"our way to deny it, because
hat puts you on the defensive,
and sending the truth after a
lie tim t's got a running start is
like trying to round up a stain
peded herd ol' steers while the|
scare is on them. Lies are great
travelers, and are welcome visi
tors in a good many homes and
no questions asked. Truth tra
vels slowly, has to ]trove its
idenity, and then ti lot of peoplef
hesitate to turn out an agreea
ble stranger to make room ior
it.
About tho only way I know
to kill a lie is to live the truth
When your credit is attacked
don't bother to deny the rumors,
ut discount your bills. When
you are attacked unjustly, avoid
the appearance of evil, but avoid!
also the appearance of being t,oo|
good-that is-better than usu

closed and people stood in knots on
the street corners and talked of the
dreadful calamity. Large numbers
of colored people sought to get a
last look at their deceased friend.;
Floral offerings came in profusion,'
made of the most beautiful flowers
in artistic- designs. Telegrams came
from many private and ofllciul
sources expressing sympathy for the
family of the deceased and the citi
zens of the county. The days were
clear and pleasant, giving all an op
portunity to show their respect and
lovo for the deceased.
Monday morning was somewhat
cloudy but the crowds began to ga
ther in town and visit the tomb in
which tho body was to rest at ar
early hour, and, before the cortege
loft the residence, the streets were
lined with a vast concourse of peo
ple from all sections of the count}

everywhere to be seen in unusually
large numbers, and thousands ol
people were present to testify t<

Condition Ppwjiers
Makes poor horses and mules^ftt without bloating. I
does this by first thoroughly! cleansing the system o
all impurities, allowing perifect assimilation of food
thereby creating solid m?sase and fat.
Horses and mules improve in appetite and spirit;
after the first few dosesf the hair sheds, and the ne?
coat is always sleek andr glossy.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders are packed in doses;
without "filler," aryogood for horses and mules only,
It is a most po\jt?rfui tonic and appetizer, being thc
'formulai of a practical veterinarian of over a quarter of a century's
experience. It is easily thefforemost remedy in its class on the
[American market to-day. Pn?cc 25 cents package.
