That Fishing Trip
We have been asked so many
questions concerning the fishing
trip made by Ernest Hayes, Ref.
J. E. Peaden, Lewis Dickson and
the editor the first of last week
we have decided to “write it up.
To start the story we will
state that it rained, rained every
day. We were prepared for it
however, with wagon sheet, bows
and tent. We left Deport about
nine o’clock Monday morning
and by ten-thirty had reached
the northeast corner of Geo
Grant’s pasture, when it began
to rain. VTe drove in the rain
until we reached the McCrury
school house, when the storm
was at it heighth. All our bed-
ing, food, etc., was in the bottom
of the boat, whose efid protruded
from under the wagon sheet at
the rear of the wagon, and the
water was running down in the
boat and wetting everything.
We unloaded the stuff, put it in
the school house, and upon inves
gation found dry wood and kind-
ling in the stove, ready to stick
a match to. This was done and
in a short time dinner was cook-
ed, and our clothes dried.
The journey was continued and
Terry lake reached about four
o’clock that afternoon. We found
every spot in the bottom wet„and
soggy. A dead Hickory was
felled and soon we had a roaring
fire. This was moved three times
to. dry a place upon which to
pitch our tent.
A little before sun down we
placed twenty-five floats and a
trot line in the lake, and Ernest
Hayes and the editor set out the
net. It would have been danger-
ous for the gentleman who took
that net up the last time it was
used, to have been on the spot
when our job was completed. It
was tangled by briars, baling
wire, sticks, etc., and the lead
line was tangled in the net in a
dozen places. Things were said
that would not look well in print.
Upon returning to camp it was
decided that Mr. Hayes and the
writer should hunt squirrels and
Mr. Dickson and Rev. Peaden
cook supper. The bottom was
covered in most places with
about two inches of water which
prevented one moving around
without a great nqise and the
writer derided to "still hunt.”
After being out of camp fifteen
minutes we heard Mr. Hayes’
gun fire, counted squirrel No. 1.
and became impatient for fear
we would not get one. We sat
down on a wet log another fif-
teen minutes and directly heard
the swish! swish! of Mr. Hayes
walking in the water 200 yards
away. The Poise grew louder
as the hunter (?) approached to
within 50 yards of where we sat.
Suddenly we wpre startled by
the report of his gun and mud,
hark, twigs and shot showered
around us. We imagined he
had shot a squirrel from the
tree directly over us, but did
not see or hear one fall. The
hunter turned and moved away
toward camp. We failed to se i
any squirrels and upon our re
turn Mr. Hayes said that he had
killed two. Investigation show-
ed the ‘squirrels’ to be swamp
rabbits, killed for bait. Supper
over, the tent was erected, and a
bale of hay helped to make a
good bed.
The next morning the writer
killed two squirrels while Iiev.
Peaden and Mr. Hayes took fish
from the net for breakfast. One
of the frisky tail^was young and
we received a reprimand from
Rev. Peaden for shooting it, but
we noticed that he ate all of it..
By noon about thirty pounds
of fish had been caught, when
rain began to fall, accompanied
by hail, wind' and lightning.
Water ran under the tent and
wet our quilts and hay. The hail
beat rain through the tent and
we thought the large, jagged
icy stones wpuld come through
too. Lightning tlaghed, thunder
rolled, the wind blsw as if it
would take tile's tent down at
every puff giant trees crackled
Deposits Savings in Bank |!
Some speculation was caused
last Tuesday at the 8tate Bank
of Omaha, when Rev. S. H.N
Price entered the bank with a
pair of old-fashior.ed saddle bags
on his arm, but the wonder and
surprise was further intensified
when the old gentleman emptied
out of the saddle pockets the
sum of $1,851.50 which he wish-
ed to place on deposit.
What makes the transaction
unusual is that $1,452.50 was in
gold, some of which had been
buried for thirty-five years, and
another odd feature is that $59
was in dimes which Mrs. Price
had slipped trom her husband’s
pockets from time to time for
years past, which Mr. Price
knew nothing of until he and his
wife had talked the matter over
and decided to dig up their
treasure aud deposit it in some
bank.
Knowing that they had some
good friends connected with the
State Bank of Omaha, they de-
cided on it as a Vsafe place for
their savings of a lifetime.
Rev. Price is 78 years of age
and is an ex-Confederate soldier;

Paint Put-on
Think of paint put-on and not
by the gallon.
A gallon of paint in the can is
of no account to anybody. Put
it on. Now reckon its cost and
value.
The secret is: one paint, goes
twice as far as another. A good
one goes twice as far as a bad
one.
You have a job, say an average
job. It’ll take 10 gallons Devoe
and 12 or 15 or 18 or 20 of mid-
dling poor very-poor and trash.
You know painter’s wages in
yj>ur town. Put the price of a
gallon of paint and the painter’s
day-wage together. You can, we
can’t.
Devoe costs less than any in-
ferior paint; there are hundreds
of them.
One paint is as good as anoth-
er, so long as it lasts good; one
lasts months and another years;
and the one that goes furthest
lasts longest. Devoe
Brazelton, Pryor & Co?sell it.
In Our Last Ad.
we gave you our prices on Flour, Meal, Meat,
Syrup, Coffees, Dried Fruits, and a number
of other things. The prices given on many of
them represent a considerable saving over
those quoted by others.
Would a Saving of Sev-
eral Dollars
on your monthly*-Grocery bill Interest you?
It seems to us that It should. If you are not
already a customer of ours we would be glad
to have you call and see us/ Our stock of
goods is always Fresh as we buy only in small
lots. We believe that ,
“Belle of Wichita”
is one of the best flours milled. It has given
universal satisfaction. It’s a “repeater.”
We want you to buy a sack and try it. We
believe you will be pleased with it.
We can always suppy you with FRESH
VEGETABLES.
We are always in the market for your
Chickens, Eggs, and Butter and will pay you
the HIGHEST MARKET PRICE.
The Cash Grocery
“Why Pay Cash at a Credit Store?”
L. L. Bowen has been in Sher-
man the past week on business.
and crashed to the ground and
we were anything but comfort-
able. The wild rage of the ele-
ments is beyond us to describe,
but those who have gone through
a similar experience know what
we are talking about. Trenches
around the tent on the inside
were dug before enougli water
ran under to wet all the bedding.
The lake rose a foot and a half
in three hours and vve wondered
if Sulphur had crawled out of
her banks from Monday’s rain
and cut off our route home.
So much timber was falling
that it would have been danger-
to have hunted squirrels laie that
evening. We retired early that
night with the thought that un-
easy lies the head that goes ffsh-
ing on land that overflows.
Wednesday morning we got an
early start home. When Sulphur
was reached, Rev. Peaden and
Mr. Hayes stopped to fish, with
the intention of overtaking the
wajjon farther on. The roads
were, not heavy on the gray land
and the wagon made good pro-
gress. When they hove in sight
their tongues were hanging out,
so to speak.
A stop was made at Long
branch for dinner, and about
three o’clock we reached Joe
Henderson’s place, when it be-
gan to rain. The wagon was
driven under his shed until the
rain was over, and the remainder
of the trip home was made in a
short time.
Fifty pounds of fish and three
squirrels is small compensation
for a trip like the above, but we
had a good time despite the
weather man.

Now Well
"Thedford’s Black-Draught
is the best all-round medicine
lever used,” writes J. A.
Steelman, of Pattonville, Texas.
”1 suffered terribly with liver
troubles, and could get no relief.
The doctors said I had con-
sumption. I could not work at
all. Finally I tried
THEDFORD’S
BLACK-
DRAUGHT
and to my surprise, I got better,
and am to-day as well as any
man.” Thedford’s Black-
Draught is a general cathartic,
vegetable liver medicine, that
has been regulating irregulari-
ties of the liver, stomach and
bowels, for over 70 years. Get
a package today. Insist on the
genuine—Thedford’s. E-70
These days a luxury becomes
a necessity as soon as we can
borrow enough money to buy it.
