J. H. Price has sold out his
possessions at Abbott, Hill
county, and is expected to ar-
rive here with his family in a few
days. The Cauthen residence
just by the Christian Scienec
chapel has been rented for the
present, and he will occupy that
as his town home until he can
make other arrangements. Mr.
Price owns what is known as the
Marshall ranch and farm a few
miles west of town, and moved
here some years ago to make his
home, but his business interests
at Abbott were such that he could
not remain here and he returned
to that place. Now that he has
sold all his interests in that sec-
tion, he expects to make his per-
manent home at this place. He
will be heartily welcomed, and
we will have no better citizens
than J.H. Price and his excellent
family. T J

Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., “I had a

The Woodmen had a great
time at their meeting Friday
night, as a turkey supper had
been provided in addition to the

secure those who loaned to her.
It is claimed that she is the iden-
tical woman who spent two years
in the Ohio penitentiary two or
three years ago for similar for-
geries. Some women have com-
mercial sense, and in some it runs
to thievery as in this case.

Torture ot a Preacher.
The story of the torture of Rev. O. D.
Moore, pastor of the Baptist church, of
Harpersvlle, N. Y., will interest you.
He says: “I suffered agonies, because of

joyed together. There was plen-

Thornton Read writes The
Leader that he will be home to
spend the holidays, and probably
furnish The Leader readers some
matter from his fertile brain. He

E. H, Loveless was in from
Lucy creek and had advancement
made on the four copies of The
Leader which he pays for regu-
larly. There is a young man who
makes a success in life, and
knows just how to have some-
thing to sell at the time when
other people want to buy. He
uses the- newspapers in his bus-
ness and finds advertising profit-
able, although some people might
call him a “one horse farmer.”
He travels the road that leads to
success, and uses brains in his
business. The Leader would be
pleased to see the country, filled
with men of his stripe.
