Readers of The Herald will note that the paper appears in
three sections of ei?ht pa res this week, a total of twenty-four
pages. Their attention is directed to the fact that each sec
tion is crammed full of interesting news and advertisements,
and that it will bo well worth their time to go carefully through
each part of the paper.
Advertisers arc learning that in order to get results it pays
to advertise in the paper that has the circulation and gives its
readers the news. Wc believe that, the best testimonial The
Herald could get is the fact that each week the paper is stead
ily growing in Rizc, the amount of news and advertisements
carried, and in circulation. No other paper in the western end
of the state can compare with The Herald in any of these fea
tures. Herald readers will show their appreciation of our efforts
to give them the most for their money by carefully reading the
advertisements which appear in the paper and by mentioning
to the advertisers that they saw the ads in this paper. Adver
tisers feel that they are getting value received for their money
when this paper goes each week into 3,000 homes. An average
of only four readers to each paper gives a total of 12,000 read
ers per week.
Wc appreciate the efforts of many of our readers who fur
nish us with news of interest. We appreciate the interest and
efforts of others who always boost for their paper The Herald
at every opportunity. We endeavor to reciprocate by mak
ing each succeeding paper a better one than the last one. We
invite comparison with other newspapers. We have no friends
to protect nor enemies to punish.

A young man, who gives the name
of F. K. Moore, Is in the county Jail,
charged with the crime of rape, his
victim being Kernlce Fallor, a little
girl 8 years of age.
Moore was arrested by Sheriff Cox

diligently for the criminal.
The crime Is alleged to have been
committed Monday, at about 4:30, In
an empty house, Just south of the
Kurllngton tracks, southwest of the

limits. It Is a locality known as
"West Lawn" and there are a num
ber of residences there occupied
mostly by people In the employ of the
railroad company.

girls sauntered along on their way

vicinity of the empty house, which is
owned by Steve Holt, the girls were
accosted by a young man who is de
scribed by them as wearing a striped
suit, which events proved to be
striped overalls, such as are worn to
protect better clothing from dust and
dirt. The man said, "Come over
here, girls, and I will give you a

but Kernlce Fallor, never doubting
the man's good Intentions, went to
ward the house, when she was grab

The Kelley girl, badly seared, ran on
home. Kernlce Failor was detained

when she was pushed out the front

door toward the rear. She Bays the
