Bl2ze Causes Excitement During the dry weather of the past spring with all growing vegetation greatly retarded by the hot, dry wind and lack of moisture, it does not take very much to start a fire. Just recent ly a few sparks from a passing loco motive caught the dry grass in front of the Burlington station afire and it burned fiercely for a few moments, but was discovered by E. A. Landon, who hastened to extinguish the flames, thus saving the trees and shrubbery in his yard and prevented his lawn from burning over. There are pine trees and other ornamental trees in the yard which would have been severely damaged had not the fire been noticed and extinguished. Built Fence Around Park The baseball team of Greenwood, which is one of the strong teams of this part of the state and holds its Why Doctors Favor a Lipid Laxative A doctor will tell you that the care less choice of laxatives is a common cause of chronic constipation. Any hospital offers evidence of the harm done by harsh laxatives that drain the system, weaken the bowel muscles, and even affect the liver and kidneys. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be controlled. It forms no habit; you needn't take a "double dose" a day or two later. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has the average person's bowels regular as clockwork in a few weeks time. "Why not try it? Some pill or tablet may be more convenient to carry. But there is little "convenience" in any cathartic which is taken so frequently, you must carry it with, you, wherever you go! Its very taste tells you Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A delightful taste, and delightful action. Safe for expectant mothers, and children. All druggists, ready for use, in big bottles. Member N. R. A. full share of victories won, have dur ing the past few days enclosed their park at Greenwood with a woven wire fence, in order that they may keep out those who do not care enuf about the game to pay for their ad mittance, but who like to see the game without paying for it. It costs to play baseball and when the play ers put their time and money into the game, and do all the work besides, these who enjoy the game should be willing to do their part by paying for their entertainment. Storm Does Much Damage The rain which came on last Sat urday night was in some instances accompanied by hail, this being the case between Murdock and Green wood and north of Greenwood where gardens, fruit and small grain were all damaged more or less. The corn net yet being up, suffered no dam age. Cherries, apples and peaches were knocked from the trees quite badly and the crop will be cut short as a result. The Credit Association The organization of the Credit as sociation is going forward with the work being done by those interested. Quietly, but in earnest, that an asso ciation may be organized that will are for the business interests of the rommunity and be so organized that the state banking laws will not have power to interfere with the workings of the organization and stop their operation. Thus will the interests of the community and business of the town be cared for without interfer ence. Oliver E. Sayles Passes Mr. Oliver E.
