COOKIES ARE  SO HANDY
There is nothing quite like cookies when it comes
to adaptability. They go fine with the morning'
coffee and equally well with the afternoon tea;
They make an acceptable- sweet to wind up any
meal, and for a between-meal bite, or an after-
school morsel they are unexcelled.
Get the habit of keeping a dozen or so of our
cookies on hand.

MURDER AND SUICID
Everett    Davenport,    While    l'u_unc
Kills Mrs. Davenport audi Himself.
The news rapidly spread Friday
noon when a report was sounded
that murder had occurred at the home
of Everett Davenport.
Mrs. Austin White, a life long
friend of the family, went to the Davenport home a little before eleven.
o'clock Friday 'forenoon and there
found the "kitchen smeared with blood,
the kitchen stove cold and articles
for breakfast on the stove, -.nd iu
the corner a heap covered with an
old carpet. This last discovery
frightened Mrs. White and she hastened for help. A few minutes latef-
Dr. Wallace and a few of the neighbors entered the home and found under the covering the dea.d body oX
Mrs. Davenport w .th her throat cut,
face and hands badly mutilated from
razor cuts and bruises. The sheriff
find coroner were called and werf:
s'oon on tlie scene,- and by foUovf.ng
the bloody footprints oils the cellar
stairs, descended and there on the
cellar bottom found Everett dead,
with his throat terribly slashed and
miangled, and the bloody razor on the
bottom tred.
Mrs. Davenport was last se-i> ot
about nine o'clock Thursday morning when she called at the nome of
Mirs. George Burkhart, where ..he
stated that Everett's mind was getting awfully bad and that she was
afraid to stay with him. The same
forenoon at about 10:30 Mrs. Austin,
White went to the Davenpoit hon>C
and entered the dining room, cilliilig
to Mrs. Davenport, and on through
the front room 'and hall. As .he received " no deply ■ she .-ii'-poscd the
hm*«-e vacant, aud went nome, iiot
trying the kitchen door. During the
■afternoon' she tried severai time.-* «;
phone but no response. Friday fore
mooi. she made a second trip to tho
■home, a'nd as on the previous day
entered the home the same way and
went the rounds as before. Coming
back into the dining room she
thought she would try the kitehen
door and upon opening it, seeing the
blood, supposed they wets butoliering
and called out, "Ade are you butchering?" Then it was that she d.s.ov-
ered the frightful happening.
The tragedy is believed to have
taken p-'ace about eight o'clock in
the morning or very soon alter on
Thursday morning, as- Mrs.' Davenport was preparing breakfast. Ar-
pearance indicates that iMr.. Duven-
was dressed in her usual moi nin 3
apparel, Everett being only p. rtially
dressed -and without slv*t. . It is
further evident that a fearful struggle took place.
Just how the tragedy _.at*ted _.
largely speculative. Some seem tc
thing that Everett made a. lirst af-
tempt upon himself near tho sir*?"' K"
the kitchem and that his wife naturally tried to * check him, which enraged him, and in a, fit of fur., turned upon her. However, this is not
certain, but it is evident tWt the
first blow was with a milk hot :.l-
which smashed and a piece of -he
glass remained in the upp.r part of
Mrs. Davenport's head, thea he used
a razor, six slashes showing :he
\ weapon's effect. And anally the
j throat was reached, also three fingers
i were brokem
! Everett had been in poor health
I for some weeks and .during his sick
ness was at times mentally unbalanced. He had worried more or l'.ss
over a few financial losses of some
time before, and for a few days pre.

The editors of small town papers
are merely human, and they are
therefore quite apt on sundry occa- '
sions to make mistakes. Such a man ■.
is the editor of Che Glen [Elder Sen- ;
tinei, who said: '"We made a mistake j
in last week's ls,-Ue of The Sentinel, j
A good subscriber told us about it. j
The same day tiiere was a letter in !
our postoffice box that didn't belong |
to us. We called for 9S over the j
phone and got 19S. We asked for a j
spool of No. 50 thread and when we ;
got home found that it was1 No. 60. |
The train was i*eported thirty min- ;
utes laje. We arrived at the depot >
twenty minutes alter train time and j
the train had gone. We got the milk '
bill and there was a mistake of 10 ■
cents in our favor. We felt sick and ;
the doctor said we were eating too j
much meat. We hadn't tasted meat {
for two months. The garage man i
said the jitney was missing Vcauso '
it needed a new timer. We cleaned ■
a spark plug and it's run tine ever !
since. Yes, we made a mistake in
last week's paper."
