Utica clippings from the Toro to Rumors is often very much astray in the matter of 'actual facts, but if Hollinger had a large sum of money on his person or about the house, the question naturally arises as to its) es present whereabouts. The police] should be careful in their conclusions |' as it 'would be unfortunate for the cnmmunity if the suicide theory allow- ed a murderer or murderers to roam around at will. "Neighbors, however, go so far as to state that this mau, carried around in his pocket rolls of bills estimated as totaling, af various times, anywhere from five hundred to a thousand dol- lars, and ate scarcely enough to keep a child alive, and that his winter clothing would be considered too scanty for summer wear by some peo- ple: And yet, ten years or more ago, George Hollinger was the Beau Brum- mel. of the village. His Sunday ap- pearance roused the admiration of the women and the secret envy of most of the men about the district. - His top- per was the shiniest, his morning coat the tightest, and moustache wax- ed the stiffest of any in the neighbor- hood of Cherrywood. He didnot have large rolls of bills constantly in his pocket, but he seemed PIOsperous enough. Then, nine years ago, his wife died, and a change was soon apparent, The fine clothes began to wear out, His clothing -was a:marvel of neg- ligee. = It consisted of: 'One wery old coat, one pair of trousers, ragged: and one pair of boots or 'overshoes, vént: ilated. "That was all. It is the firm belief of the neighbors that the house has not been swept from the time of his wife's death. However that be, at least all were in agreement that it was no fit place for a man to inbabit. Thus George Hollinger lived, and when he died he left a farm unen- cumbered by mortgage, part of which had been sold for railway right-of-way for $100. an acre--so the whole must be fairly valuable--and at least $73. actual cash which was found in his clothing.

Dear Sir--In reference to the newspaper items regarding inferior lightning rods boing sold; would say that we can hardly believe that these| articles refer to our make of rods. We have been making lightning rods for thirty years, and we have never re ceived a complaint as fo them; nor have we heard of a single building being damaged where our rods are 'in use, - This, we feel, goes to prove that in addition to our rods being} properly erected, their construction is}: such, that they give 100 per cents : protection.
