Last Thursday, an old hermit, named Cooke, living with his brother-in-law near Cedarville, suddenly disappeared and search was at once instituted. No trace of him could be found for five days. The woods was searched and careful search was made in every place where the searching party thought he might be found. On Tuesday word was received that a person answering his description had been seen in Golden City and Mr. Cooke's brother-in-law at once started for that place. We have not learned whether or not the party at Golden proved to be the hermit. The Jerico Optic The hanging and burial of Joda Hamilton, the Texas County murderer was according to the Houston Star, the most remarkable in history, because he was hanged twice and buried twice. The first time the trap was sprung the noose became untied and Hamilton revived, only to be hanged again. He was hauled to the cemetery by the mule team that he took from the family he murdered. The first time he was lowered into the grave the rough box was to large. After the end of the box had been knocked in the body was again lowered into the grave. Houston Star Corn Cob Time Here The old settler who has been telling the story of going to mill when he was a boy, witnessed more going to the mill Saturday than he ever saw during his boyhood days in the same length of time. The men and boys were all going to mill today, but they were not taking either corn nor wheat, but simply were going after cobs. The Sullivan Mill near Union Station has had a mountain of cobs for several days and, being unable to dispose of them fast enough, offered the cobs to the public free of cost. Every vehicle in town suitable for such hauling has been making trips to the bog cob mountain. Cobs are useful as kindling and also make a hot fire. Coal of $4 and cobs free, puts cobs in strong demand.
