Missouri MEDFORD From a Mnrhl Ciittr To the Editor: A friend handed In the Isime of Mnroh 14. IMS, regarding the Wash- lnston monument. My father, J. H. Ruaaell, art out the flrat stone there for the B. F. Dowell house In the east part of Jacksonville In crystal white marble. While we lived on Coleman Creek back of Oass Burg In 1860. Thla la about three mllea from Herb Coleman's at Blue Rock. He had a marble saw mill between two tress for the sides of the rain to run against, but the wind would not let the saw run smooth, so he cut the tops off and put a plate there. It waa while there that mother com menced carving. Her first piece was wild rose buds and leaves, patterned from a bush close to the shed. While papa was working for Dowell, he moved us to Grandpa Hills (now Junction l, and went to John Dny'a River Gold Rush. He was gone about 18 months, then returned and raised tobacco on some land Just west or the Junction. Later we moved ta Ash land, on Poverty Hill, where our old homeslte Is. One of the first large slabs of the crystal white marble Is Orandpa Isaac Hill s stone In the Hill ceme tery near Junction, later known as King's Burial Place. This is now owned. I think, by Barron. His motherst marker Is made of one of the first pieces sawed In the Ashland shop. Mother carved and lettered the stone almost 70 years ago. I commenced tending saws at 8 years of age, 70 years ago. The first crystal white must have come off the top of marble halls, as they hauled It down on a "Llzzard A" forked oak with plases across It. Later, working down near whero I wotild Judge Is Jones. Bros, now and the lime kilns. The only name i can remember is John Johns, as I rode my white pinto pony without rope or bridle, guiding her with a switch. Maybe some of the boys may remember me that way. Lots of marble Is In Jacksonville. Ashland. Phoenix (then Gass Burg cemetery). Father sold In Douglas county and Josephine county. At one time he hsd over 100 orders, mostly slabs 1 ft. by 1 In. thick, and 3 ft. high for S25. Here In Yreka are slabs over 60 yeara old from tse same quar ry, free from moss, and the polish la as smooth as ever. There was no gloss finish then; Just fine grit and home work. I have a cross here, mother said I cut when I was 12, I can give the history of the transpor tation from the quarry to the home ' mill In Ashland, if you wish. I J. B. Russell, Yrcka, April 30.

H. Murphy of Al- Why You Should Never Cut a Corn If you are troubled with coma or callouses, do not run the risk of blood poison by paring them. Statis tics show that many infectlona have occurred from this seemingly Inno cent practice of paring corns. Simply go to your druggist and get a few cents worth of Ice-Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or cal lous. Immediately the pain will dis appear and In a short time the corn or callous will loosen and lift off eas ily with the fiaera root and all leaving the surrounding akin In a healthy normal condition. This, together with the fact that toe-Mint overcomes auch affections, as sore, tired, aching, puffed or burn ing feet and makes them cool, easy and comfortable, Is probably respon sible for the hearty endorsement giv en it by druggists. To rid onea feet of every hard corn, soft corn, oorn between the toes or painful callouses In such a pleas ant and safe way, makes It seem the height of folly for anyone to pare a corn and people are warned to stop it.
