Strange stories are told these days about Pepo’s ghost which it is alleged makes its appearance almost, nightly at the jail. It usually appears just after dark and in almost the same place where the murderer was hanged. If nay one else than TJndersheriff Acton were the tel ler of tte story no one would pay any attention’ to it. But Acton is known to be without fear and he is not in the least superstitious. He says the‘first time be eaw the \ghost was one night just after ' ( ;> ‘ -T • ‘ - (' ' • ' UF-*' F * 1 dark when he went out to the coal hbuse for a'hbd of coal. The'ghost was danc ing or sort of waltzing around on thelcoso plankr right where the ¿hanging’ took placo. Acton says it looked exactly like Pepo'only it had a kind of kink in tho neck. This appearance is what one might expect to see when it is remem bered what a twist poor Pepo’s neck got at that identical spot at the time he was made into a ghost nearly «a year ago. When Acton first saw the ghost which was but a few fest away be spoke to it or him and tried to converse but the ghost wouldn’t talk but kept on dnneing. The plucky undersherifE admits that it is a V- ♦ ,. terror. He declares that the very thought of meeting that ghostty apparition in the dark gives him a creepy crawly feeling that he never felt before, and never wants to feel again. Moreover he h».s out a standing invitation for any oue-doubting the literal truth of the story he tolls to go to the jail any dark night and ho predicts such person will never want to go the second time. TJndersheriff' Acton and, Jailor Davis take no more chances ; o f ’ carrying coal after,dark but make'sure of a supply• before darkness \comes \oil;’ Ghosts always seem to prefer'darkness' rather than light ancl Pepo’s'is no except tion to the rule. ' “I hobbled into Mr. Blackmon’s drug store one evening,” says Wesley Nelson of Hamilton Ga., “ and he asked me to try Chamberlain’E Pain Balm for rheumatism with which I had suffered for a long time I told him I had no faith in medicine as they all failed. He said: ‘ Well if Cham berlain’s Pain Balm does not help you, you need mot pay for it.’ I took a bottle borne and used it according to directions and in one week I was cured, and have not since been troubled with rheuma tism.” Sold by C.
