THE KISSING BUG

One Was Captured at Coldwater Recently.

Until this week that dread pest, the "kissing bug," had not invaded Coldwater but at last his presence can no longer be disputed. While entering her home on N. Monroe st. one evening this week a young lady was struck squarely on the lips by a kissing bug. She was passing through the dark hallway when attacked, but no sooner was she struck than she let out a yell which aroused the household, who rushed to her assistance, turned on the lights and the marauder was captured. It was five feet seven inches long, weighed 163 pounds, had a mustache and had mistaken the young lady for her sister. -Coldwater Republican.
