J. W. Prayter, who died in Ashland last week from the effect of cancer on the lip, was a former resident of Talent. He suffered intense agony from the disease for more than two years, during which time he tried a number of celebrated cancer doctors but to no avail. He attributed the cause of the cancer to a slight cut received while in a barber's chair. It is very dangerous to patronize a public barber where the razors are used by the promiscuous public as many incurable diseases are propagated in that way.
