ter, particularly coal ashes, is recon-
mended for current worms. Cover the

are other remedies. Are people not

A SILLY JOKE WITH A TRAGIC ISSUE.
On Tuesday night a party of seven
students of Emory and Henry College,
disguised themselves as Ku-Kluxes and
visited the house of a negro named John
Foster, near the college, for the purpose
of soaring him and amusing themselves.
Each one had pistol, two being proper
ly loaded for an emergency and the
other five charged with blank cartridg-
es. Calling the negro from his house,
the foolish fellows commenced to fire on
him with blank cartridges, frightening
him of course, as much as if the pistols
had been loaded with balls. Becoming
desperate, Foster finally drew his own
pistol and fired at the party, the shot
taking effect in the breast of young
man named Henry Pitts, son of DR..
Pitts of Abingdon, infiicting a very seri-
Gus if not fatal wound. The students
then fired several shots at the negro, but
did not strike. him. They then retired
with their wounded o IN p a II o H.
