TRAGEDY AT sOMERVnIE.
A Young Man Shot Dead by his
Companion While Fishing.

Companion While Fishing
We learn Of a most shocking tragedy
which occurred yesterday at fuckers
mill, in the immediate vicinity of Som
e@rville. Two young men, Robert Farris,
aged twenty-one, and John Jones, aged
about seventeen, were fishing together
in Loosa Hatchie river, A number OF
other persons, white and black, we're
likewise engaged. aa
The report comes that Farris started
to pick up Jones fishing pole. Jones
threatened to shoot him if he touched
it. Farris paid no attention to the re-
mark and picked up the pole, when
Jones leveled a double-barreled shotgun
and fired. The load took effect in the
heart, killing him instantly. No cause
is assigned, They had been on friendly
terms always, and no difficulty is known
to have occurred between them. They
were respectable, Industrious boys.
Jones is high tempered, and perhaps
acted on a sudden angry impulse. Far
ris was a remarkably quiet, inoffensive
young man. Their mothers are widows,
and live in Somerville. Jones was ar
rested

actor would seem to suggest, but allow
ance must be made for an excess Of
amusements last week and other attrac-

seemed more heartily to enter into the
spirit of the characters assumed. Espe-
cially was this SO in "Solon Single" in
which he kept the house in a roar of
laughter. The piece ran smoothly from
first to last and the interest of the audi
enc was never permitted to droop for a
moment. Those familiar with the play
laughed as heartily and enjoyed it as
much as those who were there for the
first time. The appearance of Theo.
Hamilton and other old Memphis favor
ties gave great satisfaction, Tonight

A Tonic of MART

Aunic OF rare Merlts
There are many TONES. but few indeed
which produce any other effect than artificial
stimulation of the appetite. This, so far from
being a benefit, is a positive detriment, if the
digestive organs are weak, because il induces
the patient to eat more than the semi-para-
lyzed stomach can act upon. and thus aggra-
Yates indigestion. There is, however, a tonic
which possesses the rare merit of imparting
both vigor and regularity to the operations of
nutrition. HOstetter's Stomach Bitters pro-
woke a wholesome appetite. because they en-
able the stomach to dispose Of what it receives
with such healthful rapidity that at the
proper time for meals It'll mot torpid from in
digested matter, but Graves its timely susie
nance. 1t is the very fact that il facilitates
digestion that renders the national stomachie
such n powerful coadjutor Of nature in insti-
tuting those recuperative processes which
result in the recovery Of the general health.
Uninterrupted. vigorous action of the physi-
cal machinery inevitably results from the use
Of this. supreme invigorant and Alternative.
