Santonine Worm Lozenges. They
have saved thousands of children.
They drive ont The worms without
pain-they cleanse the stomach, and
make the little ones bloom and bios
som as the rose. They are the finest
and best medicine ever made. Thou

them in preference to anything else
for worms. Try Parkers Lozenges.

FoUL MURDER.
A Mau's Brains Beaf Out on his
Return from Church.

Intelligence OF a brutal and deliber-
ate murder, comes to us from Hum
boldt. Gabe Gillespie, COL, while
returning home from a church meet
ing on Monday night, was set upon
by two negroes, knocked down and
and his brains literally beat out. The
scene of the tragedy was near Giles
pies house, whose wife hearing the
blows, rushed out and discovered the
perpetrators of the foul deed retreat
ing from the spot. A colored preach
er, who had been attracted bv the
cries of the wounded man was making
his way III that direction, when he
met Frank and Ed White, brothers,
running rapidly past him; when he
hailed them asking "where they were
going" one of them replied, "we are
going where that man is following"
The preacher remarked that "tAey
are going the wrong way" but they
didn't think 50. Gillespie lived only
a few moments-an examination show
ing his head was beat into jelly with
some metal implement. AS soon as
the news Of the murder reached tie
ears of an officer he proceeded at once
to arrest Frank and Ed White, in
whose house he found two bloody
hatchets and blood on the coat of
Frank White. The two were incar- |
cerated and the trial was set for hear
ing on Tuesday.

The bridge out on Eaton levee
across cane creek caved in this week
just after a wagon had passed over it.
Ghe;recent high water had undermined
it. There are very few good bridges
in the county. The credit Of the coun-

class work being done when it is paid
with deprecated warrants. Then
there is no adequate system of insuecs
ton of public works. Cannot a new
and better system be adopted?
