A Desperate Character shoots His Wife,
and Wounds n Man, Who Returns
tho Fire with Like Effect.
On Shelton Laurel creek, Madison
county, N. c., near the Tennessee line,
last Friday evening, a man, who goes by
the nam of Brother Shelton and
Brother Gosling," shot and killed a wo-
man whom he had called his wife, and
wounded a man by the name of Shelton.
Some three years ago Gosling separat-
ed from the woman and she has since ia
ken up her abode with another man, Shell
ton by name. On the above mentioned
evening Gosling met this couple at a
grocery in the neighborhood mentioned
and shot the woman, who lived about if
teen minutes.
Costing fired a second time putting a
bullet through Shelton's left hand. At
this Shelton pulled his pistol and fired at
Gosling striking him also in the hand
making a bad wound; the bullet strik-
ing between his fingers and passing
thence through the hand lengthwise and
coming out just above the wrist, tearing
the member badly.
Gosling is understood to have escaped
and is in hiding in the mountains. A
party of ten or twelve men from North
Carolina have been looking for him, but
at last accounts they had not been sue
ccssful in their search. Gosling is said
to be q desperate character.

Ny wife has been a great sufferer from
Catarrh. Several physicians and various
patent medicines were resorted to, yet
the disease continued undated, nothing
appearing to make any impression upon
it. Her constitution finally became i'm
.plicated, the poison being in her blood.
l secured a bottle of B. B. B. and
placed her upon its use, and to our sur
prise the improvement began at once, and
her recovery was rapid and complete.
No other preparation ever produced such
a wonderful change, and for all forms of
Blood Disease l cheerfully recommend
b. B. B. as a superior Blood Purifier.

Practicing fraud by advertising all sorts
of vile nostrums in the papers ought to
be stopped. How many persons who read
some article that seems very startling and
of interest, find to their disgust that it is
another patent medicine advertisement.
Not so when Symphix, the Great Cough
Remedy, is mentioned. Thousands Of
persons who have suffered with Coughs,
Colds, Whooping Cough, etc, read the
old, old story about Symphix with renew
ed pleasure. We can recommend it. Too
much can not be said Of its virtues. 3t

Over 200, 900 pounds of tobacco were
sold in the Bristol market the past week.
Prices were strong in all grades of
bright leaf. A number of crops were sold
at fine prices. Wehave space to mention
only a few. w. B. Roberts, of S~altville,
Va, sold at an average of S17 per 100;
L. d. Waddell, of Greene county sold
1122 pounds at $12i and $50 at $25; J.F.
Moon, of Madison, N. c., sold at an av.
erage Of $40; l. Reeves and p. Gray,
Greene county, 1868 at $23 and SIT at $40;
Taylor Gray & Bro, Greene county, 6S5

sos at $12t; w. T. Parker, of Hawkins,
Tenn, got fine prices and so did w. w.
Broyles, of Washington county, Tenn,
|. III. Greene and |. l.. Heedron, of Sewer
county, sold at fine prices. But the
browning sale of all was the crop Of Geo.
b. Carthron, of Hamblen county. We
give his sales in detail, as taken from the
warehouse books:
164@$7, 121@$7f, 2O3@$s4, 59@$9f
177@$12, 65@$131, 1S7@$17t, 2O5@$2O,

So Mr.. Carthron walked off with the
blue ribbon and the elegant premium hat
offered by the Messrs. Winston & Son to
the planter selling at the best prices.
These sales were made by |. ii. Wins
ton d Son, who seem to have the knack
of getting good prices.
Our planters cannot do better than to
c0nsign their tobacco to them.
