Catarrh

I s blood disease. Until the poison is | expelled from the system, there can be no cure for this loathsome and dangerous malady. Therefore, the only effective treatment is a thorough course of Ayers Sarsaparilla - the best of all blood purifiers. The sooner you begin the better; delay is dangerous.
 CT was troubled with catarrh for over two years. l tried various remedies, and was treated by a number of physi- cians, but received no benefit until began to take Ayers Sarsaparilla. A few bottles of this medicine cured me of this troublesome complaint and com pletely restored my health. h."-Jesse M. Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. c.
 "when Ayers Sarsaparilla was rec commended to me for catarrh, l was in- clined to doubt it's efficacy. Having tried SO many remedies, with little ben eft, had no faith that anything would cure me. I became emaciated from loss of appetite and impaired digestion. I had nearly lost the sense of smell, and my system was badly deranged. was about discouraged, when a friend urged me to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and re- ferred me to persons whom it had cured of catarrh. After taking half 0 dozen bottles of this medicine, am convinced that the only sure way of treating this obstinate disease is through the blood.' Charles H. Maloney, 113 River St., Lowell, Mass.

HOMICIDE.-Russell Watson kill
ed William Allen, near Pineville, in
the lower portion of this parish, on
last Sunday about I o'clock A. M
Both are colored.
Allen was the husband of Wat
sons sister, and the husband and
wife had separated about year ago.
Last Saturday night Allen went to
the house of his father in-law, Sam
Watson, at which his, Alletl's, wife
has resided since the separation,
aud refused to leave; and finally got
fnto an alteration with Sam Wat
son, and while advancing on him
with a knife, was shot by Russell,
who is son of Sam.
Our friends from the vicinity of
the tragedy, who are familiar with
Che facts, think Russell Watson did
right, and was justifable in killing
Allen. Russell Watson promptly
surrendered himself, and was in
Bellevue Monday asking for an in
vestigation of the matter by the
officers of the law, and it is probable
that a preliminary trial will be held
before Judge Boone next week.

Fiend.

The Story of q Third Visit of the Fire
Fiend.
Thanksgiving day brought to Boston
its most disastrous conhagration since
1872. At s Is O'Clock in the morning a
badly-insulated electric light wire started
fire in the big six story brownstone
building, SO and II Kingston street, oc-
cupied by Brown, Durrell & Co., the
largest wholesale dry goods house in
Boston. 1t got q good start, and when
discovered the entire house was mass
of flames.
On the east side OF Chauncy street
were mammoth structures, occupied as
wholesale houses in the dry goods and
fancy goods trade, and every endeavor
was made to keep them from catching,
but it was fu tile. The flames rushed on
in both direc tons, and the large retail
dry goods establishment of Jordan,
Marsh & Co. corner of Washington and
Arch streets. was soon among the num-
Der consume d.
The conha grafton was accompanied by
many thrilling occurrences. At 10 80
o'clock the fire, which started two hours
previously ON the southwest corner of
Bedford ancl Kingston streets, had ex-
tended to Harrison avenue south, to
Rowe place, west to Chauncy street, and
along King ston street nearly to Summer,
and despite the heavy rain and presence
Of the entire department, crossed Chaun-
cy street a ad showed no signs of stop
ping until The common was reached. So
rapid was the spread of the flames from
the big b uilding occupied by Brown,
Durrell & Co., to the four-story brick
building on the other side of Bedford
street, occupied by Lamson & Hubbard,
matters, that engines 6, and 9 had to be
abandoned only to be crushed out of all
shape by falling walls. Hayes Truck ii,
which on the first alarm took up a posi-
ton on the south end of Kingston street,
was also abandoned and shared in the
fate of the tn rec engines.
By this tin le the city was in an uproar.
Merchants C ,me rushing to their stores
only to be hi irried out Of danger by the
police despih their cries and appeals.
Frantic calls for aid had been sent out
to all the n eighboring towns and cities,
and even Lynn sent her crippled force.
By noon CT lange of wind removed the
greatest danger, and at this time the
fremen. haeI been REINFORCED to fifty
engines.
The fire started in the same district
where the great fire Of 1872 began, and
the best part Of eleven blocks of costly
buildings has been wiped out. The fire
broke out. a second time this afternoon,
but was subdued after hard struggle.
The correspondent of New York pa
pers estimate the loss by the fire as fol-
lows: Tribune SIC, 900 900; Sun, $1,000
