Ey During the epidemic of fiux in this

Cholera and Diarrhoca Remedy on hand.
People often came ten or twelve miles in

given better satisfaction in cases OF
diarrhoea aud fluX, than any other medi-
cine | have ever handied.-J. Fl. Ben

Over five hundred bottles Of this rene
dy were sold in that county during the
epidemic referred to. 1t was perfect
success and was the only remedy that did
cure the worst cases. Dozens of persons
there will certify that it saved their lives

From accounts published in the
Times Democrat and Stats it would
seem that the facts would prove Hill
lard Richardson was foully murdered
near Bayou Sara last week, on the
day the election was held to choose a
Senator in the Felicianas. He and
Eugene Taylor had come to blows and
shots were exchanged - both were
wounded. After this Richardson was
fired at by crowd of men, who gath
cred around him at the same time. He
defended himself as best be could but
was finally shot down and killed,
Such state of affairs is worse than
horrible, and it behooves those in
power and with the authority to act to
Try and bring the malefactors in this
case to the bar of justice.
