A Little GIrI's Experience In A
 Lighthouse.

Mrs. Loren Prescott are keepers of the Government Lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich, and are blessed with a daughter fonr years old. Last April she was taken down with measles, fol. lowed with dreadful cough and turn ing into fever. Doctor at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain she grew rapidly worse until she was a mere sshandful of bones." Then she tired Dr. Kings New Discovery and after the use of two and half bottles was completely cured. They say Dr. Kings New Discovery Is worth it's weight in gold yet you may get trial bottle free, at J. W. Wells drugstore.

 J. W. Yates, Tulahoma, Tenn. writes: cit doos me good to praise Botanic Blood Balm. It cured me of an abscess on the lungs and asthma that troubled me two years and that other remedies failed to benefitn
 So you see it is sometimes well to try constitutional treatment. No remedy is so good as B. B. E. Botanic Blood Balm for rebuilding wasted tissue and giving health to every portion of the system reached by that great circulat- ing stream of life, the human blood Again iti often supposed that colds and exposure are the only causes of sciatica, rheumatism, etc. Such is not the case. It is frequently caused by impurities in tue blood.

Fire Sunday Night.

ITO 0uAOay 4NASAls
About IL O'Clock Sunday night fire
broke out in what is known as the
Horse Shoe quarter Of town just back
from Playground street in the rear of
w. S. Parker's. The property consisted
of number of tenent houses occupied
by colored people, and an old gin house,
all belonging to the estate of W. A.
Cheatham. In the first named. or that
is he part that was burned, four colored
families were living. The gin house
was occupied by Charles w. Finch. In
it were 9 bales of cotton, a quantity of
seed cotton and about 1000 bushels of
seed. This was totally destroyed,
together with all the machinry in the
building. The gin was driven by a large
stationary engine which was also con-
siderably damaged. In all Mr.. Finch
lost about 81 500. He had no insurance
whatever. His loss is quite serious, the
profits of years Of work in the ginning
business being swept away in a few
hours. He IS an industrious, hard
working man and while this misfortune
is trying one he will not be cast down.
BY it. Most of the occupants Of the
houses lost everything they had in the
way Of clothing, bedding, furniture,
SC. The origin of the fire is unknown,
but persons in the neighborhood now
say they detected the oder of burning
cotton or something of the kind during
the day Sunday and early in the night
before the fire was discovered.
The hose companies did good service
and but for their timely arrival the
damage would have been much greater
as neighboring houses were in great
jeopardy.

Patronize Home Institutions.
Complaint comes to this office not
infrequently that the practice of send
ing out of town for goods of all kinds
prevails in this community to an ex-
tent not consistent with proper devo-
ton to home interests, and to the prin-
ciple of live and let live. Our mer-
chants in all lines, groceries, dry goods,
clothing, boots and shoes, etc., carry
stocks away above the average for
towns of this size, and sell at prices
that are not unreasonable. More than
this they are tax payers in common
with the rest of US and do their full
share towards making town of which
we are all proud. Further, they are
reliable men, in buying Of whom you
take small chances, having the goods
before them, whereas, in sending to
the city in reply to advertisements, you
buy from sample, and are never sure
of satisfaction, when the goods arrive.
Besides all this, we are mutually de-
pendent on one another, and no i'm
agined small gain, should induce US to
adopt course, which if carried to it's
logical end, would ruin every enter
prise we have worked so hard to build
up. By supporting our home mer-
chants, we are doing justice to our own
interests as we'll as to theirs.

The Minstrels.

Johnson's Ministries played to a
small audience at Burwell Hall Satur-
day night. The first part was very
fine and the jokes and local hits were
greatly enjoyed. The slack wire per-
formance and the burlesque female i'm
presentations were perhaps the leading
features. The company was in hard
luck and the frequent references to
this by the comedians was undertood
by the audience who were in full SYM
pathy with the good natured, fine hui
mored actors. There were no pro-
grammes and we do not now recall the
names of the performers. There was
no clog and jig dancing and an absence
of much that naturally belongs to a
minstrel show. The performance was
"'cut' and at any other time and under
different circumstances the audience
would have felt that it had not been
fairly treated.

Murder Without Excuse.

Friday last, the End inst, in Warren
county, between Jones' Springs and the
residence of Mrs. Gen. Green, two white
men, strangers in that section, called at
a country store, kept by a negro named
John Williams, and asked for him. They
were informed by the clerk that Williams
had gone to Henderson to sell cotton
They then asked where they could spend
the night and were informed by the ne
gro clerk that Mr.. Jim Summerville was
the nearest white man who could enter
tain them, as few white people lived in
that section. They then asked which
road led to Henderson, and upon re-
ceiving the information left in the d.
rection of this place, and in a very short
time three pistol shots were heard from
up the road. Parties went at once to
investigate, and found that Ned Parker
had been shot in three places, one ball
passing through the abdomen with fatal
results. He lived about fifteen minutes,
just long enough to describe the men
who shot him, saying that he met them
in the road, and that without warning
or prOvOcatiOn shot him and then went
through his pockets, finding not even a
penny. 1t is thought that these men
believed Ned Parker was John Williams,
the owner OF the store, and thought they
would find money on his person, as they
had been informed that Williams had
gone TO Henderson on that day to sell
cotton. This is unquestionably the
most cold bloOded murder that ever oc-
Cured in Warren county.
Mr.. A. r. Workman saw and talked to
these murderers the same evening they
killed Ned Parker. Mr.. Workman was
returning from that section, and in pass
ing plantation owned by his fathers
estate, he came to a side path when his
horses shyed at something. He looked
ahead and saw two well dressed men
sitting on the ground. Being we'll ac-
Quainted III that section and knowing
them to be strangers he engaged them
in conversation, and finally asked who
they were and where they lived. One
rose up very nervously and excitedly,
and said they lived at Greystone and
were strangers in that neighbOrhood.
Mr. Workman then drove on, thinking
they were stOne-cutters, and were out on
frolic. They were we'll dressed, one
being of very fair complexion with a
light colored mustache, and wearing q
light colored overcoat. The other was
of dark complexion, black clothes and
overcoat with very dark beard about
two weeks old.
News has just reached US that these
men were arrested yesterday in Louis
burg, and will be taken back to Warren
for trial. 1t is to be hoped that they
are in the hands OF the law, and if
proven guilty, they may suffer the pen
atty of their crime.
The. murdered man is spoken OF by
those who know him to have been a
peaceable and good citizen OF his race
They reloaded their pistol over the body
of the dead man Us the cartridge shells
were found by his side.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
MANY years doctors pronounced it a local
disc Use; and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tiOnal cure on the market. 1t is taken in

offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
