John Webb. the condemned murderer Of
Anauias Hill. in whose behalf a petition
was circulated and extensively signed, ask

want his sentence commuted to life i'm
prisonment.
He says that he would rather hang than
be sent to the mines for life, and wants bis
attorneys to push the motion for a new
trial. Webb believes that he did right in
killing Hill and thinks if he gets another
trial he will be able TO convince a jury ac-

The probability is that Webb will finally
have to be sent to the insane asylum instead

ROZODORO.
FOR THE
COMPLEXION.

A lovely complexion is the first requisite of
beauty. Every lady cOvets such a complex
ion, for though she may have aparkling eyes
and regular features, If her skin has a bad
color or contains blem1SheS, the effect Is
spoiled.
Every lady who uses RoZodoro will be sure
of Il smooth, velvcty skin; a pure, clear,
lovely complexion, no odds how nan facial
blcmishes she had before using 1t.
Rozodoro is Il harmless liquid, clear as
water and delicately perfumed. 1t Is made
from q secret French formula, In use for over
one hundred years, which Is extraordinary
proof of its great merit. II is a sure remedy
for Tans, Freckles, Sunburn, Moth Patches,
Pimples, Liver-spots, Blackheads and other
| facial blemishes. A few applications will re-
move redness of the skin and lea' Q the COM
pleXlon a marvelously soft, natural white;
so n tural, indeed, that ladies with no facial
blemishes use Rozodoro in preference to pow
ders, paints, creams, washes and other CO.'S
metics, which soon fill mp the pores and ruin
the KIN.
An analysis of Rozodoro, made Is years ago,
shove that its q ingredients are harmless
and will not injure the most delicate skin.
DR.. c. ID. Fletcher, the famous San Francisco
physician, wrote, in 1879: There is nothing
In Rozodoro that will injure the most delicate
and sensitive skin. / therefore recommend
it. Ladies who use 1t will find 1t gives the
complexion a clear pure white, as natural as
a baby's skin.

THE STORM KING
Vents His Fury on JonesbOrO-Thc
Town Flooded.

lOWH flOOucu.
Tuesday evening, July 10, will long
be rendered by the peopleo Of Jonesboro
and vicinity.
The day had been one of alternate
sunshine and rain.
About . p. IN. a thick, heavy cloud
gathered over toward the river and
moved in the direction of E%mbreeville,
and was then seen to move toward this
town.
AS people stood watching the cloud
another was noticed coming from the
southwest. 1t was black and lower
ing.
At 5.45 the two clouds met over the
town.
Then the wind blew, the rain fell,
the floods descended, the lightning
flashed, the thunder roared, and for an
hour and a half Jonesboro experienced
her worst storm in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. The water came
down in sheets. 1t was impossible to
see across the street at one time.
In an incredible short time the creek
that runs through the town had chang
ed from a stream only a few inches
in depth to a surging, maddened tor
rent.
Down the alley by Mrs. James Dos
ser's residence q cataract poured, with
resistless force.
The creek soon overran its banks and
flooded the town.
About Z the rain let up a little, and
the waters began to assuage. About
10 p. m. the water was confined to the
creek.
Nearly everybody was separated from
their home or friends.
The water was 80 inches deep in
Geo. Squibb's stable. He knew what
was coming, however, and had moved
his stock. His garden was Quilted.
In S. H. Anderson's stable the water
was knee deep.
Butler and Davis saloons were
flooded.
Most of the cellars of the merchants
on Main street were full of water.
The water covered the steps leading
to Mrs. Cunningham 5 house and al
most reached the hall. The steps were
washed away and also the bridge cross.

The bridge leading to the old hotel
is destroyed.

buildings.
The wall and fence in front of the
First Presbyterian Church was carried
away. 1t had just been regretted.
No accidents have been reported.
The railroad track was washed away
for some distance in front of the cotton
factory, and the 7.2O train had to lay
there all night. The construction force
had the damage repaired by a little
after 9 a. m. next morning, at which
time travel was resumed. Both mails
were delayed Wednesday morning.
The storm center seems to have GOV.
cred only a small area No reports Of
damage in the country have come in

The morning dawned on a scene OF
d%esolation, fences gone and beautiful
gardens destroyed, trees blown down
mud everywhere.
The damage done has not been est
mated yet, but it will be large.
