ALL DEAD BUT ONE.

Thomas Wicker, brother-in-lsw OF
Allen Z. Jones, the Rondo farmer
who fatally wounded his wife and two
children, crushing the skull of third
child and then put an end to his own
life, was in from the scene OF the late
tragedy and called at the DEMOCRAT
office this forenoon. He informs us
that, of oil the Jones family who fell
victims to an insane fathers terrible
phrensy, only one survives, the eldest
boy Grover, he alone, of me three
children, lives to tell of the awful
deed and it is extremely doubtful If
his young mind will ever fully grasp
the terrible details of the tragedy.
The survivor of this awful deed is
child of about six years of age, the
possessor of bright and well devel-
oped mind for one of his theder years.
While apparently as bright as ever,
the child's mind appears to be blank
concerning all events previous to the
nights tragedy, which in one short
hour robbed him of father, mother,
sister and brother. His recovery is
little short of the miraculous,
the wounds received by him crushed
his skull like an egg shell, so injuring
the brain that slight portions stuffed
off. There are few cases indeed Of
record in the surgical annals of the
country that form a parallel for this
wonderful recovery. The child is
now able to sit up and walks across
the room unaided. The physicians
in attendance upon the injured child
and to whose professional skill, aided
by the careful and unceasing ministra-
tions of their kind hands, is due the
preservation of his life, are Drs.
Spearman and Collum, of this city,
and Green, of Rondo. The child
readily recognizes articles of clothing
belonging to his mother and other
members of the family, and answers
ordinary questions intelligently, but
knows nothing of the tragedy, save
what he has heard since its occurrence,
and remembers nothing prior thereto.
The child's ultimate recovery is con-
fidentially anticipated.

Nature Demands a Tonic.

We ought never to forget, even
those of us who possess vigorous
health, that we are wearing out-that
the vital clock work, so to speak, must
eventually run down. This, of course,
we cannot prevent, because it is in
the ordinary course Of nature, but we
may retard the too speedy arrival OF
decay by the use of an invigorant
which takes rank of every other
namely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This century has not witnessed a
parallel in success to this famous
medicine which not only sustains
health by promoting vigor, but over
comes constipation, dyspepsia, chills
and fever nervousness, rheumatism
and other disordered conditions of the
system fostered by weakness and an
impoverished condition of the blood.
The feeble, persons convalcscing after
exhausting disease, and the aged, de-
rive infinite benefit from the use OF
this helpful and efficient tonic.
