CATARRH AND MALARIA.

People who are or have been
affected by catarrh are most sub
ject to chronic malaria. The eX-
PLANTATION is this: Malaria is a
germ disease. Germs find their
way into the blood through the
mucous membranes. If the mu-
cous membranes are healthy the
germs cannot enter the blood.
This is why some people do not get
malaria. But if the membranes
are affected by catarrh, even
slightly, the malarial germs find
easy access into the blood.
Pe-ru-na is the remedy. 1t not
only destroys malaria germs, but
restores the mucous membranes to
health, that no more germs can
find entrance. Pe-ru-na is the
most reliable remedy for chronic
malaria. 1t cures by Graduating
the germs from the system.

Ras. Matthews Fatally shot by John
T.. Tor~a

Yesterday afternoon Sheriff McNair
received q telephone message from
Wesson, summoniRg him to go to the
northern portion of the county near
Mt. Zion Church and arrest John T..
Fore, who, it was reported, had shot
and MORALLY wounded Ras. Matthews
in that locality. Deputy Sheriff Nc
Nair soon left for the scene of the
shooting and returned early this
morning bringing Fore with him. A
representative of THE LEADER saw
Mr.. Fore soon after his arrival, who
made in substance the following state
men: For some time the relations
between himself and Ras Matthews
had been strained and unpleasant.
Lately he had been told that Matthews
| had made threats to kill him, (Fore)
going so far as to say he intended to
60 to his house and shoot him down
in the presence of his wife and chill
! dren. Yesterday Fore was hauling
seed cotton from his cotton house to
the gin. The cotton house was stu
ated near the public road, and small
private road leads from the cotton
house into the main road. Following
behind wagon load of cotton, driven
by negro hand, and accompanied by
his nephew aud three of his little
sons, he says just as his wagon and
team were entering the main road,
Matthews, who was sitting in his
buggy in the main road; accost-
ed in him in an insulting tone.
Pore, who IL entirely blind in one eye
and can see but imperfectiy with the
other, soon recognized Matthews by
his voice. Matthews, he says, finally
denounced him as Il Id liar and
threw his right hand to bis hip pocket
when he (Fore) instantly drew 3S-
calibre double action Smith & Yves
son end began shooting. He fired /
chambers of his pistol in all. in quick
succession, swapping the NTH, and
Matthews sank down in his buggy
with bullet in the lungs and anoth-
er in the spine, either OF which has
been pronounced by the physicians as
mortal.
As stated above, Fore is nearly
blind and has wife and ten small
children. Ras. Matthews is broth
or of the late j. T., "Gaul" and Ed.
Matthews and is a man without fam
lily.
Fore, who for the present is con
fined in the county Jail, has employed
Hon. A. c. McNair as counsel and
his preliminary trial has been set to
come off before Justice Mcmillan Oh
next Monday.

The young married couple who are crown
ed with good health are really king and
queen. They are possessed of an armor that
enables them to withstand all the hardships
and misfortunes of life. Accidents aside,
they will live long, happy lives of mutual
helpfulness, and they viii be blessed with
amiable, healthy children. They will sit
together in the twilight of old age and look
back without regret over mutually happy,
helpful, useful, successful companionship.
There are thousands of young couples
every day who start welded life with but
one drawback one or the other, or both,
suffer from ill-health. There can be no true
welded happiness that is overshadowed by
the black cloud of physical suffering. The

neglect, he is suffering from i'll health,

ates and gives virility, strength and vigor.
