War in Africa.

There was a lively fracas last Sat-
urday night between two colored men,
Noah Pierce and Jim Snyder, in Ray S
Addition, just east oftown. 1t appears
that Pierce had wantonly cut the tops
off of some growing potatoes that Sny-
der claimed, and quarrel resulted.
Each threatened the other with divers
dreadful things, and there was blood
in the air. Snyder finally got hick-
ory pick-handle, and with this formid-
able weapon he inflicted terrible pun
ishment upon Pierce. The latter's
shoulder was badly hurt, his nose was
broken and his forehead was laid wide
open. He was so badly hurt that it
was at first thought he would die, but
after laying unconscious for several
hours he was restored and repaired by
DR.. Banks, and will probably pull
through. Snyder disappeared after
he had placed his enemy hors du COM
bat, and has not been seen since.

says: Rev. Berry Lawson, Methodist
divine of this county. was shot and
instantly killed by his l5-year-old son,
Isham. The father whipped the boy
Sunday for some slight otfense, and he

turned home Tuesday morning, and,
finding his father in corn6eld, slipped
up behind him and blew his head from
his shoulders with a shotgun. The
boy escaped.

Weather Bureau Report Shows General
Improvement.
The crop report just issued by the
weather bureau shows a general i'm
prOvement in the prospect, owing to
abundant showers. Especially is this
the case in south Georgia, where the
rains were most abundant. The warm
nights are reported to have been of
great benefit to cotton.
There are no complaints of lice and
cut worms, which were badly damag-
ing corn, have almost disappeared.
Early oats and wheat are universally
good.
Sweet potato slips had been large
ly planted just in time to get the ben
eft Of the ram, and are doing well.
Pastures are very fine.
Berries are plentiful, but other
fruits will be only fair.
The watermelon crop will not be
large. The melons, as a rule, are not
doing we'll.
Spring oats are scarcely worth cut
ting.
The cane crop is not promising as a
rule.
The farmers are reported be we'll up
in their work. Their fields were gen
orally clean and in good shape to make
the most of the rains.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms by
machinery; the first to put up seeds in
little packages; the first to manufacture
cut nails.
Now they are out with method of
curing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. 1t supplies food in
an artifcially digested form and at the
same time aids the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. In other words,
by the use of Shaker Digestive Cordial
a dyspeptic virtually gets along without
the use of his stomach until it is restor-
ed to its natural strength AMI vigor. A
single 10 cent bottle will oft-times give
marked relief. Get bottle from your
druggist and try it.
