SELMA
A Little Child Kicked to Death By
 Mule

Selma, July -(Special)-There was horrible accident yesterday evening at the home of pr. w. W. Stuart who lives about nine miles from the city on the south side of the Alabama river.
 The doctor, coming in from driving, turned his pair of mules out to graze in little grove In front of his house. His little eighteen months old son was playing in the ward, and the doctor and his wife sat awhile on the front porch watching the lit tie fellow making mud pies. After awhile the parents went out to the back porch to eat a watermelon, and while thus engaged heard a noise as of a body falling. Mrs. Stuart called to her husband to run and see if the baby hadn't erawled up the steps and fallen from the porch. On going through the house to the front a horrible sight met the fond fathers gaze. Out under the trees, where only few minutes played his child now lay it's mangled body, the brains ooZing from wound in the fore head, inflicted by the cruel hoofs of one of his mules which had strayed through the gate to the front yard.
 The little fellow had evidently gone up to the animal, little thinking of the dan- ger, and had received the kick full in the forehead. Death resulted in a few min utes. The parents are distracted with grief at the accident and it was indeed Q shock that is hard to recover from.

Mrs. George W. Taylor of Eaton, Gib- son Co.,, Tenn, says: "I had had chronic diarrhea for six years. I tried every thing I could hear of and had consulted several physicians without avail. My husband bought me bottle of Pe-ru-na and began to improve at once. I can do anything ever could, and eat any thing without inconvenience; and when I say if it had not been for Pe-ru-na would now be in my grave, l do not think I exaggerate."
 Chronic diarrhna is nothing else than catarrh of the bowels.
 May Belle, New York stage beauty, says: "Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrhal affections, but if rightly used in time, will protect against them infallibly."
 The remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will euro it in all locations, if it be an internal remedy, operating through the system. Pe-ru-na is exact iy such a remedy. It is an internal specific for catarrh.
