-~ YOUR BLOOD MADE NEW.

Your heart beats about sixty thousand times a day. Every drop of blood in your veins visits every part of your body about i've hundred times each twenty four hours. Is 1t any wonder that many troubles arise when the blood is not right?
 Is it hard to understand why health quickly returns when you take remedy like pr. Harters Iron Tonic, a remedy that purifes and enrlches the blood?
 1t does far more than that, because it is the perfect example of everything that tonic" stands for. But 1t would be a wonderful remedy if its power to make red, rich blood was its only property. It is far better than so-called hood pritiers is far better than so-called ole7d purifiers blood.
 It is not one of the crude forms of iron that iniuIeS the teeth alI stomach, but a delicate. harmless form that is almost instantly passed from the stomach to the blood. In the blood 1t battles against weakness and disease. and helped by the other ingredients of that famous remedy, helps each sluggish organ to do its full duty.
 If you have skin disease, rheumatism, stomach trouble. nervousness. or if you have any reason to believe that your blood IS disordered or that your health is running down. be just to yourself and try this remedy.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has for forty five years been made only by The pr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.

JACK EPPs KILLED.
Shot to Death by a Tennessee
 Deputy.

OSPONy'
 Athens. June 23.-(Speciai. .)-Jack Epps, better known In and about this section as Happy Jack" was shot and instantly Killed in the northern part of this county last night by a deputy sheriff of Giles County. Tennessee. who was watching for him to arrest him on a charge of disorderiy conduct in this place.
 He and his family dropped in this place last fall from the Indian Territory and they lived all winter under a sort of tent that was made of rags and blankets They existed on what the children could beg, until this spring, they were forced to work. The man and woman, were of a absolute char acter and were always fighting. He created a scene some time ago by try ing to commit suicide because some other man had won his wifes affection. He threw himself in front of train one morning just at day north of town and but for the watchfulness of the engineer he would have been killed. The train was stopped and the engineer and fireman got off the engine and went to where he lay and found that he was determined to commit suicide by allowing the train to pass over his body. They put him off the track and went back and mounted their engine, when he threw himself before the iron steed again and would not move. He was finally put aboard the train and carried to the next station where he was left in charge of trainmen.
 Epps recently had trouble in this place and a warrant was issued for him and he was making haste to get to Tennessee, but was headed off by the deputy sheriff of Giles County and In an effort to avoid arrest last night was shot and killed.
 He was well bred and well reared. A prominent business man of this place attended school with him in Bedford County in their younger days and says that Happy Jack was of prominent family in that county. He leaves a widow and a number of children.

ters to be decided by a joint confer ence.
 Colonel Bush addressed the ConveD- tion and pointed out that the old scale. which is 5 cents higher than the one proposed by the operators. had proven an expensive one for the operators.
 The scale presented by the miners makes 45 cents per ton the minimum nrice for mining with iron selling at $S per ton as at present and fixes no maximum, but calls fo- an advance ss 2 1-2 cents per ton in mining for every dollar raise in pig ircn above S9 per ton. It also calls for semi-monthly pay days and eight hours to constitute a days work, except for engineers, ma chinists and certain other classes for whom 1t shall be nine hours. Some other concessions are asked where coal veins are thin.
 The two scales were referred to a joint committee. who will seek to rec oncile differences and report back to the Convention Wednesday. Many be- lieve a compromise will be effected substantially on the basis of the exist ing scale. However. the operators, it Is stated. declare that they cannot grant anything over and above the present scale. particularly the eight hour day and two weeks pay day.
