A SAD THANKSGIVING DAY TRAGEDY

A SAD THANKSGIVING DAY TRAGEDY.
 We sometimes fail to realize how slender is life or how sudden death will sometimes call, ill we are foEcibly reminded of the fact by Sucn a fatal accident as occurred on the hiIl above sherman Cng5Wrll' on Thursday of last week. John Johnson, cnIplDtc of Fred Straight (two miles vest, was driving down New Preston Hill with Miss Amanda Anderson, an cmployc at Io- scph WatSons 5 in NlrDlcIalc. We fail as yet to learn just what occurred. Johnson has said that his hat blew off near the residence of the late Charles CugSWcll, and after getting it and re- turning to the buggy, he had stepped in, but the horse jumpeI before he was seated and he was flung out: but JUnnSUn'S mental condition since the accident has been such that Somc, doubt remains if he now remembers correctly. He was found, ScnSclrSS and severely bruised and cut on face and hcld. by the stone wall in turn of road 90 rods lDOvc sherman COgSWCll'S s. about 7.}O of that evening, but before he was found the horse and buggy had been discovered by Howard CogsWcll.
 search was made and Nils, Anderson Was found near sherman CuEsWcll $ yard She was immediately carried into Mr CugsWcll's, WHcre Mrs II. C. CogSwcll. having been d trained nurse, and the other lady members of the family set to work to revive her ami | medical aid was sought by Howard CogSWcll. While he was gone Shcr- man CoySWeIl decided to look further up the hill and ascertain if anyone else had been with Miss Anderson and then it was that Mr Johnson was
 discovered. AS soon as help sufficient arrived he was also borne to Mr COgs- wells. where before this time it had
 been decided Miss Anderson was dy- ing. She lived scarcely half an hour after being carried into the house. RcstOrativcS were applied tp Mr John son and all possible for DTS Marcy and Abbot to dn was done Go revive him 20 that hr coill.l give any atcUNnt of the accident, but of no avail that night.

Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually
the result of a torpid liver or ir-
regular action of the bowels. I'M
less natures refuse is carried
off it will surely cause impure
blood. Pimples, boils and other
eruptions follow. This is nature's S
method of throwing off the poi
sons which the bowels failed to
remove. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers are world famous for rem
edying this condition. They
stimulate the liver and promote
regular and healthy action of the
bowels but never cause gripping,
cramps or distress. Safe pills.

the middle of her sermon and
picking up a bible exclaimed:
''There is a man in this house
who has been unfaithful to his
wife. know the cur. I'm going
to throw this Bible at him." She
was good actress, and when she
raised the book, every person in
the audience thought she was
really going to throw it, and ev-
cry man in the house, but one,
ducked his head to avoid the
missile. Then the evangelist ev-
erlastingly 1ambasted the dod-

It was afterwards learned that he
was deaf and dumb and that his
wife had but recently secured a
divorce on the grounds of infidel-
