Last Saturday night E. B. Ward,
the white boy who drives the express
wagon, and one of those impudent
nlggers that lie around and live off
his wits, got into dispute at the
Gulf and Ship Island depot. Final
ly the negro cursed Ward when the
latter drew his pistol and opened
fire on the negro who made two hops
and a jump and was fifty yards
away. It is truly stated that that
Niger ran, that niger flew, that
ringer tore his pants into. The
bullets from Wards pistol went into
the ground near the negro and the
marshal arrested Ward for being
such a poor shot, or at least for
missing such a niger as this one
is reported to be.

A UNIQUE RECORD
Not Another Like it in Cur Froad
Republic

To give positive home testimony in every

but when add to this the continued endorse
mcnt from people who testified years ago no
evidence can be stronger A citizen of Belfast
gratefully acknowledges the good received from
Doan's Kidney Pills, and when time has tested
the cure we find the same hearty endorsement
with added enthusiasm and continued praise
Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills, and such a record is unique
i'll the annals of medicine.
Frederick s. johnson, proprietor of the grist
mill, Poor's Mills. says: at afforded me much
pleasure in the winter of 1897 to testify to the
great merits of Doan's Kidney Pills in our Bel
fast papers. 1t affords me still greater pleasure
now to say that my appreciation of that remedy
has increased with time. This cure for disorder
ed kidneys is like tried and trusted friend
thoroughly reliable. No promise is made for 1t
which is not fulfilled Before | took course of
the treatment, getting the remedy at Wilson's
drug store, Belfast, | had had trouble with the
action of the kidney secretions for two years
The aggravated attack was stopped and since
then they have stopped other attacks which if
continued might have led to graver resnlts.'
