Just as The Age-Herald men were pre- pairing to frail down the fence with home runs, two-baggers and singles a deiuge of rain fell upon the diamond yesterday and the News was saved in the nick of time.
 Rain checks were issued to the multi tude assembled and the game will prob ably be played within the next thirty days.

LITTLE BABY BOY
Badly Afflicted with Eczema. Face Covered with Sores.
 Scratched Constantly.
CURED sYcUrIcURA

"My niece's little baby boy, two years old, was so badly afflicted with eczema that he needed constant watch ing. It was all over his face and he scratched the sores constantly. Morn- ings his clothes would be stained with blood, and his face and hands would be covered. His family never could take him out, as his face was always full of large sores. They had medical treat ment, and tried everything they heard of. She commenced using the Cuticura Remedies last spring and found that at last she had a wonderful healer. The sores left his face and he was entirely cured, and now his face Is as smooth and rosy as though no sore had ever been there to mar It."

Negro Tragedy.

On last Friday a negro named
Whitfield living on Mr.. Fleming S
farm killed a negro named Henry
Brock living on Mr.. Lees farm.
The cause of the trouble was
jealousy over a woman. Brock
made the attack and severely
beat Whitfield with stick before
he could defend himself, which
he did with a heavy iron he grab
bed from the fire place. He
wounded Brock so terribly that
he died a few hours later. Be
fore dying he stated to those
around him that he was to blame.
Judge Evans investigated the
killing and released Whitfield up
on the nominal bond to await the
action of the grand jury.
