Murder Near McMinnville.

Elex Earls was shot by Harris
Newby about ten miles from Nc
Minnville last Thursday. He
died shortly after being shot.
The trouble leading to the
tragedy is long standing and is
said to have originated over the
proper location of q fence be-
tween their properties. Earls,

erecting a fence, adding the
disputed territory to his place,
when Newly having heard of it,
armed himself with a double
barreled shot gun, loaded with
buckshot, went to where the
work was being done. An alterca'

Hanging at Winchester, May S.

Henry Judge and John Evans,
who, together with Joe Delp, will
be hanged j9 theFranklin County
jail on May 5, were taken to Win
chester from Nashville Saturday
morning by Mr.. Arrowsmith,
Marshal Of the Supreme Court,
and Deputy Marshal Taylor.
Delp, whose case was affirmed
by the Supreme Court, was re-
moved to Winchester soon after
the court had passed sentence on
him two or three weeks ago.
The crime for which Judge,
Evans and Delp are to suffer
was the murder in August, 1908,
of Simon Bucher and wife at
their home several miles from
Winchester. Delp, according to
his own confession, corroborated
by Evans, shot Bucher after he
he had induced him to go into q
field near his house. He shot
Bucher in the back with a double
| barreled shotgun, and Evans who
was seated on the porch talking
to Mrs. Bucher, shot her with a
pistol. She ran into the house,
and two more shots were
fired by the murderer. The
house was then set on
fire and the body of Mrs. Bucher
was eremated. The two men
thought that the wound received

Smallpox In Murfreesboro.

Miss Nellie Cassidy developed
a case of smallpox at Eagleville.
She was taken to the county pest
house with her mother. There
were a number of negro patients
there and no Accommodations what
ever and the driver was persuad-

home in Murfreesboro. After it
was learned a smallpox patient
had been brought home, a stam-
pede resulted. The health au-
thorities returned them to the
pesthouse. There has been con-
siderable adverse criticism of the
conducting of the pesthouse.

Such words of praise from a person
of such high standing must be accept
ed as unquestionable proof of the
superiority of Vinol.
Do you wonder that our Vinol has
such strong hold upon the esteem
of doctors and patients? We know of
nothing else that viii accomplish such
wonderful results; and, remember
Ninol is not a patent medicine.
There are hundreds of Old people in
this vicinity who need just such a
strength-maker and tissue-builder as
Ynol. Their blood is thin and slug
gish-Vinol will enrich and quicken
the blood and build UP the system. 1t
is so much better than whiskey and
strong stimulants. which always have
a bad after effect and weaken and
break down There is nothing in the
world so good for the weak, the aged
or the rundown system and to cure
hang-on cold or hacking cough as
Vnol, and because we know SO well
what it viii do we are always ready
to refund every cent paid US for it if
it fails to do what we say. Try it on
