News has reached here TO the
effect that Cyrus Davidson, near
Hardy, shot man last Friday
night, who was stealing cotton
from his pen. Who the man was
Il not~known, as he got away,
but there was blood on the ground
to show that the shot had taken
effect.
Arrangements are now being
made to bring "Wild Bill" Evans,
the great evangelist, to Evening
Shade for series of meetings
lasting ten days. 1t is expected
that the meeting will begin within
the next week or two. The services
will be held under the evangelist's
big tent, and there is little doubt
but that it will be crowded.
james G. Sims Of Lave Creek
township was in to see us Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Sims is SO years
old, and the other day picked
out 245 pounds of cotton. He
says he will shoot birds on the
wing with any man of his age in
the county. Modesty no doubt
kept him from saying any man in
the county, regardless of age,
for he would be pretty apt to
carry away the prize in such a
contest.

CHAMBERLAIN's COUGH REMEDY


CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.
No one who Is acquainted with its
god qualities can be surprised at
the great popularity of Chambers
laIn's Cough Remedy. 1t not only

permanently, but prevents these
diseases from resulting in pneu-
monia. 1t is also certain cure for
Group. Whooping cough is not
dangerous when tins remedy is Civ.
en-. 1t contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be CIV
en- as confidently to baby as to an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all these facts are taken into

that people in foreign lands as well
as at hons esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to
take any other after once having
used 1t. For sale by all druggists.

persons aboard the boat only seven es-
capped unhurt. OF the injured. one will
probably die. The force of the ex-
plosion was SO great that 1t shattered
windows and awakened the occupants
of houses in Louisville, four miles
from the scene.
Only three bodies have thus far been
recovered. those of Sherman Shibler,
Patrick White and J. C. Johnson. who
died in a hospital. The bodies of tho
other seven victims are thought to bo
pinned under the wreckage. and may
not be recovered for several days.
Three deck-hands reported as missing,
and thought to have swelled the num-
Der of dead to 13, were afterward
found in local hospitals.
No good explanation of the cause Of
the accident has been offered, and there
is little hope that the coroner's inquest,
which will be held Monday, will throw
any light on the matter The most
plausible theory is offered by some Of
the deck-hands, who suggest that there
may have been an excess of mud in tho
boilers.
