RAN AWAY TUESDAY
And the Boy Has Not
Been Seen or Heard
From Since.

a coloreG woman, Eliza Fellows
living in the Watson field" came TO
the city yesterday and reported 20
the police that her little eight-year
old boy had been missing since Tues.
lay about noon.
The boy was grazing a COW on the
Hoileman road, just below The house
owned by DR.. Rogers, and while play
ing, the COW got into an adjoining
cotton field, and destroying some cot
ton belonging to a colored minister
About this time the minister came

which is not known, when the mother

says she offered to pay the minister
for the damage done his cotton.
The boy drove the COW to the house.
some two hundred yards away, and
started running in the direction az
The Southern railway. The mothers
attention was called to the boy by her
little daughter. and as she looked in
the direction of the railroad, she saw
the boy as he jumped down into the
railroad cut, and that is the last seen
or heard of him.
The Fellows woman says she had no
fears of the boy not returning by
night and went on with her work.

alarmed. Wednesday morning the boy
did rot come home, and all day the
woman and her two sons searched for
him, and kept it up yesterday, but
1t q late hour last night the boy had
not been found.
IT is the belief of the colored wo-
man that the boy was frightened in
some way the reason he ran away
but as he is SO small and knew no
where to go, she is in doubt as to
his fate. She does not know which

Stop! Look! Listen!

Such is the lay of the land in re-
gard TO parties approaching rail-
road crossing, and it is a wise thing
to do in many other matters. Are
you suffering with any blood disease?
DO youoneed a purifier of your blood,
or an alerative? Are you suffering
with cancer in its early stages? Do
you need a tonic or nervine to give
you good natural sleep? Are you
suffering with erysipelas, rheumatism,
eruptions, eczema. scrofuious affec-
tons, or any disease that comes from
impoverished or impure blood? Then
STOP
suffering with any of those diseases,
Do you want to know how you can be
cured? Are you not willing to put
yourself to a little trouble to aScer-
tain if you can be cured? How do
you ascertain the truth of anything
in which you are interested? Do you
not look to and weigh the evidence
In regard to it? Then
LOOK
to the evidence. which can be easily
obtained. that Mrs. Joe Persons Rem
edy will cure all diseases for which 1T
is recommended. All you have to do
is to write to Mrs. Joe Person. Char
lotte. North Carolina. to send you the
evidence of the truth as to what she
claims for her Remedy. The evil
dence is overwhelming. The cures she
has made are wonderful. but they can
be substantiated beyond controversy.
Hundreds of persons have been cured
in her own State and county and
neighborhood. These are persons or
the highest standing and character,
whose statements cannot be doubted.
LISTEN
then to the dictates of your own COM
mon senses and write at once. Ii hu-
man testimony can establish any fact,
then the testimony that will be fur
nished you will establish the fact that
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy will cure
the diseases for which it is recon-
mended. Your health, your happl-
