Lee FnuIk is Shot to Death by Thad
Pennington.

Dothan, June ESPECIALLY This
morning just after day break Thad
Pennington killed Lee Faux, about
ten miles below here, near Cotton
wood.
1t seems that Pennington and Faulk
have not been on very good terms,
and this morning just after day, Pen
ningtons gin house was burned. He
discovered 1t on fire and ran up to
Faulk's house for him. Faulk and his
boys got up and went to the burning
house. When they got there PEN
nington remarked to Faulk. II guess
you are satisfied now. You have burn
ed my gin house" Pennington then
shot at Faux with a shot gun but
missed him. Faux shot at him twice
with a pistol but missed him both
times. Pennington shot again and
killed Faux instantly.
Several of Faulk's boys saw their
father killed. but they were all help
less. After Pennington killed him he
reloaded his gun and escaped.
Faux has been good citizen. but
of late years he has been drinking a
good deal. Pennington has always
| been heavy drinker.

Cures by New Method.
DR.. Hathaway, who has been curing
men for over 90 years. has never APP
proved of the use of mercury or potash
in the cure of blood poison. All other
physicians use It, whatever they may
say to the contrary, but DR.. Hathaway
has found a way out of the difficulty.
The use of mercury causes the teeth
to loosen and often to fall out, and pot
ash, destroys the stomach. BY DIR.
Hathaway's NEW SYSTEM of treat
ment. AMI which hundreds of cured pa
tients can prove, has no such disad-
vantages. is mild but thoroughly effec-
tive and cures without you scarcely
knowing that you are under treatment.
You experience no inconvenience what

work. the sores are controlled so that

friend know that you have the disease.
Furthermore. once cured by DR.. Hath

contract the disease. no matter how
you expose yourself to danger.

If you now have such a disease and
are finding difficulty getting 1t cured,
or If you are in doubt whether you have

him make an examination, for which

save yourself a world OF worry and

his charges the most reasonable, OF
any. He is always glad to make ar

II you live too far away to call, or for
