Miss Lydia Entsminger Died
on Monday Night
Miss Lydia Entsminger, the
young lady who was shot by
Grover Ford on Sunday night
June 25th, near Denmark, died
Monday night after a month of
intense suffering. The funeral
took place this morning at ii
O'Clock from Kerr's Creek church.
conducted by Rev. DR.. d. A..
Penick, and interment was made
in the cemetery at New Monmouth
Presbyterian church.
The services were attended bv
large crowd, whose sympathies
went OUT for the unfortunate girl
and her stricken family. She was
in her fifteenth year and was the
daughter of Mr.. Charles H. Ents-
minger.
The history of the crime is fresh
in the minds of all our readers.
Miss Entsminger attended the
Kerr's Creek church that fateful
Sunday night with Charles Cash.
Rev. P. H. Cowherd, a Baptist
minister, preached. After the
service, as Miss Entsminger and
her companion were returning to
her home, Grover Ford, awould. be
sutton, enraged by jealousy and
crazed by drink, surprised the
couple by opening fire on them,
resulting In the killing of young
Cash and the fatal wounding Of |
Miss Entsminger. Ford made
his escape and his whereabouts
are still unknown, although re-
ward of 5000 is OF his head.
Mr.. Cash died the following
morning. Miss Entsminger was
operated on by eminent surgeons
on July 10th, but very little hope
was entertained for her recovery.
FROM the time of the shooting she
lost the use of her lower limbs.
Her suferings were prolonged and
Intense and before death came to
her relief she said she endured
agOnies of torture.

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather o
the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary TO give the child dose Of cas-
tor oil to correct any disorder OF the
bowels. DO not use any substitute, but
give the oldfashioned castor oil, and see
that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and
has a tendency to grippe. If this does
not check the bowels give Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
aud then dose Of castor oil, and the
disease may be checked in IFS incipiency
and sill danger avoided. The castor oil
and this remedy should be procured at
once and kept ready for instant use as
soon as the first indication OF any bowel
trouole appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
in case of cholera iniantum. For sale

The BaIdheaded Eagle.

The staid, dignifed and homely bald
headed eagle, the glorious emblem OF
the American republic, mates but once
and lives with his one mate until he or
she dies. If left a wldower-even a
Young wldower-th baldheaded eagle
never mates again. He remains alone
and disconsolate in the nest on the
rocky crag or in the branches OF tall
pine that formed his domicile while his
mate was alive. No other female eagle
can tempt him to forsake his d!scon-
ISOLATE life.
