obtained by the foresight of the

and she is often the bread winner of
the family. Whether She is sick or
well, whether it rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment,
perform the duties exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss Of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia E. Pinlzham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby f. Barrows, Jacksonville,
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham =

It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out helping hand and ex-
tends cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law of
Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record of
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,

A Peculiar Tragedy.

Dee Crist was killed by Chas.
Porter, in Phillips county. The
two men became involved in a
quarrel. Hot words were eX-
changed, and it is stated that
>Crist told Porter that he would
not talk to him that way if he
(Crist) was armed, whereupon
Porter pulled his pistol from his
pocket and handed it to him.
Crist then struck Porter over the
head with the pistol, and the
weapon was discharged. Porter
then knocked Crist down, took
the pistol away from him and
shot him through the side, killing
him instantly. A coroner's jury
was summoned by Coroner Penn,
and the jury exonorated Porter,
holding that he was justified in
the killing.

nominee for governor, spoke at
the court house to an audience
composed of 13 white republicans,
! 20 democrats and about 100 ne
groes. He said he proposed to
discuss living issues, and not
issues that were dead and buried
10 years ago. He denounced the
present state election laws, which
he declares are utterly unfair and
infamous. He also charged that
Judge Little, the democratic
nominee, had been unfair in his
discussion during the campaign,
and had misrepresented certain
matters, but said Judge Little
had been training so much with
jeff Davis lately that he had ac-
quired some of Davis bad habits,
Toward the close of the speech,
something of sensation was
occasioned by Circuit Clerk jeff
Sanderson calling the speaker to
book. Judge Worthington had
turned to Mr.. Sanderson, who
was seated in the audience, and
singing him out was about to

Sanderson said sharply: "Don't
talk to me; talk to your own color
over there" pointing to the negro
portion Of the audience. Sheriff
Sanderson, brother Of the clerk,
here interposed also and asked
the speaker to explain certain
statements he had made in the
speech, and considerable confus'
ion resulted. Judge Worthington
was at length permitted to pro-
ceed, but he brought his address
to q close soon after.
