A Horrible Killing At Til!ePy.

News comes of horrible tragedy
at Tillery last Friday night in which
a negro, Cicero Knight, shot and
instantly killed 0. L. Holt, q young
white man about 20 years of age from
Fayetteville, N. C.
Young Holt and the negro were
both employed on work train of
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, and
on the day of the killing Holt had
been left in charge. of the crew. He
had some difficulty with the negro
and discharged him. When the cap
tam OF the crew returned that even
ing he refused to reinstate the negro,
who remarked as he went away that
he would get even with Holt.
That night after Holt had received
a pass from the railroad company, he
began to make preparations to go
on a visit to his home people in
Fayetteville and was on his way to
where his Washer-woman lived to get
his clothes when the fatal shot was
fired.
The negro, in the meantime, had
borrowed a shot gun and started in
pursuit.
The negro Washer-w0nan, learning
that Holt had gone for his clothes,
also started towards her home when
she saw Knight coming behind her
and discerning his purpose shouted
to Holt to run. But just as he look
ed around the negro fired, the load
tearing off a part Of the negro
Woman's hat and entered the side OF
the young mans head killing him
instantly.
The officers have made diligent
search for Knight but up to this
time they have been unable to learn
Of his whereabouts. It is reported
here that the young men of Tillery
have offered reward of fifty dollars
for his capture.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
intiamed condition of the mucous sur
