Doctor Away from Home when Most Needed

pninted to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they most
need his services. Diseases like cramp
collie and cholera morbus require prompt
treatment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or physician summoned. The
right way is to keep at hand o bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar.
rh @a Remedy. No physician can pre-.
scribe better medicine for these dis
eases. BY having it In the house YOU
escape much pain and suffering and ali
risk. Buy it now; it may save life. For

We have never learned full particu-
lars in regard to the murder which we
reported last week. which happened on
Molls Creek, near this place, Dec. rs.
The correspondent called on the fami-
ly OF the murdered man this week, and
got few particulars. 1t was reported
to us this way: That on the evening OF
the 26th Robert Jessee went to the
home OF Johnson TO see his father on
some business, and upon leaving, told
Hop Johnson to come and 60 with him
to the home OF Henry Jessee, his
brother, and that they would have
good time. Johnson said alright.
Jessee was riding. and he went on
before. SO johnson and his nephew,
Charles Tickle, went on, and as lessee
had went before, he arrived at the
home OF his brother, and told him that
johnson and Tickle were coming there
to kill him. SO Henry Jessee was
standing in the door when johnson
arrived. Coley Fugate met Johnson in
the yard, and told him TO stop or
Jessee would kill him. johnson said
that they had nothing against him, and
he had nothing against them, so he
started on toward the house, and one
OF the Jessee boys shot him with shot
gun, killing him instantly. Some one OF
them shot Fugate in the leg. 1t is said
however, that Johnson left home with
his pistol emply, and when he was
found II was empty, so 1t Is supposed
johnson had never fired a shot. We
understand the lessee boys are both
in Lebanonljail.
We learn that our good friend, Rev.
Joe J. Porter, was married last week
at Castlewood to Miss Maggie Louis.
We learn at late hour that Rev. f.
a. Fuller baptized several persons at
Rings Chapel Sunday.
Fearing the waste basket we will
ring of.
