DOCTOR SAID "UsE cUTIcURA"
In Bad Case of Eczema on Child
Disease Had Reached a Fearful
State-His Order Resulted
In Complete Cure.

when I was small wes troubled
with eczema for about three months.
1t was all over my face and covered
nearly all of my head. 1t reached
such a state that it was just a large
scab all over. and the pain and itching
were terrible. l doctored with an able
physician for some time and was then
advised by him to use the Cuticura
Remedies which l did and l was en-
tirely cured. l have not been bothered
with it since. l used Cutcura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment but do not
know exactly how much was used to
complete the cure. l can safely say
that Cuticura did lot for me. Miss

Albert McVay Fatally Shot.

While reading a paper in a front
room of his home. three miles south
of Pine Bluff on the Warren road.
Albert McVay, prominent cotton
dealer of jefferson county was shot
Sunday night about nine O'Clock by
an assassin, whose identity is I'M
known. The contents of a shotgun
were poured into his side and lodged
in the stomach.
McVay was aroused from his read
ing by the sound of footsteps on the
front porch. He was in the act OF
laying aside his paper when the shot
was fired and he fell at the feet OF
his wife, who was the only person
in the room with him at the time.
She raised the alarm The neighbors
in turn notified Sheriff c. Nj. Philpot,
, Unstable Stewart and the police de-
partment of Pine Bluff.
A neighbor of McVay's says that an
automobile drove to neck OF woods
about 800 yards from the McVay
home a few minutes before the shoot
ing, that 1t remained there until a
lew seconds after the shot was fired,
and then dashed away. l.. Is current
opinion that the automobile party
were concerned in the shooting, al
though there is nothing but circum-
stances to lend credence to the
theory

Ellsworth Acquitted.

The taking of evidence in the Tits
worth assault case closed at van
Buren, Saturday night, owing to the
weakness of the states evidence after
Miss Vadie Trout, the alleged victim
of the assault, had left the witness
stand. She was subjected to long
and rigid cross-examination by w. HI.
Neal, counsel for the defendant, and
it materially weakened her direct tes-
timony. The jury was out but very
short time when they returned with
a verdict of accpuital.
