that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

Fatal Accident.

Washington, N. c., Dec. 4, 1909.
The many friends Of Rev. J. H.
Jarvis formerly Pastor of the Naha-
lah and Scotland Neck Presbyterian
Churches will be grieved to learn of
the loss of his oldest son, Bennie.
Two weeks ago last Tuesday Ben
ME was out with his father squirrel
hunting in Hyde Co. In passing
through the woods, the hammer of
his gun became entangled in some
way, causing the gun to fire.
The charge entered his under arm
near the shoulder, and so shattered
the arm that amputation was neces-
sary. He was brought to a Wash
ington, N. C. hospital where the op-
Grafton was performed. Lock jaw
resulted and the bright boy who was
a Candidate for the Gospel Ministry
yielded up his young life to the grim
destroyer death on last Tuesday.
The interment was in the Washing
ton Cemetery.
Surely the tenderest sympathy of
all their friends will be extended in
this sad aff1iction.
