COUGHED ALL NIGHT
Till This Recipe Was Tried. Cure Fol-
lowed In Hours.

A prominent medical man, who
suffered with a severe cough and
cold on the lungs. often being kept
awake all night, and weakened by
loss of sleep. finally discovered a
simple formula which will cure any
cough in five hours by the clock. It
is a laxative tonic cough syrup which
can be made at home by any one and
the formula is here given for the
benefit of those who pass sleepless
nights in painful paroxysms. Those
who have tried 1t say 1t is magical,
and beats any high-priced, slow-act-
ing cough medicine ever sold.
Mix in a bottle. one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol, and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Take twenty drops every half hour
for four hours. Then take one-half
to one teaspoonful three or four
times day. Give children less ac-
cording to age. This will tone up
and rid the system of deep-seated
coughs every time.

Accidentally Kills His Brother.

Clarence Williams, a ten-year-
Old colored boy, was shot and fat
ally injured by his older brother.
while hunting near Boyce last
Friday.
The older boy had the gun and
was passing through some under
growth, the younger boy being in
advance. The oldest boy stumbled
and fell, and the gun was dis
charged, the full load entering the
little boys leg just below the knee
and tearing it almost off.
The injured boy was taken home
and DR.. Robert T.. Randolph hur-
riedly summoned. He amputated
the limb, but it was impossible to
save the boys life. as he had lost
so much blood and suffered so
severely from the shock. He died
yesterday morning.
AS the shooting was purely ac-
cidental. there will be no prosecu-
ton.

Arm Broken by Belt.

Mr.. Geo. X. Chapman, one of
the most reliable employees of the
Berryville Milling Company, and
has had charge of their elevator
for some time, had his right arm
broken in three places last Monday
afternoon while "soaping" a pulley
at the elevator.
The machinery was running,
and Mr.. Chapman noticed that one
of the belts was slipping on the
pulley. and went up to place soap
on the surface OF the wheel to give
the belt better grip and prevent
slipping.
The rapidly-revolving beltcaught
his sleeve and jerked his arm over
the pulley, breaking it in three
places between the wrist and the
elbow, beside bruising him about
the body and decorating his face.
DR.. X. p. Page was summoned,
and found Mr.. Chapman suffering
great pain and shock, and at once
took him home, where the arm was
set and Opiates administered t.
relieve the intense suffering.
The patient Is now getting along
as well as can be expected, and il
l. hoped no complications will arise

The reptile was caught and pur in "a

with paper. The bucket was then put

converted into a cap-fire musket
Perfectly plain upon the top of the
barrel is the date 1850" with the
mark of the gunmaker. The stock
is of walnut, is brass-mounted, and
shows the effects of good care.
The gun was presented to DIR.

Clarke county, and Mr.. Lloyd
states that it has been in his family
for several generations and is gen.
orally believed to have been given
to one of his ancestors by Gen.

had used it.
A number of relic hunters have
approached DIR. Tucker for the
purpose of purchasing the old flint.
lock, but he has refused all offers
