The store is to be rebuilt. Mr..

he said he was to manage the store

On the night of Dec. cath. Christ
mas eve, while those in the settle
ment and neighborhood were sleeping
the slumbers OF the Just, the frame
building occupied by the Concord Me-
camille Co. was completely destroyed
by fire. No cause for the blaze could
be discovered. Several months pre-
vious when a stock company Of 20
well known men of that vicinity was
formed for the purpose Of establishin
this company they each received an
anonymous communication warnin
them that should they continue their
plans to build the store would event
ually be set on fire.
This warning was not needed and
six weeks before the blaze the store
room, 50x20 feet, was completed and
an elegant new stock Of general mer-
chandise installed. j.. W. Bailey,
who was born and raised in this Sec

ness and from the first 1t thrived,

FOUR MEN ARE DROWNED.
During Fierce Wind and Rain Storm
at Hickman, Ky.

Hickman, KY, July 9.-During a
terrific storm here this afternoon, four
men we're drowned in the Mississippi
river, the waves and wind capsizing
their skiff. ]. E. White, with seven
other men, pulled to the steamer Lib
erty to put man aboard, after which
they brought back two negroes from
the steamer, making nine in the beat.
They saw that they were caught in the
storm and threw their cargo of corn,
coal oil and groceries in the river, but
the high waves and wind capsized their
boat, turning the skiff over and over.
The men losing their hold, grabbed
each other, every stick and oar, and in
desperation, clinging to everything,
the six white men having desperate
fight to keep the negroes from holding
on to and drowning them.
George and Fred Wiseman, fisher
men, got to them as soon as they could
brave the waves and storm, but the
three negroes and one white man went
down before they could reach them.

A Positive Cure for Indigestion.

If you have indigestion, your food
ferments in the stomach and bowels. 1t
does more; it decays, and the nutritious
matter which should go to make new
blood decays with it, and this leads to
an impoverished condition of the blood,
to nervousness, billiousness, constipa-
ton, sick headache, bad breath which
disgusts your friends and other dis
agreeable and unpleasant conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest but ferments
and oftimes rots in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix
the food with the digestive juices.
MI-O-NA is responsible for tens of
thousands of cures. In fact it is such
positive cure for indigestion and all
stomach troubles, that it is guaranteed
by the Red Cross Drug Store to cure or
money back. The price of large box
of Mi-o-na tablets is so cents, and they
are sure to promptly relieve the worst
case of Indigestion or gastritis. Try
them.

The white man. MN Grow. was a GOOD

The white man, viii Grow, was a good
swimmer, but one of the negroes got a
death clutch around his neck and
never let go, taking him down with
him. When the skiff reached the sur
vivors they were nearly exhausted, and
about ready to give up.
The skiff capsized about one and a
half miles above town, and the men
fioated on down in front of the city's
business section before they were res
cued. Hundreds of people were watch
ing them from the shore, but were I'M
able to help them. Time after time the
men went down, but grabbed the skiff
and each other as they came up. j. E..
White, an old man, owner of the skiff /,
kept his presence of mind and tried to
reason with them, but the negroes lost
all reason.
The white men were J. E. White,
Clarence White, Charlie Dengon, sgd
ney Stockings and Harrel King, a boy
of Is. King is a fine swimmer, and
saved two of the men, grabbing them
as they went down. The white men
were farmers, living at Dorena, Mo-,
two miles from here. The negroes were
residents of Hickman.

BASIS OF TROUBLES.

The crime for which these men were
indicted and their trial furnishes one of
the most interesting chapters in criminal
history of this State. The convicted
men we're alleged to belong to band OF
Night Riders of the Reelfoot Lake dis
trict, organized to protect its members
in what they believed were inalienable
rights to fishing and hunting privileges
on Reelfoot Lake.
The lake was formed by the earth
ouakes of 1911 and 1912, and for years
it was regarded as public fishing and
hunting preserve, but in recent years
holders of grants covering not only SUR
rounding lands but those covered by
water also began to exercise what they
termed their legal rights. They coded
the hunting and fishing privileges to a
company, and the fishermen and hunt
ers were required to pay royalty on
their catch, and right in the differences
such State as this engendered caused
a series of troubles, including the burn
ing of the fish docks. the whipping of
various men of the region, eliminating

During the night band of from

and conducted them to point mile
away where they hung Capt. Rankin
and shot him to death. They assaulted
Col. Taylor and when he ran into a
slough or bayou, they, opened fire on
him, but he escaped death by hiding
