 While 1t Is not known that there were any eye-witnesses to the shooting, Fred and Charlie Walker are given the credit for the deed, the alleged cause of the trouble being domestic discord. The Walker boys have fled.
 Fred Walker, Sr. father of Charlie and Fred, who are charged with the murder. was arrested this afternoon and brought to Anniston where he is In the Calhoun county Jail on a charge of being an &C., cessory before the fact Particulars garding the tragedy show the crime to have been a most fiendlsh one. It is said there had been some difficulty between the Walker boys and Johnson over girl they were going with, and Johnson had distanced Walker in the race.
 Jim Lilley the brother of the girl, was with Johnson when he was shot. He said he and Johnson were on their way home when they met the Walker boys, and it Is said Charlie remarked: "Oh, yes, I have you now; take thatv" and shot four times with pistol, but did not hit anyone.
 After shooting they returned home and both got shotguns and began shooting again. The first shot went wild but the second brought Johnson to the ground. Another shot was put in him after he hit the ground. it is said.
 Johnson was taken home and physi- clan was summoned, but he could do the patient no good, as the shot lodged in his lungs, stomach, thigh, face and eye.

A Cat Raising Family of Rabbits.

Clarence S. OSbourn, who lives west
of Shepherdstown, reports very curious
natural history story from his place, and
though he doesn't want to be claSsed asa
nature fakir, he is ready to make affidavit
of the truthfulness OF the statement. AT
Mr.. Osbourn's home are two cats. One
of them had four kittens all ofwhich died.
She went to the other cat, which had two
kittens, and carried one of them off and
adopted it. The second cat, with but one
kitten left, went into the orchard, where
in brush heap about hundred yards
from the house a mother rabbit had three
young ones about week old. The cat
took these three young rabbits to her own
place under porch, and there she is
playing the part of good mother to them.
They suckle her as they would their own
parent, and she shows every evidence Of
affection for her adopted children. Solar
they are thriving well, and Mr.. Osbourn
is anxious to see how this queer domestic
mix-up will result. Up to this time the
mother rabbit has not shown herself, and
probably mourns the loss of her children
as one of the inevitable troubles of the
wild folk.

Mr.. William F. Steese, 70l Coburn st.,
Akron, Ohio, writes:
az have been troubled for several
years with cafarrh of the stomach.
Have used different patent medicines
to no effect whatever, and have doc
tored considerable with family doctor.
"Sometimes his treatment would re-
lieve me for a few weeks, but would
eventually have to go back to him, and
that had kept up for several years.
az was advised TO use Peruna, and
have taken three bottles. Mover felt
so good in my life. Am going to con-
tinue using It. Wouldn't be with
ont it in the house. Twill gladly rec
orun1end Ii to any one afflicted with
catarrh Of stomach, or stomach trouble
OF any kind"
The above Is an oft-repeated story.
Troubled for years with chronic CO.
tarrh. Tried different remedies and
doctors to no avail. Peruna was adj
vised by friends. Instant relief expe-
rienced. Great gratitude 30 Peruns
expressed. This, in brief, is n story
that is repeated to US great many
times every year.
No one could be in touch with our
vast correspondence for one month
without being impressed with the sim
cerity and truthfulness of these kind OF
testimonials.
Peruna promptly produces an apPe-
lite, corrects digestion and relieves
stomach difficulties that have resisted
other treatment.

The Shepherd College Summer Normal.

The attention of all students and teachers
who anticipate taking the July teachers
examinations is called to the fact that the
next session OF the Shepherd College
Summer Normal will convene on June
18th. From present indications the en-
rollment for the work will be unusually
large. This unusual impetus in summer
normal work is due, in large measure, to
the wise provisions of the new school
law, which provides that teachers may
take all or a part of the subjects in any
examination. This provision makes the
summer normal an indispensable aid to
all those who are making thorough and
conscientious effort to qualify themselves
as teachers. Arrangements will also be
made to give instruction in other subjects,
provided sufficient number apply for
work. This will enable those whose
records show irregularities to straighten
I'D their course. All teachers who are
thinking of taking the July examination
will find this an excellent opportunity to
prepare for it. Don't forget the date,
June 18th.

WHICH, ID HOW SOuiiiS up hiSSiJJ anu was
of great benefit to the prospective hay
crop. The wheat is coming on splendid
". and there is every reason to hope for
a very large yield in this county. Wheat
in now in head and is standing thick and
straight and looks most flourishing. The
country is looking very beautiful just now
in every particular, and every prospect
pleases.
We greatly regret to report that our
friend James Lawrence McChan seriously
contempiates moving from Shepherds
town. He has been working for some
months with the bridge men at this place,
and he informs us that he intends to re-
main with the force when they have fin
ished their work here. Everybody in
town will miss him, especially as ne is
going to stay. We are sorry when he
goes away for good, for he always stays
several weeks. We hope he will not get
light-headed, for this will never do in the
bridge building business.
The potato bug is becoming numerous
again. and potato growers who had fondly
hoped that this pest had vanished for good
are in dismay. For several years past
the potato bugs, which were so numerous
here twenty or thirty years ago, were
diminishing in numbers and activity, and
the last couple of seasons were very
scarce II was believed that they had run
their course and given away to their nat
ural enemies. Now, however, they are
showing up in great numbers again, ana
the sprinkIing pot and Paris green VIII
have to be put in use once more.
