HORRIBLY MINGLED

Cordova, January 16.-(Special )-George Seeman, the 1i-year-old son of Theodore Seeman. this place, was run over and horribly mangled by Frisco freight train here about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
 All that is certain about the manner in which the lad was killed is that the boy and companion were walking along the railroad along slight embankment close to the siding, out of which the engine with several cars and a caboose were backing and either slipped from the banl, or made an effort to board the train. fall ing under the cars.
 His companion states young Seeman slipped from the bank and was struck by the train. Some think from the inaccessi- bility of their position and the nearness of the moving train that they probably made an attempt to board the cars. The fireman saw the boys near the train be- fore the engine neared them but had not noticed them again until he heard the other boy scream.
 The engineer was on the opposite sice and the rest of the crew were in the caboose at the rear, the only eye witness tn the actual fall being the companion.
 The boys had perhaps been hunting as
 4a carried a gun, while several shells
 ere found in young Seeman's pockets, W Theodore Seeman is a very fine musi- ri. the leader of the Cordova brass band ana also of q local orchestra.

The minute the stomach ceases to per- form its functions properly the whole body .egins to suffer. The food is only half digested. the body only half nour- iehed. And the undigested portion of the food ferments and decays, generating nauseating gases which derange the whole system. The eventual result IS chronic dyspepsia. heartburn, bad breath, dizziness. fatulency and sick headache.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets instantly re- lieve all ailments of the stomach and di- gostive tract. They act quickly, safely and naturally-just like Nature herself. They contain in themselves the elements which go to make up the natural gastric juices. They actually digest the food, re- lieving the stomach of all the hard work. ] Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the stand by of many a doctor in the worst cases of stomach trouble, and they never fail him.

TRAGIC DEATH OF
 MIR. EMMETT HALL
Pistol Under Pillow Discharged Ac- cidentally, Sending Bullet Through
 Head in Florence

Courtland. January 16.-(Special)-Mr Emmett Hall, for many years citizen of this place, was buried here yesterday Mir. Hall came to his death at Florence in tragic manner. At first it was thought that he shielded, but later devei- opments tend to show that his end was the result of an accident. He was sleep ing with a pistol under his pillow and in some unaccountable manner the weapon was discharged, shooting him through the head.
 The fact that the pistol ball passed through the pillow before entering MT. Halls head is proof conclusive that the shot was not fired with suicidal intent, tut rather the result of an accident. MT. Hall was once night police captain at Decatur and later assistant postmaster of Florence. His wife was Miss Couch Of IIillsboro.
 County candidates are coming out rap idly. There are now six candidates for the office of tax collector. announced with more to hear from.

 The cotton crop in this section for last year was the poorest that has beer known for the last 20 years. Within a radius of five miles around Courtland the crop will not amount to more thar one-third Of an average crop. This con- dition was brought about by the army worm and continuous rains in August The acreage will be much smaller an ether year.
