There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

Shoot Two Cayce Negroes.

The homes of Leonard Williams
and Isaac Deering, two Cayce ne
groess, were shot into about $3.50
O'Clock Monday night by unknown
parties and both negroes slightly
wounded
Although the grand jury, in session
at Hickman, is said to have been
investigating the trouble, it is not
known exactly why the negrose were
thus dealt with. 1t is, however, re-
ported that one of the negroes ac-
cused Mrs. Jno. Lusk, a white lady
living near the Deering negro, of
stealing stove wool, and that his ac-
cusation was resented by the Cayce
people. The negro is also reported
to have received a note Saturday
evening warning him to leave Cayce
and evidently took too much time
in getting away.
The weapons used were shotguns.
The houses of both negroes were
shot into, and the negroes left the
next day.
The Deering negro was the most
severely injured, receiving several
shot in the right leg. .-...
No "nightrider" arrests have yet
been made.-Hickman Courier.

Killed By Burglar.

Clarksdale, Miss, Oct. 1O.-A. Fl.
Cage, cashier of the Planters Bank
of this city, was shot and killed by
a burglar in his home in this city
this morning. Mrs. Cage was hrst
aroused by the man in her bedroom
and called Mr.. Cage.
Mr.. Cage arose, unarmed, and con-
fronted the robber, who warned him
to keep his distance, and fired when
he refused. Mr.. Cage succeeded IN
graphing the man and in the scuffle
was pushed thru the bedroom door,
Mrs. Cage in the meantime having
fired two or three shots in an effort
to brighten the intruder who, ap-
parently, then began shooting at
random, several shots narrowly miss
ing Mrs. Cage.
The shot which caused Mr.. Cages
death was fired at close range, as his
body was powder burned and the
bullet which entered his right
breast penetrated the body. When
Mr.. Cage fell his wife dropped her
weapon and called to his slayer to
go to a front room of the house
where he would find an exit. The
burglar, however, went to a side
room, raised the window and screen,

Baptist Revival.

The Baptist revival closed out last
Sunday night. This meeting has con-
tinued for three weeks and has been one
OF the most successful ever held at the
Baptist Church. Unfortunately salts
factory arrangements could not be had
to bring about the tent meeting that
had been planned. When this could
not be had the people of the Baptist
Church and many of other denomina-
tions, together with some of no denom-
ination, asked the Baptist pastor, Rev.
II. H. Drake, to conduct the meeting.
This he did. 1t is always impossible to
take stock absolutely as the result of
revival, but the visible results to date
are as follows: Professions of faith, %;
baptisms, l3; approved for baptism, 7;
received by letter and statement, 9; and
besides this there are several more who
have signified that they are going to
unite shortly. Then there was gen
eral awakening among the saved peo-
pie of the town. We are constrained
to believe that Union City is better
town in which to live since this meet
ing. We believe that Christ has been
