FLORENCE NOTES.
FLORENCE, Nov. Z, 1916.

FLORENCE, Nov. Z, 1916.
On Monday about 2 p. M,
Mary Mike, living with her hus-
band, Tom Mike, and her mother.
Leah Higgenbotham, about half
a mile from this town, came, and
reported that her mother had
been killed during the forenoon.
Along about II a. m. Tom Mike
was seen at work in Mr.. R. M.
Laird's corn field. j, 0. Parker
son, the justice of the peace, at
once summoned a jury of six
men, to-wit: J. w. Taylor, j. H.
Singletary, J. B. Lowther, Jr.,
B. E. Therrell, S. j. Dear and r.
L. Berry to view the body at the
nome. DR.. E. K. White was
summoned to give physicians
testimony touching the manner
of the death of the woman. Upon
thorough investigation of the
case it was found that death was
caused by some blunt instrument,
supposed to be an axe, which
was found in the yard with blood
on it. The stroke was on the
back of the victims head and
must have caused instant death.
The dead woman's body was
found by the Jury sitting in a
rocking chair before the fire.
Every door of the house was
locked except the back door,
which was simply pulled t.. The
investigation showed that Tom
Mike was the slayer of the wom-
an. II is supposed that he
committed the murder for pur-
pose of robbing his mother-in-
law of some money she was
known to have. Mikes wife
took about $500 from her moth
er's bosom after the death. She
said she was told by her mother
that she feared Tom might kill
her some day for her money, and
she wanted Mary to get to her
body first and get the money
herself if she should be killed.
Mary had left the house early in
the morning to work for Mrs. r.
M. Laird, leaving Tom and ssher
mother alone at home and did
not return until about 2 p. M,
as stated at the beginning of this
story.

Every one in Choctaw, Clarke

as he has timbered on every
creek in these counties.
| am forty-one years old, and
have been on the rivers and
creeks in this section for the
past twenty years, and did not
think | would ever be sick, but
the bad water that a timberman
drinks told on me, and my old
time vigor finally left me, and |
suffered from the very worst
form of Malaria and had Indi-
gestion so bad that / would spit
up all the food that ] tried to eat,
and was also in General Run
Down Condition. The doctors
all told me that | would have to
take several months course Of
treatment, and that | might have
to go to Hot Springs before | got
rid of the Malaria, and then the
Indigestion and Stomach Trouble
would all leave me.
| had been taking different
treatments for some months, but
none of them did me any good,
was getting worse all the time,
the pains in my Stomach and
limbs were terrible, and after
seeing what Ferraline was doing
for my neighbors and friends |
finally decided to try one bottle,
and just as soon as | began TAX
ing this Wonderful Compound |
could feel the difference, the de-
pressed feeling that had all the
time disappeared and the sore
ness in my limbs has entirely
gone, am happy to say that |
have gained nine pounds in
weight since taking three bottles.
All of the raftsmen in my en-
ploy now use Ferraline in their
drinking water every day, and |
am pleased to tell you that not
one of them has lost a day since
they began the use of Ferraline,
for this Wonderful Compound
purifes all drinking water, kill
ing every germ in it, and | am
convinced that germ Of any
kind cannot exist where Ferra
line is applied.
Ferraline is a Household Rem
edy in this section, and you can
not find a home on the Tombig-
bee River that is without Ferra-
line, for in cases Of Cuts and
Burns and Acute Indigestion, it
has no equal, and it is the best
All Around Tonic on Earth. and
only hope that it will do for
others what it has done for me.
A trial will convince any one.
