Gentlemen:I have used four

wish to state the blotches have

ter. Yours truly,
E. A. PETERSON,
25 College Terrace,

Mr.. Peterson made a practi-
cal move when he used S. S. S.
for his troubles, for only in
S. S. S. could he find purely
vegetable roots and herbs prop
erly blended and containing
lust those qualities his blood SO
badly needed to assist it in driv-
ing out the impurities and re-
building its vitality. AS these
facts apply to Mr.. Petersen,

M Charlton, native of Morgan county
and son of Judge George Charlton, for
mer probate judge of this county, who
was killed in 1870 by feudists. Judge
Charlton was shot down on the river
bank from ambush, and it is said that
the assassination was one of many that
resulted at that time, as the result of a
feud that grew out of the reconstruction
period. Shortly after his fathers death,
William M Charlton moved to Texas
and served for one term as county judge
of Kaufman county. He practiced law
for 80 years at Terrell and Dallas, Tex,
and was highly esteemed. He was Sc
years of age, and a. graduate of the Uni
versity of Virginia. There are many sur
viving relatives in this county.
Amarine Anderson, a 9-year-old negro
boy who seriously injured Charles Rice,
a playmate, when he filled the face and
the neck of the latter full of birdshot

of the juvenile court.
At the invitation of the Cullman

he will join Gen. W. w. Brandon Of

Cullman is one of the very close counties

Cotton continues to climb toward the
predicted 2O-cent mark, and today reached
it's highest level of the season here,
when it sold on the streets for 11A
cents per pound The local market is
probably the best in the state, the prices
paid being about 1s-cent above general
quotations.
The Tennessee river here reached the
lowest mark of several years, when to-
day it showed a gauge Of II feet. 1t is
expected that with the rains of last night
the stream will begin to rise.
The long drouth that has clutched

when a rainfall of 1a-inch was recorded.
This was sufficient to lay the dust, which

Selma. october 1s.-(Special.)- Much in
terest is being taken here in the trial
of Nathan Craig, charged with the MUIR

ago. The case came up In the city
court wednesday morning. Craig has
a good reputation in Hale county, where
he was raised. and since the crime with
which he is charged was committed. has
acquired considerable property. 1T IS
thought that the state will have difficulty
in securing conviction as many Of the
witnesses are dead or removed.
