Claude Ellis, anothor ?oung white mao whoso home is at ?cn vcr, was also shot, but his wound is not Horious. The story of tho shooting, as could be gathered last night, is a rather compli cated one. Solosboe, it appears, got in a quarrel with a young man named Ham mond about a pocket knife. SoleBbee had Hammond's knife and would not givo it back to him. Lonnie Ellis took [lammond's sido in tho quarrel and un dertook to mako Solesbee return the knife. It seems that he took Hammond's pistol and started a quarrel of his own with Solcsbco. Then Claude Ellis, younger brother of Lonnie's, came in and tried to separate his brother and Soles bee. Lonnie Ellis drew bis pistol and fired. Solcsbco ducked and the ball struck Claude Ellis in the thigh, passing en t i roly through the log and inllioting a j painful flesh wound. Lonnie Ellis fired again, and this time the ball struck Solesbee in the breast just under the heart, inflicting a wound whioh it is thought will prove fatal. Dr. J. O. Sandors was calling on a patient noarby aud was summoned and gave all thc attention possible. Solesbee was st ill living at a late hour last night, but | tho chances for his recovery were con sidered very slight. Ho was at his home at tho Twine Mill village. Ellis walked to a house noarby, and his j wound wa? also dressed by Dr. Sandors, but, as stated, ho was not soriously hurt. Lonnie Ellis fled immediately after the shooting and had not been hoard from up to midnight. Deputy Sheriff Km or-1 son reached tho scene of tho shooting ; soon aftor tho occurrence.

E. BONE FOOD v Soft and crooked bones mean | bad feeding. Call the disease rickets if you want to. The growing child must eat the right food for growth. Bones must have bone food, blood must have blood food and so on through the list. Scott's Emulsion is the right treatment for soft bones in children. Little doses everyday give the stiffness and shape that healthy bones should have. Bow legs become straighter, loose joints grow stronger and firmness comes to the soft heads. Wrong food caused the trouble. Right food will cure it. In thousands of cases Scott's Emulsion has proven to be the right food for soft bones in childhood.

Pieper, Walhalla, Dear Slr: E/oryherybody oonsiders painting a necessary nuisance, and yon aro probably no exception. You can't abolish it altogether; but you can make it nome halt as often, and cost only two-thirds SH much each time, and have your honse look better alt the t Imo. Everybody knows that the seashore is bard on paint. The Farrington resi dence at Rockland, Maine, a sea-coast town, was painted with Devoe seventeen years ago. The house has never been repainted, and seems to be well painted yet If you want to take the trouble to bo convinced, we can send you a' hundred other instances; but none so striking as this. This is not all. Devoe Lead and Zino hot only wears longer, but it paints more square feet to the gallon than any other paint-especially mixed paints. It is the "Fewer gallons; wears longer" paint. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., New York. P. 8.-O. W. Gignilliat sells our paint mom Orang? Notloo, No. 241. By order of the W. O.
