H. O. Swett, a tenant on Mr. J. W. Ashley's plantation, was accidentally shot and killed. Sunday morning by A-more pitiful sight than a mother and her child, both captives and shackled in a dungeon, could not well bc imagined. There are thousands of mothers and their babes who lie shackled by disease in the dungeon of death. Without knowing it, or having the faint est comprehension of it, the fault lies with the mother. ? Too many wqmen enter upon the responsibilities of wifehood and moth erhood while suffering from weakness and disease of the delicate and important or gans th?t make wifehood and motherhood possible. . A woman who suffers in this way cannot be a capable wife aud a competent mother. Before-entering upon the'duties and responsibilities of these positions, she should see to it that Tier health, both gen eral and local, is thoroughly restored. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for this purpose. It acts, directly on the sensitive organs concerned, making them strong, healthy and vigorous. It: promotes regularity' of the fonctions, allays irritation and .inflammation, heals ulceration, checks unnatural aud exhaust ing drains and soothes pain, lt tones and builds up the shattered nerves: It turns tile dangers and pains of maternity into safety and ease. It is a medicine that is intended fof this one purpose only and is .good.for no other. Dealers sell it and no honest dealer will suggest a substitute. .'Ur.

Johu M aga ha. A crowd ot' both whites and bia; ks hud assembled in au out house ou Mr. Ashley's plantation and were throwing dice. Sw ott demanded money from a negro who had borrowed from him that morning. The negro re fused to pay. and .Swelt raised an axe and threatened to kill him if he did not pay. At this point Mahalia appeared on the scene, drew his pistol and threatened to brain the negro with it. Swett asked Mahalia to let him have the pistol and reached out and grubbed it.

Climbing into the wa iron he quietly waited for some of the family to bring his clot bea und shoes, dressed himself, and ordered the negro to drive to the city and thence to jail.
