State Constable Davenport shot
and killed Bill Williams, a negro, at

received it appears that the officer
attempted to search the negro’s
house for whiskey, and the negro and

Singleton Banks, white, charged
with murdering in a most horrible
manner his son-in-law, Smith Cock

he intended killing Cockrell. There
were no eye witnesses to the crime,
as the young man was shot after
dark at Ids home and no testimony
to connect Banks with the killing
Several members of Banks’ family
testified that when the shots were
fired, the defendant was sitting at
his supper table.

Wheat in some places looks pretty
well. An old experienced farmer once
said that for wheat while growing to
have a rich green color was not as
favorable a sign for a good crop as
for it to have a brownish green color.
Most of what we have seen has the
duck green color this season.

tend her in her sickness. Miss Brat
ton is a distant relative of Dr. J. Ru
fus Bratton, late of Yorkville. one of
the foremost and most noted sur
geons in the Confederate States army.
We have seen the day when the mere
mention of “Rufe” Bratton sent a
thrill of hope through the sick room
and inspired even the patients at
•b ath’s door to take new courage in
the battle for life.

Embroidery in all designs and na
terials is proposed for the coming
season.
Much of it has a touch of gold, as
have also the galloons and braids.
The girdle is in nearly all the new
costumes, although authorities in i«*
that : asques are certainly returning
to favor.
Although separate shirtwaists are
no longer considered as smart as a
waist made of the same material as
the skirt, still with the tailor suit any
cloth waist would be entirely too
warm for summer, so the shirt waist
still remains in vogue.
Lace and chiffon are now worked
in together so closely as to give the
appearance of one material and can
be made into a delightfully cool an 1
at the same time very effective waist.
On thin lawn and dainty waists,
lace tucks and shirrings seem to run
quite wild, each apparently vieing
for supremacy, and there is little
doubt that the shirt waist this sum
mer is to be quite as elaborate as the
waist of the handsomest afternoon
gowns.

Th»? marriage was a very quiet

The groom is the eldest son of Mr.

fications, and his affable manners
and g<*nial disposition have made him
very popular in his home city.

and is a young lady of the highest
culture and refinement. Sin* is hand-
soine in person ami modest and maid

disposition am! h<*r many aecomplish-

These popular young people start

Journey may b<* fraught with happi

Good Spirits.
Good spirits don’t all come from
Kentucky. Their main source is the
liver—and all the fine spirits ever
made in the Blue Grass State could
not remedy a bad liver or the hun-
ired-and-one ill effects it produces.
You can't have g*iod spirits and a bad
liver at the same time. Your liver
must be in fine condition if you would
feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous
and successful in your pursuits. You
can put your liver in fine condition
by using Green’s August Flower—the
gr**at«*st of all medicines for the liver
and stomach and a certain cure for
dyspepsia or indigestion. It has been
a favorite household remedy for over
thirty-five years. August Flower will
make your liver healthy and active
and thus insure you a liberal supply
of “good spirits.” Trial size, 2. r ic; reg

and Cherokee county of the superior
ity of Fe-no-pep-zone. He writes:

removes the cause of pain. Fe-no-pep-
zene is such a remedy. Of many
good remedies for headache which I
have triedFe-no-pep-zone is much the
best. It is pleasant to take. It Is a
••afe remedy even for a person of very
sensitive, nervous temperament. It Is
effectual for any headache that re
sults from loss of sleep, excitement,
weariness, or Indigestion, and It
leaves no bad effects behind It.”
