Theoro is nothting mioro discouraging than a chronie disorder of the stom ach, 1s it not surpt'ising that many suffer for years with such an allmeiit when a permaneont cure Is within their r'each and may be had for a trifle?

CORNELIUS EDWARDS CLEARF BY JURY (Continued from Page One.) tErnest then jumped out of the bushes and shot at Inc. I shot back. I pull ed the trigger again and it snapped. I shot five times. I ran 175 or 200 yards down the road and turned out into the woods." After leaving the scene of the kill ing Edwards testified to joining his brother and wife who were picking cotton some distance away and then going toward Barksdale station for treatment. To corroborate the story of the de fendant, several witnesses were put on the stand by the defense to describe the surroundings of the scene imme diately after the killing. Mr. Arthur Putnam, the employer of 'Cornelius Edwards, testified to going to the scene and finding gun wads and oth er evidences of the conflict. On the ground by the mule tracks he saw the impression made by the pants of Cor nelius Edwards when he was kneel ing, lie also testified to seeing the to. impre<'slons behind the Imnpres sbons of the knee. On the side of the wagon, he said he also saw indications of glancing shot, showing that they -had Leei fired from the rear of the wagon toward someone sitting in front. lie said he was struck with the fact at the time th at there were no marks of any kind on the trees or shrubbery on each side of the road, indicating that all of the shots must have been flrcd lengthwise of the road. Anticipating the story of the de fendan t, the state introduced several witinesmei who testified to hearing the 1;il shots from a distance and a num ber of these gave it as their impres sion that the shot gun was fired after several shots from the pistol, thus re futing the testimony of Edwards that the first shot was from the gun of Ern est Sharpe. John Sharpe, a relative of the deceased Sharpe boys, testified to finding bullets in the rear end of the Sharpe buggy and also on the back side of the single-tree, indicating that there were other shots from the pistol of Edwards than those which had effect in the body of his two as sailants. Evidently this testimony had little weight with the jury. In all there were about twenty-five witnesses put on the stand, the larger part of them to develop the motive of each side in bringing on the difficulty. Judge Hlowman charged the jury very explicitly on the indictment for murder, with a full exposition of the law as to self-defense, the plea of the defense. The case went to the jury shortly aflter twelve o'clock, 8 8 88888888888 888R 8 8 El)EN NOTES. 8 8 '1 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 S 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 Eden, March 11;.----There are several cases of measles in this comuinnity.
