C. Bell, of Indiantown, narrowly escaped being killed while riding on horseback last Thursday morning. The horse ran away and unseated the little t lellow, and his spur catching in the bridle rein caused him to be dragged about a quarter of a mile | over the frozen ground.

A. M. McCall, ot Florence, is visiting friends in town. For mean, lowdown wanton cruelty an<l cold blooded "cussed^ ness" the killing of Air. M. F Hellers mule Monday night beats anything we ever heard of. Some time during the night the miscreant entered the stable by the back door and stabbed an innocent and unollending muie, cutting the jugular vein. The spirit prompting such an act is the same that would cause an assassin te steal ' up behind a man in the dark and stab him in the back. Whether it be that a spirit of lawlessness stalks abroad at Christmas time, or that the over indulgence in "nose paint" makes men reckless of both themselves and the law, we have heard of more misdemeanors in the last few days than at any time during the year. Que of the most daring of these offenses was the breaking of Mr. H. D. Reddick's front window Monday night. The night watchman was on duty and heard the noise ot the breaking glass, but when he reached the spot the deed was done and the malefactor had escaped. The plate glass broken is about a quarter ot an inch thick and is very expensive. The value ot the cotton and cot tonseed crop of the southern states last year was $545,000,000. SAVED HIS LIFE. "I wish to say that I feel I owe my life to Kock>! Dyspepsia Cure," writes I II C Chrestcnson, or Hnyneiu, Minn., 'For three years I vras! troubled with dyspepsia so that I could hold nothing on my stomach. Many times I would be unable to retain a morsel of food. Finally I was confined to my bed. Doctors said I could not live. I read one of your advertisements on Kotlol Dyspepsia Cure and thought it fit ray case and commenced its use. I began to improve from the first bottle. Now Now I am cured and reeomend it to all." Digests yo?r food. Cures all stomach troubles. Drs. D. C. Scott Scott anil W. V. Brockington, The only tiling in the world that ia woman can scorn and yet love is man. i AN EVANGELIST'S STORY. ; "I suffered for years with a Kronchilalor lung trouble and tried various remedies but did not obtain permanent , relief until I commenced using One! MinnteCoug hCnre," writes Rev.James Kirkman, evangelist of Belle River.Ill. , "I have no hesitation in recommending ; it t<? all sufferers from maladies of this ( kind." One Minute Cough Cure affords immediate relief for coughs, colds ard , all threat anp long troubles. For croon , it is nnequalled. Absolutely safe. Very ! pleasant to cake, never falls and is real ly a favorite with the children. Thev i like it. Drs. D. C. Scott and W. V. i Brockington.

Unless nature's refuse j israrried off It will surely cause im! pure blood. Pimples, boils and other , eruptions follow. This Is nature's i method of throwing off the poisons which the bowels failed to remove. j DeWittV Little bariy msers are woriu : famous for remedying this condition. They stimulate the liver and promote | regular ami healthy action of the bowels but never cause griping, cramps or 'or distress. Safe pills. Drs. D C. Scott and W. V. Brockington.

The delay in getting the telephone central in working order has occasioned some rigorous , "kicking," especially from the ( country lines. On behalf of the directors we renture a word of < explanation. A negro, one Dau , Koberson. who professed to be a | pa6t master in the art of telephony, undertook the work of putting in the switch board and connecting ( the wires so as to form the ceo- 1 tral office.
