A Sad Death-

Sunday evening us George, the eight year old son of Will and Mattie Nash was playing in the yard with an open knife in his hand, lie started to run to Hie house, tripped iu the grass and fell, the knife blade entering his breast up to the handle and breaking off. Dr. Ristine was at once summoned and began probing for the broken blade but was unable to lind It. Tliis led to the belief that the blade was not in the body but had fallen o«t into the grass. The little sufferer continued to grow worse, being unconscious most of the time, and on Monday morning Drs. Ristino aud Ensminger again probed the wouud but were unable to discover the missing b.'ide. The little boy lingered until ten o'clock of the same day when his spirit left the body and went before its Maker. On Tuesday the physicians lieM a post mortem oil the body and found the blade had penetrated tho sternum and remained fixed in tho bone, The point of the blade had penetrated the right auricle of the heart and death ensued from exhaustion. Little George was a blight and promising hoy, an only child, and sympathy from every quarter is extended the'.bereaved pareuts. The funeral services occurred at the family residence on Wftat Wii/liw.K/Inn r. tl

MUST TOE THE MARK.

A Motion for a Continuance in tho Pettit Trial Over-ruled. last Wednesday, Oct. 8, was the day set by Judge Snyder, of the Montgomery circuit court, for the beginning of the celebrated case of Mr. Fred Pettit, on trial for his life for the supposed murder of bis wife, Mrs. Hattie Pettit, at Shawnee Mound. On Tuesday the attorneys for the defense appeared before his honor and asked that the case be continued until the next term of court on account of the absence of Mrs. Emeline Ford, of South Bend. In the motion for a continueance, the defense avered that that Mrs. Ford was the most intimate friend of the late Mrs. Pettit. That said defendant and wife had spent most of their married life at the home of Mrs. Ford that Mrs. Ford'was present at the time of Mrs. Pettit'B death, and had been a guest of the defendant and wife for several weeks prior to the death of Mrs. P. That if Mrs. Ford was present, she would contradict any evidence the State might introduce in regard to defendant's cruel treatment of his wife and the intimacy supposed to exist between Mrs, Whitehead and the defendant, and further, that Mrs. Ford would testify to the constant use of arsenic in the house for the extermination of rats by the late Mrs. Pettit, etc. That it was impossible for the lady to be present at the present term of court because she was at present in California for the benefit of her health, and the defense asked for the time with which to consult with the absent lady. Judge Snyder stated that he would give a ruling on the motion at five o'clock in the evening, but owing to sickness, he was unable to reach the court room until 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. He then stated that he would over-rule the motion for a continuence, but owing to his own illness, he would postpone the case until next Monday Oct. 13, when the great case will surely begin. At the assembling of court on Wednesday neaely 200 witnesses were present. The case promises to be along and

one and will be bitterly

contested. All the witnesses were notified to appear at the court house next Monday at 9 o'clock a. in.

EDITOR REVIKW: As a prelude to what I am going

Why don't the democrats 6top this everlasting "squeeling" nud go to work and counteract such schemes'? If the Republicans imporHO,000 blacks from North- Carolina why don't the opposition bring as many white voters from Kentucky

It is the only successful way to do, and tho Sage of Gramercy seems to have been the ouly Democrat who fully understood couuter-acting tacties and carried out his convictions. The writer has always believed it was a part of the republican program two years ago to have ti$ democrats "catch on" to the blocks-of-five Dudley letter publish it. and thereby give ir«t much free adverting, winch of course they dared not do themselves. It gave every floater notice to to look out for the "trusted man with the necessary funds."

The democrats will never succeed permanently until we adopt the plan of "dignified silence," and use counteracting influences, and the way to counteract is to counteract. Its a sad commentary on political methods but it is true.

Bay,

will remark that I am a free-trade-ad-valorem, system-of-taxatlon democrat always have been and will probably remain so, as I believe the property of this country ought to pay for its protection, and that a direct government tax should be levied on all property, both real anil personal and collected in the same way our county and state taxes are, with a homestead exemption of say $2,000 so as not to oppress Ihe poor.

The same program seems to be still adhered to by the democratic leaders in the conduct of the campaign, and of that I wish to speak hoping it may do some good, as 1 have nothing but the

beBt

of wiBhes for the party.

A great hue and cry Is being raised now as to the colonization scheme of the republicans, and no one doubts it of course who is conversant with the tricks of a party who have stolen everything from the Presidency to road supervisor. The republicans, as an answer to the charge, complacently remark: "It is a scheme of philanthropy, and what are you going to do about K."

That depends upon the Liver, for if the Liver is inactive the whole system is out of order—the breath is bad, digestion poor, head dull or aching, energy and hopefulness gone, the spirits are depressed, a heavy weight exists after eating, with general despondency and the blues. The Liver is the housekeeper of the health and a harmless, simple remedy that acts --v like Nature, does not constipate afterwards or require constant taking, does not interfere with.' business or pleasure during its use, makes Simmons Liver Regulator a medical perfection. I h^ve tested Its virtues personally, and know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Throbbing Headache, it is the best medicine the world ever saw. Have tried forty other remedies beforo Simmons Liver Regulator, and uono of them gave moro than temporary relief, but tho Regulator not only relieved but cured.

H, H. JONES, Macon, Ga

Hard On tho Minister.

The Lafayette Sunday Times in its issue of last Sm.daj speaking of the Pettit trial, has this to saj or one of the witnesses: "The most (ontemptable witness on the list will be the Rev, George W. Switzer, who has made himseif infamous in retailing to willing and unwilling ears, a confession said to have been made by Mrs. Whitehead to him —and he her pastor nnd spiritual adviser! The man who will betray the secrets of a woman, is a dirty dog, and if he goes onto the witness stand to do (his vile thing, tho jury should treat his evidence with contempt and not believe a word he utters. There are some things that a gentleman can not afford to do, even on the witness stand. The present Prince of Wales was some years ago called as awituess against a woman in a divorce case. He saved the woman, and the word went outover the civilized world, that the Prince of Wales committed perjury like a geutleman! And the civilized world applauded the Prince.'

If the Rev. (J.

Switzer goes onto the

witness stand and betrays Mrs. Whitehead, he shoald add I). D. to his Rev. title—"dirty dog!"

Mrs. Wilson Stout celebrated tier 80th birth-, day at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Peter Cowan, last Saturday. Mr. Stout is in his 84th year. The old couple were married 00 years last May.

A Family Jewel.
