Negro Women Fight
Two Negro women, Pearl Pat-
Jtcrson and Mary Martin, en
| gaged in a tierce combat at It!
| o’clock Wednesday night of last
| week while they were traveling
i along the road on their way
! home from a gathering of some
[sort about a mile below town,
j One of them became wrought up
jon account of a jealous suspicion
[ that a negro man of whom she
| was enamored thought more of
| the other than lie did of her, and
j made a vicious attack on her. A
j pistol and a pocket knife were
I used during the encounter.
I Pearl Patterson appeared to
j have been the aggressor. She
| pulled a pistol, but instead of
j trying to shoot Mary she used
I it as a club to beat her over the
I head. Mary defended herself by r
[pulling a pocket knife and cut
j tig three-or four severe gashes
| in Pearl's arm. The one who
I was hit over the head with the
pistol was considerably bruised
Roth the women were arrested
by Constable J. M. Read who
carried them to Paris.
Two complaints were lodged
against Pearl Patterson, one for
carrying a pistol and the other
for aggravated assault. No com-
plaint was filed against the wo
man who did the cutting and she
was released/as she appeared to
j have acted in self defense in us- |
[ing the knife. She was tried
jand fined $25.00 for affray and
|$1U0.00 for carrying a pistol.

Keep WeQ
Do not allow the
poisons of undigested
food to accumulate in
your bowels, where they
are absorbed into your
system. Indigestion, con-
stipation, headache, bad
blood, and numerous
other troubles are bound
to follow. Keep your
system clean, as thous-
ands of others do, by
taking an occasional dose
of the old, reliable, veg-
etable, family liver meal-
cine.
Thedford’8
Black-Draught
Mrs. W. F, Piclrle, of
Rising Fawn, Ga., writes:
“We have used Thed-
ford’s Black-Draught as
a family medicine. My
mother-in-law could not
take calomel as it seemed
too strong for her, so she
used Black-Draught as a
mild laxative ana liver
regulator... We use it
in the family and believe
it is the best medicine ter
the liver made.” Try it.
Insist on the genuine—
Thedford’s. 25c a pack-
age. E-75
m m sintuie
FOR NOT GILOKL
Starts your liver without making
you Bick and can not
salivate.
Every druggist in town—your
druggist and everybody’s druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone
is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
sults,” said a prominent local drug-
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug-
gist who sells it. A large Bottle
costs but a few cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money
back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling line;-no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. It doesn’t gripe or
cause inconvenience all the next
day like violent calomel.
Hungry?
There is no need to be as long
as you are in town. >A11 kinds of
short orders served, including
bacon, ham and eggs, steak, hot
cakes, Irish stew, chilli, pies,
cake and coffee. Everything is
neat and clean and we appreciate
your trade.
