FARMER BURIED; WIFE LIVES.
Captain Christian, Farmer’s Victim.
Also Laid to Rest

this afternoon it was stated that
Mrs. Victoria Farmer who was shot
by her husband, William Ellis
Farmer, at their home about 3 1-2
miles from Jonesboro at an early
hour Saturday.morning, was rest
ing easy. Members of the family
feel encouraged at her condition,
but the attending physician does
not hold out any hope.
Captain James Christian, the
aged father who was killed by his
son-in-law, and Ellis Farmer, who
did the shooting and then commit
ted suicide, were buried this after
noon about 2 o’clock in Mount
Zion church yard. The two fun

coming from miles around to be
present at the interment. Many
citizens of Jonesboro were among
those wlio.were present during the
services.
It is said that Farmer was buried
in such position that in the event
of the death of his wife she will
not be placed by his side.
Getting Ready for Veterans-
New Orleans, Feb. 26. —The
manner in which the largest carni
val crowd that ever came to this
city was handled shows that the
confederate veterans will have an
easy time as far as accommodations
are concerned here. The city was
literally packed with people and
not a murmur was heard about
either rooms or meals. There is
no place like New’ Orleans for tak
ing care of a crowd. The same in
formation bureau which was used
to assist in getting visitors located
at the carnival will be used for the
leuuioti.
Arrangements are being hurried
and reports indicate that every
thing is in good shape. Adjutant
General Mickle says that reports
from the 1,600 camps show that
the attendance will be very large
and the veterans are exceedingly
enthusiastic about the visit to New
Orleans. The reunion committee
has received information which
indicates that the general attend
ance will be tremendous.
General John B. Gordon,
mander-in-chief of the United Con
federate Veterans, has written to
General Mickle stating that bis
health is much better and he hopes
to be well by the time of the re
union. He is on a lecturing tour.
Proverbs
“ When the butter won’t
come put a penny in the
churn,’ 1 is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emul
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott’s Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott’s Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
"| We will send you
the penny, /. e., a
sample free.
Be sure that this picture in
the fcrm of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle ot
Emulsion you buy.

IF I HAD KNOWN.
If I had known in the morning
How wearily all the day.
The.words uukind
Would trouble my mind
I said when you went away,
I had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain,
But we vei “our own”
With look aud tone,
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may- give me the kiss of peace,
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart would cease,
How many go forth in the morning
That" never come home at night,
And hearts have broken
For harsh words spoken
That sorrow can ne’er set right.
We have careful thoughts for the
stranger
An l smiles for the coming gu st;
But oft for our own
The bitter tone,
Though we love “our own” the best;
Ah! lips with the curve impatient,
Ah! brow with that look ot Scorn,
‘Twere a cruel fatt,
Were the night too late
To undo the work of the morn.
—Margaret E. Sangster,

In a recent conversation the
writer was queried as to the
author of the following lines. At
the time she did not remember but
has since investigated and gives
below both the lines and the
author.
“They talk about a woman's sphere
as if it had a limit.
There's not a place in earth or
heaven,
There’s not a task to mankind
given,
There’s not a blessing or a woe,
There’s not a life, a death, a birth,
There’s not a feather's weight of
worth
Without a woman in it.’’
Kate Field.
All interest of the younger set
during the week past centered
around the party of Mr. James
Milam on Tuesday night and the
jolly dancing party given by Mr.
Hunter McConnell last Saturday
evening.
At the former affair cards and
other games were the diversion
provided by this popular young
host. The prizes falling to Misses
Lou’.ie Lumpkin and Annie Mil
ner. Delicious refreshments were
served at the close of this merry
evening.
The latter party was given by
Mr. McConnell in honor of his
schoolmate. Mr. Paulson, of Savan
nah. For this occasion, the lower
apartments of the McConnell home
were thrown together the highly
polished floors of which were ideal

From a large bowl in the hall,
Miss Marie Gilreath served fruit
punch.
In the dining room, at small
tables decked with huge bunches
of jonquils, the guests were served
a supper of three courses after
which a german was danced, led
oy Mr. James Milam and Mrs.
Felton Jones.
The young folks and the very
few older ones who were privileged
the pleasure of. this affair, pro
nounced it one of the very prettiest
parties they had attended in a long
time and that no more pleasant
entertainers could be fouud than
this genial young host and his
honoree.

people who can, through their

her table was spring like in its pro

sick woman * 3l
seeks the means of health she is often
like a woman blindfold. She has no
confidence. She cannot tell what her
effort will lead to. She turns now to
this side and then to the other in uncer
tainty and doubt.
The sick woman who uses Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription may do so with
absolute confidence. It invites open
eyed investigation. There need be no
hesitation in following the hundreds of
thousands of women who have found a
perfect cure for womanly ills in the use
of this medicine.
"Favorite Prescription” cures irregu
larity and dries weakening drains. It
heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness.
"With a heart full of gratitude to you for send
ing out over the land vour wonderful medicine I
send these few lines, hoping that some poor suf
fering women will try Dr. Pierce’s medicines,”
writes Mrs. Cora L. Root, of Greenspring Fur
nace, Washington Cos.. Maryland. "I had suf
fered severly from female weakness and had to
be in bed a great deal of the time. Had head
ache, backache, and pain in l*fl when lying
down. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prcription, and had not taken two bottles
whea I was able to be around again and do my
work with but little pain. Can now eat any
thing and it never harts me any more. Have
taken seven bottles of Dr. Fieroe’s Favorite Pre

Wash For Borers-
Walker County Messenger.
The following wash which is
said to be a sure cure and preventive
for peach boers, is furnished us by
W. C. Hendrix, who secured it
from A. M. Pinkham, Pres. Cor
dova Fruit Growers Union, West
Tampa, Fla.
“Take stone lime, slack and pre
pare as for whitewash; take enough
at a time to make a bucket two
thirds full of whitewashing; add
one pint of gas tar, one pound of
whale oil soap dissolved in hot
water (or one pound of potash:)
then add clay enough to make the
bucket full of the proper thick
ness to be applied with a brush.
Remove earth a little and apply to
body and down to crown root. It
destroys bark louse and makes the
tree clean and bright. Apply in
May usually. It will not hurt at
any time. It is said to be sure.”
Mr. Pinkham further says that
while it is best to apply it before
the borers get in their work every
year, if they are in now, get them
out and then apply the wash and
it will prevent their further work.
