CRAZED BY LIQUOR
Ellis Farmer Slays Father-In-
Law, Wounds Wife and Then
Kills Himself.
Crazed by drink and enraged be 1
cause his wife had threatened to quit
his home because of past brutal treat-
melt, Ellis Farmer, deputy sheriff of
Clayton county, Ga., went to his home
Saturday morning at 1 o’clock and
shot his wife through the lung, inflict
ing a dangerous wound.
He turned the smoking revolver
upon his wife’s aged father, James
Christian, and blew out his brains.
Reeling from the tragedy Farmer
placed the pistol against his heart and
blew a ragged hole througn his body,
falling dead at the feet of his victims.
This in brief is the story of a terri
ble tragedy which shocked the com
munity of Mt. Zion church on the
Jonesboro and Ellen wood road about
three and a half miles from Jones
boro. The killing was the climax of a
quarrel which Farmer had with his
wife after his return from town.
, Mrs. Farmer was hit in the back,
the ball passing through her body as
she ran out of the nouse, and she fell
desperately wounded on the front
porch. Charles Farmer, the eldest
son of the pair, who was living with
his grandfather’s family in a house
about 200 feet down the road, hearing
the first shot, dashed out of his room
and arrived at his father’s .home in
time to pick up the body of his mother
as it lay on the floor.
Staggering into the house with his
burden, he entered Mrs. Farmer’s bed
room and laid her on the bed. Pistol
in hand his father came toward him,
but the boy waved him back. Farmer
made no attempt to snoot his son, but
hearing Captain Christian, who had
followed young Farmer, ; .s he came up
the front steps, stepped opt Unto the
.ball, Jinxed ayray and the: Via mtin
fell witfi a bullet in his thigh. As he
was failing Farmer fired again. The
ball- pierced Captain Christian’s head
and’ passed through the brain. The
body, limp and quivering, fell into the
doorway. The aged veteran lived
about .half an hour, but never spoke.
From all accounts Farmer proceed
ed about hie terrible worn without ex
citement and without explanation. Af
ter finishing his fathor In law he re
turned to his wife's bed room. Mrs.
Farmer was lying on the bed where
her son had laid her, and the young
man was sitting at her side. The
father came toward the ued, and
Young Farmer held outj his arm as if
to keep him away, If he meant fur
ther mischief. Farmer clutched his
son’s wrist for a moment, as If he
wanted to shake hands, backed away,
and placed the muzzle of the pistol to
his breast, shifted it once or twice,
and finally reaching a point on the
right side, he pulled t-,e trigger. There
was a deafening report and the body
fell headlong to the floor. The ball
had ranged slightly upward and pass
ed through the heart.
Charles Farmer, the son says his
father frequently quarreled with Mrs.
Farmer and that after bearing his
treatment as long as she could, she
decided to separate from him. In
fact,‘arrangements had been made
for her to go to Atlanta, where a
house had been rented, hue evidently
told her husband of her intention to
leave and this further enraged him,
although Just what took place between
them in their bed room between mid
night and the time the killing took
place no ono appears to know.
Mrs. Farmer May Live.
Late Sunday afternoon it was stated
that Mrs. Farmer was resting easy.
Members of the family feel encourag
ed at her condition, but the attend
ing physician,, does not hold out any
hope.
Captain James Christian and Farm
er were buried Sunday afternoon In
Mount Zion church yard. The two
funerals were largely attended, people
coming from miles around te be pres
ent at the Interment.
It ia said.that -armer was burled
In such position that in the event of
the death of his wife she will not be
placed by his side.

A Quick Cure That Lasted.
CASE NO. 30,011.—C. E. Boies, dealer
in grain and feed, 505 South Water
street, Akron, O., made the following
statement in 1S90; he • said: "Ever
since the Civil War I hdve had attacks
of kidney and bladder trouble, decid
edly worse during the last two dr three
years. Although 1 consulted physi
cians, some of whom told me I was
veVging on Bright’s disease, and I was
continually using standard remedies,
the excruciating aching just across the
kidneys, which radiated to the shoul
der blades, still existed. As might be
expected when my kidneys were in
disturbed condition, there was a dis
tressing and inconvenient difficult;
with the action of the kidney seer
tlons. A box of Doan’s Kidney Pllli
procured at Lamparter & Co.’s dr
store, brought such a decided chani
within a week that I qpntlnued t
treatment. The last attack, and it wi
particularly aggravated,. disappears

Mr. Boies says in 1899: “In
spring of 1890 I mndo a public sti
ment of my experience with Doi
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured’lpe
of a terrible aching in the kidncysi4u
the small of my back, in the muscles
of the shoulder blades, and In ‘.jjlie
limbs. During the years that lijvo
gone by I can conscientiously say tl|t*re
have been uo recurrences of my-old
trouble. My confidence in Doan’s Jtld-
ney Pills is stronger than ever,*iiot
only from my personal experience,
but from the experience of man# oth
ers in Akron which have come to my
notice.”

Smoking Cures Catarrh.
A Combination of Herbs, Smoked In a
Pipe, Curee Catarrh of Head,
Noae and Throat.
8AMPLES MAII.TD FREE.
Contains No Tobacco and la Pleasant
and Easy to Use.
The fact that the smoking of tobac
co is injurious to the health is no ar
gument against the use of* Dr. Blosser’s
Catarrh Cure in a pipe, or in the form
of cigarettes, as this remeuy contains
no tobacco or any injurious drug.
The effect of a remedy applied direct
ly to the diseased part is much bet
ter than the uncertain action of medi
cines taken into the stomach. This
is the philosophy, profound as it is
simple, of the treatment of catarrh
with Dr. Blosser’s Catarrh Cure.
It is the only known remedy that
can penetrate the recesses of the head,
throat and lungs. No liquid remedy
can do this. No spray that ever was
devised—surely no “constitutional"
nostrum taken into the stomach—can
reach the inflamed surfaces and
cleanse, soothe and heal them as this
medicated smoke-vapor does.
In order to demonstrate its,merits,
a three days' trial treatment will be
sent, absolutely free, to any sufferer.
