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. Inventor of Gatllag Gap Dead. R. H.

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.
