Good Advice,
The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep
sia and liver complaint. More than
seventy-five per cent, of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects;
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness, palpitation of the
heart, heartburn, waterbrash, gnawing
and burning pains at the tongue and
disagreeable taste in the mouth, com
ing up of food after eating, low spirits,
etc. Go to your druggist and get a bot
tle of August Flower for 25 or 75 cents.
Two doses will relieve you. Try it.

last? Such was the experience of
Mrs. S. 11. Newson, Decatur, Ala
“For three years,” she writes, “I
endured insufferable pain from in
digestion, stomach and bowel
trouble. Death seemed inevitable
when doctors and all remedies fail
ed. At length I was induced to try
Electric Bitters and the result was
miraculous. I improved at once
and now I’m completely recovered.”
For liver, kidney, stomach and
bowel troubles Electric Bitters is
the only medicine. Only 50c. It’s
guaranteed by Carlisle & Ward and

City Court.
Owing to this being a sort of rush
season with the farmers, Judge
Hammond’s court, which met in
regular quarterly session Monday
morning, adjourned Monday
evening until tne 221 inst., and
may adjourn then until next term,
it is intimated.
Only three cases were tried, one
being of some importance, since it
sends Wyatt McLeroy, Griffin’s
original and most notorious nt gro
OliLd tiger, $0 the chaingang lor
twelve months. Wyatt keeps a
dive in one of the awful shanties
opposite the railroad station, and if
it should burn down before he gets
out of the gang another good deed
would be done.
London Green got six months for
misdemeanor and some other negro
got it in tbe neck, and that’s all.
Killing at Williamson.
Sunday afternoon at Williamson,
eight miles from Griffin, Sandy
Dickinson shot and instantly killed '
Andrew Hood and his son, Ed Hood, j
and fatally wounded Will Jones
The shooting occurred in a store
room, where Sandy Dickinson and
his brother Will were reported to
be selling liquor. There was an
old grudge between the two parties,
and a dispute arose over the pay
ing for a five cent drink, according
to reports. Dickinson shot each of
his victims in the back of the head.
The murderer at unce escaped,
but was captured about dark that
evening by Sheriff Milner and a
posse at the gm house on the place
of Spence Marsh, where he was em
ployed, covered almost entirely up
in cotton seed. He was carried to
Zabulon and placed in jail.
Dickinson claims that El Hoed,
a son of Andrew Hood, and Will
Jones, his son-in-law, were advanc
ing an him with an open knife, but
his statement is not believed! and
his chances seem fairly good for
stretching the hemp at some future
day.
A negro singing was being held at
Mt. Liberty, near tbe acene of the
shooting, and all the negroes fled to
the woods in their excitement.
