Plenty of Ex
ercise Necessary
Plenty of regular exercise must be
i taken ih order to keep the body in a
I healthy condition. Any excessive or
■unusual exertion, however, is sure to
cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints.
I To counteract tills effect there is
■ nothing better than Sloan’s Liniment.
Lay it on lightly where the museles
hast been strained ; it requires no rub
bing for it penetoates right to the bone,
relieves any congestion and intlanuna
i tion and makes the muscles elastic and
pliant.
Sloan’s Liniment is a great boon to
athletes, for it not only relieves pain
and stiffness, but it is an excellent
remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and
cramps.
i Mr. J. F. Price, of Tuscumbia, Ala.,
writes:- l ‘l am an engineer on the
Southern Road from Chattanooga to
Memphis, Tenn. I'hv continued eleva
tion of my arm upon the throttle gives
it a sore feeling when on a long jour
ney, and there is nothing that will take
the soreness out like Sloan's Liniment,
and I keep a bottle in my grip always.”

California, Detained in Chattanooga.
L. O. Harris, who has for the last
six months ten acting as operator in
the Central railroad’s telegraph office
i here and also selling tickets in the

ticket office here, good lor passage to
San Francisco, California, and is also
charged with forging the chief dis
patcher’s name of the Macon division
to an order which secured him a pass
to Chattanooga.
Harris is said to have asked for re
bel several times and failing to get
same, he pulled out and left anyhow.
; He left here Tuesday morning on the
train lor Chattanooga. The officials
of the miiroad company found out in
some way that the ticket to Califor
' nia was missing, and the conductor is
said to have taken the ticket away
from Harris before getting to Chat
tanooga. He was allowed to go free
then, but later orders were sent from
here to have him arrested in Chatta

20 years old. He came here some
six months ago from Chattanooga.
He was married during the summer
to a young lady of Lytle, Ga., but
the marriage resulted unhappily and
he and his wife separated three

Some time ago, it is alleged, he
checked up $5.00 short in the ticket
office here, but this matter was set
tled and he continued to hold his
position.

THOMAS CLARK
DIES OF WOUND
Southern Railway Employe Was Shot
Down in Stockbridge, Ga.
Thomas Clark, aged 21 years, an
employe of the Southern railway, who
was shot through the lungs by an un
known party Friday night while
walking down the streets of Stock
bridge, Ga., his home town, died at a
private sanitarium in Atlanta Sun
day afternoon. Pneumonia devel
oped shortly after Mr. Clark was
wounded, which hastened death. He
never rega’ned complete conscious
ness.
Mr. Clark was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Clark, of Stockbridge,
and was a member of the bridge force
of the Southern road at Stockbringe,
a few miles above McDonough. *
The shooting occurred Friday night
at 10 o’clock, as Mr. Clark and his
two friends, Bunn Hightower, and
another young man, were walking
down the street in Stockbridge. It
is the supposition that a negro man,
who is now lodged in the McDonough
jail, was the slayer of Mr. Clark.
Several shots were fired, one taking
effect in Mr. Clark’s right lung and
ranging diagonally through the body.
Another shot passed through Mr.
Hightower’s hat, and the remaining
shot flew wide of its mark.
