A Tonic That Builds Strength.
The great trouble about a good'!
many tonics is i hat they contain
alcohol.
Now most of the time this
.makes no difference, and the a-
mount is usually small anyway;
but in some cases it is not desir
able-for instance, where the
nervous system is weakened by
mental strain, particularly of bus
iness men and women,
Here is a splendid tonic that
loesn’t contain a drop of alcohol.
Practically every ingredint in it
is a true nerve food, supplying
phosphorus and the needed lime
and magnesia salts.

fagged-out women, and puny,
listless children.

Deputy Sheriff Will Griner, of
Mitchell county, was shot and
killed Tuesday night about 10
o, clock by a negro, four miles
from Camilla, while Mr. Griner
in company with the sheriff from
Vbrth county was attempting to
arrest a negro who was wanted
for cow stealing.
The Worth county official went
to one door, and Mr. Griner to
the other. A negro woman
opened the door at the call of the
officers, and as~Mr. Griner step
ped in, the negro, Fleming Jack-
son, shot him with shot gun,
jeath being almost instantan
eous. Assoonjashe heard the
shot, the other officer ran around
the house, but the negro had
made good his escape to the woods
The head of Mr. Guinea had been
shot so badly that it was almost
severed from the body, ’ The
Worth County Sheriff immediat
ely’took the body to Camilla and
possee of two hundred men
was immediately formed and
started on the trail of the negro.
They found his shirt and shoes,
near the place and it was report*
ed Wednesday that they had
him surrounded in a swamp, ten
miles South of Camilla.
The negro is of a gingercake
color, about. twenty-one years
old, five feet, ten inches high
and weighs one hundred and'
forty pounds. He hasla#small
moustache and wears a' No. 8
shoe. The negro wore a pair of
overall when • the crime was
committed. He was raised in
Randolph county, worked last
year in Grady county and was
employed this year near Puulan,
in YVorth county. There is a re
ward of two hundred dollars for
his capture.
Singletary Defeated.
Judge J.R. Singletary, who was
defeated in the recent primary
for Judge of the City Court of
Grady county, bolted and entered
the race as an independent in the
regular election against Hon. W.
J. Willie, the democratic nomi
nee. He was again snowed under
last Tuesday. He got justice and
went the route all bolters travel
in the state.
Judge Singletary, it will.be re
membered, is the man thatlegis-
lated himself into this office at
che dme Grady county was being
formed, he being one of the rep
resentatives from Thomas Coun
ty, and took special pains to fix
the specification so that he was
the only man in the new county
territory eligibe to the Judgeship.
He is well known in Thomas
county and it is safe to say th^t
he has few sympathizers over
his defeat here, notwithstanding
he' has many personal friends
in this county. — Thomasviils
