MISER BURIED HIS GOLD.
Relatives Are Now Digging Up a Karin
to Find It.
Asheville, N. C., Sept. 4.—The rela
tives of Jonathan Newman, late of
Henderson county, are still digging for
the bucket of gold, which the oid man,
just before his death Friday, declared
was buried in his garden. If it is un
earthed, it wi,l mean between $7,000
anu $10,000 for the heirs. -
Gold figured in ail the late transac
tions of Mr. Newman, as he would pay
a premium for the yellow metal when
necessary. Some are inclined io tUe
opinion that the bucket was buried un
der seme log or brushheap.
Mr. Newman had a way of going to
the outskirts of his large tract of laud
and building brnshheaps, whether
hmshheaps were needed or not. Won
dering neighbors used to watch the old
man pile up heaps of brush and logs,
ana then a day or so after their wonder
would take on fresh impetus to find the
brush aud legs in another place, there
being no apparent purpose in the vast
display of industry.
There are a half dozen sons, to say
nothing of a small army of other rela
tives, and it is said that the gold will
be found if it is necessary to dig up th'e
entire f irm. And in the meantime a
close watch is being kept to see that no
one outside of the family does any dig
ging. _

ENCOUNTER WITH RATTLER.
White Man Turned Yellow.
Florida Boy oxi Bicyclo Attacked by
Monster Reptile.
Fernandina, Fla., Sept. 2.—One of
the most thrilling affairs in the way of
a snake experience happened to a young
son of C. B. Royal, an employe of the
Seaboard Air Line railway at Yulee.
It appears the young fellow, who is
only about 12 or 13 years old, was rid
ing from Amelia Beach into Fernan
dina, on his bicyle, when near the resi
dence of Jimmie Drummond he ran
over an immense rattlesnake, which was
crossing the road.
When the wheel came iu contact with
the snake it was thrown to the ground,
aud the snake immediately put himself
in coil ana struck at the boy, missing
him with his fangs and striking the
body of the bicycle, on which now can
be seen their imprint. The body of the
snake came in coutaot with the saoaiaer
of the boy, who was almost paralyzed
with fear. At about that time Drum
mond appeared ou the scene and cap
tured the snake, which wa3 a tremend
ous one, being 8 feet long and fully 13
inches in circumference.

Tragedy In Tennessee.
Middleseoro, Ky., Sept. 3.—Advices
were received here today regarding a
tragedy last night on the Hancock-
Claibome line m Tennessee, 20 miles
from Shawnee. One report ha3 it that
in a quarrel over some trivial occur
rence two men were killed and several
wounded, while another report states
that only one man was killed. His
name is William Searles, and he is said
to have been quite prominent. There
were several engaged on each side and
more trouble is expected.
There Is more caiarrn in this section of tbe
country than all other diseases put together,
and until thelast few years was supposed to
be Incurable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a iocal disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constanti
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

Great consternation was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty, of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
Stomach and Liver remedy, and he
writes: “After taking two bottles I was
wholly cured.” A trial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver
aud Kidney troubles. Only 35c. Sold by
