Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troubles?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott’s Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
ists. You can get it at any drug Btore.

Negro Thief Shot and Killed.
For some time past Mr. Glenn Ar
nold. of Grantville, has been missing
goods from his store, and there was ac
cumulating evidence that some slick
thief was responsible for these losses.
The store usually opens for business
about 6 o’clock. Yesterday morning
Mr. Harry Baxter, a member of the
firm, determined to set a watch and
catch the thief if he should show up.
With this purpose in view he concealed
himself under a counter und awaited
developments. He did not have long to
wait. Shortly after the store opened
Lewis Fitten and another negro named
Rosser came into the store. Rosser
approached a clerk—the only one in the
house at the time—and asked to see
some goods that wore kept in a differ
ent department Fitten carried an emp
ty sack, and as soon as the clerk and
RoBser were out of Bight he began fill
ing the sack with clothing and other
articles. When the sack wbb filled he
shouldred it and started out at the
front door. Just sb he reached the
door Mr. Buxtcr rose from behind the
counter and called to him to halt., but
instead of paying heed to the warning
he dropped the sack and ran. Seizing
a shotgun Mr. Baxter hurried to the
door, and, merely to frighten him, sent
a chance shot after the fleeing negro.
He continued to run, and soon disap
peared. Imagine Mr. Baxter's aston-
shment when information was brought
shortly afterwards that his chance Hhot
had taken effect, striking the fugitive
in a vital spot and causing his death.
Coroner Cook summoned a jury atfd
held an inquest yesterday morning.
After a full and thorough investigation
Mr. Baxter was exonerated, the jury
finding that the killing of the negro
was justifiable.
Notlca is hereby given that on the 24 day of
March, 1916, the said person was duly adjudica
ted bankrupt; nnd that the first meeting of cred
itors will be heid in the court-house in Nownan,
Ga., on the 17th day of March, 1916, at 2 o'clock
p. m., at which time said creditors may attend,
prove their claims, appoint a trustee, examine
the bankrupt nnd transact such other business as
may properly come before snld meeting.
