A man by the name of Jones was shot through the abdomen Sunday in the lumber camps north of Helen by a man named Cole at the house of one of the employees of the Byrd-Matthews Lumber Company named Hooper. Mr. Hooper was held for trial which was given him Tuesday*, and was dismissed. It appears that Cole walked up to Cooper's house and stepped inside, and asked Cooper to look at his gun, which was a rifle, and while looking at turned about saying he wanted to shoot a dog, and fired through the window, immediately running toward the woods, and has not yet been apprehended. Cooper claims that he had never spoken to Cole and that he did not know him, neither did he know Jones, the man who was shot, Jones was taken by special tsain to Gaines¬ ville Sunday afternoon and placed in an hospital for treatment. Last news we have of him he is still alive. Woman’s Suffrage Column. The president of the National Housewives’ League is Mrs. Julian Ileath, She has lately become a Suffragist stating as her reason, that in order to get proper food for their families at reasonable rates, and to enforce pure food legislation women must possess the ballott as the essential remedial agent. Senator Stafford of Louisiana is the author of a bill designed to remove some of the present discriminations against married women in his State. The Bill reads as follows; ‘•AN ACT. To autlwiae a married to contract, site and be sued with¬ out, the consent of her husband,and giving her acts the same effect as those of if a single woman. Sec. 1, Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana that a married woman may contract, sue and be sued with¬ out the consent of her husband,and all contracts made by her shall bind her to the same extent as through made by a single woman. Sec. 2. Be it futher inacted, etc., That whenever a married woman mortgages, sells, ox other¬ wise contracts, the declaration and recitals of the act, shall bind her to the same extent as though she were a single woman. Sec. 3. Be it father engaged etc.. That all laws or parts of laws in conflict herewith, be and the same are hereby repealed,” This is a very slight measure of justice and should prevail in every Southern State. To handicap marriage is never wise since the home is the direct point of indefen¬ sible attack. LEAF R. F. D. 1 NEWS.

Ip the words of James, iii, 6, “And tjje tjpgue is a fire, a world of in ’ so ' s the tongue among our Jiodjl ®er%ers, that it defileth the whole and setteth on fire the whole of nature ; and it is set on ijre’of hell.” Never was there read ffojn the holy writ a greater truth The tongue of a vindictii minded person is the vilest instru mem, the devil can controll to fur¬ ther* his kingdom in in the world. Strange to say the tongue of that class of persons is never turned against a guilty person ; it is never turned against that which is evil witJt the purpose of trying to remedy the evil, but to bring about a greater evil, to magnify the evil alreiu-ly hfrijiling done. It is always found that which is good. Of aJrJhe vilifying, evils in the world, that of back-biting, and slander¬ ing ones neighbors is the greatest. Stop a minute, my friends, if you have been guilty of evil speaking ami think of yourself. Remove the beam from thine own eye. Look more unto the w'alksof self. Keep youfself employed in looking at your own walk, and you wont have time to see the faults of thy broth¬ er. , Mt. S. B.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu¬ cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be t3ken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi¬ tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of tetf^are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh i that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. r. J.
