Two months ago they fell out about some stock and had fre quent quarrels. At last they appoint ed Saturday to meet at a certain place in the public road and “shoot it out.” They both went armed with shot guns. Robertson first srav Anderson and fired, hitting him with two shots. The latter then rushed upon his enemy and literally shot him to pieces. He claims self-defence and surrendered His own wounds are quite serious. THE CONNELLY-STEEPLY MURDER. Full particulars have been printed regarding the killing in Barnwell county on Sunday of Mr. John Steed ly by Miss Connelly, /kt the investi gation it was shown that she Avalked up behind her victim and shot him in the back. Steedly lived about ten minutes. Miss Connelly with her father is now at the Dowliug House iu Barnwell, and declines to say any thing. She seems to be perfectly calm and not in the least excited. She voluntarily put herself into the cus tody of a trial justice. The cause of the shooting is supposed to be the reports circulated by Steedly reflect ing upon the honor of Miss Connelly, but rumors are afloat to the effect that certain letters, which have not yet been made public, may have been the immediate cause. The inquest Avas held by Justice D. J. Rowe yes terday morning. The verdict, avi s that the deceased came to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by Miss Emma Connelly. Quiet reigns at Hunter's Chapel, and public senti ment seems to be with Miss Connelly. The affair is very much regretted by the friends of both parties. SEVERING THE JUGULAR VEIN.

I Thirst for Drink. i A P»osntl,»i| lluskinl Drinks fh»‘ Whiskey Prescribed for His Dying Wife- Athens Banner Watchman: There recently reached our ears a story almost too horrible to believe, and j yet it comes from a reliable source, i There lived in Athens an old couple, i all children married off'. The wife j was a worthy, Christian woman, but , the husband was a confirmed drunk : ard, whose thirst for whisky was ' insatiate. Ho would pawn his soui J for a drink, and every dollar he ' earned went to the bar-keeper. At ' last the wife was taken serio .sly sick and her life was iu a critical condi tion. Her physician prescribed whisky for treatment, and as the old people were without means, a son-in law gave the husband enough money jto buy a gallon of liquor, lie went down iu Oglethorpe county, to a man ' who is dealing out the ardent in defiance of prohibition, and purchns ed a gallon of whisky. "While the temptation to taste it was strong upon the old man, he restrained his ap petite until near home, when he decided to steal only a swallow. This only whetted his thirst, and when he staggered in the room where his sick wife lay, he was beastly drunk. For two days he laid on the floor in this condition, with that jug hugged to his breast, and on awaken ing from his stupor would at once begin to drink again. In the mean time his poor wife lay upon her bed with no one to attend to her wants, while her besotted husband was rolling like a beast upon the floor, selfishly drinking up the whiskey that was to restore her to life. The neighbors knew nothing of what was going on. In the meantime, the poor woman, through sick and neglect, died unattended and uncared for. After two days’ time some person chanced to pass, and discovered the husband drunk upon the floor, while the poor old woman was lying dead upon her bed. On Saturday night during a thun der storm the residence of Mr. Joe. Coppedge, in Barnesville, was struck by lightning, which tore up the front of his house and the plastering on the inside; knocked the back out of a washstand without damage to the bowl and pitcher thereon. No one was hurt. Eleven illicit distillei ies have Deen captured in Heard county this year. Joe. O’Kelley, of Madison county, killed a chicken snake near his house a few days since, that measured 7 feet in length. Thousands of Dollars. A Gentleman Who Has Reached the Proph et’s Age. JAMES C. DUNLAP. Almost three score years and ten have pass - ed over the head of .Tames C. Dunlap: the fr osts of seventy winters have served to whiten his lock's, and the warmth and gladness of as many summers have pre served in him their' geniality and friendly spirit. Man’s allotted time of life has been given him and he is yet as hale and as hearty as 'if he was prepared to double the prophet’s age. He lives at 264 East Cain Street, Atlanta, with his worthy wife and family. “My wife has,” said Mr. Dunlap, recently “for the past three years been a great suffer er from rheumatism. The disease attacked her in the sciatic form, and caused her tenable suffering. She was tortured almost all the time, although we did everything in our power to alleviate her pains. The disease appeared to have a firm hold upon her, and last summer and fall she suffered the most excruciating painsand agony. Her system offered little or no resistance to the ravages of this disease We almost despaired of relieving her of its clutches, and it was with heavy hearts and little faith we began the use of Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure, at the earnest solicitation of our friends last December. The effect nt the medicine was almost miraculous. She began to improve at almost the first dose, and although at this time she has only taken three I bottles, I can truthfully say that thousands of i dollars would not express the good it has ' accomplished for her. Her rheumatic pains | and twinges have entirely disappeared. It is certainly a wonderful remedy, and I desire to ! be put ripon record assaying that any person | who allows a friend to suffer from the ravages of disease when a specific of this kind can be procured from anv drug store of this broad land of ours, at the trifling price of one dollar a Isittlc, within the reach of even the poorest, is naught but a criminal." Manufactured by J. M. Hunnicutt 4 Co., Atlanta, Ga. NOT SEARED. BI T THE HEART THROBS OF TRI E 'lllllOOll. Sparta, Ga., Sept, 22,1885. —To the Constitution, Atlanta, —Were I to pratice deception in a case like this. I would think that my'heart had be come soared beyond recognition. To be guilty of bearing false testi mony, thereby imperilling the lives of my fellow-men, would place me beneath the dignity of a gentleman. The facts which I disclose are en dorsed and vouched for by the cum munity in which I live, and I trust i tliev inaA avert the influence intend ed.' For twenty long years I have suffered untold tortures from a terri hie pain and weakness in the small of I my back, which resisted all modes and manner of treatment. For a long time the horrifying pangs of an eating cancer of my lower li] has added to iny misery and suffering. This encroaching, burning and painful sore on my lip was pro nounced Epithelial Cancer l>y the prominent physicians in this section, which stubbornly resisted the best medical talent. About eighteen i months ago a cutting, piercing pain | located in my breast, which could not : be allayed by the use. of ordinary ’ modes of treatment. These sufferings of misery ami prostrations became so great that, on the 18th of last July, a leading physi cian said that I could not live longer than four days, and I had about given ‘ up in despair. The burning and ex cruciatiug ravages of the cancer, the | painful condition of my back and breast, and the rapid prostration of my whole system combined to make me a mere wreck of former manhood. While thus seemingly suspended on a thread between lite and death, I commenced the use of B. B. 8., the grandest blood medicine, to mo and my household, ev.r used. The effect was wonderful—it was magical. The excruciating pains which had tormented me by day and by night for twenty years were soon held in abeyance, and peace and comfort were restore I to a suffering man, the cancer commenced healing, ’ strength was imparted to my feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been used I Avas one of the happiest of men, and felt about as well as I ever did. All pain had vanished, the cancer on my lip healed, and I was pronounc ed cured. To those who are, afflict ed, and need a blood remedy, I urge the use of B. B. B. as a wonderfully effective, speedy and cheap blood purifier. Allen Grant. Sparta, Ga., September 22, 1885 I saw Mr. Allen Grant, when he was suffering with epithelial cancer of under lip, and after using the B. B. B. medicine, as stated above, I find him now almost if not perfectly cured. Signed, J. T. Andrews, M. D. Sparta, Ga , September 22, 1885. VVe take pleasure in certifying to the truth of the above statement, having supplied the patient with the Blood Balm. Signed, Rozier & Vardeman, Drug gists. Sparta, Ga., September 22, 1885. I often saw Mr. Allen Grant when suffering from epithelioma, and from the extent of the cancer thought he would soon die. He now appears perfectly well, and I consider it a most wonderful cure.
