Mr. Barnhill came to town early in the night and tried to buy some laudanum from the drug store, claiming that he had a very sick horse. He was imform ed by Mr. E. T. Whitehead, the druggist, that he could only sell it on a doctor's prescription. The young man then went in search of a doctor. Finding Dr. O. F. Smith he made the same plea about a sick horse. He was finally given the pre scription, and as soon as hewas in possession of the deadly drug he hurried to his room on the Hall farm, about six miles from town on Roan oke river. Getting home he took the drug and fell across the bed, where he was found early Monday morning in an unconscious condi tion. Medical aid was immediately summoned, but it was too late and the young man died about 10 o'clock. Mr. Barnhill lef lj a note addressed to his employer, Mr. F. P. Shields, in which he said that the rash act was committed because of a disap pointment in a love affair. The deceased was about 20 years of age and was said to be a very promising young man. He had been superintending the Hall farm for Mr. Shields this year and was well thought of by all on the farm. The remains were prepared for burial and carried to the home of his parents near Dawsons for inter ment Tuesday morning. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved family in their great grief and affliction. May God comfort their hearts. The First Cotton Blossoms. Taken to a Hospital. Mr. C. L.

The board of deacons of the Scot land Neck Baptist church made a re port to the church conference Sun day morning, recommending that the lot on the north side'ofthe home of Mrs. M. A. Shields, on church street be selected as the site for the new parsonage. The report was adopted and we understand active steps will be taken at once for the erection of the building. The deacons constitute the build ingjeommittee, and they will have en tire charge of all the work. This commitee made a trip to Rocky Mouut in automobiles yesterday to inspect the parsonage at that place. We understand the church pro poses to spend between six and seven thousand dollars for the pur chase of the lot and for the building. The lot is a very desirable one and the church is to be congratulated on the wise selection. "How old, colonel, does a man have to be before he can vote in Georgia?"

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure U the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assist ing nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails ta cure. Send for list of testimo nials. Address, F. J.
