Ycuns Rockwell Boy Dies from Wounds.
Lester Lee Miller, aged 15
years and 1 8 months, died at theft
sanatorium in this city Sunday
afternoon of injuries received by
being accidentally shot Monday,
April 23rd, by a companion, Hoy
Fesperman, at Rockwell. The
body was taken to Rockwell
Monday morning and the funeral
was held from the First Baptist
church at that place and the in
terment took place at Lower
Stone church.
The death of young Miller was
distressingly sad. A week or
more ago he and a companion,
Hoy Fesperman, a son of B A
Fesperman, a partner in business
of the father of the deceased,
were out hunting and in some
;uanner the , Fesperman boy ac
cidentally shot his companion,
the Miller boy, the load entering
the right side near the hip, tear
ing a hole and it is said pierced
the intestines in a number of
places. The injured boy was
brought to Salisbury and placed
in the sanatorium but at no time
was there any great hope held
out for his recovery.
Among those here from Rock
well Monday, at which place
both boys lived .with their par
ents, was young Fesperman and
he was greatly distressed over
rhe death of his companion aud
playmate. Young Miller was a
son of B T Miller, a well known
man of Rockwell, and was much
liked. His death has caused
great sorrow in the little town.

Proper Food for WaaK Stomachs.
The proper food for one man
mav be all wrong for another.
Every one should adopt a diet
suited to his age and occupation.
Those who have weak stomachs
need to be especially careful and
should eat slowl3r and masticate
their food thoroughly. It is also
imoortant that they keep their
bowels regular. When they be
come eonsiipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating
they should take Chamberlain's
Tablets to strengthen the stom
ach and move the bowels. They
are easy to take and rueasant in
effect.
THE FIRST STEP
Usually the first indication of a
lowering of health is found in the j
bowels and Jiver. Something goes
wrong we eat too much,, or work
too hard and the bowel . action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness of the
throat, with: bad taste, a slight
headache, dull 'eyes all show that
food has fermented in the intes
tines, and that the body is man
ufacturing poisons instead of
good blood.
Clear it all out. Give the
stomach and bowels a fresh start.
Encourage the liver to go to
work. Manalin does all of this,
without griping or weakening.
It's the ideal laxative and liver
tonic, because it follows Nature's
plan, without discomfort, inflam
mation or forming a. habit. Con
