A POOR FARMER MURDERED
Killed for His Money While Driving;
Jits Ox-Team Home from Marsh
Tllle. ..' " j ;
Monroe, Oct. 12. There was a
murder committed neur Marshville,
this county, last Thursday uigbl, the
news of which has just been brought
here. John B Marsh, a . poor white
farmer, started from the above
named village at night in his ox
cart. N ot 'arriving heme that night
or the next daj, his neighbors started
out to look for him. His body was
found near the roadside, about mid
way between his home and the vil
lage, which ; are five miles apart.
The body wa3 not removed until
Saturday, when the coroner held an
inquest. ; j
There were three wounds; on the
head such as would be inflicted by a
heavy piece of timber, the skull
being broken.) The dead man s hat
was found near the towj. Blood on
the hat indicated that the man was
struck just when starting out, and
that he rede on in his car?, and
finally got down, or. fell, and
crawled some1 distance from the
road. The team went to the house
of a neighbor. The man was seen
to have some money at the -store,
and it is thought tbat for this the
deed was done. The dead man had
put his money in his pocket and
then tied the pocket above, thus se.
curing it. The robber must have
been frightened before he had time
to find the money. In the j pocket
thus tied up was 5.56.
Housekeeping-.
If a woman is in good health
there is do more healthful employ
ment than , housework.- Generally
speaking, there is no happier; woman
In the wprld.j But how different
when every breath is pain; every
step torture ! This state of ( health
in nine cases out of ten comes from
some derangement of the delicate,
feminine orders of generation. The
family doctor inquires first concern
ing these. He most usually i insists
upon an "examination." From this
the modest woman naturally shrinks.
She is right. Except in very unu
sual cases of ''female weakness? ex
aminations are unnecessary. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
simple, natural remedy for these
ills. It cures; safely, permanently.
