A HOLD-UP
Mr. J.T. Ragaa Stopped oa the Road
by a Burly Negro who Waited
His Moaey
Saturday morning about eight
o'clock, when "Uncle Tommie"
Ragan was just beyond the farm of
Mr. J. R. Mobley a big burley
negro stopped him. The negro
said he wanted to ask him a favor,
which he soon did —asked him for
the loan of a dollar —which Uncle
Tom refused. Then the negro
grabbed him by the wrist and tried
to pull him from the buggy. Mr.
Ragan halloo wed to his horse and
the animal promptly jumped to run,
in doing so the negro was knocked
down by the wheel. Mr. Ragan's
right arm and wrist was much
bruised in the scuffle. He says he
does not know the negro.
Palatal Accident
Early yesterday morning Mr. A.
S. Terry, the genial and clever
manager of the Southern Veneer
Co was unfortunate enough to
have the end of one of his fingers
cut off.
Mr. Terry started to temove a
pile of strips from the veneer knife
which he had done thousands of
times before, and his finger was
caught.
He walked down town to the
drug store, about half a mile, and,
'phoned for Dr. Warren, then he sat
down and lighted a cigar, which he
seemed to enjoy as much as usual.
Dr. Warren soon arrived and had
the finger dressed in short order.
Mr. Terry immediately returned
to the mill to his work as though
nothing unusual had happened.

A Caatlaaal Strata
Many men and women are con
stantly subjected to what they com
monly term "a continual strain"
because of some financial or family
trouble. It wears and distresses
them l>oth mentally and physically,
affecting their ' nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ail
ments, with the attendant evils of
constipation, loss of appetite, sleep
lessness, low vitality and despond
ency. They cannot, as a rule, get
rid of this "continual strain," but
they can remedy its health-destroy
ing effects by taking frequent doses
of Green's August Flower. It
tones up the liver, stimulates the
kidneys, insures healthy bodily
functions, gives vim and spirit to
one's whole being, and eventually
dispels the physical or mental dis
tress caused by that "continual
strain." Trial bottles of August
Flower, 25c.; regular size, 75c. At

Jacksonville, Fla., September 6-
At 1:30 this morning, a residence

ihe house thedynainite was placed.
While the room was torn to pieces
and the lied demolished, the two
women escaped unhurt.
A new theory that is proving suc
cessful in the cure of Coughs.Lung
and Bronchial affections is offered
in Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar
This remedy cuts the mucus, heals
the membranous lining of the
throat, lungs and bronchial tubes;
wards off Pneumonia and strength
ens the system generally. Croup
and Whooping Cough disappear
before its use as snow before the
sunshine of Spring. It's pleasant.
