Her Own Words.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 13, 1877.
Mr. H. R. Stevens.
Dear Sir—Since several years I have
got a sore and very painful foot. I had
some physicians, but they couldn’t cure
me. Now I have heard of your Vegetiue
fiom a lady who was sick for a long time,
and became all well from your Vegetiue,
and I went and bought me one bottle of
Vegetiue; and after 1 had used one bottle
the pains left me, and it began to heal,
and then I bought one other bottle, and
so I take it yet. I thank God for this
remedy and yourself; and wishing every
ruffe re 1 may pav attention to it. It is a
blessing for health-

Dear Sir—This is to certify that I have
used your ‘‘Blood Preparation” in my
family for several years, and that for
Scrofula or Cankerous Humors or Rheu-
matic affections it cannot be excelled;
and a blood purifier and spring medicine
it is the best thing I have ever used and I
have used almost eveiything. I can cheer-
fully recommend it to any one in need of
such a medicine. Yours respectfully

not the slightest occasion for any

mistake has been succeeded by great
humiliation. Lord Derby’s career
as minister ought to terminate, and

The trial of Ww, Sims for the
killing of J. W. George, was com-
menced Wednesday morning before
Judge Kirk. The State was repre-
sented by County Attorney Cowles,
J. W. Cockrell, Esq., of Sherman,
and Capt. Woods, of this city, and
the defense by A. B. Person, Esq.
The first witness was Annie
Woods. She stated that she was an ;
inmate of a house on Skiddy street, |
known as Brown Front; that she J
had known defendant for about four j
years. Defendant and her went to j
bed together about 8 o’clock Mon- j
day evening; he had been drinking |
some and was soon asleep. About j
9 o’clock p. m. George broke the |
door open and with a knife in hand \
advanced towards defendant, saying j
“you d—d son of a b—h I have j
come to kill you;” she and Sims'
jumped out of bed; deceased ad-
vanced towards defendant, trying to
strike him with the knife, they scuf-
fled for about one minute, defendant
pushing deceased back until he
reached the bureau ; defendant then
took hold of a pistol, which was in
the toilet case on the bureau, saying 1
to George “go away or I will kill
you;” deceased continued in his ef-
forts to strike defendent with the !
knife; defendant then fired two shots j
at deceased; deceased fell on his j
back and did not breathe again.
She also stated that the night pre
vious to this occurrence the defen-
dant came to her door about 3 or 4
Diabolical Attempt to Poison a
Family.
A diabolical attempt was made to
poison the family of W. T. Nance,
of Lancaster, near Dallas, last Wed-
nesday night, a lull account of which
appears in the Dallas Commercial.
Mrs. Jennie McCommes, the house-
keeper, after arising from the supper
table, stepped out on the porch where
the water bucket was to get a drink.
Raising the dipper to her mouth,
and after taking several swallows
she felt something touch her mouth,
and carrying the dipper into the
house to the light discovered a paper
package labeled “arsenic.” A doctor
was immediately called in who pro-
nounced the contents arsenic, and in
a few minutes the woman began to
exhibit unmistakable signs ot being
poisoned. Antidotes were adminis-
tered, and about two o’clock she be-
ban to rally, and it was not long be-
fore she was out of danger. In Mr.
Nance’s family there are five persons,
which, together with that of h s
brother who is visiting them, make
eleven.
Mr. Nance suspects a man who
sought the hand of Mrs. McCommes,
who is a widow lady, in marriage,
and on meeting with a positive re-
fusal vowed to her he would be re-
venged, and has thus attempted to
kili her. The party in question also
vowed vengeance against Mr. Nance
and his wife, claiming that they had
prejudiced the woman against hiru.

I. R. Stevens.
J Dear Sir—About one year since I found
myself in a leeble condition from general
debility. Vegetiue was strongly recom-
mended to me bv a friend who had been
much benefited bv its use. I procured the
article, and, after using several bottles,
was restored to health, and discontinued
its use. I feel confident that there is no
medicine superio to it for those complaints
for which it is especially prepared, and
would cheerfully recommend u to those
who feel that they need something to re-
store them to perfect health.

you that we are not yet in possession
there,” Sims answered “it is me.”
Deceased, who was with her, said to
let him in. Sims and Fletcher then
entered the room. They shook
hands with deceased and Sims said,
“You are my friend, let us take a
drink together;” deceased said there
was a bottle of liquor on the burean ;
they all took a ch ink and Sims and
Fletcher left. She was very much
excited at the time, because she knew
deceased to be a very quarrelsome
man.
The next person examined was

deceased came to the bar and called
for a drink. It was furnished him.
