The motive of the murderer is
yet unrevealed.
The crime was awful, shock-
ing, and the city was paralyzed
at its boldness. The parents of
the murdered girl were prostra-
ted. Her mother, a most noble
woman, after her great grief had
spent itself, expressed herself in
these words while conversing
with newspaper reporters:
“Put the murderer of my
daughter in jail, don’t kill him,’’
pleaded Mrs. Brown.
“I’ve been thinking over the
mpime,, and I don’t want the peo-
ple of this town to take the guil-
ty man in charge and mob him
after the officers find him. I
Want him put away somewhere,
so he can’t bother anybody else.

The memory of my girl’s violent
death is enough, without having
it linked with a worse crime that
would do no good.”
Go to Berry Brothers for This
Safe, Reliable. Remedy and
Get Your Money Back if
It Fails.
There are very few remedies
that gain the confidence of drug-
gists as Dodson’s Liver Tone
does. Berry Brothers sell it and
back up the sale of every bottle
with the money-back guarantee
that the price will be refunded if
it fails to give complete satisfac-
tion.
Dodson’s Liver Tone costs 50c
a bottle. It is the safest and best
remedy for torpid liver, consti-
pation, biliousness, etc., that has
ever been sold in this city. It
takes the place of dangerous cal-
omel and does not lay you up as
a dose of calomel often does. A
bottle in the house is as good as
fifty cents in the bank. If you
or your family need a liver tonic
you have the medicine ready. If
it fails you get your money back.
Be sure you get Dodson’s Liver

valuable prizes have been

others which contestants can

Wed. night'ran to comedy, but
through all of them a wholesome
moral lesson was taught, as can
be found in nearly all motion pic-
tures. Motion pictures are en-
tertaining, instructive, and rest-
ful to the tired worker seeking
an evening’s diversion. It is bet-
ter to spend an evening with the
‘ ‘movies’^ where you are amused
by men and women actors of
note And accomplishment than to
put in the time discussing the
pew arrival in town or^ peeling
the cuticle from a neighbor’s an-
atomy,., so to speak, or trying to
find out and peddle abqut the la-
test bit of village gossip.' Man-
ager Ctoss is supplying good en-
tertainment ’for’ Cumby people
and, he deserves a better patron-
age for the two nights in the
week on which he puts his show
on. than was given him at the last
exhibition.

Will be a good one, and you are
expected to be there.
Renews Subscriptions
A. S. Davis, a substantial far-
mer and a valued patron of the
Rustler, called Wednesday and
renewed three subscriptions he
is sending away. Mr. Davis is
also paying for other subscrip-
tions to the Rustler, includ-
ing one for himself, but upon ex-
amination it was found that they
were already paid ahead. He
has a son in a sanitarium at Col-
orado Springs, Colo., whom he
reports recovering.
Visiting in Ken-
tucky and Virginia
C. W. Bolin left first of the week
for Kentucky and Virginia to
visit relatives. On his return he
will stop off at St. Louis and
make the fall and winter pur-
chases for the firm of Bolin &
Branom, of which he is the sen-
ior member. Mr. Bolin is an ex-
perien^ed buyer, and we are ad-
vised that the purchases this
time will surpass, in every re-
spect, that of any former invest-
ment made by this firm.
First Open Boll
The first open cotton boll of
the season to reach the Rustler
office was brougt in last week.
It came from C. R. Choat’s field,
near Ruff, who also sent in the
first cotton bloom. Now, if Mr.
Choat will bring in the first bale
he will have honors enough to
his credit to put him at the head
of the progressive class of cotton
growers in this section.
