It is stated that Jim Loftin, the little
boy, who died last Monday, may not
have died from rabies. As stated by
The Leader, the boy was bitten by a
mad dog in January, and was treated
by the Pa6teur Institute in Atlanta,
and discharged as cured. When he was
taken sick Monday be died before
physicians could reach him, and from
the symptoms given, they are of the
opinion that death was not caused by
hydophobia. The records and the evi
dence at the Pasteur Institute are de
cicidedly against the supposition that
the unfortunate boy died from the ef
fects of the dog bite.

Colds Cause Pneumonia.
One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deepseated on the la gs, caus
ing pneumonia, isthat of Mrs. Gertrude
E. Fenner, Marlon, Ind., who was en
tirely cnred by the use of One Minute
Congh Core. She says: “The coughing
and straining so weakened me that I
ran down in weight from 148 to 92
pounds. I tried a number of remedies
to no avail until I used One Minute
Congh Care. Four bottles of this
wonderful remedy cared me entirely of
the congh, strengthened my lungs and
restored me to my normal weight,

A Sad Death.
MTS. Fannie White, the be
loved young wife of A. H. White
of Nola, died on Thursday, March
10, leaving a devoted husband and
four little ones, aged seven, five,
three years, and 6 days old, re
spectively,to mourn their irrepara
ble loss.
Mrs. White was, formerly,
Miss Fannie McTargett and was
reared in the family of her father
in-law, the husband and wife thus
having been associated throughout
the greater part of their lives. She
had been a consecrated member of
the Holly Springs Baptist church,
and exemplified her faith in her
life of devotion to duty and the
cause of Christ. At the early age
of 24,Mrs. White was called upon
to leave her earthly bouse and to
enter mansions prepared for such
asjshe in the glorified Kingdom.
The funeral services were con
ducted yesterday at Shiloh church
by the pastor,Kev. J. P. Hemby,
and were attended by a large gath
ering of relatives and sympathiz
ing friends, with whom the
Leader unites in commiseration in
this welT nigh overwbeming sor
row. May the“ grace suftcient”
attend the bereaved.
Do You Want Strength?
If you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from
the physical. In other words, the
food that you eat must be digested,
assimilated and appropriated by the
nerves, blood and tissues before being
expelled from the intestines. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure adds to the physical.
It gives strength to and builds up the
strength in the human system. It
is pleastnt to the taste and palatable,
and the only combination of digestants
that will digest the food and enable
the system to appropriate all of its
health and health-giving qualities.

A Pretty Wedding.
A more beautiful ceiemony
was never perfoimed in our city
than that of last Wednesday even
ing, when Dr. I. Lewinthal in
words, glowing and eloquent, pro
nounced the bonds that united for
life, Miss Esther Priebatsch, of
this city and Mr.Henry C. Green
wood, of Washington, D. C.
The spotless walls of Temple
B’nai Sholom,illuminated by myr
iads of electric lights, appeared
a fitting canvas, upon which the
deft brush of the painter had left
in living green exquisite palms,
ferns and bowers of graceful gar
lands. In the centre , the same
hand had placed a lover’s knot of
bride’s roses and pink carnations,
suspended by ribbons of satin
sheen , and the eye rested and was
refreshed until the scene became
animated by the crowning glory
of creation and emotion began to
quiver into oeing.
First appeared the commanding
figure of the distinguished Rabbi,
who is an uncle of the bride; then
is Lohengrin’s wedding march de
scended in floods of melody, the
painters brush swept in grace
ful curves and richer tones
of life and" love, when Mrs.
A. H. Simon matron of hon
or, Miss Adele Priebatsch, maid
of honor, and Misses Ritchie
Wilson and Stella Benjaraine,
bridemaids, each gowned in ex
quisite, softly flowing robes of
white and carrying great bunches
of pink carnations tied with
streamers of pink ribbon, stood
within the bower of beauteous
green. The scene was perfected
when the groom advanced, and the
bride, supported by her brother
Leon, took her place beside her
acceptd lover. Mr. Moses Green
wood of.New York, was best man,
and Messrs Julius Priebatsch and
Max Lewinthal acted in the capac
ity of ushers. The wedding march
was played by Mrs. Claude
Bowen and Miss Vivion.
Mrs. Greenwood, who is a tail
And graceful brunette, appeared a
typical bride in white chiffon
over white taffeta, with veil and
all desirable and admirable acces
sories. The appearance of the
whole party waif highly eulogized.
After the ceremony a dinner
was served at the home of the
bride’s mother,Mrs.M. Priebatsch,
after which the young couple left
for a bridal tour to prominent
cities and places North and East.
Sumptuous wedding gifts attest
ed the esteem in which the fair
bride is held in this .city, -.where
she was born and reared and
where there are none who know
aught to mar her beautiful charac
ter and deserved reputation for all
that is womanly and lovable.
The Leader extends its pro
found good wishes.
Mr. A. J. Martin, of Bogue
Chitto , was a valued caller on
Thursday. If Mr. Martin didn’t
go about telling people he is
three score and ten years o( age,
no one would ever suspect it.
