MARGARET WARD WEDDELL
Passed into the rest or God April 26th,
1912, a rare and lovely character.
Though handicapped more heavily than
most, she bore her burden and fought
her fight cheerfully, patiently and with
rare unconsciousness; so sweet, so unselfish,
so eager to be doing good to
others.
For many years she helped Mrs. Buford
in her work among the colored people,
where she so faithfully, so generally
helpful, so bright, attractive and
intelligent that she won all hearts.
Through all these years "Miss Mag"
was an honored name, and her figure
familiar and beloved by white and
black in that part of Brunswick county.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the
Ix>rd; yea saith the spirit, for they rest
from their laJbors."
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
By Gerrardstown Session to Elders
.Tas. W. Campbell and E. S.
Hensbaw.
Whereas God, in bis all-wise Providence
has seen fit to remove from among
us by death two of our most esteemed
members, Jas, W. Campbell and E. S.
Henshaw, we, the Session of Gerrardstown
Presbyterian church, desire to put
on Tecord the following resolutions:
1. That we recognize God's sovereign
right to rule in and over us and therefore
humbly but sorrowfully bow to his
holy will.
2. That in the death of these two
brethren we feel most keenly the all,
but irreparable loss that befalls us.
To lose two men of such character
in the space of two weeks is unusual
and comes as a decided shock. Each had
served as deacon for a number of years.
Mr. Campbell had served as Elder for
nearly ten years and Mr. Henshaw for
nearly two. In both offices they were
efficient, devoted, and conscientious,
winning the esteem and confidence of
the whole church and community. They
were wise in counsel, prudent in speech
and conduct, earnest and active in the
performance of duty, and full of love
for the interests of our church and the
whole Kingdom of God. In their bearing
toward us as fellow office-bearers
.they were invariably kind, courteous,
and considerate.
3. That these resolutions be read to
the congregation, a copy sent to the
secular and religious papers, and also

The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Master's joy.
The voice at evening came;
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame;
'He fell but felt no fear.
The pains of death are past;
Labor and sorrow cease;
And life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.

OCR NEW PREACHER.
He came to us some three weeks ago,
after our impatient waiting, and is one
of the sweetest men I ever knew! We
Ilrst hear of him through the newspapers
and concluded at once to bring
him to us, as soon as -we could defcently
get rid of slow old Mr. Sincere,
\uVin hoc Hoon wUK no Pn M
uu uuu uctil njiu UO iui II 1 ICC 11 D,
and would insist upon preaching those
old-fashioned sermons about " Sin,"
'Our Need of Jesus Christ," "Be not
conformed to this world," and who continually
declared that he believed Satan
to be a real live, personal devil, and
that there was an eternal hell for those
who persist in unbelief.
Our new preacher is tall and hanBome;
has a perfect "cow-lick" over the
left si'de of his classic face, and wears
clothes, which, I am sure, are not of
the "hand-me-down" kind.
His manners are beyond the point of
progress. He shakes hands with everybody,
every time he gets within shaking
distance, wears a smile an angel might
envy (In keeping with the brightness
of his deep-set gray eyes), and his
sweet, "I-do-hope-you-are-well," fairly
melts the heart!
ECONOMY AND HEALTH IN HERO.
It is usually ilie case for each and
every added advantage of quality you
pay an added price, no matter what the
commodity may be.
It will therefore be good news to the
housekeepers to know that It is possible
to have added quality and at the same
time a reduced cost in making the
coffee for the family.
Quality in a cup of coffee consists of
the excellence of its flavor, and in
wholesomeness. Both of these valuable
qualities are secured when HERO
Coffee and Chicory Compound are used.
HERO consists of the best grade of
coffee compounded with highest grade
specially processed chicory. This processed
chicory has both flavor and
aroma of flne coffee, but is more wholesome,
indeed is recognized by highest
medical authorities as a tonic, helpful
to digestion and increasing the appetite.
Its presence therefore in the coffee enables
those whose constitutions cannot
stand the ordinary coffee, to drink unusual
amounts when the HHRO brand
is used, and absolutely without injury.
This will no doubt be very pleasant
news to those who love good coffee but
fear to drink as much as they would
like.
The presence of the processed chicory
also gives a rticher, ' more enjoyable
flavor, at the same time increasing the
r? won nrlVi
D 11 CU51U.
For this reason all housekeepers
using HiERO brand should be careful to
use only one-half as much as they are
accustomed to use when making coffee
from ordinary brands. If this caution is
forgotten or disregarded the resulting
beverage will be too strong to be enjoyable
and the good features of HERO
will be obscured.
IHere is where the economy of using
"Hero" comes in. You use but half as
much as you would use of ordinary
coffee to make a given volume of the
best beverage. 80 you not only get a
more wholesome and also a delightful
cup, but in addition the cost of
America's most popular morning cup
is cut in half.
Good housekeepers will appreciate
these points and insist upon the grocer
supplying HERO. There can be no
thoroughly satisfactory substitute.

NEW YORK, Special.?In view of the

for the drink habit, an association of
New York business men is co-operating
to help victims of this degrading and
ruinous habit to overcome it in the
privacy of their own homes.
To carry out this purpose, the Renova

York, has volunteered to distrbute freely
a trial supply of the remedy, which,
it is asserted, can he used with equal
success without the knowledge of the

The claims made for the treatment
having been fully substantiated, press
