In Memorlam “There is no death, the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore.” As the lest Sabbath of the year drew near its close, and the fast falling snow was mantling the earth in its white beauty, the sweet spirit of Miss Bessie Cothran passed through the veiled porta 1 and entered thu bloused realm of her own native heaven as life’s brief dream wore away. Fur more than two years she bad battled bravely, heroically with a dread malady which in defiance of the deep lovs and watchful care of parents and kindred and friends, yielded her up to death. So iong as had she lived beneath the shadow of Azrael’s wings, that at the last be had but to stretch out his re lentless aim and his cold touch fell upon her. Bue was on the verge of woman hood, in the dawn of life’s glorious morning in the hues of that beauty which blooms upon the human form divine. “When youth ite pride of beauty shows, When fairer than spring the colors shine, And sweeter ihan the opening rose.” She bad just passed a happy Christmas and by her cheerfulness had brightened it for those around her. Ever unrepiu ing, uncomplaining her thoughtfulness was for others. She will be missed among her young companions and friends by whom she was so well beloved, in her home of which she was the idol, in the city where her |saiuted life and early death, her fortitude, her resignation and her faith will remain a cherished memory. For her death had no sting, over her the grave achieved no victory. Her’# was the triumph and the vioter’a crown, as she obeyed the summons io quit her happy earthly home for a fairer one in a better land. As the “gate beautiful” opened to receive her, “Her spirit ascended the heavenly portal And the mantie descending hath covered the mortal.” L. U. R. Rev, O. S. Stringflld, of Wakefield, N. C., says: "Five boxes of Japanese Pile Cure cured me after 12 years’ suf* ierng.” For sale by J. T. Crouch & Co. If you are in need of a Woolen Dress of any kind now is the time to buy it, at J.

The successful candidates in yester day’s bailiff election were Messrs. Marion Byars and W. P. McLeod, who were re elected. The election was as exciting as that of last Wednesday aud nearly as many votes were polled, the total being 1067. There were eight candidates in the field, and, together with their friends, they put in a hard day’s work. The result was as follows: Bvars, 647; McLeod, 600; Beard, 220; Carwile, 184; Morgan, 111; Treadaway, 57; Elders, 17; McGhee (lolored), 94.

They have made first-class officers, and will continue to do the work to the sat isfaction of the people STOP THAT COUGH. A Cough Medicine That Always Cure# Permanently. To stop a cough in any other way than to check the secretions ia aa foolish as it is harmful. The true cough medicine is the one that cure# the congested #a#m brauee, and thus stope the discharges, when the oough ceases of ite own accord. The cough medicine that has been found always reliable to remove tbe cause, end thu# stop the cough, is P#-ru na. It contains no opium or narcotic of any kind, and is a sure cure for all kind# of cough. Pe-runa operates directly to heal the congested or inflamed mucous membrane of the air passages and lungs. A tablespoonful before each meal and at bed-time will cure a winter cough per manently and quickly. Two ounces of rook candy added to one bottle of Pe-ru n& and taken as above is the best treat ment in existence for a common cough, the cough of consumption and chronic bronchitis, according to the testimony of the thousands of patients scattered all over the length and breadth of tbe United States. A treatise on coughs, colds, chronic catarrh, consumption, bronchitis, la grippe and pleurisy will be sent free to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Man ufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

Call on him thia week. The Old Time Singing School. In the old colonial days -when the great and the great-great-grandmothers were young the singing school was a well established institution, writes Mary E. Estes in a very accurate article tell ing exactly how "the old time concert” may be reproduced at a church enter tainment in Ladies’ Home Journal. It was usually held in the village school house, the schoolmaster often figuring as the singing master. Thither at reg ular intervals through the long winter months tripped the grandmas with their escorts. Little did they imagine as they lifted up their sweet voices in unison with the strong tenors and bassos that those same airs, even the very gown# they wore, would at tome distant day be reproduced for the benefit of an ap preciative audience. Yet it may be safe ly asserted that with the exception of the colonial tea the old folks’ concert is the most popular of the old time en tertainments. The success of an undertaking of this sort depends largely upon the adapta bility for her office of the person hav ing the affair in hand. Sho must of ne cessity have an accurate conception o f the manner in which these entertain ments were conducted in onr grand mothers’ day. She must also become thoroughly imbued with the spirit of hat olden time.
