In Loving Memory.
Of a dear friend, Mrs. Jos- 1
hephine Echols, who departed
this life January the sth, 1917
words cannot tell the sorrow
that filled our hearts when we
heard the death angel had vis
ited that home and took our
friend. I would say to her fam
ily weep not for she is far better
off than we. She was laid to
rest in Sharon cemetery, Rev.
R. H. Thompson conducting the
funeral services. Truly a good
woman is gove, she was always
ready to lend a helping hand
to hose in need. She was never
so busy but what she had time
to visit the sick often, when I
was sick with typhoid fever I
have been cheered by her pleas
ent voice but I will never hear
her sweet voice on earth no
more but I hope some day to
meet my friend on that other
shore.
Oh, how her friends and the
churches will miss her for she
was always ready to speak a
word for the blessed Savior.
She leaves a husband, two
sons, five daughters and a host
of other relatives and friends to
mourn her departeure but we
feel assured that our loss is her
eternal gain. Tis hard to break
the tender cord when love
has bound the heart to speak
the words we must forever part
Not now but in the coming
years it may be in the better
land we’ll read the meaning of
our tears and there sometimes
we’ll understand. God bless
her family and protect them
from harm and shield them
from danger with thy strong
arms.
Dear mother is gone they’ll
see her on earth no more, God
be with them wherever they go
May they be ready thy call to
oby looking to Jesus is the only
true way and meet their dear
mother some bright day in that
sweet home forever to stay a
sleep in Jesus for from thee thy
kindred and thy friends are
thee but thine is still a blessed
sleep from which none ever
wake to weep.
A friend,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local * applications, as they cannot
reach (he .lis. ased portion of the ear.
There is only < ne way to cure deafness,
ami that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by nn inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Kusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the In
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but nn inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.

100-Day Velvet Beans.
This new Velvet Bean is rapidly
forging to the front, both as a for
age and soil-improver. At the low
price at which these can be secured
they are really the cheapest of
summer forage and soil-improving
crops, and their use is likely to in
crease to a very considerable ex
tent in the place of cow peas and
soja beans. We strongly recom
mend their more extensive use.
