In Loving Memory. Of Mrs. Evaline Worley who departed this life May 21, 1917 Her remains were laid to rest at Zion Hill cemetery Tuesday. She was 78 years, 5 months and 1 day old when the Lord saw fit to call her home where there will be no more sad parting nor tears shed. Oh, how sad it was to give grandmother up but :we know she is better off. She sure did suffer until death, i She leaves seven children, 5 boys and two girls and several | grandchildren and other rela tives and friends to mourn her loss. She was loved by all who knew her, and will be missed by ! all. Oh, how sad it was to think we can never see grandmother again but if we live as she did we can meet her on yonder shore where there will be no sad parting. Oh blessed Lord may we live a true Christian life in this world, may we live such a life that when we are called to die we may be able to feel that we can cross that dark river without fear and trembl ing with God’s loving hand to lead us. May we enter on the side with joy safe at home with all our loved ones where we will all be together once more nev er to part again where we wil live together. How sad home is without grandmother. She has paid the debt we all have to pay sooner or later. Poor grandmother was blind about 7 years, oh how sad to give poor grandmother up but the Lord knew' best, but she is better oil than we. She was sick two weeks when we would go to the bed side and ask her how she felt she would say she did not feel any better every time. Oh we loved her, yes we lov ed her but the angels loved her more. We feel sad and lonely to know that we will never, no see her dear face on earth again nor hear her sweet voice any more. She bore her suffering with patience even as a Chris tian should for she knew the time would come when her dear Lord would call her home where all would be peace and love, where there is no suffering nor death. A precious one from us is gone, a voice wo loved is still, a place is vacant in our home that never can be filled, peaceful in the grave so low thou art wait ing for the dear ones here, we will join her in the heavenly land no more to take the part ing hand. She died at the home of her son R. R. Worley. The funeral services was con ducted by Revs. G. W. Forrist and J. L. Wyatt. Written by her grand-child ren, Minnie and Desser Worley and Maggie Sewell, In Loving Memory. Of Carroll, the nine months old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Bales, who deuarted this life on May 9th, 1917. He was sick practically all of his life but the constant atten tion required by him endeared him to his family as no other thing could have done. During his last days of sickness he suf fered much but bore it with much fortitude. We would say to the father, mother, brothers and sisters to weep not for him as one that has no hope. While it is very hard to give him up w T e must remember that it is the will of Him who said, “Suffer the lit tle childre to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdo mof heaven. Carroll can not come back to us, but we,thru the tender mer cies of an omnipotent God can go to him. If he could speak to us he would say, “Do not weep for me for I am better off than you for while you are in the oldsin ful world, I am basking in the sun light of God's love. Let us ever be ready to meet Carroll, no matter at what hour we are called to the skies, for if that op portunity is lost we will never see him again. His Uncle, Jesse Bales. .. In Memory. On April 28, 1917, Robert Dinsmore passed into the Great Beyond. He had been sick sev eral weeks, and tongue can not tell what he suffered. God in His infinite wisdom has called Robert from our midst to His golden home above prepared for His among he will forever be a bright star, a gleaming light, guiding those left behind to the brighter home above. He was a consistent I Christian and was always kind to others. He joined Union Hill Baptist church in the year 1910 A short while before he died he called his loved ones to his bed side and told them to meet him in heaven. He said he wanted i them to sing “We Shall Meet In That beautiful Land” as they carried his body from the church to the grave. He did not fear death. He expressed his willingness to die and talk ed several times of dying. His body was laid to rest in the Hopewell cemetery after servi ces conducted by Rev. R. A. Ro per. Call not back the dear departed Anchored safe where storms are o’er. On the border land we left him, Soon to meet and jfart no more. When we leave this world of changes, When we leave this world of care. We shall find our missing loved one In our Father’s mansion fair; Dear Robert, thou hast left us. And our loss we deeply feel, But ’tis God that has bereft us~ He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again w’e hope to meet thee When the day of life isfied, When in Heaven in joy to greet thee, Where no farew ell tear is shed We extend to the bereaved C. B. GWIN HAS GAINED 30 POUNDS Produce Man Had Rheumatism So Bad His Muscles Felt Like They Were Tied in a Knot. “Yes, sir, it is a fact when I tell you that I have gained thir ty pounds on Tanlac, and am now able to do about twice the amount of work I have been able to do at anytimO'during the past ten years,” said Mr. C. B. Gwin, the well-known produce man of Amory, Miss., in telling of the wonderful results he had obtained from Tanlac. “I have been in a general run down condition for sometime,” continued Mr. Gwin, “and suf fered principally with rheuma tism. My whole system seemed rundown, deilitated, I could not sleep at night and I would feel in the morning just as fatigued tvs I did upon going to bed at night. My digestion became ef fected and I couldn’t eat. At tacks of violent headaches were frequent, and my nervous sys tem seemed to be all disorder ed. The rheumatism was so severe at times my muscles seemed as if they were t:od up in a knot. I lost a good deal in weight and it looked like I was getting weaker and weak er every day. “I was persuaded to try Tan lac and I got a bottle of the med icine. It is certainly making a new man of me. I can now eat and sleep better than I have in j years. My rheumatism has all ( gone and I feel strong and built up in every way. I am a well man and certainly am thankful that I found out about this won derful medicine. As I have al ready said, I have gained thir ty pounds in six weeks’ time, and I feel stronger and better than I have in years. Tanlac has certainly straightened me out, and I believe it will do the same thing for anyone else who has the same trouble I had.” Tanlac is sold by: Cumming Drug Store. Also by J. A.

M. AFTER SIX YEARS Gainesville Testimony Remains Unshaken. Time is the best test of truth. Here is a Gainesville story that has Mood the test of time. It is a stt ry with a point which will come slaight home to many of us. Mrs. R. E. Montgomery, 61 W. Myrtle St., Gainesville, Ga., says: “My kidneys acted irreg ularly and ' there was a lot of pain and lameness in my back and hips. I suffered from head aches and sometimes I couldn’t sleep. I used differeent reme dies and tried plasters and lini ments, but nothing brought me relief. I read of Doan’s Kid ney Pills one day and decided to try them as they were high ly recommended. They proved to be just the remedy my system required and in a short time I felt better. I continued taking Doan’s Kidney Pills until I was free from backache and other signs of kidney trouble.” A Later Statement Over six years later, Mrs. Montgomery said: “You may continue to use my former en-* dorsement of Doan’s Kidney Pills. All I said before still holds good. I always keep a sup ply of Doan’s Kidney Pills on hand and whenever I use them I get good results. I have great confidence in this remedy.” 50 cents at all dealers. Fos ter-Milburn Cos., Mfgrs., Buffa lo, N. Y. Adv.
