LIVER DIDN’T ACT
DIGESTION WAS BAD
Siyi 65 year Old Kentucky Lady, Wbo Tells How She Was Relieved
After a Few Doses of Black-Draught.
Meadorsville, Ky.—Mrs. Cynthia
Higginbotham, of this town, says: “At
my age, which is 65, the liver does
not act so well as when young. A few
years ago, my stomach was all out of
fix. I was constipated, my liver
didn’t act. My digestion was bad, and
It took so little to upset me. My ap
petite was gone. I was very weak...
I decided I would give Black-
Draught a thorough trial as I knew It
was highly recommended for this
trouble. I began taking it. I felt
better after a few doses. My appetite
Improved and I became stronger. My
bowels acted naturally and the least
trouble was soon righted with a few
doses of Black-Draught.”
Seventy years of successful use has
made Thedford’s Black-Draught a
standard, household remedy. Every
member, of every family, at times,
need the help that Black-Draught can
; give In cleansing the system and re
lieving the troubles that come from
constipation, indigestion, lazy liver,
etc. You cannot keep well unless your
stomach, liver and bowels are in good
working order. Keep them that way.
j Try Black-Draught. It acts promptly,
gently and in a natural way. If you
feel sluggish, take a dose tonight,
\ You will feel fresh tomorrow. Price

Colored Drafted Men Honored.
Dear Editor: Please allow me
space in your paper to thank the
good colored people of Reynolds
for the reception given in honor
of myself and nine other drafted
men at Bethesada Baptist church.
We had everything to eat that
one could wish for and, too, they
gave us socks, tooth-brushes,
towels, shaving outfits and many
other useful articles too numerous
to mention. They also donated
to us $24.25 in cash.
It has been true everywhere
that there has mounted higher
and higher a patriotism in the
breasts of white men, and a
patriotism as well in the breasts
of colored men. Colored mothers
and colored fathers have sent
their sons off, feeling as the wo
man felt to whom Lincoln wrote:
“That they were not making a
sacrifice at all, but rather that
they were embracing a rare
privilege of serving their country.”
Colored men everywhere are
loyal, patriotic and eager to serve
their country. They are asking
but one thing of their country—
that a square deal and fair play
shall be vouchsafed to them.
We are glad that Secretary
Baker was not afraid to undertake
the experiment of a training camp
for colored men, and was not
afraid to call colored men toarms.
In a very real sense we, too, are
citizens of this republic. No one
can make me feel as we go out in
this great international conflict,
to make the world safe for de
mocracy and make democracy safe
for the world, that within the
triumphant folds of democracy,
when it has been achieved for the
men of Serbia and Roumania,
France, Russia and England, and
even for the men of Germany*
that there is net also to be includ
ed the men of America—the color
ed no less than the white.
Wishing you and your paper
the best of success, I am yours,
WILLIAM GRAY.

The Pneumonia Season.
The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now is the
time to be careful. Pneumonia often
results from a cold. The quicker a
cold is gotten rid of the less the
danger. As soon as the first indica
tion of a cold appears take Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy. As to the
value of this preparation, ask any
one who has used it.
TO MY MOTHER.
By J. J. Shealy. Co. K. 32S Inf.
Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga.
I am thinking of my Mother
And my old home far away,
As I look across the fields
At the closing of the day.
I can feel her presence near me
As I look across the sand,
And I know her love is calling,
From my home in dear old flora
land.
I know that for me she’s praying
As I watch the shadows fall,
And my heart, in tender yearning,
Is at ease with one and all.
For nothing’s like a mother’s love,
No matter where you be;
It will reach out across the fields
Or far aross the sea.
Mother dear, of you I’m thinking,
And my loved ones far away,
And my eyes are getting misty
Since from that love I still must
stay.
But I know that I shall meet you
In a land as fair as day;
Goodbye, my darling mother,
Adieu, it is night and I must pray.
Oh, mother of mine, far away at
home,
I think of you by day
And at night when I lie down to
rest,
Its for you I always pray.
Mother, you have done so much
for me,
In the long years that have flown,
And I know that I can never repay
The kindness you have shown.
You have always been so fair
with me,
So kind, so patient and true,
That if I could have all the world,
My Dear, I had rather have you.
And if the time seems long, my
dear—
The time I am away,
Just be the bravest that you can,
And watch and hope and pray.
And though I go to lands afar,
Across the ocean foams,
I’ll know that I have a mother’s
love
Back in my home, sweet home.
A mother’s love that will keep me
straight
When my feet would wander
astray,
And bear me up with courage
strong
In the time I am away.
And if some day by God’s good
will
We should be together once more,
May ties that bind us now, my
dear,
Be stronger than ever before.

Home Dedicated,
On the first Sunday afternoon
at three o’clock a very beautiful
and impressive service was per
formed m the home of Rev. W. H.
Emerson. Bro. Emerson, having
just completed and moved into his
very pretty and comfortable new
home, desired to dedicate it. Quite
a number of his friends and
neighbors assembled at his home
at the hour above mentioned and
in a few appropriate words Bro.
Emerson made known his reasons
for dedicating his home, after
which the dedication service was
conducted by Elder A. J. Parker,
who after reading a lesson from
the scripture, exhorting us to per
sonal and collective constancy of
devotion to God—in the home and
church—in a few well chosen
words presented to the minds of
the people assembled the reason
why the home should be dedicat
ed, the beauty and the richness of
the faith and confidence and sacri
fice of dedicating—giving the
home to Lord after which Bro.
Emerson and all his family took
upon themselves the necessary
obligations in the dedication of the
home. Then all present, kneeling
with the family there in the altar
ot the home while Elder Parker
offered to God a very earnest
prayer to comfort, bless and keep
the home inviolate from harm-and
evil that had there been dedicated
to Him, in His name and for His
glory.
The congregation was then dis
missed after which some very
beautiful music was rendered by
Bro. Emerson’s family and friends,
then all dispersed, returning to
their homes, feeling very much
refreshed and benefited by this
service. May God bless the home
and keep it forever inviolate to
evil is the prayer of your humble
servant, A. NEIGHBOR.
Musical Program at
Mt Pisgati Sunday.
In connection with the regular
service at Mt Pisgah church, six
miles east of Butler Sunday, a
quartette from Mercer University
will give a program for thirty
minutes or more of music such as
many never have the opportunity
to hear. The quartette has more
invitations than it can possibly ac
cept, and only because the pas
tor is a member of the four were
we fortunate enough to secure
them for Sunday. I have been
with these fellows in several dif
ferent programs recently and can
say that any who can not hear
them will miss a real treat. Ev
erybody invited.
Cordially.

Tired of the Other Kind.

rood girl and we will bring you some-
;hing nice. To which Ardith an
swered : “Don’t bring cloth things this
time, bring playthings.”
