our entire community. Her children
had all reached the year* of maturity,
and had gratified her byanlablishing
their home very near her; and she
had dived to see her grand-children
growing up about her. The tweet in
fluence of her motherly impression
upon the home circle and u,x>n the
many friends who were drawn thither
will live on for long years in the lives
of the loved ones she has left behind.
The deepest sympathy of all pur cit
izens is left for her bereaved husband
and family.

and as he stepped on the cars the
whole company joined in singing
“Sweet by and by.” They theu joined

and the train moved off. He preach

NOT DEAD YET.
Atlanta pc pars art giving ihe public some
curious and wondSrfnt casts that are qnita
interesting. It teems that a young lady of
Atlanta had been reported as dead, but it
came to the cars of the Atlanta Journal that
she was still atira, and being on the slert for
news, a reporter was sent to the residence to
loarn the facts. Miss .Bello Dunaway, who
had been pronounced met him at the
door, atou ly denying tint she was dead.
She said:
“For four years, rheumatism and neuralgia
have resisted physicians and all other treat
ment. My muscles seemod to dry up, my
lle-h shrank away, my joints were swollen,
painful and large, lost my appetite, was re
dreed to flO pounds in weight, and for months
expected to die. I commenced the use
or B. ti. 8., end tho action of one-half a bot
tle convinced my friends that it would euro
me. Its effect was like magic. It gave me
an appetite, gavo me strength, relieved alt
pains and aches, added flesh to mv bones,sod
when fire bottles had beeo used I had gained
50 pounds of flash, and I am fco*dav sound
and well.”
