Now, lard, as you know. Is mads from hog fat It may or may
not ba purs, Cottolsns is always pure, because it contains nothing but
rsfinsd vegetable oil and choice beef ,uet If is always uniform, and
ws guarantee the quality. Besides, it it nsvsr sold in bulk like lard,
but comas in staled tin pails, and is not open to contamination. So
much for purity and healthfuiness.
AS to economy—Cottolsns is richer than lard. It requires, therefore,
but two-third, ths quantity to secure better results. This means economy.
Why not do Justice to your stomach and give it a digestible product
rethsr than an indigestible one? Your grocsr wiU start you right with
a pad of Cottolsns.

By the wey, I know yot

joke won a native of Thomas county. 1
give yon this to allow yon what sort of
folks we have down here.
We have some skeetere here bnt they
don’t bother ns. For the first time In
several years I did not s'eep onder a
skeeter net hero last summer. We have
men from tho north who have more
money tlum they can spend. They
sometimes drop iq here, deposit a good
sized wad tit the hotels and go on. We
ceirtliem skeetere and yon'soe they arc
not so bod. J
Bueixl To be sure we have saalx.
But who does not have them? I am
.'Old that there ere more snnix to the

Hundreds of fellows liave them up there
in their rooms and tlieyactnally get in
to bed with thorn. Down here since we
havo oxpolled barrooms our snaix stay
in the woods nnlesa they get after a
Buck-drinker and ran him into town.
As to niggers. They are great draw
backs when it oomes to work. They
will drawbaok from the field when the
snn is hot, bnt I havo never known one
of'them to draw back from a dish of
possum and tutors, uor to hold book
from a pan fall of fish, nor to tarn his
book on a frolio, and fsw of them will
draw book from a ohiokoa who happens
to be roosting low along the road and
fewer still will drew hook from a dew
ohristened watermelon when it “holl-
ere” at him over the fenoe and smiles
from its bed of grass in the oool of the
morning. /
Yon oomo down, here and see if this
is not the finest oountry yon ever saw,
and as for the people, why they just
can’t bo excelled. And one of them
told me the other day that he was satis
fied that the garden of Eden won in
south Georgia. Come down here and
see for youreolf and you will go book

Brother W. J. Hancock was born In
Chesterfield county. South Carolina,
Jan. 9,1886. He came toThomaacoun-
tyGeorgiain 4892.
He was united with Salem Baptist
ohnroh in July 1898, and from then he
lived a consecrated member of that
ehurch until he by letter untied with
OkapUco Baptist and from that church
to the Berwick Baptist ohnroh where
his membership remained nntii his
death, which ocourred on Feb. 12 1904
after about throe years consistent suf
fering which he borp with much for
titude.
He lived sn humble oliristlan life until
the end came, and died in triumphant
faith In God. His trials and sufferings
have ended. He has rusted over the
river to rest onder' the shades of the
trees,
In his death the community has lost
a good citlaen, the family a faithful
husband and father, the ohnroh an
humble member, and McDonald lodgo
of F. As A. M. one of its brightest lights.
Bnt, while we commend his spirit to
the God who gave it and consigned his
body to the ground, we still cherish
his memory Imre, aud while we meet
him in onr lodgo no more, we hope to
meet him in that celestial home of onr
master and clasp, his hsnd in fraternal
love. '
Therefore be it resolved:
1st. That we'bow in reverence and
submission to onr great Architect who
doeth all things well-
2nd. That we will strive while here
to join him in the Grand Lodge above,
where the spirit of just men are made
perfeot.
3rd. That we wiU spread a mantle of
love aud protection over the bereaved
family aud pray the Lord .to be a hus
band to tbe widow and a father to the
fatherieei. They will be done Oh,
Lord, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Amen. J. M. Shepherd,

The liabUities of the company are

tlie same. The difficulties an attributed
to the heavy withdrawals by the deposi
