DEATH CAME
TO MB. LEWIS LAMPKIN AFTER
A LONG ILLNESS.
A TRIUMPHANT END
To a Young -Life—Over a
Year of Suffering Pome
With Patience—Funeral
Sunday Afternoon.
Ex-Catholic University Rector
to Succeed Janssens.
WILL GIVE UP HI3 JOB IN SOME
After thirteen montha of constant
pain and Buffering, Lewis J. Lsmpkin,
the eighteen-year-old aon of Mr. and
Mra. Wallace Lampkio, paaaed to his
reward Sunday morning at 5 o’clock.
Daring hla whole life he had been
afflicted and yet bore hia Bufferings with
a Christian pstienea and fortitude that
was charming to behold.
He graduated at the Athene high
school a little over a year aince and on
the very d».’r he received hie diploma
waa confined to hia bed from which ho
never arose again.
Thronghont hia long illness, filled ae
it waa with intense suffering, he never
murmured, and to the very last mo
ment he wa'i oheerful and reaigned.
Be was possessed of a bright mind
and of a lovely disposition, and one of
hie teaobera said of him that the good
influence of hie school life would linger
among hie associates for years to come.
Sunday afternoon at five o’clock at the
First Methodist chnrch the funeral ser
vices were conducted in the presence
of a large number of friends and ac-
quaintancss.
The floral tributes were as lovely ae
were ever seen in Athene, and the
casket waa covered with beautiful flow-
era sent by sorrowing friends.
The eonge were those selected by the
dying boy j net before hia triumphant
entry into the glory world. They were
“Nearer, My .God, to Thee,” “Sweet
By and By,” and “Meet me There.”
The oaeket was borne to the ohanoel
by the eight olasemates of the deceased,
Messrs Denpree Hunnicutt, Wilbur
Hunnicntt, Wilbnr Pope, Balph Goss
Houston Qaillaln, Lncien Boggs, Tom
Ktng and Milton Thomas.
Mr. Foote took as hia text; “In my
Father's house are many mansions.” He
referred to the great interest taken in
architecture by the young boy who had
just passed away, Duriog his long
illness, while confined to h(s bed, he bad
carefully and perfectly constructed two
small model honees, complete and
beautiful in every respect. “How great
mnst have been his j3y,” said Mr,
Foote, “when he entered the celestial
city and viewed the many mansions
prepared by the Father for hie redeem
ed children.”
Dr, Lovejay’s remarks were fall of
consolation. Bespoke of the Christian
life of the young boy, who had
been a consistent member of the
chnrch from his childhood, of the tri
umphant death, after the patience and
fortitude exhibited throngh his long ill
ness. He eaid that the story of suoh a
death and such a life could not fail to
impress itself npon all, and that its good
influence was sure to bo felt in Athens.
Among the last acta of yonng Lewis
Lunpkin’s life was the writing of a
brief letter to hie yonng friends. That
letter contained the essence of hie char
acter and the strong foundations of hie
belief.
In hla weak condition it required oc
casional efforts for three days to com
pose It, the last line being written the
day before he died. Mr. Foote re id this
letter at the funeral of its author and it
oreated a profound impression. It was
ae follows:
* ’Boys and girls, have you ever, amid
the frolios and engagements of this
busy life, stopped long enough to think
ofwhatwonld become of ns if God
shonld suddenly oall ns away withont a
minute’s warning?
“Think of the number who are oalled
npon daily in just this way,-and yet
how many opportunities we, who are in
perfect health, let go by unimproved.
Let us turn again and think of the num
ber who have to lie day by day, month
by month, on beds of siokneas, and are
not able to get about and enjoy many
of the pleasures which we enjoy.
“Yet God does all this for the beet.
Ae time passes what batter time have
we, who have to lie confined npon our
beds of sickness, to repent of onr sins.
“What is more beantifnl than the life
of a pare Christian and the example
left behind them ? We not only save
onr own sonls by living right in this
world, bnt often are the instruments of
the salvation of many.
“Let ne all tarn from oar tins while
we are yonng, for we know not the day
nor the hour when we shell be called
awey. Then It will be too late.”
The funeral exercises were concluded
at the grave, and, according to the
wishes of the deceased, the new-made
monnd of earth was covered with lovely
flowers.

THE GRANDEST REMEDY.
Mr, B. D. Greeve, msrohant, of Chil
howie, Vs,, certifies that he bad eon
snmption, waa given up to die, sought
all medical treatment that money could
proonre, tried all oongh remedies he
could hear of, but got no relief, spent
many nighta Bitting up In a chair; waa
induced to try Dr. King’s New Discov<
ery, and waa cored by use of two bot
tles. For past three years has been at
tending to bnsiness, and says Dr,
housework. I could hardly stand up and
had dizzy spell* I wanted to sleep all the
time and was treated by several of the best
physician* I would have the most fearful
cramp, for which hot applications were used.
I used these hot applications until I blist
ered myself severely.
“Before our child was born I bad been a
strong, healthy woman and was scarcely ever
sick. After lie was born I grew weak and
thin, and received scarcely any help from
the medicine left by the doctors. They said
I was not properly cared for and that the
baby was too strong for me. My back seemed
to be breaking and I was scarcely ever with
out a severe headache. Could not tell you
how many different prescriptions I have taken,
bnt every doctor had a different plan of treat
ing my case. I wore supports and laid for
weeks with my limbs elevated, bnt withont
avail. One day my husband suggested that
I try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,
as he had read several articles in the.'paper
abont women who had been helped by them.
I was discouraged and thought I mnst always
be an invalid, but said I would try them
after I had taken the bottle of medicine I
was then using.
“A few days after he brought me in a box
and asked me to give them a trial- I started
taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People that day and put the other medicine
away, thinking it would please him if I tned
the pills. Before I had taken one box 1 telt
better. My husband noticed the improve
ment and bought two more boxes. I kept
on using them until I had taken four boxes,
and I was entirely cured.
“ I keep them in the house now and use
them occasionally, as they are a great help
to all women. You would not have known
me two years ago. Wliat I am to-day is
oi.-ing to Dr. williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People.” v
