In SXCemory of
j4unt Susan Walker.
As the la*t rays of the sunsets
radiant glow disappeared behind
the western horizon on April 2tth,
the gentle spirit of aunt Susan Wal
ker looked its tether and took its
flight to the great beyond.
fn t!»e <teith of this good old wo
man, the community feels a genu
ine an i sincere Itereavemeiit, for she
was indeed a frien I to every one
and sfH-nt her life in her humble
way relieving the sick and distress
ed an d smoothing the paths of those
in trouble.
VVe can contemplate her life with
pleasure and profit. Her simple
child-like faith, molest, unpreten
tious life and unselfish devotion to
humanity, won for her a place in
the hearts of those of her generation
and an entrance into eternal rest
aid peace. She represented the
finest type of the simple hearted,
true and faithful ante helium mam
mies, who are too rapidly passing
into history a d will soon only l>e
known in tradition and song. Only
the real Southern man “to the
manor born” can appreciate the
patience, gentleness and loyalty of
those good old mammies who were
never known to betray their trusts.
I am assured, l but express the
sentiment of every one in our com
munity, when I extend to the hus
band, Old Man Joe Walker, our
tendcrest sympathies. He has passed
the 7 tth, mile post and his face, too,
is turned to the setting sum, hut we
wish for his continuance with us
many days.
Hi> life and example, like his
good wife’s has been worth much to
his race.
During the troublesome times, im
mediately after the war, he publicly
announ-ed (when importuned by
some of his race to run for the legis
lature) “1 do not know anything
about government affairs The white
people of this country have always
been kind and good to me. 1 will
vote as they vote, and trust them
until I die.” He lias never voted
anything but a democratic and pro
hibition ticket.
With the exception of'one or two
years after the negroes were enfran
chised they have taken very little
interest in politics in Walker’s dis
trict and then they invariably voted
with the white people.
1 cannot recall a -murder trial
from this district in forty years nor
a dozen felony eases in this time.
There has never been the slightest
race trouble, though it is one of the
most populous negro districts in the
country. lam sure their financial
condition equals any section of the
county or perhaps the state.
We believe this very satisfactory
race condition has been due largely
to this old man and several good
colored men in the district. We
have penned the above linesas a just
tribute to two old colored people.
One has passed over the river and
the other lingers hard by. It is our
earnest desire to let the old man
know that his life, on right lines,
has been appreciated by his people,
which will give him comfort in his
lonliness and nerve him to continue
his work until lie too, will he claim
ed by the reaper. T. D. Walker.
The High Cost of Living.
Increases the price of many ne
cessities without improving the
quality. Foley’s Honey and Tar
maintains its high standard of ex
cellence and its great curative quali
ties without any increase in cost.
It is the best remedy for coughs,
colds, croup, whooping cough and
all ailments of the throat, chest
and lungs. The genuine is in a yel
low package. Refuse substitutes.

1 For a long time I was bothered
with backache and pains across my
kidneys. About two months ago I
started taking Foley Kidney Pills
and soon saw they were doing just
as claimed. I kept on taking them
and now lam free from backache,
and the painful bladder misery is
all gone. I like Foley Kidney Pills
so well that I have told many of my
friends and comrades alxrnt them
and shall recommend them at every
opportunity.” Taylor & Kennington
