A Tribute to tito Memory
of Capt. II. 1$. liitlley.
On Wednesday, March 28, our
f ,ld neighbor and dear
Capt. Ridley, left ns to return no
more, but not without a message
love and a noble lesson of love,
For seventy-six years (his age)
lived in Jones and Jasper coun-
ties. Ilis life has been a source of
pleasure fo all with whom lie was
associated, and bis death ts an oc-
casion of great sorrow to his many
(Tiends and acquaintances,
Tho writer first knew him dor-
r n £ ||;c slop., v days of the civil
war. lie was captain of the Jones
and Jasper Volunteers, a company
ho organized near Cornucopia, and
wthrough the war as their be-
lovtrd cantain. During the dark
times < f reconstruction, when
metre life and liberty was lightly
esteemed, he was a led rock ol
protection to all of our people.
Our people cannot contemplate
these times of trouble and tho
bravestand he took in the atrug-
op. without dropping a tear of
gratitude upon his bier. When
peace was finally restored Jiis
prominence in defending his peo-
pie against Republicanism and
carpet bag rule naturally called
hint to the front to aid in the for-
mation of a new constitution. Be¬
sides his work in the constitution¬
al convention of 1870 his services
wore repeatedly demanded by the
people as representative from
Jones county and senator from
the 21st senatorial district, all of
which duties he discharged with
distinguished ability, As a so!-
dier, Democrat and law maker of
our enmity's best men.
Ilis r . private . . life , , none the .,
was
l 08 s marked; , . lie . was generous, , hos-
pitable and chivalrous. lie was a
frioml to the weak a father to tho
and orphan, and Ins . . chan- . .
ty lias preceeded him to the
boundless realms of eternity.

Having happened in a small V ir¬

it is a story very much of the
present. Up to a very short time
ago Mrs. John E. Harmon, of
Melfa Station, Va., had no per¬
sonal knowledge of Chamberlain’s the rare cura¬

Cough remedy. “Last January, 1 f
she says, “my baby took a dread¬
