How to Ward off an Attack
of Rheumatism.
“For years when spring time
came on and I went into garden¬
ing, I was sure to have an attack
of Rheumatism and every attack
was more severe than the preced¬
ing one,” fiavs Josio McDonald, of
Man, Logan county, West Va. “I
tried everything with no relief
whatever, until 1 procured a bot¬
tle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm,
and the first application gave me
ease, and before the first bottle
was used 1 felt like a new person.
Now / feel that I am cured, but 1
always keep a bottle of Chamber¬
lain’s Pain Balm in the house,
and Mien I feel any symptoms of
a return I soon drive it away with
one or two application of tiiis
liniment.

inga long and useful life here on
earth his soul took its flight to u
brighter and better chine on ill*
night of April 1st, 1901. Ilia lifi
was a nobl » one, filling every sta-
tion with commendation. lie wa
married to Miss Nancy Gordon it
1859.
As a citizen of this county ho
was all that could bo asked.—4
good man has gone. Lotus
uro the lesson his ule lei t us. the
world is belter by his life, but ho
has finished his work and his life
is ended. Snail we mourn and
weep fer our loved one whose face
we shall ... no longer . behold . . ,, on ,, this ■
earth? We are comforted by the
sweet hope of meeting him again
in the City of God.

to march bravely' to the front and

The grand old men of this

Mr. King was the last surviv¬
ing member of a family of one
brother and several sisters. He
leaves a wife, six children and a
host of friends and relatives to
lament his loss. The negroes even
came in numbers to show their
respect tor the man whoso life
they knew had been a real bene¬
faction. lie died without- an en¬
emy. Just before bis death ln-
said: “All I want in this world
is the good will of everybody.” He
had nothing concealed in his na¬
ture. Honest anil conscientious
he ever spoke that which was lip-
pennant in fits mind. Yet., to all
who knew him best, lie was known
to be ns tender-hearted as a child,
His funeral was preached by
Eider J>>hn Gresham. lie was laid
the family burying ground,
there beneath the sod and tin'
dew wit li the heavens above ns a
canopy and the gleaming stars as
sentinels when night overshadows

save the voices of the night, where

who sorrow we extend our heart-

happiness, and in all the rela¬

In this death do we but recog¬
nize another link in the golden
chain severed on earth to be unit¬
ed in heaven. While we cherish
his memory wo shall iikewis) cher¬
ish this recollection : Asa father
he was thoughtful, kind and in¬
dulgent. The esteem in which he
was held in the community was
manifested by the large number
of friends that followed him to
the grave to look upon this noble
man for tlie last lime on earth.

There would be no difficulty In ob¬
taining tt. and he had promised when
she married to settle a third of tits
property upon her. All we had to do
was to lmnior him until after Die settle¬
ment, which would occur simultaneous¬
ly with the marriage.
“I passed six months of torture. I
listened to the old man’s stale jokes,
rode out with him in summer under
furs and in winter with not even n lap
robe. I enjoyed music which lie de¬
tested, so I heard none, i liked to go
to the theater, bat ns lie condemned
theaters and actors I did not dare show
my face in a piny house. But tlio crown
of deprivations was the giving up of
smoking. Sly fiancee informed me on
the first day of our engagement that to
smoke in her father's presence would
be like shaking n red rag before a mad
bull. To show her how much I loved
her I agreed not to smoke tilt after the
wedding. This she commended highly,
and I took Die first opportunity to In¬
form her father that I did not smoke.
“Tlie time spent without my beloved
cigars was maddening. Nevertheless i
refrained, and when my wedding day
came I was as free from nicotine as a
baby. When I awoke on that mo¬
mentous day I admit my chief joy was
not that I was going to be married,
though I loved my fiancee desperately,

were made, the marriage ceremony

bride to be had assented.
“We were to be married at 12 noon in
presence only of the family. The eccen¬
tric father had a horror of large wed¬
dings and would consent only to a pri¬
vate one. I went to my room at lb
o’clock to dress. My toilet was com¬
pleted in half an hour, and I had noth¬
ing to do till 11 I had bought a box
of the host cigars I could find, and they
were on my mantel. I took out a num¬

‘I liave uu Uotir here alone. At Dio

be made. Wluit risk is there in my
smoking here alone?’ I bit off the end
of tlio cigar, scratched a match and
lighted it. Then I threw myself Into
the arms of an easy chair and the unns
of delight at the same time.
“I finished tlie cigar ut 11:20 and hur¬
ried away, reaching the house In twen¬

but broke down.
“‘Give my daughter to a innii who

“I argued that tlie preparations had
gone too far to retreat.
“ Tt is never too late to retreat from
a bad bargain. Tlio marriage shall
not take place, or, if It does, my daugh¬
