Don’t you grow weary of the Extravagant clothes talk in
newspapers?
Isn’t it refreshing to read the “ad” of a clothing house that,
not proclaim that some manufacturer is “busted”?
Isn’t it refreshing to trade with a house that docs not proclaim
we are the ouly “it” in town—the greatest it, etc?
Isn’t it refreshing that we do not advertise we are over stocked?
We have many refreshing suits here that are a pleasure to bIiow and
sell you, and that will be a pleasure for you to wear. Can't wo ex¬
pect you for a look?

Death of Mr*. Adams.
Mrs. Nannie Adams was bom
September 24, 1846, and departed
this life May 22, 1904. She was
confined to her bed about three
months, and while her sufferings
were severe aud intense she con-
ceded this to God’s purpose and
was submissive to His will. She
was never known at any lime to
murmur or complain and bore her
hM ictions with remarkable cour-
age and great fortitude. Surely
she could say ns of old, “1 can do
all things iu Christ who strength-
-netli me.” “For this God is our
God for now aud ever. He will be
our guide even uiilo death.”
She was married to Mr. J. A.
Adams December 18, 1882, and
their union has been one of heart
and mind. She was always his
private counselor uud present help
iu time of need.
She joined the Primitive Bap-
tist church at County Line in
1873 and proved her faith by her
works. She always kept her light
from under the bushel, and the
church and lur many friends tef-
tify of her good works and wo aro
satisfied that God is glorified. The
life she lived is a shining example
and adorns the tomb, a lasting
monument to her memory. The
great beauty of this noble life is
that it was so accptable with God
that He did not forsake her in the
seventh trouble, for she left suf-
ficient evidence that all was well,
that she had received the sum-
mons, “Child, thy Father calls;
come home.” She told her heart-
stricken husband a few days be-
fore her death that all would bo
Sunday, that she regretted to
leave dear one3 here but had no
tears to shed. Suid her feet were
in a cool spring and that ic was
iuexpressably sweet. “Blcesed are
they that die iu the Lord.”
Therefore we would say to tho
bereaved, weep not, for she has
gone to a reward of righteousness
and to wear a crown not made
with hands.
“For God hath called her to the
banquet, hath freely given
Love divine ;
Wrought for thee n wedding gar¬
ment
For the marriage feast in heaven.”
Her remains were committed to
the family cemetery in tho pres-
ence of a large concourso of relia-
tives and friends. Elder J. II.
Gresham preached comforting and
instructive words to ail present,
May God visit the bereaved
His consoling spirit is our
Gko. C. Adams.
