Your committee on memorial
beg leave to submit the following:
On the 7th day of Nov. 1898,

from the golden chain that biiui
ust together. Bro. Dozier ’ : •
born in Warren county sixty-si \ t :
years ago. As a man he was rm
and tried, responding to every call.
We deplore his loss but bow ii
humble submission to the will of
the great Architect of the Universe
under Whose care and keeping we
commend him until we shall meet
him in the Celestial Lodge above
where there will be no more
parting.
Resolved that a blank page be
left on our minutes for the record
ing of these resolutions, and a copy

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a bet
ter article than your competitor if
you can not get a better price for it ?
Ans—As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only
the better, so that while onr profits
maybe smaller on a single sale they
will be much greater in the aggre
gate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best.
If both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public
will very quickly pass judgement
on them and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.The
people have been using it for years
and have found out that it can al
ways be depended upon. They may
occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with ex
aggerated claims, but are certain to
return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs
colds and croup there is nothing
equul to Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. For sale by Dr J N Che
ney – Company.
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy can always
