Rev. W. A. Huckabee, of

A protracted menting has been
going on at the Methodist church
for some days, though it seems not
to be generally known. Beginning
with the week of prayer last week,
the pastor continued into the pres
ent week. While the congregations
have not been large, they have been
attentive, and we trust good is
being done.

IN riEMORIAn.
Death has again visited the
community and taken one of its
brightest jewels. On Wednesday
evening June 37th at half past
eight o’clock at the home of Mrs.
G. W. Tison the pure spirit of Ed
Cheney winged its. flight to
Heaven. Ed’s death was sureh a
sad blow to th£ community and to
all who knew him. He had won
manv friends in life and- was a true
j
of noble manhood.
Ed has been in feeble health for
some time but none thought the
was so near. All that a loving
wife, father, mother, brother and
sisters with other loved ones and
friends could do was of no avail.
God had said come up higher.
Several years ago his dear mother
passed to the great beyond and he
so often expressed a desire to see
her during his sickness. Ed was
sick but a short while and bore his
sickness with patience and said he
feared not death.
His remains were interred at the
Ellavtille Cemetery. The funeral
services were conducted very im
pressively by Rev. R. F. William
son and D. D. Batem;tii. Pall
bearers were J. R. Williams, J. F.
Stewart, T. B. Rainey. W. H.
Collins, C. H. Wall, L. E. Tondee
and H. J. Williams.
Ed was born Dec. 26th 1866
merried Miss Florence Tison Dec.
1896. He leaves a devoted wife
and two bright little children one
girl and a boy, to whom he was
very devotod and no children ever
loved papa better. Ah, sad is the
lot of little children to whom the
name of father is to them a sad
sweet memoy. Ed joined the church
at a very early age and has always
been a good boy and we deeply
feel our loss but we know tis
heavens gain. Then if .we feel sad
dened what must it be for his com
panion and may she look up amid
her tears and say, Thy will and not
mine be done. 1 have known Ed
for several years and I am glad I
had that privilage and to his be
loved wife whom I have known
and loved from childhood and to
his other friends and loved ones, I
tender my sincere sympathy, and
point them to the lanb of God who
alone can Comfort and heal, and
may God’s spirit guide comfort
and lead you dear Florence until
the final day when God shah gather
up his jewels apid you shall meet
Fd where there will be no more
limning.

DIED.
On last Friday mornieg, at about
7 o’clock, Mr. John M. Thornton,
one of Elltfville’s oldest and most
respected citizens, passed from the
labors of this life to the rest of the
beyond. Perhaps no man more
universally liked ever lived among
us, and the many expressions of
regard as to his life and character
build for him a monument more
beautiful than the work of hands.
He was sick about one week, suf
fering with pneumonia, His
remains were interea at the ceme
tery at Ellaville Saturday morning,
attended by a large concourse of
citizens. The funeral was from the
Baptist church, of which he was
an honored member. The exercises
were conducted by Rev6. Sanborn,
of the Baptist, and Bateman, of the
Methodist churches.
Mr. Isaac Hart, another of our
old and honored citizens, passed
away last Monday night at about
12 o’clock, at his home, near
Friendship. He was in his 71st
year,—a ripe old age, but ready for
the harvester. He, too, was a mem
ber in high regard, of the Baptist
ceurch, and the funeral exercises
were conducted by Rev. R. B.
Taylor at Quebec, last Tuesday
morning.
One by one, sometimes rapidly,
the old guard is passing over to
“fall in” the ranks of the redeemed
soldiers of the cross on the plains
of Heaven. We lament the separa
tion, but we know that our loss is
their gain. To both families be
reaved we extend our sympathies
and condolence.
Talking In Church.
The worst of all kind of sounds
in church is that of human voices
not engaged in the service; worst
in moral trasgression. Even religous
conversation is profanity. Com
ments on the service itself, if
favorable and friendly, are imperti
nent; if critical, are disgraceful;
if comical and calculated to pro
■'i
voke laughter, are infamous. For
all mutual communications that
appear to be neccessary a sufficient
forethought would in most in
stances obviate the necessity. If
those who whisper would think
first they would commonly see that
no serious harm would come to
keeping still till after the service.
The insult lies against the author
ities of the church, against the
congregation.. A> whisper reaches
farther than the whisperer imagines
And whenever it reaches it may
rightly stir up indignation. It is a
form of ill manners tlfe deplorable
because it is scarcely capable of
rebuke or suppression by any other
means than a general sense of good
behavior and a right education.
The above is clipped from the
Montezuma Record. We do not
know how it is over that way, but
the item would fit in at least one
other place we know, and we en
dorse every word of it.
Mr6. R. J. Perry and infant boy,
and M?s. Wm. McGarrah and Mrs.
W. A. Perry, all of the Andrew
Chapel community, and who have
been quite sick, are now reported
better. Their many friends will be
glad to know of their improvement.

WHITE MAN TURNED YELLOW.
Great consternation was felt by the
friends of N. A. Hogarty of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw he was turning yel
low. His skin slowly changed color, also
his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was
treated by the best doctors, but without
benefit. Then he was advised to try
Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach
and Liver remedy, and he writes: After
taking two bottles I was wholly cured.”
A trial proves its matchless merit for
all stomach, liver and kidney troubles.

Starvation never yet cured dyspepsia.
Persons with indigestion are already half
starved. They need plenty of wholesome
food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests
what you eat so the body can be nourish
ed while the worn out organs are being
reconstructed. It is the only preparation
known that will instantly relieve and
completely cure all stomach troubles.
Try it if you are suffering fiotn indiges

Neglect is the short step so many take
from a cough or cold to consumption.
The early use of One Minute Cough

only harmless remedy that gives imme

endorse it. Biidges Bros.
