I am proud to recommend Cheney’s Expectorant as a cure for coughs and colds. I have used it with my children since the oldest was a baby, and have never known it to fail. Mrs. Sarah L. Morrow. Hopkins Ferry, Miss. In Memoriam. On Nov. sth, 1902, the sweet and gentle spirit of Mrs. Cathe rine FI. Ferguson, wife of James M. F'erguson, was called from this earthly home to a home above, where all is love. She was born the 20th of May, 1829. She was converted when quite young ’and joined the Missionary baptist, church nearly 60 years ago. She always loved to go to church, and her house was the preacher’s home. She has been a great sufferer for two years, yet she bore it with Christian fortitude. Of her it may he said : she was a great wo man, a devoted wife and mother, a true friend and good neighbor. We feel like our loss is her gain. While we miss her so much we be lieve she is in that home above, j where she is free from pain and trouble, basking in the love of 1 God and sweetly waiting the res urection morn, when we shall all be united. Farewell dear friend fora while, we feel that we are better by your being with us. Much might be said about this good woman, her many deeds of gentleness and kindness will live long years to come. For her it was a pleasure to labor for the comfort and pleas ure of others. It can truly be said that she was a good woman. May we fol low the example she set before us, and we will some day see her again when the shadows are lifted and the mist is cleared away. If faithful, we too shall behold a glorious eternity. We extend our heart felt sympathy to the bereav ed ones. A Friend. “More haste, less speed,” and “hasten slowly,” are proverbs born of experience that some t ilings can’t be hurried without loss and waste. That is special} 7 t rue of eating. The railway lunch habit, “five minutes for refresh ments,” is a habit most disastrous to the health. You may hurry your eating. You can’t hurry your di gestion, mid the neglect to allow proper time for this important function is the beginning of sor rows to many a busy man. When the tongue is foul, the head aches, when there are sour or bitter risings, undue fullness after eat ing, hot flushes, nervousness, ir ritability, cold extremities, and other annoying symptoms, lie sure the stomach and organs of diges tion and nutrition have “broken down.” Nothing will re-establish them in active healthy operation so quickly as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It strength ens the stomach, nourishes the the nerves, purifies the blood, and builds up the body. It is a strict ly temperance medicine containing no alcohol or other intoxicant. Given away.

THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE TH# THUQ* NOVEMBER 20, 1902 Freeze Out The Coal Barons. Soon as the weather gets raw the coal man begins to put ou airs. Only a few years ago coal as a fuel was unknown in this part of the country and people sulfered less from cold weather than they do now. The blue blaze of the big Soak and hickory logs licked up at the back of the big open chimney and there was comfort around such a family fireside. Coal is a modern innovation and the tendency of our people is to buy everything with nothing to sell. Of course it requires labor to cut and house wood, and it takes hard labor to mine coal, but what is the use to send every dollar we make out of the country for something we can produce or utilize at home. Lazi ness among whites and negroes is the principal reason why coal is used in place of wood. Many farmers could add considerable to their income every winter by sell ing the wood which is rotting and going to waste on their farms. In the spring logs that are in the way of the plow in the fields, are piled in great heaps and burned. Why burn up money in such a foolish way? Buy a saw and a gasoline engine which can be operated on a wagon in the woods and cut the wood ready for market. Up North and in the West where wood is scarce necessity forces people to buy coal as there is no wood, but down here in Georgia, we can live comfortably without a single lump of coal for the next one hundred years. People ought not to buy a lump of coal this winter if they can help it. Use wood if you can get it and leave the money at home. —Ameri- cus Herald. Stataof Ohio, City of Tolede, ) gg Lucas County.

Here is a story of the Civil War brought out by the erection at Nashville, Tenn., of a monument to the memory of a young Con federate soldier, who was lmnged as a spy by the Union forces. The soldier’s name was Samuel Davis. He was a scout in the service of Gen. Braxton Bragg, and by some clever work of disguise, coupled with nerve, managed to get from a Federal soldier information as to the strength of the Union forces posted around Pulaki, Tenn., at which point Gen. Grantville M. Dodge was in command. Davis had the ill luck to be captured, and on his person were found papers that revealed the informa tion he had gleaned, and which he intended to convey to the Confed erate general. The young scout was imprisoned, and all sorts of persuasions and threats were em ployed to get him to reveal the name of his informant. He was assured that no harm would come to him if he disclosed it, but that dentil, should he persist in refus ing to tell, would surely be his punishment. “You may hang me ten thousand times,” said the youth, “but you can never make me disclose the identity of the man who gave me the information.” He was hanged as a spy, Gen. Dodge signing the order. But his heroism and faithfulness were not forgotten, and when the project to erect the monument was under way Gen. Dodge sent his check for .fltX) to aid in the movement. —New York Evening post. ASLEEP AMID FLAMES. Breaking into a blazing home, some firemen lately dragged the sleeping in mates from death.

A physicial culturistand beauty specialist, a man who combines the two in his rather expensive course of treatment, gives his patrons these rules for walking: They are, as you will see, super ficial. They do not go to the root of the trouble, but they are effect ive and in a short time. A woman will walk better without know ledge why she does so. If she will merely go by the directions she will improve her carriage a hun dredfold and often this change will be so marked that her friends will comment upon it before she has practiced it a week. For walking: Hold the head up. Lift the chin high. Throw the shoulders back. Inflate the chest. Draw in the abdomen. Take very long steps, probably twice the length of your usual ones. Walk from the knees. Turn the foot almost at right angles with the leg. Practice your walking experi ments iu your own room at first. Lift the skirt high enough, street or room, to allow the use of the foot and leg without tiring. Breathe deeply. This last js most important of all. THE BEST REMEDY FOR CROUP. [From the Atchlnson, Kan , Daily Globe.] This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedy is almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fash ioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlin’s Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to “through up the phlegm” quicker, and gives relif in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough ap pears. and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and saf to take. For sale by J. H. Blackburn. The Largest Family in Georgia.

Self-knowledge will cause self love. Profanity is often a species of insanity. The greedy man always cheats himself. The tllame of lust quenches the light of life. The avalanche always starts with a pebble. Paint on the pipe will not puri fy the water. Permanency of pleasure depends on purity of purpose. Grapes of peace do not grow on thorns of passion. Imitation fruits always cost more than the real ones. A THANKSGIVING DINNER Heavy eating is usually the first cause of indigestion.
