Coy, Jr., of San Antonio, Texas. This
remedy has been in use for many years.
Thousands of mothers keep it at hand,

In Memoriam.
It is with sadness that we chroin
cle the death of our friend and
neighbor Mrs. Porter whom God
saw fit to so sndendly grasp her in
bis arms carry her away to that
celestial city not made with hands
eternal in the heavens.
It was on the 22 day of Oct. 1908
that our Savior said, You have
fought a good fight, the victory is
won. She then folded her arms,
closed her eyes and fell asleep to
wake no more here, but to wake
up in his likeness in glory laud
above. As daughter, son, rela
tives and friends hovered near her
bedside, it seemed as if we could
hear the Arch Augels say, come
up higher and her last gasp were
good byes.
Just a few days before she was
called away she visited our home
with her face all radiant with
smiles, amidst the pains of her
body. Her sufferings were great
for several years, but she bore
them all with christain fortitude.
She was a consiatant member of
the Methodise church and her go
ing away has left an aching void
in the hearts of all who knew her
especially those who knew her
best, loved her most. Oh how
sweet it must be for her to walk
the paved streets of the new Jer
usalem with husband, daughter,
father, mother, brother and sis
ters who were there ready to greet
her home.
Children and brother you have
our heart felt sympathy. But do
not grieve her as gone for if you
follow in her foot steps yon will
one day meet them where parting
in no more. Alone, oh no I am
not left alone, lonely I may be but
I know there's one who loves me
as she loved him and will be all
that an all wise father can to me.
And I trust him through the com
ing years. Even though my heart
aches with flowing tears, walking
by pathes not sight. Just as I
should, knowing that all things
work oat for my good.
Lonely, yes lonely still I am for
oh, I see her vacant chair and miss
her so, I miss her loving glance
and tender tone. How lonely lam
bat not alone. Pray give me
strength to live from day to day
till God sees tit to call me and shall
say :
Come higher child, come near to
thy Lord. O, blessed hope to every
ohristaiu given. To those who

A Letter From Broxton.
Editor Henry Co. Weekly,
Dear Sir ; —As it has been quite
a while since you heard from me I
will write you a few lines; how
ever as I am not a very important
personage they may*find their
way to the waste basket.
We are having pretty, warm
sunshiny weather down here, and
everything at the saw mills, tur
pentine stills and ginnery is in a
rush. We have two railroads here
and six passenger trains daily and
three log trains which haul them
in from about 15 miles out and 5
or G trips every day with five and
six cars of logs.
Some of our merchants claim
that business is very dull while
some others are selling more goods
than they ever sold before.
This is the best county I ever
saw for farming, there is no rocks
and very few hill sides so there is
no need for terraces. The soil is
very fertile and easily worked and
you can raise nearly anything in
the word, and have vegetables the
year round. Crops are all good
this year. Long staple cotton is
bringing 19c. per pound and short
cotton is bringing 8 to 8 l-2c.
I dug one hill of sweet potatoes
last week which was made without
any fertilizer and very little work
and I got 25 pounds of good pota
toes, two of them weighed eight
pounds.
There was five car loads of sheep
three hundred in a car, shipped
from here last spring and two and
a half cars of cows and still there
is a lot of them left.
Wo had a very sacl pathetic
death in our town last Tuesday
night Mr. H. L. Williams the edi
tor of our paper.
Our neighbor, Will Traynham,
says he has more hogs and cows,
potatoes, corn, cotton and pendeis
than he had one year ago, and he
has bought 130 acres of good land
and expects to stay a while longer.
He sold two bales of cotton the
other day at 19 l-2c. per pound.
I preached at the Baptist church
here yesterday morning and then
baptized for them in the afternoon
and I am a little hoarse today.
Nothing preventing, I will be in
McDonough on Monday the 16
th, so I will ring off for this time.
Nov. 9th, ’OB.
Thos, J. Bledsoe.
strive today and who have striven,
look up, hope on, rejoice even
though you weep. Again we’ll
meet those who in Christ now
sleep.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. Atkinson at the
home of her son, Mr. J. P. Porter
in Jonesboro Oct. 24th, 1908. The
remains were laid to rest in the
city cemetery.
A Friend.

You can curt* dypepsia, indigestion, sour
or weak stomach, or in fact any form of
stomach trouble if you will take Kodol oc

need it. Kodol does not have to be taken
all the time. Ordiuarly you only take
Kodol now and then, because it complete

few days or a week or so, the ttoaiach can
digest the food without the aid of Kodol.
Then you don’t need Kodol any longer.
