This remedy has been in use for many years. Thousands of mothers keep it at hand, and it has never been known to fail. For sale by Horton Drug Co. 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 PAGES S' A year 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.

Kodol does not have to be taken all the time.
