[ WANT T 0 CLEAN AND REPOLISH
That Monument, Slab, or 'Head and Foot Stone yvou have in
the cemetery to mark the last resting place of your loved
ones. It has become dirty, stained and faded to tne extent
that the dead seems to have almost been forgotten by the
living. Having prepared myself at considerable expense to
do this work, I wish to say that I am ready to do You a
first-class job in every particular without any injury whatever
to the monument, making it look as good and fresh as the
day it -was put up, and at the right price.
Owing to the many different sizes, shapes and conditions
I would have to see the work before I could make a price.
Therefore, 1 ask the small favor that vou let me hear from
vou, after which I will call in person for particulars, either
in town or the country. [ will do one job free in each cem
etery upon the decision of your sexton as to the monument
needing it the worst. Now being a good time to do such
work let me hear from you at once, and let’s get the good
work started. Resnectfully,

CELEBRATED ANNIVERSARY
Interesting and Pleasant Day Was
Spent at Chickasawhatchee Prim
itive Baptist Church Friday.
The celebration on Friday of the
fiftieth anniversary of the Chicka
sawhatchee Primitive Baptist church,
one mile east of Dawson, was a very
interesting event.
At 10 o'clock the exercises
opened with a song service of
thirty minutes, after which Elder
" R. H. Jennings read and commented
on the articles of faith that were
adopted at the constitution of the
church, and for a half century had
begn observed by it. Elder Jennings
‘then gave a brief account of his
knowledge of and association with
the church for the last thirty-five
years, calling to mind the faces of
the good men and women who wor
shiped there when he was a child
and pointing out the good influence
they are even now exerting. He be
seeched the present members to
leave such an inheritance to those
who are coming after them.
The committee on records read
- their report, which showed that the
-¢church in the half century of its ex
istence had had five different pas
-~ tors—Elder Wm. Hubbard, Dr. J. J.
Davis, Elder E. P. Blackshear, Elder
W. T. Everett and Elders R. H. Jen
nings; and also the services as as
sistant pastors of Elder P. L. York
and J. L. Blackshear. There have
been ordained at this church Elders
A. J. Whitten and R. H. Jennings.
The records of the church have
been kept by J. E. Bozeman, John
Berteshaw, J. H. Pierce, R. H. Jen
nings, H. J. L. Adams and the pres
ent clerk, M. Blackshear.
Among the deacons have been M.
P. Giddens, Joe Harreill, J. W. Com
~ mander, J. E. Bozeman, Wm. Jen
nings, J. J. adams, J. K. Battle, all
of whom are dead, and W. R.
Garrett, M. E. Jennings and J. .
Hudson, together with others for a
short time.
Elder W. T. Everett has served
the church twenty-nine years, being
over half of its existence. Wm.
Jennings served as deacon for twen
ty-three years, nearly half of its ex
istence.
At noon the congregation was dis
missed, and a sumptuous dinner
spread on the church yard and en
joyved by the four or five hundred
s people who were present.
After dinner the services were re
sumed with song and prayer, fol
« lowed with short talks for an hour
by members of the church and oth
ers. :
Then came the lesson in the “Old
Saered Harp' four-shaped song book,
led by Mr. Miles Blackshear. Old
gray-headed people. with a few of the
young ones. sang these songs of the
long azo, which was one of the most
enjovable and beneficial features of
the day.
The congregation then sang “God
Be With You Until We Meet Again,”
and were dismissed, all feeling better
for the day's services and wishing
that the church may stand and pros
per for another fifty vears.

BLOOD
We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as our
blood is rich or poor. There is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high we are being re
- freshed—bone, muscle and
brain, in body and mind—with
continual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is
not rest and sleep is not sleep,
- we are starved; our blood is
poor; there is little nutriment
| in it.
f Back of the blood is food,
to keep the blood rich.. When

MAY BE GRAVES BURGLAR.
Negro in Jail Suspected of Being
Implicated in the Robberies.
Saturday morning Sheriff Hill ar
rested and lodged in jail George Wil
son, a negro wno lived on the farm
of Mr. W. D. Davidson, on suspicion
of being implicated in the recent rob
bery of the two stores and the Cen
tral railroad depot at Graves.
A sack which contained some old
clothes that had probably been worn
by the burflar and a new pair of
pants which were identified as be

ham Grier, Who Had Fired on
Him. No Witnesses.
News was received in Dawson
Monday morning that Millard Mo

killed Cheatham Grier, a negro, on
the farm of his mother, Mrs. E. E.
Moran, in the southern part of the
county.
Deputy Sheriff Slade and Coroner
Buchanan went to the scene of the
tragedy, and upon their arrival
a jury was summoned and an inquest
held, the verdict being that the homi
cide was justifiable.
There were no witnesses to the
killing, which occurred in a cotton
field. Mr. Moran said in his state
ment before the coroner's jury that
he had spoken to Grier abeut 'his
work, and that the latter took offense
and raised a difficulty, cursing hifim
and shooting at him three times.
Moran then fired at the negro twice
with a double-barrel shot gun, filling
the front part of his body with shot.
Grier rar. about a hundred vards and
fell in the edge of a swamp.
Moran's hat had a hole in it which,
he stated, was made by one of the
pistol balls that was fired at him.

Dr. Harris, on His Trip North, Found
the Trend of Sentiment Running
Strongly for the Nebraskan.
Dr. H. W. Harris reached home
Monday morning after spending a
week in Washington at the World's
Congress on Tuberculosis.
There are five or six thousand dele
gates in attendance upon the con
gress, and it is one of the most dis
tinguished gatherings of men of
science ever brought together in
America. Ministers of foreign coun
tries, scientists of world-wide fame,
public officials high in the councils
of this and other nations and per
sonal representatives of the sover
eign of every coumtry are uniting to
wage warfare against humanity’s
most deadly foe—the white plague—
which alone is the cause of some
200,000 deaths in this country each
year.
During his trip north Dr. Harris
saw and talked with prominent men
from every section of tl}e United
Stages, and he is firmly’convinced
that William J. Bryan will be elected
president in November. The trend
of sentiment is strong for the demo
cratic candidate ~everywhere, and
even republicans with whom Dr. Har
ris talked admitted that tone chances
favor Bryan. Delegates who were in
Washington from Ohio regardless of
their party preference said Taft's
own state is sure to cast its vote for
Bryan.
