husband and five sons, W. T. Lock

Few women have lived more un
selfishly in their everyday life than
the subject of this sketch. Quiet and
unassuming, vet full of love for hu
manity she daily manifested the
spirit of the Master “going about
doing good.” Especially devoted to
the members of her own family she
was all that a faithful wife and
mother could be in the home circle.
Mrs. Lockett was loyal to her
church, and found great pleasure
in attending the services. Her neigh
bors and friends have testified to
the sweetness and beauty of her
Christian character, and “her chil
dren rise up and call her blessed.”

CHRONIC CATARRH.
. Our manner of living makes us
very susceptible to colds and a suc
cession of colds causes chronic ca
tarrh, a loathsome disease fvyrth
which it is estimated that nine
ty-five per cent. of our adult popu
lation are afflicted. If you would
avoid colds or having contracted 2
cold get rid of it as quickly as pos
sible. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is highly recommended as a cure for
colds and ean be depended upon.
