* iur Henry Clowcr, son of Dr. and

In my lust IctU'V It was thought by
oil, that Henry would reg.-tiu Jiiu health
and be with us once more, but tho Al
mighty 1iuh sci n Ilf to remove him
from Ids earthly labors to his heavt q
ly rest. In tin’ ptline ui life, In the
strength of manhood and iti tbo bright

was stricken down. Hq was Industri

where there are no heart-throbs.
The writ or joins with all in extending

“Taken In.”
“I used often to rend the newspa
per aloud to my wife,” said Robert
Robinson, “and once was fairly ‘tak
en In’ by a patent medicine adver
tisement. The seductive paragraph
began with a modest account of the
sen serpent, but ended by setting
forth the virtues of Dr. Fierce’s Gol
den Medical Discovery, which, it was
allcgeii, was a euro for all Bronchial,
Tiir. Ht and Lung troubles, ftild would
nvt-n cure consumption, if taken in
time. The way I was taken in was
this: I had lung disease, and I bought
a tioUte of the remedy. I was a
frronger to it, «ud it took me in—and
cured me.” Rooinson’s experience
Is identical with that of thousands of
others. So true is this, that after
witnessing, for many years, the mar
velous cures of Bronchial, Throat and
Lung affections wrought by this won-
dcrlui remedy, it’s manufacturers feel
warranted in saying that this remedy
will cure 98 per cent of nil cases of
consumption, if taken iu the earlier
stages of the disease.
MORELAND.

Walthall was usher. The brides
maids were .Misses .Susie Young and
liruco Melfeuie.y. The bride, always
modest and lovely, wns never more
so than on tills occasion, while tho
grootn nevor looked handsomer. A
beautiful assortment of wedding pres
ents were received. They have tho
best wishes of their friends hero. The
wedding guests began to depart at
tuilight, not dreaming of the terrible
rain and darkness. Butfor the kipd-
nopii of Mr. Alton Roye.ton, no doubt
sumo serious accidents would have
occurred. Up nnd down tho road, in

groom arrived at the homo of .Mrs.

"RIPPLES."
From all accounts Mrs. Elizabeth
Nobles will bo executed on March
25th, unless the Prison Commission
shall eee fit to recommend a com
mutation of sentence. Will justice
be vindicated by hnng’ng this poor,
ignorant old woman? Is there a
white man who wants tho honor of
springing the. trap that will usher lids
old creature into eternity? Shall it
bo written that the grout State of
Georgia consigned to an ignominious
grave n white woman, bent with age
and infirmity—weak in mind »s well
ns body—while hundreds of crim
inals equally guilty are allowed
to go unpunished? Wo think the
Prison CJoinmhitdon should recommend
a commutation of her sentence, as
v.’cll as that of her accomplice, G’us
Fain bins.
i( He.urns that hanging has but little’
deterring e-deot on crime. Thero
are so many ways to escape the
wrath of the law that a man will de
liberately commit murder anil‘take
his chances in the courts, confident iu
the belief that a few shrewd lawyers
wdl save him. And they usnajly do.
Fifty years ago the plea of insanity
was rarely heard in tho court , and
technical errors were not considered
a sufficient ground for acquittal. It
was not so easy to pack a jury then
us now.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD-
A fact often overlooked, or not al-
t wavs understood, is that women suf
fer as much from distressing kidney
and bladder troubles as the men.
. Tim womb h situated back* and very
close to the bladder, and for that
reason any distress, disease or incon
venience manifested in the kidneys,
back or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to fomalo weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
This error is easily made and may be
; as easily avoided by Betting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling is evidence that your blad
der and kidneys need doctoring. If
you have pain or dull aching in tho
the back, pass water too frequently,
i or scanty supply, with smarting or
! burning,—these are also convincing
proofs of kidney trouble. If you
have doctored without benefit, try
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy. Tho mild and the
extraordinary effect will surprise you.

She is the first of n large family to he
taken to her heavonly homo. Could
we at all times understand Cod’s pur
pose in sending afflictions upon Mis
children, then we might in a measure
comprehend why He in His all-wise
providence has taken her to her
beautiful home beyond the skies. But
since those tilings are hidden from
us, and wo are to nceopt all chastise
ment from a divine source as intended
for some good, we know it Is n blessed
comfort to her loved ones to believe
she has gone to a better home. Just
budding into womanhood, like a flow
er she has boon transplanted to a
more genial clime, and still lives and
blossoms, shedding fragrance aroun
the throne of God.
Hill* was gentle nnd kind, modest
and retiring in disposition. Her vir
tues wc ru best known to those who
were intimately associated with her.
In the home circle she will be greatly
missed. She was- industrious, true,
and faithful to every task and obliga
tion. She will he sadly missed in her
church, of which sho was n good and
true member, always punctual iu at
tending service.
In her death one of God’s bust chil
dren has been taken away; but the
Son of Righteousness penetrates our
gloom, and whispers to the sorrow
ing hearts that the dear child and sis
