REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON DECEASED
MEMBERS.
It is with sad hearts that we, y<
committee, have to report that since
we last met three of our members have
passed away. On the 19th of Decem
ber. 1907, God in His infinite wisdom
saw fit to call Sister Emily Reese, wife
of Bro. J. P. Reese, from earth to
heaven, there to join with loved ones
gone before, and there strike hands on
the bright shore of deliverance. Sister
Reese was horn May 12, Isis. She lived
out her allotted time, nearing three
score and ten years. She was a kind
and affectionate wife. Her delight was
to make happy him to whom she had
given her heart in early lift. Although
our sister never made a public profes-
the brethren, and left testimonies of j
the same by visiting the sick and min-,
istering to the poor and needy. She 1
was a loving and indulgent mother, and ;
those that knew her best loved her:
most. Her children rise up and call I
her blessed. ^ ( <
Also, on Sept. 8, 1907, the Death An-1
gel hovered over the home of Bro. J.
S. Moore and claimed as his victim Sis-!
ter Mary Moore and bore her gentle I
spirit back to the God whom she wor
shiped. She was horn Aug. 17, 1837.
She was a kind and dutiful wife, and
a loving mother. She put forth her best
efforts to bring up her children in the
"nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
She gave her heart to Chri3t in early
life, and united with the Baptist
church, living a consistent member up
to the time of her death and working
in the vineyard of the Master.
Sister Nancy A. Coats, wife of Bro.
M. W. Coats, was born June 12, 1857,
and piassed away March 12, 1908. In
early life she found Christ precious to
her never dying soul, in the forgiveness
of her sins, and united with the Bap
tist church. Religion being her chief
concern here below, she always abound
ed in the "faith once delivered to the
saints,” holding the mysteries of
"faith in a clear conscience.” She was
a loving wife and helpmeet indeed, and
her life abounded in good works. A
kind and sympathetic neighbor, she was
always ready to minister to the sick
and console those in trouble and dis
tress. Thus another good woman has
gone to her reward.
We feel that when the Lord comes to
gather up His jewels those of whom we
write will hear it said, “Come up high
er.” To the bereaved families we
would say, Cheer up and trust God’s
grace, and some sweet day you will all
meet again, where there will he no
sickness, sorrow, pain nor death, and
where there will be no more partings.
Your loved ones are not dead, but only
gone before, and are now waiting and
watching for you to enter also the por
tals of glory. Therefore, be it re
solved—
1. That our hearts go out in sympa
thy to the bereaved families in their
sad bereavement, and would point
them to the "Lamb of God, that taketh
away the sins of the world.”
2. That this memoriul be recorded as
a part of the minutes of this conven
tion, a copy furnished the families of
deceased, and also to the county papers
for publication.
Respectfully submitted,
J. C. Sewell,
F. E. Hindsman,
J. W. Wyatt,
Committee.

Henslee as alternate.
Benediction by F. E. Hindsman.
J. B. Henslee, Chairman,
G. L. McEwen, Vice-Chairman,
C. H. Newton, Secretary.
Heaven help the man who imagines
he can dodge enemies by trying to
please everybody 1 1 f such an individual
ever succeeded we should be glad of it
—not that we believe in a man going
through the world trying to find beams
to knock and thump his poor head
against, disputing every man’s opinion,
fighting and elbowing,! and crowding
all who differ with him. That, again,
is another extreme. Other people have
a right to their opinion, so have you;
don’t fall into the error of supposing
they will respect you less for main
taining it, or respect you more for
turning your coat every day to match
the color of theirs. Wear your own
colors in spite of wind or weather,
storm or sunshine. It costs the vacil
lating and irresolute ten times the
to wind, and shuffle, and twist.
Everything has two handles—one by
which it may be borne; another by
which it cannot.—Epictetus.
There are innumerable cups on the
table of life. Some are gilded and
beautiful. Some contain bitter mix
tures. Others are sweet to the taste.
Every man must take such of the cups
as are given him. What happens? The
most beautiful cup often becomes bit
ter. The most bitter cup often grows
sweet. See how this is!
You often take the morning by the
handle of a frown and the whole day
will frown on you. Take the stormiest
day with a smile and it will grow pleas
ant.
Take your work by the handle of re- i
luctance and it will grow intolerable ; j
you, the same man, take the same
work by the handle of willingness and j
it becomes easy. Try it!
Take your pleasure by the handle of :
self-indulgence and the pleasure is
spoiled; take it by the handle of gen
erosity, share it, and it will last.
Take wealth by one handle and it
loads you with cares; take it by the
other handle and see what will happen.
Take your business as a means of
getting a living and it becomes vulgar
drudgery ; take it as a means of social
service and it will be a noble religion.
Take marriage by the handle of your
self-will and it will turn out a failure;
take it by the handle of love and you
will be more happy every clay.
Handle men with distrust and you
will never get aloong with them; han
dle them by good will and the same
men will be your friends.
Take yourself by the handle of ego
tism and you waste your power. Use
the handle of modesty and the world is
with you.
Take pain by the handle of fear and
you will always have something to suf
fer. Take pain by the handle of cour
age and nothing can hurt you.
Take sorrow with self-pity and you
will become too lonely to live. Take it
by the handle of your sympathy and
sorrow shall be translated into new
power to help all others suffer.
Take the world by the handle of
doubt and the day grows dark. Take
it as God’s world and the sun and stars
will always be shining.
Take death with dread and you lessen
the tide of life. Take death with hope
and life broadens into an infinite mean
ing.

Major Throckmorton’s Retort.
Harper’s Weekly.
Maj. Throckmorton, an inn-keeper of
Louisville in ante-bellum days, was one
of the most interesting characters that
ever helped to make life worth living
or history worth reading.
Here are some of his deeds: He
ejected Charles Dickens, the great En
glish novelist, from his hotel; he wore
an umbrella out on a man who stared
at him impudently; and he made at
least one retort worthy to be handed
down from generation to generation.
The Dickens affair is known to all,
and the umbrella episode to most of the
old Kentuckians. The man was staring
in a very offensive way at the Major,
who, annoyed at his presence, stepped
up to him and remarked : “My friend.
I’m just an ordinary man, although I
look so grand.” To which the reply
came: “You don’t look so d grand,
either.” And then the trouble began.
But the notable feat of all was that
retort previously referred to, and which
is here quoted from a contemporary
chronicle.
“Get this man’s horse,” said the Ma
jor to his hostler, (the man had insulted
one of the Major’s guests) ; “that little
Arkansas pony.”
"I’ll let you know,” shouted the big
man, “that I am not from Arkansas,
and my horse is no Arkansas pony, ei
ther!” and then in still a louder tone
he called out: "I’ll let you know that
I am a gentleman !”
The Major asweied: “And I’ll let
you know that I am a gentleman !”
“And I’ll let you know,” yelled the
big man, “that I am Col. Wilson, of
Woodville, Mississippi.”
“And I’ll let you know,” vociferated
the Major, “that I am Maj. Aris
Throckmorton, of Blue Licks, Ken
tucky.”
“And I’ll let you know,” screamed
the big man, “that I run for the State
Senate in my destrick last summer,
and that I was beat just four votes 1”
“And I’ll let you know,” shrieked
the Major, “that I ran for the State
Senate in this district last summer, and
that I was beat four hundred votes!”
In Memory of C. W. Talley, jr.
How sad to think that C. W. is dead!
— to know that his voice is hushed for
ever 1—that we can never hear the sound
of his footsteps in the home, of which
he was the light and joy! How well
we remember the last time we saw
him in life! Little did we think then
that we would so soon see him cold in
death. How heartrending it was to
see his fond father and mother, three
loving sisters and brother, as they
looked for the last time on the cold,
lifeles3 form of their beloved son and
brother! Words cannot express the
sympathy we have for them. We shed
tears with them in remembrance of
him who was taken in the bloom of his
youth. Blessed with Christian parents,
such religious influences were throwm
around him as to point him early in
life to the “Lamb of God, who taketh
away the sins of the world.” He
joined New Hope Baptist church in
August, 1906, and was baptized by
Rev. V. A. Ham, at the same time as
the writer, and died June 23, 1908.
There was an angrel band in heaven
That was not quite complete ;
God took our darling C. W.
To till the vacant seat.
Yet again we hope to meet him.
When the day of life is fled.
And in heaven with joy to greet him,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
We know it is hard to part from
those we love, yet God knows best. So
we would say to the loved ones left be
hind, “Prepare to meet your darling in
heaven, where there will be no more
sickness, pain nor death. ”
God knows the way—He holds the key;
He guides us with unerring hand;
Some time with tearless eyes we’ll see—
Yes, there, up there, we’ll understand.

CURES
i DISEASES
There is an evaporation from the body going 0 n continually, day and
night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature’s way of
maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft
ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur
ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cause
becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and
coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is
so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the
effect is shown By Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds
These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or
inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry oft
the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work
and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by
the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the
system, but poisons from without,
such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy,
Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the
open pores and glands, and so thor
oughly do they become rooted in the
blood that they are ever present,
or return at certain seasons of each
year to torment the sufferer. Salves,
washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin
diseases. True, such treatment re
lieves some of the itching and dis
comfort, and aids in keeping the skin
clean, but it does not reach the real
cause, and at best can be only palli
ating and soothing, A thorough
cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S.
a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients
of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the
circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and
purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies
to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and
all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S. S.
cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash,
and all other skin troubles, and cures them permanently by removing every
trace of the cause from the blood. Special book on Skin Diseases and any
medical advice desired furnished free to all who write.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.,. ATLANTA,
I have used your S. S. S., spring and fall,
for the past two years, with the result that it
entirely relieved me of a form of Ectarna
which my doctor was unable to cure. My
arms, lower Limbs, and, in fact, the biggest
portion of my whole body was aflected, and
when 1 hrst began S. S. S. the itching, etc.,
was worse, but I continued the remedy with
the result that the dry, itching eruption en
tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of
your medicine, and haw recommended it to
others with good results. It is the best blood
medicine made, and I can conscientiously
recommend it for the cure of ail blood and
skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMAN.

COD
LIVER
OIL
With its,
Repulsive
Qualities
Eliminated
The repulsive taste and odor of cod
liver oil and its tendency to derange di
gestion and upset the stomach have
heretofore seriously handicapped this
most valuable remedial agent, whose
place cannot be taken by anything else
in treating Pulmonary Complaints, La
Grippe, Consumption and Weak Lungs,
as well as Malnutrition, Blood Poverty,
General Debility, Nervous Weakness,
Wasting Diseases, Loss of Weight and
other “Run Down” Conditions. These
objectionable features of the plain cod
liver oil have been entirely eliminated
from the preparation of cod liver oil in
dry tablet form we are offering you un
der the name of
C. O. D.
Tablets
In these little easily-swallowed tab
lets are contained all the essential ele
ments of the finest Norwegian Liver
Oil imported. To these vital princi
ples of the best cod liver oil are added
the Hvpophosphites of Lime and Soda
and a small quantity of Licorice.
The Hypophosphites are splendid for
strengthening and restoring tone to the
entire nervous system and banishing
nervousness. Licorice is the gentlest
known laxative and its presence insures
that any excess of oil which the system
cannot assimilate will be promptly car
ried off and not remain to irritate the
stomach, as often happens when the
plain oil is taken.
Taka C. O. D. Tablets and experi
ence the vast benefit to your health
which will follow the blood-making,
blood-enriching, strength-restoring, tis
sue-rebuilding and system nourishing-
results of this by-far-the-best of all cod
liver oil preparations. Sold in 50c. and
$1 bottles. If your druggist does not
handle them, DO NOT ACCEPT ANY’
SUBSTITUTE, but send your money to
us and be return mail we will supply
you with C. O. D. TABLETS postage
