ates are being gathered home. The
last to answer the roll-call was Joseph
Baughman, who died at his home in
Newnan, Ga., April 29th aged 70
years. He was a brave, noble man and
soldier -a typical knight of the old
South. He was universally beloved,
and his funeral was an attestation of
the esteem in which he was held by
Resolutions by Corinth Baptist
Church.
On March 23, 1909, our much-beloved
brother, Asa M. Spradlin, was called
to his eternal home. Bro. Spradlin was
the large concourse of friends, includ- j 79 years of age at the time of his death,
ing the members of his camp and the | Hnc | f or forty-three years had been a
entire force of the R. I). Cole Manu- j true a nd faithful member of the Bap-
facturing Co., marching in procession
to his last resting-place. To w'eep with
those that weep is an injunction as dif-
cult to disobey, and as old as the pages
of sacred writ, when the mourning is
caused by the death of a friend of fifty
years’ standing. He was my friend,
faithful and true, in all relations of
life; and in writing this simple tribute
to his mmory, I do so from a sense of
duty and the love I bore the man.
While this is not a record of a very
eventful life in truth, hundreds of
men of equal merit live and die with
out calling for any special eulogy;—
but there is enough in his life, simple
as it was, for the purpose which we
have in view. It was indeed a manly
life. He secured no favors from for
tune. As a boy he early realized that
there was work for him to do, and he
prepared himself for it as best he could.
He saw that the world was full of op
portunities. He did not ask for charity,
which it is the fashion to miscall jus
tice; but he sought for himself an op
portunity for the display of the talent
which God had given him. He did not
seek success by falsehood, by fraud, or
by the betrayal of trust, but by indus
try, economy and honest dealing with
his fellow-man. He was the power be
hind the It. D. Cole Mfg. Co.’s plant,
and at his signal he put three hundred
men to work. He had been with the
lirm forty-five years, and was always
at his post of duty, except in time of
tist church at Corinth, Heard county.
He was married to Miss Julia Moore
Feb. 9, 18-16. To this union nine chil
dren were born to bless this happy
family. His widow and six sons sur
vive him. Bro. Spradlin was a pious
Christian, always ready for any good
cause for the upbuilding of his church
and the community in which he lived.
Resolved. That we, the members of
Corinth church, bow in humble submis
sion to the will of our Heavenly Fath-
| er, and we feel and know that our
1 church has lost one of its most conse
crated members by the death of our
beloved brother, yet we know that our
loss is his great gain.
Resolved, That the members of our
church offer sympathy to the grief-
stricken wife and sons. While we know
it is not in our power to comfort the
bereaved whose hearts are so crushed
by their great loss, we can point them
to our Heavenly Father—the only true
source—and it should be a great com
fort for them to know “He doeth all
things well.’’
"“Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be spread on the minutes of the
church, a copy sent the bereaved wid
ow and sons of our departed brother,
and also to the Meriwether Vindicator
and Newnan Herald and Advertiser
for publication.

Young Man’s Body Located by His
Shirt.
ColumbuH Enquirer-Sun, 18th inst.
The Chattahoochee claimed another
victim Sunday arternoon, when Brady
Grooms, aged 18 years, was drowned
in the river at North Highlands. The
young man, with a number of other
boys, had gone in bathing; but it seems
that he was using caution, owing to
the fact that he could not swim. He
fell into the deep water in a rather pe
culiar manner, for it seems that he
was holding to the limb of a tree that
projected over the river, and the branch
either broke or he lost his hold in some
way. He sank almost immediately, de
spite the efforts of his companions to
save him, and was drowned. The
boys communicated the news to the
family and a search for the body
was begun. Several young men who
are expert divers began searching for
the body, but although they made nu
merous trips to the bottom of the river
and worked faithfully for some time,
their efforts were not rewarded. The
recovery of the body was made in a pe
culiar and rather remarkable manner.
A man standing on the bank said that
he had always heard that if the gar
ments of a drowned person—particular
ly his hat—were thrown into the water
they would sink over the spot where

Wanted Explicit Directions.
"Bill had charge of the animal tent,’
said the old circus man, "and among
hi- pets was a leopard, the only one we
had with the show, and quite enough,
too. The leopard gave Bill more trouble
than all the rest of the menagerie put
together. It was certainly an ugly
brute.
"Well, one day when we were show
ing in Dayton, O., I had gone on to Co
lumbus to arrange about some advance
business. I was eating my dinner in
the hotel when a telegram was handed
tome. It was from Bill, and read;
’The leopard has escaped. Prowling
about town. What shall I do?’
"That was just like Bill. He had to
have explicit directions, even in an
emergency like this. He did not want
to make a mistake.
"I immediately wired back to Bill:
‘Shoot him on the spot.’ I didn’t think
any more about it until a couple of
hours later, when I received another tel
egram from conscientious, careful Bill,
asking, ‘Which spot?’ ”

Father and Son Decide to Marry a
Second Time.
Lawrenceville, Ga., May 19.—Sun
day witnessed an unusual occurrence in
Gwinnett county. It was the marriage
of two men, both widowers, father and
son, at the same time, though at differ
ent places.
Saturday J. W. Pratt, a prominent
citizen living in the neighborhood of
New Hope, bought a marriage license.
His son, J. E. Pratt, bought a license
also.
Sunday morning father and son were
up bright and early. Both appeared a
little restless. After breakfast they
sat for awhile on the front veianda,
"Son, you will have a new mammy
to-day,” remarked the paterfamilias.
"Well,” replied the son, "you and
my new mother will have a new daugh
ter before the day is gone.”
Thus was the matter introduced, and
both enjoyed the peculiar circum
stances.
Father and son put on their best Sun
day clothes and started for the homes
of their respective brides.
Mr. J. W. Pratt was married to Mrs.
S. E. Kennedy Sunday afternoon. He
and his bride passed through Law
renceville en route home. Mr. J. S.
Pratt was married to Miss Wilfta
Jones. The ceremony was performed
in Lawrenceville.
Father and son and their wives re
turned to the old home.
Inauguration Day.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
There has been a good deal of use
less, even senseless, discussion of the
date upon which Hon. Joseph M. Brown
will be inaugurated as Governor. Some
people seem to be utterly at sea on the
question, as if the law now is not the
same it has been during the past sever
al years. Mr. Brown will be inaugu
rated under the same law that Gov.
Terrell ar.d Gov. Smith were inaugura
ted under, and it throws the date on
Saturday, June 26—the first Saturday
after the convening of the Legislature.
According to the plans announced the
inauguration will not be one of pomp
and splendor, but a plain, simple affair.
It will be shorn of display, and will in
dicate that the incoming administration
will be one of business, without frills
or flounces.

ALCOHOL IN SICKNESS.
•
At one of the London public hos
pitals a special point is made of giving
alcohol to the patients as rarely and
sparely as possible; and each time
that one of the physicians does so he
submits a special entry of the reasons
that actuated him. In the thirty-two
years of the existence of the hospital
alcohol has only been given seventy-
one times. The cases received are
exactly like those received by all the
other hospitals. For 1904 they num
bered 1337 in-patients only. The
death-rate among these was 7.3 per
cent. For the same year the average
death - rate among the other London
public hospitals was 9.1 per cent.
Therefore the use of alcohol in sick
ness is not to be regarded as a neces
sity. Although most physicians pre
scribe alcohol in solution with drugs
for their patients—there was one phy
sician of national reputation who did
not believe in using alcohol. Many
years ago when Dr. R. V. Pierce de
cided to put up his valuable "Prescrip
tion ” for the diseases of women in a
"ready to use” form — lie used as a
solvent and preservative chemically
pure glycerine of proper strength,
which is a better solvent and preserva
tive of the active medicinal principles
residing in most of our indigenous or
native plants than is alcohol. Dr.
Pierce found that the glycerine, be
sides being entirely harmless, possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties, of great-
value.
No woman who is suffering from
inflammation, from the pains and
drains incident to womanhood can
afford to be without Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription. An honest medi
cine which lias the largest number of
ntrcs to its credit and a deserved popu
larity for two score years all over the
ljilted States. Dr. Pierce tells you
jifst what- is contained in his "Favorite
Ptescriptiou.”
ITS INGREDIENTS ARE :
Golden Seal root (Hydrastis Cana-
dtnsis), Lady’s Slipper root (Cvpri-
pidium Pub’escens), Black Cohosh
riiot (Cimicifuga Raeemosa), Unicorn
mot (Helonias Dioica), Blue Cohosh
riot- (Caulophyllum Thalictroides),
Chemically Pure Glycerine.
Among the prominent medical men
cf the country who recommend the
above ingredients as superior remedies
for nervous conditions depending upon
disorders of the womanly system and
for the cure of those catarrhal condi
tions in the affected parts are : Edwin
II. Hale, M. D., Professor of Materia
Jledica, at Hahnemann Medical Col
lege, Chicago ; Prof. John King, M.D.,
iuthor of the American Dispensatory,
Woman and her Diseases: Professor
John M. Scudder, Doctors Hale, Ives,
Wood, Bartholow and others. Address
a postal card to Dr. Pierce for a com
pete treatise on the subject—sent to

CURES
SKIN DISEASES
There is an evaporation from the body going on 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 coutact 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 off
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 Poisou 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, GAi
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 Eczema
which my doctor was unable to cure. My
arms, lower limbs, and, in fact, the biggest
portion of my whole body was affected, and
when I first 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 have recommended it to
others with good results. It is the best blood
medicine made, and I can conscientiously
recommend it for the cure of all blood and
skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMAN.
