ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. !y and without reserve offered himself as a sacrifice to his convictions of duty and entered the field along with his comrades of the South, to serve as a soldier in the Confederate army. In the death of our friend we extend ter.derest sympathy to his devoted wife Tribute to a Gallant Comrade. Bnc | f r j en ds in this hour of grief and One by one the gallant old Confeder- Rore bereavement, and commit them to the loving mercies of our Heavenly Father. His friend. A. C. North. 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. Done by order of the church in con ference May 9, 1909. H. H. Ware, R. J. Hammett, O. M. Cavender, Committee. 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 12, ’Wanted For School District No. a teacher with a glass eye, gray sickness. He was happy in his domes- headed, a wooden or cork leg so she can’t dance, and is sure to take to the woods if she sees a man coming.” This is an advertisement that appeared in a newspaper at Fort Collins, Col., a few days ago. The reason is that the Fort Collins school authorities have had enough of pretty teachers. They have tried half a dozen of that sort, and just as soon as a teacher gets fairly into the work she gets married, and the au thorities have to hunt up somebody to take her place. tic relations, warm in his affections, and constant in his friendship. As a husband he was kind and considerate, and his married life was one of happi ness. As a friend, he was as true as the north star, of whose true, lixed and resting quality "it hath no fellow in the firmament.” As a soldier, he was the equal of any, and when civil dis cord in our country darkened into war and "blood was to be shed by the peo ple from thine own veins to quench the fires of political wrath,” he voluntari- If you have time to waste you can afford to argue with a man who is in love.

L 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?’ ” Statistical Volume Issued.

The diver went down again, coming up with the remains of the un fortunate young man, and was assisted into a boat. 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. S.S.S. R. E. HERRING G.

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 jou without- cost.

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. Wheeling, W. Va.
