Memorial Service in Honor of N. 0.
Banks.
On Sunday, 20th ult., at the Baptist
church in Grantville, (the Methodist
church undergoing r‘pairs at the
time,) a special service was held
in memory of the late N. O. Banks.
The quarterly confe-ence for Grant-
vi"
The County Paper,
A Kentucky contemporary pays the
following just tribute to the county pa
per:
[ “It occurred to ua this week, as we
ran over forty or fifty exchanges, to note
Although ; the moral tone of them. These papers

...... i.„ neu,! aic , ety of town, and are edited by practical
duced a life so well-rounded and of
sucti splendid accomplishments as that
lived by our brother, N. 0. Banks.
Truly did his light shine. We find it
in the fact that he was born and reared
of Godly parents.’ He was a child of
prayer, and brought up in the service
of the Lord. His father was one of the
best Christians 1 ever knew
he live
from ....
day morning came he hitched his horses i -V
to the carriage, and, gathering his men who are pretty well acquainted
children to him, carried them—-mark with the tlesh and the devil. In not one
the word-carried them to Sunday- of them did we find a semblance of
school and church at Palmetto, Da., . - , , ■ . , ^
where he held his membership. And j defense for whisky. In not one of them
having been so brought up, not one of j was there a trace ot vulgarity, and none
his children, thank God, has ever de-1 taught or justified dishonesty. Neither
parted therefrom, hut all of them have
grown up and developed into useful,
honorable and active Cnristian rnen
and women. Of his saintly mother,
who survives him and is so well-known
and loved by many of us, I need not
speak. A purer, sweeter or more con
secrated soul never inhabited or blessed
this old world of ours. She is a light
and benediction to the day and genera
tion in which she lives. Neither Abra
ham, nor Isaac, nor Moses, nor Ja
cob, nor any of the patriarchs of old
could we find a sneer at purity, at re
ligion, at the better things of life. In
many of them were bits of excellent ad
vice, little homely sermons on temper
ance, frugality and industry. All of
them were loyal to the home toWn and
advocated honest principles in govern
ment and individuals. Wherever there
was mention of the public school it was
in terms of praise. To be sure, here
le circuit was in session, and the j named by Paul in the eleventh chapter j and there was some fun poked at shams, I
memorial service was largely at
tended. During the exercises Hon.
W. A. Post paid the following beautiful
tribute to the life and character of
deceased—
"Mr. Chairman: While I cannot hope
to arid anything to what has already
been so truthfully and beautifully said
in the resolutions just read, and by the
speakers who have preceded me, 1 can
not content m.vself to let pass in silence
probably the last opportunity 1 shall
ever have of saying a word to the mem
ory of my dear, departed friend and
brother.
“Thirty-three years of close (and 1
might say intimate) acquaintance, and
four of these years spent in one’s home
and family, gives one an exceptional
opportunity to judge of the true char
acter and worth of a man. Such was
my opportunity for knowing him whom
we mourn to-day. During these years
I came in daily contact and observed
him, and with never a ripple of discord
to mar the close friendship that, bound
us together. And I have no hesitation
in saying that he was one of the best-
balanced and most well - rounded
characters 1 have ever known. In
every relation of life he measured
up to the full stature of a man. As a
son he was loyal and obedient to his
parents; as a brother he was even
more. His father having died and left
him the eldest son, he at once became
both a father ami a brother to his
younger brothers and sisters, looking
after their proper training, and with
his own earnings assisting in their edu
cation and to their establishment in
business. As a husband he was ideal,
provident, clean, true and devoted.
As a father he was doting and tender,
but firm and exemplary, bringing up
bis children in the fear and admonition
of the Lord, and lived to see every one
of them members of the church he loved
so well and served so faithfully. As a
friend he was as true as steel and un
shaken by adversity. His heart was
large enough to compass all mankind,
and as a natural consequence his friends
were numbered and limited only by the
extent of his acquaintance. As a citi
zen he was loyal and active, rendering
faithfully unto ‘Caesar the things that
are Caesar’s, and unto God the things
that, are God’s.’ In manner he was
polite, modest:, smooth, smiling, pleas
ant and affable. As a business man he
was upright, truthful and honorable,
and for the thirty-three years he did
business in this town and had dealings
with all kinds and classes of people, I
have never heard his honesty questioned
nor the slightest intimation of an un
clean transaction. That he was saga
cious and wise, his success in the busi
ness world abundantly testifies. He
was an honest man. and had faith in
his fellow-man. He was a friend to
rich and poor alike, and. to me. the
most beautiful and touching tribute
that has been paid him was the volun
tary contribution from their scant earn
ings, h.v the operatives of the mills of
this town, ol which he was president
and a director, of $75 for the purchase
of floral offerings to place upon his bier,
and sending a man to Atlanta to make
certain the selection and delivery.
That he was trusted by those who knew
him is evidenced by the successful busi
ness done by the firm of which he was
the head, and the many places of trust
and confidence imposed upon him. In
addition to his large mercantile busi
ness ho was president of the Grantville
Hosiery Mills; vice-president, and at
I he time ot his death acting president,
of the Bank of Grantville: a director
of the Troup Mtg. Co., of LaGrange; a
director of the Grantville Oil Mills:
chairman of the hoaid of trustees of
the Grantville public schools; member
of our town council and chairman of
the finance committee; for thirteen
years one of the jury commissioners of
Coweta county; for the past twenty-
five years a steward and chairman of
the board of stewards of this church,
and for the same length of rime a
member of this conference, and a
teacher of the bible class in our Sun
day-school. In fact, such was the con
fidence our people had in him that we
had almost h.v common consent learned
to lean upon him to guide our enter
prises to an established success, until 1
sometimes fear we were not consider
ate of his physical limitations, and un
consciously worked him to a premature
death. But, with all this, he seemed
to never tire nor complain, and with a
pleasant face and a cheerful word and
smile, he shirked no duty and neglect
ed no interest c»mrnitted to his care. 1
have often thought he could do more
business in apparently less time and
effort and with greater ease and good
humor than anyone 1 ever saw. He
was by intuition a business man. But
with all these duties crowding upon
him, the best of all is that he never
neglected his God or his church. He
of Hebrews, ever had greater faith
than this good woman and servant.
On one of her ever welcome visits to
my home a few months ago I was
speaking to her of her noble sons and
daugnters, and of the honor and com
fort they must be to her, and how much
they were indebted to her for it. all.
She said, 'Don’t give me any credit for
it; I am nothing but a weak, insigni
ficant thing; all I have done was to
give them to the Lord at their birth,
and I have ever since continued to
press their cause at the throne of His
grace. Not me, hut the Lord, has done
it all.’ Insignificant, and done noth
ing, indeed! No, riot in her own
strength, hut mighty works these,
through God, that has strengthened
her. And now the Lord has honored
this faithul servant by giving her such
manly sons and womanly daughters,
without a spot or stain. Each of them
has grown up to be an honor to society,
to the State, to the church, and to the
community in which they live.
“But at 5 o'clock p. m. on Saturday,
Mh.v 22, 1909, at the age of 50 years,
while sitting in his office chair at his
place of business, smiling and chatting
with friends, of a sudden, like a bolt of
lightning from a clear sky, he was
stricken with a pairi near the lower re
gion of his heart. Loving hands min
istered to him tenderly, carried him
hack to the rear of the store and laid
him down, thinking and hoping that the
attack was transitory and would soon
pass away. But not so. Physicians
hurried to his relief, ail were busy
ministering to him, and after awhile
we put him on a cot. and carried him
home, where God permitted him to rest
and look again upon his loved ones for
twenty minutes, when, at 7 o’clock the
Lord said it was enough, and took him
uito Himself. The call was sudden,
but he was ready.
“What a shock, what a blow, was his
death to his church, this conference,
this town, this community, and, great
est of all, t.o his family ! It was one of
the saddest days 1 ever saw in Grant
ville. Mourners went ahou‘ the streets
giving whispered utterance to their
grief. It seemed that everyone felt a
great personal loss, and, as for myself,
it it: an irreparable one, for truly he was
one of my dearest and sweetest friends.
“We feel that his taking away was
premature in the very vigor of his
prime and amidst his most useful ac
tivities. But, brethren, was his not a
completed, finished life? He had made
peace with the God he served; he had
brought up his younger brothers, and
saw them firmly established in charac
ter and in business; he had reared and
educated his own children, except the
two youngest, and established them all
in the fold of Christ; he had carried
his mercantile business to success; he
had conducted our manufacturing in
dustries through the critical period of
infancy, and left them on a solid and
substantial basis; he had provided his
family with a competency and had
built and furnished them a comfortable
home, which just the day before he
died he had equipped with waterworks
and artificial lights; he had everlast
ingly planted himself in the hearts and
affections of all who knew him. Just
a few weeks previous to his death he
had his cemeetry lot enclosed and a
family monument erected upon it.
Brethren, what was there to do that
he left, undone? True, we would have
liked to have him with us always, but
the Bather thought it enough, pro
nounced it well done, and took him to
H mself.
“He is gone, hut what a heritage he
has left us! What an example as hus
band, father and friend; what an ex
ample of probity, integrity, honesty
and industry to the business world;
what an example of exalted character
and Christian fidelity; in these, and
through these, he is not dead, and can
never die.
“Early this morning I visited the
spot where we laid him, and in token
of tn.v affection and remembrance
plucked a fresh flower kissed with the
dews ot heaven, and laid it upon his
grave. And as 1 stood there by the sa
cred dust that entombs his body, with
tear-blinded eyes I offered up a fervent
prayer of praise and thanksgiving to
God that it had been my privilege to
know, and the privilege of mv children
to he brought up under the hallowing
influences of such a character. I never
go to his grave without receiving a
new inspiration and impulse to live a
higher, better and nobler life. While
1 cannot look into his keen and spark
ling eyes, nor see his smiling face, nor
take him by the hand, nor audibly hear
his cheerful voice again, he neverthe
less speaks in tones more powerful,
admonishing me to be true and faith
ful. And thus he still lives and speaks
to us all, urging us to fidelity, to duty,
and faith in God and trust in the Lord
Christ, so that we, too, in the
some scorn at pretense. But the note
in every one of these twoscore papers
was for decency, progress, enlighten
ment, morality. And of these editors,
(we know many of them personally,)
most of them are judges of people and
events. A pretty decent lot they are; in
fact, we doubt if any other profession
can offer a higher or even as high
showing. Besides all this, the country ed
itor is proverbially liberal, and free
hearted in every way. No stray printer
goes away hungry if he has a stray quar
ter. No public subscription list ever
passes him without his mite. He gives
freely of time and space to the public
welfare. This is not an effort to throw a
bouquet at our contemporaries, but, with
Paul, we believe eve ry man should mag
nify his calling, and we are proud of
ours.’’
Drugless Cure.
“William, dear,’’ feebly called the
invalid wife, who was supposed to be
nearing the end of her earthly career.
“Yes, darling,’’ answered the sor
rowing husband. “What is it?’’
“When I am gone,” said she, “I feel
that for the sake of the motherless little
ones you should marry again. ’ ’
“Do you really think it would be Lest,
darling?” asked the faithful William.
“Yes, William, I really do,” replied
the invalid. “After a resonable length
of time you should seek the companion
ship of some good woman.”
“Do you know, my dear,” said the
husband, “you have lifted a great bur
den from my mind? Mow, there is that
charming Widow Jones across the way.
She has acted rather friendly toward me
ever since you were taken ill. Of course,
dear, she could never fill your place,
but she is young, plump and pretty, and
I’m sure she would do her best to lessen
my grief.”
“William Henry Brown!” exclaimed
the woman whose days were supposed
to he numbered, as she part ly raised her
self upon the pillow, “if you ever dare
install that red-headed, freckle-faced
hussy in my shoes I'll —I’ll'*— And
then she fainted.
But the next day Mrs. Brown was
able to sit up, and two days later she
was downstairs.
In Memoriam.

His devoted and sorrowing wife,
Mary Thornton McGhee.
“Tommy,” said his mother, “go into
the front room and see if grandpa is
asleep. ”
Tommy found the old gentleman snor

“Yes, mamma,” he retorted, “he’s
asleep all but his nose.”

Not only was Dr. Bull one of the great
est operating surgeons that ever lived,
hut what a man he was! The following
will illustrate what 1 have in mind:
Shortly before he was stricken with
his fatal illness a young east side phy
sician called at his office and said that
he was attending a poor girl over in his
neighborhood who would surely die un
less operated on. The family was too
poor to pay, and the doctor did not feel
that he was equal to the operation.
Would Dr. Bull give him a little advice
as to how to proceed?
“Well, I guess we had better go and I
take a look at the patient,” said Dr.
Bull, putting on his coat.
They found the patient in an east side
tenement, and in less time than it takes
to tell it, Dr. Bull had the room cleay d
and began the operation.
When he was leaving, the father of
the girl met him in the hall and forced
a quarter into his hand Dr. Bull thank
ed him and went off feeling as happy —
happier than if he had received a $2,000
fee. The girl got well. New York will

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 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 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
vear 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-

which my doctor was unable to cure. My
