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.

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. My husband, J. H. McGhee, died Thursday morning, June 17, 1909. His parents were J. J. McGhee and Rebec ca Harrison McGhee, who came from Montgomery county, Md., to Campbell county, Ga.. where he was born March 25, 1844. His school days were spent at Fairborn. He enlisted in the Confeder ate service May 7. 18G2, in Cant. Gib bons’ Battery, Griffin, Ga., and served until the close of the war. Was first married to Miss Lizzie Fullerton on Nov. 12, 1868. Five children were born of this union, all of whom are living. She died March 4, 1885. We were married Sept. 2, 1886, and our union was blessed with seven children, of whom six are now living. He was made a Mason at Pine Grove Lodge in 1872, anti continued an active member up to the time of his death, filling nearly all the offices, from Secretary up to Mas ter. Joined the M. P. Church in Sep tember, 1865. Joined the M. E. Church, South, at Grantville in 1874, and re mained a consistent member until death. He was honest with his fellow- man. He loved his family, and they loved him. May his children follow him, as he followed Christ. He loved to go to the house of worship. His pastor, Rev. T. R. Kendall, jr., preached a comforting sermon, for which we are very grateful.

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 miss Dr. Bull. What a vast portion of our lives is spent in anxious and useless forebod ings concerning the future, either our own or that of our dear ones!

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.
