Chicago Record-Hernld. It is now generally known that Scrib ner’s Magazine is paying Theodore Roosevelt the highest price ever paid for any serial in any magazine for his forthcoming articles, which are to bear the general title, ‘‘African Game Trails: An Account of the African Wanderings of an American Hunter Naturalist.” The editors already have ive of these articles in manuscript, the first of which, ”A Railroad Through the Pleistocene,” will appear in the October Scribner. They also have a large amount of illustrative material from Kermit Roosevelt, the official photographer of the expedition, all sys tematically arranged and labeled, show ing a marked aptitude for detail on the young man’s part. Meantime the popular interest in these articles is in itself a phenomenon that may well engage the attention even of Mr. Roosevelt’s enemies, it is said that an enterprising concern in New York recently dressed up a lot of men in Rooseveltian costumes and put them through an African lion hunt be fore the moving picture camera, and that the receipts from the exhibit the first week were $15,000. I understand that the news dealers’ orders for the October Scribner are 75 per cent, lar ger than usual, the increase being about 50 per cent, in the East and 100 per cent, in the West. Rut the surprising thing is that the interest on the other side of the Atlan tic is almost equally keen. The London Telegraph has bought the serial use of Mr. Roosevelt’s articles fort’a good round sum. The leading publishers in Paris, Hachette & Co., have bought both the serial and book rights, and the same is true of Berlin ; also that French and German translations will appear simultaneously with the American and English publications. in fact, each manuscript is prepared in triplicate for this purpose. The Scribners also are considering similar offers from Italy, Austria and other countries, including Australia. All thes‘ foreign offers, mark you, come from publishers who have not seen a line of Mr. Roosevelt’s matter. They are witling to take it on faith, putting up thousands of dollars on the mere strength of the popular interest which his name arouses among their readers. Could there be a more strik ing proof of the appeal of his pictures que personality to the imagination of the age? And all the while Mr. Roosevelt’s having the time of his life, and the tone of his writing is said to indicate as much. His article in the October Scribner will describe the start of his expedition, his meeting with Selous, the most famous of all big game hun ters, and his ride on the cowcatcher of a Uganda railway engine through a region swarming with giraffes, rhinos, zebras, lions, hartebeestes, ostriches and other wild animals. Those who have seen the other manuscripts say the'series is the most interesting Mr. Roosevelt has ever written. It is evi dent. at any rate, that one can flee to darkest Africa and still remain in the limelight if one be sufficiently strenu ous. Obituary. Again, and the second time within j the space of five months, the Death j Angel visited the home of Mr. J. L. j Morris on the night of Aug. 16 and claimed the gentle spirit of his wife, Mrs. Lucy A. Ilindsman Morris, and wafted her sweet spirit to the Great Beyond, there to bask in the sunshine of God’s eternal glory until the resur rection morn, when it will “put off this mortal and put on immortality,” and appear before the Judge of the quick and the dead to hear the welcome plaudit, "Come up higher.” Deceased was born March 15, 1850; was married to J. L. Morris Sept. 10, 1867. This union was blessed with eight children, three having preceded her to the grave. She united with the Bap tise church at old Holly Springs (now Moreland) in the early 70’s, was bap tized by Rev. R. E. Pitman, and re mained a consistent member of the same up to the time of her death. She was a regular attendant on her church meetings when able to do so, and had an abiding faith in prayer. For two years she was in poor health, and for some months prior to her death her sufferings were intense; yet she never murmured nor complained, relying on the precious promise, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” As the end drew near she expressed a readi ness to go and be with her Savior, whom she trusted for life and salva tion. She is survived by her husband and five children, besides numerous other relatives. We realize that our loss is her eternal again ; therefore, we bow in humble submission to the will of "Him ho doeth all things well.” To the bereaved husband we would say, "Weep not, for Annis is not dead, but only gone before, and is waiting and watching the coming of loved ones, and beckoning them on to that sweet haven of rest.” To the children we can only say, "Ileed the admonitions of your mother; emulate the life she set before you; remember that she cannot come back to you, but you can go to her, where there will be no more Earewells. ” , Thus we are reminded that, one by one They were going to the matinee. She was up in the boudoir putting on finish ing touches and he was sitting impa tiently on the front steps. "George." she called down, sweet ly, "just one minute more until I find my gloves. ” Fifteen minutes passed. "George," came from above, "wait another second. I've lost my pin.” Twenty minutes slipped by. "George,” she continued, “don’t go. A button just jumped off my shoe.” Long silence. Then George called wearily: "Hurry a little, Ethel. If you get down in another five minutes we can make the evening performance. Mat inee’s over long go.” When Mark Twain lived in Buffalo he made the acquaintance of some neighbors under peculiar circum stances. Emerging from his house one morning, he saw something which made him run across the street, and remarked to the people who were gathered on the veranda: "My name is Clemens; my wife and I have been intending to call on you and make your acquaintance. We owe you an apology for not doing it before now. I beg your pardon for intruding on you in this informal manner, and at this time of day, but your house is on fire!” "Beg pardon,” said the hotel clerk, "but what is your name?” "Name?” echoed the indignant guest, who had just registered. "Don’t you see my signature there on the regis ter?” "I do,” answered the clerk, calmly. "That is what aroused my curiosity !” First Guest—"This place is healthy, isn’t it?” Second Guest -"It had been Up to the time that a noted specialist from New York got into the habit of spend ing his summers here.

Obituary. During the still morning hours of Aug. 17, 1909, the black-winged angel of death entered ti.c home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Smith nr.d will,drew ficm their garden of love and care one of its sweetest and rarest llowers little Sol- lah Louise Smith. A vacancy has been left that can never be tilled, but let them rest assured that this most beau tiful flower has been transplanted to a garden where there will he no more heartaches or sorrow, but where there is everlasting love and happiness. We know it is hard for the bereaved pa rents to realize that in the midst of life dear little Louise must succumb to death. She was so bright and cheerful, and had been a bright ray of sunshine in their home for six years, having been born Nov. 15, 1903. It seems al most more than the human heart can bear to have these silver cords sever ed, and to place their loved one be neath the cold sod ; yet we must sub mit to the Lord’s will, for "He giveth, and He taketh away.” it is too mys terious for the human heart to under stand why such afilictions are placed upon, them and we can only commend them to a higher power for comfort, for ’tis through Him alone that bueh wounds are healed, and all must be brought to the stern realization that Ho knoweth and doeth all things well. The greatest comfort we can offer the bereaved family is that they can go to her, and there live throughout eternity amidst the nleasuresof an eter nal home, away from the cares and heartaches of an earthly life. A Friend. Grantville. Ga., Sept. 10, 1909. We all like to brag of our ancestors, but sometimes forget to live so that our descendants can do the same thing. Obituary. On the morning of Aug. 10 the Death Angel entereil the home of Mr. J. A. Brown and claimed the gentle spirit of Mrs. Elizabeth Brown as his victim and wafted it to the land of rest, there to join with loved ones gone before. She found Jesus precious to her soul when young and united with the Meth odist church, remaining a faithful member until her death. Although she suffered intensely for six months, she bore her afflictions without complaint, thus showing the Christian spirit that becometh one who puts her trust in the Savior. She leaves a husband, two sons and two daughters to mourn their loss, besides a hust of other relatives. To the grief-stricken family we would sav : "Dry your tears, and realize that you have another tie in that beautiful world.” To the children let us say: "Remember your mother’s counsels, heed her warnings, emulate the exam ples she set before you, to her honor and to your good. Remember, she is not dead, but only gone to that beauti ful land, where site is waiting and watching the coming of her loved ones to that haven of rect. "Asleep is .To.UM. Messed sleep. part no more.

An American and a Scotsman were speaking about the intense cold in the north of Scotland. "Why it’s nothing at all compared to the cold we have in the States,” said the American. "I can recollect one winter when a sheep, jumping from a hillock into a field, became sud denly frozen on the way and stuck in the air like a mass of ice.” "But, good heavens, man.” ex claimed the Scotsman, "the law of gravity wouldn’t allow that!” "We don’t do things by halves at home,” replied the other. “The law of gravity was frozen too!” A baseball player had two fingers of his right hand pretty badly bunged up in practice, and on his wav home from the grounds he dropped into a doctor’s office to have them attended to. “Doctor,” he asked anxiously as he was leaving, "when this paw of mine heals will I be able to play the piano?” Certainly you will,” the doctor as sured him. "Well, then, you’ll be a wonder, Doc. Lnever could before.” A Missouri man has been put into jail for having married thirteen wives. He’s not a criminal. He’s a lunatic. Professional" Cards. THOS. J.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound? ” If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas.—“ When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sie.k for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor’s medicines, but nothing did me any good. “For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when t read an advertisment of Eydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. “My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. “ I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They won’t regret it, for it will surely cure you,” — Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks. Newnan Hardware Co.
