ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
IN ADVANC*.
Obituary.
it. W. Hendrix was born in South
Carolina on Aug. 4, 1H20. His parents
moved to Georgia when he was hut a
child, where he afterwards made his
home. He wbh married to MiH8 Martha
Hughen on Feb. 18, 1851; went to
heaven Oct. .10, 1914.
In his younger days he was one of
the county’s most prosperous and prom
inent farmers. He also served for a
time as Tax Collector. His integrity
as a citizen not only made him friends
in the neighborhood in which he lived,
hut reached beyond county lines, for
"Uncle Billie,” as he was frequently
called, was honored and admired all
over Coweta county.
He joined the Methodist church at
an early age, and was a faithful mem
ber as to attendance; but, like a good
many, he failed to live the life of a
Christian. About seven yeare ago,
however, while attending Pentecostal
meetings in Atlanta, his dear old heart
was made hungry for the peace and
contentment this world and its treas
ures had failed to give. So he gave up
his life of drunkenness and sin and
yielded his heart to God, was sanctified
and baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Thereafter he was as devout a Chris
tian as I have ever known.
Perhaps one of the most noticeable
traits of his character was unselfish
ness. This attribute won him many
friends, for his pocket-book as well as
bis heart always responded to anyone
whom he saw in need. His latter days
were not selfishly spent, but his ser
vice was for his Master and the benefit
of his fellow-man.
His home life was beautiful. He was
always agreeable. He never seemed
agitated or worried over the affairs of
life, but always wore an expression of
contentment. He was a man of prayer.
He had made his home with ub for the
past six years, and every morning af
ter rising he could be heard in the par
lor—-where he always went to pray—
pouring out his heart to God. Not only
in the morning did he commune with
his Lord, but all through the day. His
hours of rest at night were not all spent
in sleep, but the silence of midnight
was often broken by audible prayers
and praise to his God.
He had been in declining health for
several months, but was confined to his
bed only one week. This time he spent
in prayer and praise, and testifying to
his friends bs they came in to see him.
As we anxiously watched over his
bedside we wondered how wo could give
him up—one who was so dear to us, es
pecially me, in whom he had taken so
much interest. Still, we bowed our
heads and said, "Thy will be done, not
oura."
The I,ord was his Physician, and He
healed him by taking him home to
heaven. There he met his dear wife and
several children. Now his voice is min
gled with theirs, singing the glad an
thems of the redeemed.
He is survived by seven children and
a host of friends. Rev. E. L. Park, of
Atlanta, a dear friend of grandfather's,
conducted the funeral services. He was
then laid to rest in the Moreland ceme
tery until the coming of Jtsua.

The days, weeks and years slip away

flying years, but we can and should
keep the blessings they bring. Hold

Keep the memory of their joys. En

A chap went into a barber shop in the
Mile End road to be shaved. The bar
ber cut him and nicked him and gashed
him. When the job was over the chap
said:
"Give me a drink of water, pleaae."
"You aren't going to faint, I hope,"
said the barber, handing him a glass.
"No," said the man, mildly. "No, I
just want to see if my mouth’ll bold
water."

On Dec. 22, 1914, there passed into
eternal rest a beautiful character of the
olden times, Mrs. Mary Owen Buchan
an, a lady of ante-bellum days—one
who lived through the troublous times
of the War Between the StateB, but
who never forgot her Southern hospi
tality; one who had so much of the
"milk of human kindnesa" in her na
ture that, strong as she was in her love
of the Confederacy and the heroes of
the mighty conflict, she never cherish
ed in her heart a bitter thought of
those on the other side.
Mrs. Buchanan was born July E, 1825,
in Oglethrope county. She moved to
Newnan when 12 years old, the same
year uniting with Ebenezer Baptist
church, in the Sixth district; after
wards moving her letter to the Baptist
church here. She was the wife of
Judge Hugh Buchanan, marrying him
Jan. 28, 18-17. She waa the third
daughter of DaviB and Sarah Owen-
one of a family of twelve children, and
the mother of four children. Mr. E. S.
Buchanan, of this city, and Mr. Hugh
M. Buchanan, of Los Angeles, Cal.,
survive her. She was a good and fond
mother; a consecrated Christian work
er; a true friend and loving neighbor,
ever ready to lend a helping hand to
the sick and needy. Her life was an
example of devotion to the Master’s
cauae—her faithful conduct, an inspi
ration to those who knew her.
Mrs. Buchanan passed away at the
home of her granddaughter, Mrs. L.
H. Hill, in her 90th year. She died in
Christ, passing away like a child drop
ping into a dreamless sleep. Her body
rests beside her loved ones in the quiet
cemetery on the hill, there to await
the "touch of the flager of God, when
■hewill awake from her sleep.”
A Friend.
Newnan, Jan. 5, 1916.
The aged lady next door had been
quite ill, so one morning Willie's mother
said to her small son: "Willie, run
over and see how old Mrs. Smith is this
morning.”
Willie departed, but in a few mo
ments he came running back and Baid:
"She Bays its none of your business."
"Why, Willie!” exclaimed hia mother,
"what did you ask her?”
"Just what yog told me to," said
Willie; "I said you wanted to know how
old she was."
Turn over the leaf. You may regret
to place such a page on the record of
past years, but to mourn over it will
not change it. It is a page of your
paBt life now, and must count for or
against. Just let’s forget the past
and press on. A clean page is before
you, ready for the record of another
year. The great thing is to start it
right—and the greater thing is to keep
it right. Keep the end in view, and as
you Btart with a happy New Year it
may be youra to be happy all the year.
"1 don’t quite see the point of that
remark of yours,” said Mr. Skinner,
the grocer, aB he tied up the package
of sugar.
"What remark was that?" aBked the
customer.
"You just remarked that some men
had an olf-hand way of doing things.
And you wished I was one."
"Yes; I wished to remind you that
your hand wbb on the sugar when you
weighed it."
Cough Medicine for Children.
Never give a child a cough medicine
that contains opium in any form. When
opium is given other and more serious
diseases may follow. Long experience
has demonstrated that there is no bet
ter and safer medicine for coughs,
colds and croup in children than Cham
berlain's Cougn Remedy. It is equally
valuable for adultB. Try it. It con
tains no opium or other harmlful drug.

FROZEN FOODS.
And Why Care Should Be Exercised In

lAMPHOR’S TRAIL OF BLOOD.
The Cost In Human Lives For Gather

Every drop of camphor you use Is
estimated to have cost at least Its
weight lu human blood. There are
few things which demand a heavier
toll of lives than this pungent drug,
which Is so widely used tor Keeping
umths out of oar clothes and for mak

The reason for this Is that the tnoun

vaders of the island have been unable
to sulxlue.

This Is why fish that Is not market

It Is held that they may be kept bIx

PERSIA’S DEVIL PLANT.
It la Dsath to the Animal It Grips With
Its Claws.
The devil plant they call It in Persia,
and well they may, for It is more dead
ly to tlie Bocks and herds that play so
important a part in their life than is
the loco weed to the herds of our
southwestern states.
It is in the fall that the devil plant
gets in its deadly work. The flowers
give place to seed pods with great
belly like capsules and long, stiff claws
like those of a beast of prey. These
are hidden under the brown and yel
low leaves, atid when a grazing animal
—a sheep, n camel, a wild ass or an
antelope, for example—browses among
the foliage the claws hook themselves
into its nostrils. The animal tries to
nib them off, but tbo more It rubB the
deeper it forces the clawlike hooka
into Its skin. Its throat becomes so
Inflamed that It can neither eat nor
drink, and consequently it dies of star
vation and pain.
The animal's body lies In the open
and decays, and Into the decomposing
flesh tbe hundreds of black seeds con
tained In the capsules of tbe clawed
pod arc discharged, for It seems that
earth is not rich enough for them and
only in decayed flesh can they find
enough nourishment
Drivers of csravans curse the devil
plant, for it may cost them many of
their beasts when these are turned
loose to graze nt night But most of
the semlwild tiensts that graze In the
country hnve learned to avoid it even
as tbo Americun herds hnve learned to
avoid the deadly loco weed.—New York

These savages are quite alive to tho
value of the camphor trees and fierce
ly oppose all attempts to get posses
sion uf the forests. l’belr hostility
makes tbe gathering of camphor a
most hazardous occupation and one In
which a loaded rifle Is the most Indis
pensable tool.
Since tlie Japanese took the Island
after their successful campaign against
Chinn tn the nineties they have been
carrying on n carefully conceived plan
of gradual penetration of the valuable
camphor regions. They make paths
six feet In width through the vtrgln
forests. At Intervals of every 120
yards stands a guardhouse, and every
fourth or fifth guardhouse Is a small
fort, Intrenched and defended by barb
ed wire entanglements, such as are
being used on the battle grounds of
Europe. Telephonic intercommunica
tion. machine guns and all the re
source* of western military science
are employed, and tbe line* a re pushed
gradually forward.
In spite of these elaborate precau
tions, the loss among the camphor
gatherers amounts to hundreds of
deaths annually.
It is calculated that Formosa con
tains about a million camphor trees,
some 10.000 of which are cut down
every year. At this rate the snpply
will be exhausted in a hundred yearn,
but when the country ia thoroughly
pacified there is no doubt that the Jap
anese will see that reafforestation la

Tbe savages who are making to

War's Deaths Merely a Trifle.
Tbe total population of the earth la
about 1.800.000.000. Annually there

<50,000.000 or 70.000.000 die. Thla
means n dally birth rate of about 220,-

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Women from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from all sections
of this great country, no city so large, no village so small
but that some woman has written words of thanks for
health restored by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. No woman who is suffering from the ills peculiar
to her sex should rest until she has given this famous remedy
a trial. Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for
these women it will do for any sick woman ?
Wonderful Case of Mrs. Crusen,
of Bushnell, III.
Btybhnell, III.—“ I think all the trouble I have had since my
marriage was caused by exposure when a young girl. My work has
been housework of all kinds, and I have done milking in the cold and
snow when I was too young to realize that it would hurt me. I have;
Buffered very much with bearing down pains in my back and such,
miserable pains across me, and was very nervous and generally run
down in health, but since I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound my back never hurts me, my nerves are stronger, and I
am gaining in health every day. I thank you for the great help I
have received from your medicine, and if my letter will benefit suf
fering women I will be glad for you to print it.”—Mrs. Jamas Cbuscn,
Bushnell, Illinois.
A Grateful Atlantic Coast Woman.
Hodgdon, Me.—“ I feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to
tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did for me. Ono
year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides
and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My
back ached, I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep,
then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around.
It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would be any better until I submitted to an opera
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good
appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fam
ily of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your
medicine.”—Mrs. Hayward Sowers, Hodgdon, Maine.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male His. No one sick with woman’s ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many sufferingwomen to health.

A woman solved the problem. Mrs. Joseph Darling of Washington had
been knitting stockings and scarfs for European war sufferers until It occurred
to her that she might he using her brains as well as her fingers. She sat down
forthwith and thought out the Idea of “food boxes for Belgium." Mrs. Darting
saw Dr. Harvey Wiley, who laid out the ideal food boxes for Belgian relief,
and their plan has now been taken up by the woman's section of the commis
sion for relief in Belgium, of which Mrs. Llndon Bates is chairman.
Dr. Wiley's box for Belgian adults, as slightly revised to get its weight
Inside the parcel post regulations, to as follows; Three No. 3 tins of beans,
three No. 1 tins of pink Alaska salmon, one five-pound sack of rolled oats, one
five-pound sack of yellow com meal, on# five-pound sack of yellow split peas,
one two-pound sack of granulated sugar, one three-pound sack of California
prunes, one seven-pound sack of wheat flour, one one-pound sack of salt one
can opener, one box.
That however. Is only a guide to the kind of food which the Belgians need.
It la intended mainly for such Americana as can afford to go and order boxes
from the grocer. Belgium wants any klnd'of food which will stand ocean
