The Herald and Advertiser NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 1 5. 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. Ruby Cates. The days, weeks and years slip away like water in a running stream. Time's great clock never loseB a moment. Re lentlessly, surely, the moments pass, and our eager hands are not able to de tain them. We cannot keep back the flying years, but we can and should keep the blessings they bring. Hold fast to the lessons they have taught. Keep the memory of their joys. En rich every day of life with the garnered wealth of the days behind. 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." In Memoriam. * Of all thf» thhusrhts of God that aro Horn*' Inward unto houIh afur Along tho PralmlMt'a muffle deep.

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.

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. For sale by all dealers. "Walter Jones," said the teacher sternly, "you are not attending to the lesson.

I'lltrefiictlon is due to two causes— micro-organisms, which are present ev erywhere. and eertala ferments nor mally contained In the flesh, which cause changes In composition and fla vor. A temperature of 32 degrees checks the action or the former, but has little effect upon the latter.

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 lug liniments nud other remedies The reason for this Is that the tnoun tuitions parts ot tile island ot Formosa, from whlcti the world gets most of its camphor, are inhabited by Dead hunt ing savages, whom the successive In vaders of the island have been unable to sulxlue. some. This Is why fish that Is not market ed perfectly fresh Is frozen. In prac tice 23 degrees F. Lh regarded as the proper temperature for storing frozen flsh. Oysters should not be frozen. nDd It Is held that they may be kept bIx weeks at a temperature of 40 degrees. A bulletin of the United StateB de partment of agriculture speaks as fol lows of tlie possible dangers from ent- lng flsh: “The formation of ptomaines quite generally, although not always, accom panies putrefnctlon (being greatest, It Is suld, In Its early stages), and there fore great care should be takeD to eat flsh only when It Is In perfect condi tion.

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 World.

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 properly undertaken and an inexhaust ible supply Insured.

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.
