a? r*. Lizzie >1ere«lltll,
\\ if*- c>f J. N. Meredith, and
daughter of James Roberts, died
at hei home, neat Chii'kaeiauga,
Ga., on the 16th day of last April
of pneumonia after an illness of
one week. Aged 29years.
She was a member of Crawfish
Baptist Church. Her remains
were laid to rest iu Antioch ceme
tery to await the sound of God’s
trumpet that is to awake the
sleeping nations. The funeral
service was conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. R. L. Trotter.
Bhe was an affectionate and de
voted wife. As a friend, ardent
and faithful. She was loved by
all who kuew her for her amiabil
ity and her pure Christian char
acter. She was the mother of one
sweet little babe nine months old,
and stepmother of three bright
little boys, aged 11, 7 and 6. In
fact she was a real mother to
them. In acts she was ever gen
tle, kind and affeetionute to them.
Though the hearts and home of
husband and children have been
shadowed by her untimely death
the beautiful mansion above will
glow with intense reality now that
her bright spirit mingles with the
ransomed host “over there.”
“ Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord. They rest from their
labors and their works do follow
them.
Sister tlioil want mild and lovely.
Gentle ax llie summer lireeze,
l’i< amid as tile a'r of evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy quiet slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more will join onrnumber,
Tliou no more our songs shall know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When tlio day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

. She was the wife of Richard
Ward and sister to Rev. Richard
. Harwell and Mrs. Eliza Chastain.
Mrs. Ward was born about sixty
’ years ago. She was remarkable
for her energy, intelligence and
refinement. She put and kept
her house iu order; but like the
. sweet little flowers and morning
glories, she is no more. She has
, passed away. Her gentle spirit
> has taken its flight. She is gone.
Her husband can say from the
, very sanctuary of his soul what a
true, noble and grand woman she
was. Her children can each and
all of them say what a kind and
blessed mother she was to me. If
a neighbor was sick or in trouble
and distress and she know it, she
never waited to bo sent for, but
she went and did all the good she
could. Indeed it is said of her
by her neighbors, relatives and
friends that it whs her highest do* i
light to visit the sick and do acts
of kindness; and by so doing the
world has been made better by
her having lived, and her memo
ry will ho a lasting monument.
It was the writer’s pleasant
privilege to visit her a short time !
before her pure spirit was trans
ferred to its heavenly mansion
and she said, "I am weak, l am
very weak, hut just so sure as 1
am iu this condition, just so sure
there is a God in heaven to take
care of me.” As she said those
solemn aud impressive words her!
eyes seemed to take on new life; 1
she then raised her weak and
trembling hand and pointed it in
the direction of our triumphant
home.
She rests in the beautiful cerne- 1
tery near Peavine church.

Lookout for It.
A strauge spider, it is reported,
has appeared in great numbers in
the lowlands and valleys about
Hermosillo, Mex., aud is giving
the natiyes great alarm. It is pe
culiarly ferocious aud manifests
no fear of anything, not hesitat
ing to give chase to men who dis
turb it. It is considerably larger
than the tarantula, common in
those regions, aud is terribly poi
sonous. Three deaths have been
lately reported from its bite. It is
a hairy insect and has legs as
large as a pipe stem. It runs with
remarkable agility, aud climbs
the stick or whip toward hand of
any oue who strikes at it. It is a ,
newcomer to the section, and. so
far, no one has been found who 1
has seen it before. One of the 1
deaths was that of a Mexieau who
was riding along and saw oue of
the spiders. He struck at it with
his whip, and before he could drop
the whip the spider was at his '
hand aud had bitteu him. He j
died within three hours in great
agony. The spiders hop along
the grouud iu great leaps toward
the object of their attack.
On tin- Candidates
Congressman O'Farr..ll of Vir
ginia says: “Harrison is the
i weakest candidate the Republi
’j cans could have nominated so far
jas the Southern States ire cou
i cerned. In those states ho is
■ ] weak in his own party except
■! among his officeholders. Blaine
1 would have been much stronger.
« Weaver can do less harm than
■ uny candidate the third party
could have put in the field. He
i is known to ho a wild and erratic
i man—everything by turn and
nothing long—first a South-hat
! ing, South-damning Republican,
- then a Greenbacker, then a
Knight of Labor, then a Demo
• crat, then an Alliancemau and
; now u third partyite. He lias ex
hausted the vocabulary in his de
nunciation of the Southern peo
• pie, and declared that those ‘who
i were not shot or hung are again
■ conspiring to get possession of
E the Government.’ He has de
nounced them as ‘a hungry, re
i bellious, man-hating, woman-sell
: ing gang,’and'as late as July 10>
1888, declared on the floor of the
■ House of Representatives that he
■ ‘had nothing’ to take back.”
Eczema, scalp covered with
eruptions, doctors proven value
less. P.P.P.was tried and the hair
began to grow again, not a pim
ple can lie seen, and P. P. P.
again proved itself a wonderful
skin cure.
“The blue jay,” says a bird
sharp iu the New York Tribune,
“is the most persistent practical
joker iu the feathered kingdom.
. He will conceal himself in aolmnp
of leaves near the spot whore
• | small birds are accustomed to
gather, and when they are enjoy
, ing them-.lives in their own sash
. ion, will suddenly frighten them
almost to death, by screaming
out like a hawk. Os course they
scatter in eyery direction, and
when they do so the mischievous
rascal gives vent to a cackle that
sounds very much like a laugh.
If he confined his pranks to such
jokes as this, however, he would
not bo such a bail neighbor to
birds smaller than himself, but
when he amuses himself by break
ing the eggs in their nests and
aud tearing the young to pieces
with his bill, he becomes a pesti
lent nuisance, and they often com
bine their forces to drive him out
of the neighborhood. They do
not always succeed, for he is as
full of fight as mischief, but a se
vere conflict teaches him that they
too have their rights, and this
induces him to mend his man
ners.”
Do not wear impermeable and
tight-fitting hats that constrict the
blood-yessel of the scalp. Use
Hall's Mair lienewer occasionally,
aud you will not be bald.
“Some animals exhibit a queer
lack of sense,” said a man who
has observed them, to a New
York Tribune, writer.
“Put a buzzard iu a peu about
six feet square and open at the
top, and it is as much a prisoner
as if it was shut up in a box. This
is because buzzards always begin
their flight by taking a short run,
and they either cannot or will not
attempt to fly unless they can do
so. Again, take a common bum
ble bee aud put it in a goblet. It
will remain a prisoner for hours,
trying to escape through the sides
without ever thinking of escaping
through the top. So also a bat
cannot rise from a perfectly level
surface. Although it is remark
ably nimble in its flight when
once on the wing and can fly for
many hours at a time, without
taking the least rest, if placed on
the floor or on flat ground it is ab
solutely unable to use its wings.
The only thing it can do is to
shuttle helplessly and painfully
along, until it reaches some tri
fling elevation, from which itfean
throw itself into the air, when at
once it is off like a flash.’’
