Thanksgiving with the old folks at home —it does
satisfy! For your smoking, Chesterfields do the
same thing—they satisfy !
But Chesterfields are MILD, too —that’s the
wonder of it.
Don’t expect this new cigarette enjoyment (satisfy,
yet mild ) from any cigarette but Chesterfields, be
cause no cigarette maker can copy the Chesterfield
blend —an entirely new combination of tobaccos and
the biggest discovery in cigarette making in 20 years.

CIGARETTES
IN MEMORY OF UNCLE E. M.
TATE
Who died August 25, 1915, be
ing at the time of his death 80 years
old. Bro. Tate’s fattier and mother
were of undisputed piety and it was
to be expected that early in life he
would repent of his sins, give God
his heart and life and unite with
the church of his father and moth
er's (hoice, which he did when a
boul I* years old, and united with
Concord M. E. church and was a
member the remainder of his life.
Bit. Tate was married twice, the
lirst time to Miss Lettie Shahan, who
only lived about one year after they
were married. In about two years
lie was to Miss E. D. Hay. Os this
union there were eight children
horn, four boys and four girls. Three
girls and one hoy preceded him to
Hie spirit world. Three hoys and one
girl ore still living, also his second
wife. Bro. Tate had live brothers
and three sisters, all of whom are
dead hut one brother and one sister,
to-wit: Jesse Tate and Miss Sarah
Tate.
Back in the sixties Bro. Tate ans
wered his country’s call and volun
teered as a soldier in the southern
annv and went through Hie trying
experience of a soldier life hut was
spared through it all and returned
home to take up life’s duties as a

Bro Tate was of cheerful, sunny
disposition. He always had a smile
ami n hearty handshake for the peo
ple as he met them through life,
which is worth much in this life.
While Bro. Tate did not claim per
fection, we believe in the main he
was for the right and we believe he
is now reaping the reward of the
finally faithful. So would say to his
family, loved ones and friends, “Look
up, live for hod and the right and
after while when taken from this
world you too shall receive a crown
of righteousness, which (he Lord,
the Righteous Judge, will give to all
who love His appearing..”
