In Memory of Cousin Nettie.
Written for tlio Homo Journal.
I feel that there can not bo too
much said In respect to the mem
ory of this swetrt woman, and
though much will be said; I feel
that I owe some tribute of love to
the one that my life so recently
"came in contact with. I can
truthfully say that there are none
who loved this noble woman more
than the writer.
It is so natural for us to magni
fy the virtues, and talents of our
loved ones; but after all, we know
them better than any one else,
aud why should we not with pro
priety speak of these things, espe
cially in a wrifcton tribute like
this, which is the last, perhaps,
until we shall see her in the res
urrection morn. I knew cousin
Nettie only a few short months.
Never will I forget the unex
pected occasion that I met her. I
loved her from the first. She was
good in every acceptation of the
term; her charities and charms
endeared her to all. I went with,
her to her home and spent two or
three days at her home. The im
pression that she made on my
mind while there, will never be
erased. She came as near being
my ideal of a true woman as any
one I ever knew. She. told me
that she stood bride’s inaid with
my own sweet mother when she
wa9 married. It is no wonder
then that the love that had al
ready sprung up between us was
strengthened.
I never saw Cousin Nettie after
then until about a month ago, I
visited her again in her homo.
She came >.to meet me with the
same pleasant smile. Little did
I think that would be the last
time she would over meet me.
Moving bo far from my mother, I
had hoped to look upon Cousin
Nettie as another. I know it is
natural for her loved ones to bl
deeply grieved for the loss of one
so excellent, and at the present
all oonsolation to them must
seem impossible. But God has
ordained that Time shall bring
comfort to all earthly sorrow.
Cousin Nettie Hiokt O 1 was a wo*
manjwhoso place will not be easily
filled in the world; how impossible
to fill it in her home.
Her dear husband and daughter,
even in their loss, are fortunate,
ior she left behind her a name un
sullied, which Bhould bo a pre
cious legacy to them.
My mind naturally reverts to
that favorite poem:
“ 'l’is hard to part when friends are dear,
Perhaps ’twill cost a sigh or tear;
Thou steal away, give little warning,
Say not good-ni Jvtl bat iu some bright
er o lira a,
Bid me Good morning. I”
With profound sorrow we give
her up even for a short while, but
we are comforted with the thought
that we will bid her “Good morn
ing” in some brighter clime and
then wo will understand.
We all oondole with the family
sincerely in this sad event, and if
the sympathy of friends can be
any consolation under the trying
oircuinstances, be assured that all
who knew her share in your sor
row.
God in his own good time will
give you the peace that will ena
ble you to wait with patience un
til He shall call you to meet your
loved one in Heaven.

How to Cure tiro Grip.
Remain quietly at home and
take Chamberlain’s Cough Reme
dy as directed and a quick recov
ery is sure to follow. That reme
dy counteracts any tendency of
the grip to result in pneumonia,
which is really the’ only serious
danger. Among the tens of thous
ands who have used it for the
' grip, not one case has ever been
reported that did not recover.

Resolutions Upon The Death Of fero.
John Houston.
First. That as God in His all
wise providence,?has seen fit to
call from our midst, our beloved
brother in Christ, Mr. John Hous
ton, that we bow submissively to
that holy will, remembering that
our brother always lived such a
life as assures us now! that he is
by his Father’s side in “His Ain
Coutnrie,” singing the glad songs
of the redeemed.
Second. That in the loss of
brother Houston, our Missionary
societies; both Home and Foreign,
have been losers indeed, for he
ever took such active interest in
all the work of the blessed Mas
ter.
Third. That we extend to his
bereaved family, especialy his on
ly daughter, our tenderest sympa
thy, our hearts truest love, and
our earnest prayers, that God will
soften to her, this crushing grief;
sustaining her with with His
boundless love.
Fourth. That these resolutions
be published in our paper, that a
copy be placed on cur minutes
and a copy furnished, the bereav
ed family. Mrs. .T W. Simmons,

Danger o! Colds mid EaGrippe.
The greatest danger from colds
and lagrippe is their resulting in
pneumonia. If reasonable care is
used, however, and Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy taken, all danger
will be avoided, Among tfye tens
of thousands who have used this
remedy for these diseases, we have
yet to learn of a single case hav
ing resulted in pneumonia, which
shows conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dan
gerous malady. It will cure a
cold or an attack of la grippe in
less time than any other treat
ment. It is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all dealers in

A Gain From a Loss.
Augusta Herald.
So strong is the vein of selfishness
that rugs through the character of
most normally constituted human
beings that the surest and most di
rect method of appealing to the ma
jority of men and women in behalf
of some reform is to search them
through the medium of this inher
ent selfishness.
If this reason, if not for the many
better reasons apparent, the good
sense of a well-known writer who
offers personal gain as a reward for
ridding itself of the hateful vice of
envy is to be highly commended. So
healthful and helpful is the tone of
his remarks, although he dwells
chiefly upon the punishment attend
ant upon cherishing envy that every
word he had" written on the subject
is worth remembering and worth
repeating:
“Envy is a disease which feeds on
its own growth. It is its own pun
ishment and its own deBtiny. Its
prevalence is its severest condemns-
tion. It is the one pain which we
all suffer. It is the one weakness
which is too strong for all. If it
were the smallpox we would call in
a physician and tack up a red card
on the house. But as it is envy we
feel that we are made that way and
mistake complacency for resignation
as we submit to its pangs. As a
matter of fact, there is nothing of
which we can afford to be envious.
Every peach has a pit —though we
can’t see it. Life is life, and God
has no special moulds. The king
upon the throne haB more opportu
nities for bitter and galling disap
pointments than the peasant in the
hut. Each are equally the sport of
fate or the masters of circumstances,
as they may choose. When you
are temped to envy the fortunes- of
others, bear in mind that from every
hilltop there loom* a valiey beyond-
aud that so long as the heart can
desire the lot or the posessions of
others there will always be others;
to envy. Envy is a footless waste
of priofchappioo^
Tolls Its Own Story.
A merchant who had two stores
in small villages tried an experi
ment. He put a bargain counter
in each store containing the same
articles at exactly the same price.
In the newspaper of one village
he advertised his special counter.
In the other villafie ho did not
advertise, and sold goods amount
ing to $984. In the store in the
village where he did advertise,
he sold goods amounting to $1,728.
In commenting on the result of
his experiment that merchant
says: “People who got the adver
tisement would pass by one of
my stores and drive miles to the
other.—Gadsden Times.

This is a great Democratic coun
try, but a in an in London ha3
made a small fortune in tracing;
the pedigrees of American mill- j
ionaires back to the ancient Sax- j
on and Norman nobility of Great i
Britain. Familiarity with works!
of heraldry makes the mamifao- j
ture of coats of arms as easy as it.j
is profitable. It is au interesting i
fact that there is little of this
foolish genealogy hunting among
the numerous American decend-
ants of German immigrants. Lon
don appears to be the only mar
ket for the supply of American
pedigrees.
When you wake up with a bad
taste in your mouth you may know
that you need a dose of Chamber

They will cleanse your stomach, im-
