west of here known as the Hardi
son Missionary Baptist church,
costing somewhere about $1,000.
The other one is about one-fourth
of a mile north from here kndwn
as Jordan’s ohapel, just completed
aud painted at a cost of about
$800. These two ohurohes are
door neighbors, as either pastor
can stand in his pulpit and see
the one at the other church, as
they are only about £ of a mile
apart, and iu a very level country,
too. These churches are compar-
tively on the line of Houston
and Crawford counties. Rev. W.
L. Outts of Marshallville is pastor
of Hardison ohurch, having ser
vices every second Sunday and
Saturday. The community seems
to be improving with Rev. Cutt’s
advice once a month, which is
ably delivered. At Jordan’s
Chapel the first sermon was de
livered last Sunday by Rev.
George Caucey pastor of the
Methodist church at Society Hill
in Crawford county. Rev. Cau
sey took his text from St. John
18th ohapter 87th verse, from
which he delivered a most ablo
and influential sormon as to who
should be king and who is really
king. There is no doubt but
what members of Heaveu were
benefited by this plain-spoken
scripture advice. There were at
least two hundred people out to
hear the first sermon preaohed at
Jordon’s Ohapel. It not being
named until after services were
over, being left to a rising vote,
the name Jordon,b Chapel was sug
gested and carired by fully two
hundred rising votes. As this
will be a Methodist church, | and
no pastor chosen, yet we oan’t
tell how often we will have services
at this church, but the communiv
ty ishighly encouraged as the Bap
tists seem to turn out in full
blast for- the good oause intended
at the chapel. Of course when
the Methodists become organized
they will take pleasure in show
ing the Baptists the same good
will. These two churches are on
the borders of the old bloody
sixth of Crawford county who won
herself famous yeais ago when
getting drunk and fighting at a
country dogmy was considered
the best piece of humanity for
himself, family aud county, But
we are now upon a line which we
hope and trust will bring new
fame as we have three churches,
two schools,—one black school,
one black church, one white
school, and two white churches,—
within radius of one mile, collect
ing on chflrch days, two hun
dred- people, all abandoned the
‘‘bloody sixth” acts of years ex
cept a few whom we hope to con
quer soon, and will as soon as
they read St. John- 18th chapter
87th verse carefully as quoted in
the first sermon preached at Jor
dau’s Chapel, they will then find
out that whiskey! is not king.

beyond the stars.
Aunt Lu, as shei was better
known, was a woman of all the
attributes of true womanhood,
loving, tender kind and true.
She had reached the evening of
life,being in her 74th year. Tnuly
could she say with St. Paul, ‘T
have fought the good fight, I have
finished the course, I have kept
the faith;” and truly do we who
knew 1 her believe that, like Paul,
she has entered into a more per
fect day.
For a period of twenty months
she was oonfiued to her bed endur
ing untold sufferings and agonies
but bravely bearing all for her
Master’s sake.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
She has already oome,
Tis faith has brought her safe thus far,
And faith has led her home."
. When the death angel calls we
must go, but Oh if we be as ready
to answer the summon as Aunt Lu
was; ready, yes; and anxious to
lie relieved of mortality and to
put on immortality.
To sleep, to rest, and to awake
in the resurrection morn full of
glory and peace and love.
A devoted wife, a tender moth
er, a loving friend, and a conse
crated Christian, that is her record
aere, but up yonder beyond the
clouds, beyond the tomb, we know
that it will be nobler, purer, and
grander.
Mrs. Howard was the wife of
Mr. J. W. Howard, who was oall-
ed above several years ago.
She was the mother of seven
children six of whom survive her.
She was for years a consistent
member of Old Fellowship church.
To her children and friends in
whose hearts there is to-day an
aching void, we would say, emu
late your loved one’s example:
live like her, die like her, and
you will be attest with her around
the great white throne. A. G. S.
With our hearts full of grati
tude, we wish to thank our neigh
bors and friends for the kindness
and loving sympathy they extend
ed to us and to our loved mother
during her recent illness.
We will never forget you, for
you have touched the ohord of
human tenderness, and hence
forth we shall be nearbr together
than ever before.
Very Truly,
C. L. Howard.

How to Make a Husband Helpful.
In the first place, don’t let
your husband become fixed in the
notion that his activities properly
begin and end with bread-winning
for the family, while it is his priv
ilege to grumble at the food,
smoke in the parlor and play bil
liards at the club or some worse
place. Let him realize at the
start that a fair division of labor
calls for a deal more from him
than the oonduot of his business,
or the mere earning of a salary.
There are many things, says
the New York Journal, that a
husband may be trained to do
with care and kindness. Every
body knows that the wife makes
the home. But as a wife’s duties
at home consist in doing about
three times as much work as a
husband does in a day, it follows
that it is muoh easier for a husband
than for a wife to be happy. The
best way to make a wife liappy is
to take some of the work off her
hands.
A husband may be useful in
three departments—shoppings
household work and gardeu work.
The household work and garden
work. The household work is the
most important. With a little
tuition, and some supervision, a
man may be trusted to clean aud
paint windows, take up and beat,
oarpets, refill coal souttles, olean
sewing machines, chop wood,
clean bioyoles, oil locks and door B *
clean firpirous, wash oilcloth,
scrub stairs and do other work
that requires a pair of strong,arms
aud some muscle.
With a little judicious flattery
a husband takes kindly to the
office of nurse maid, and enables
the busy wife to make cakes and
clean up the kitoheu. Induoe
him to. make the children a doll
house, or the baby a chair and ta
ble. You know he is clever enough
to do Anything like that, and you
have only to toll him so to stark
him on the job. If you put the
children up to it, his fatherly
heart will respond at once.
Some husbands are obstreper
ous in the house. In that oase
turn your attention to the garden:
Let him build a hen house. The
man was never yet born who
didn’t think he could raise chick
ens. Yoti will, of course, say
how nice it is to have new-laid

Sixty-seven sailings a month of
first-class passenger steamships
will be made from New York for
European ports, This is provis
ion for 86,000 passengers between
April and September. An expert
estimate puts the amount paid for
steamship fares at $81,000,000
and the expenditures in Europe at
$70,000,000. This weighs heavily
against our four to five million
balance of trade.
No Pity Shown.
“For years fate was after me
continuously,” writes F. A. Gul-
lege of Verbena, Ala. “I had a
terrible case of piles, causing 24
tifbiors. When all failed Buck-
len’s Arnica Salve cured me.
Equally good for burns and all
aches and pains. Only 25 cents at
Holtzclaw’s Drugstore.
Brutally Tortured.
A case came to light that for
persistent and unmerciful torture
has perhaps never been equaled.
Joe Golobick of Colusa, Cal, writes
“For 15 years I endured insuffer
able pain from Rheumatism and
nothing relieved me though I tried
everything known. I came across
Electric Bitters and it’s the great
est medicine oh earth for that
trouble. A few bottles of it com
pletely relieved, and cured me.”
Just as good for liver and kidney
troubles and general debility. Sat
isfaction guaranteed. Only 50c at
Holtzclaw’s Drugstore.
ith his chickens and eggs your
husband’s spare time will be well
taken up. If it isn’t, he can>
train ivy up the wall, or sow mus
tard and cress* and carrots and!
turnips. The expenses will comb
out of his own pocket money,
these things not being an abso
lute necessity, as you will point
out. If he won’t give you > the
new-laid eggs, buy them from
him at a cent apiece, and grumble
if they are not very big.
Cholera Infantum.
This has long been regarded a,®
one of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases to which infants are
subject. It can be cured, howev
er, when properly treated. Afll
that is necessary is to give Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-^
rhoea Remedy and castor oil, as
directed with each bottle, and a
cure is certain. For sale by all
druggists.
