CHRONIC COUGH
Mr. Cray, of E’wood, Ind., Declares
Vinol Cured His Daughter's Chronic
Cough After All Other Means Had
Failed.
SAYS SHE OWES LIFE TO VINOL.
“My fourteen year old daughter
had a very bad cough, was weak,
emaciated, and had no appetite Two
of our best physicians had done her
no good. On advice I procured for
her a bottle of Vinol and she soon
began to improve. She continued un
til she had taken several bottles of
it, and she has completely recovered
her health.
“We undoubtedly owe her life to
Vinol, as I am certain that if it
had not been for it she would have
been dead ere this. We never miss
the opportunity of saying agood
word for Vinol.” James Gray, El
wood, Ind;
Many cases like the above are con
stantly coming to our attention
where this cod liver and iron prepa
ration Vinol has cured chronic
coughs, colds and bronchitis and built
up health and strength for old peo
ple, delicate children, run-down, weak
and debilitated people after all oth
er means had failed.
Try Vinol. If it does you no good
we will return your money; that’s
your guarantee, but we know it will
benefit you. The Summerville Drug

Following a movement started in
Dallas, Texas, preparations are being
made for the holding of an anti
saloon convention of negroes of the
south at Atlanta, Ga„ February 26th.
The meeting is to be known as “The
Southern Negro Anti-Saloon Con
gress,” and it is declared to be the
intention to make the affair an epoch
in the history of the negro race in
the south. The programme includes
an address by some of the South’s
ablest men, both white and black.
The committee making the announce
ment says: “We are determined to
prove to our worthy white friends
that we are as profoundly conserned
in the great moral movement as any
others.
A knife, the blade of which curves
to one side at the end and is cut
into prongs to form a fork, has been
invented for the use of one-armed
persons.

Last year California produced gold
worth $16,853,500, which was 18
per cent, of the gold mined in the
United States, Alaska included. Only
three countries in the world, outside
of America, beat that one American
state. The California gold yield was
equal to about $lO to every man,
woman and child in the state. Last
year California has shipped eastward
oranges valued at $24,375,000. The
golden fruit of the groves was worth
nearly 50 per cent, more than the
metallic gold of its mines, probably
fully that proportion above the gold
yield, taking account of the oranges
consumed in the state.
A great many people have kidney
and bladder trouble, mainly due to

In Memory of Mrs. Blanch Chase
Scoggins.
Sister Blanch Chase Scoggins de
parted this life Oct. 36. 1908. She
was born in Whitfield county Octo
ber x 1888, professed religion at the
early age of 13, and joined the Meth
odist church, at Griffin Chappel. Her
father and family moved to Chattoo
ga county in 1903, where she lived
until her death.
One way in which she evidenced
her zeal and earnestness for the
cause of Christ—while but a timid
and modest girl—she hailed, while
passing her father's house, one of
the members of Subligna church, and
delivered her church letter, with the
request that her name be enrolled on
the church book, there having not
been to this time, an opportunity
given for membership. Her whole
life was characterized by a sweet,
Christ-like spirit, always showing a
willingness and readiness to do what
she could for the cause she so early
in life espoused.
On October 1, 1907, she was united
in wedlock to Arthur Scoggins, and
from a human standpoint, she had
the promise of a long and happy life.
But alas! she had drifted only a lit th
way from shore, on the great ocean
of life, when the angel of death
hovered about her home and summon
ed her to come on high. For the
love she bore for her little six weeks
old baby, and her loving companion,
she made a brave fight for life, but
after a few weeks of uncomplaining
suffering, she yielded to the inevit
ble. The funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. C. S. Martin. The
words spoken were full of love and
sympathy. The body was laid to
rest in the Subligna cemetery to
await the resurrection morn.
She is survived by other than hus
band and little babe, a father, mother
and five brothers and sisters each,
and a host of friends and relatives
to mourn her loss. While al these
grieve and sorrow because of her ab
sence, we believe their loss is her
gain. Therefore we bid you take
courage and look to Him who doeth
al things well.
Blanch is not dead, but sleepeth.
She has passed through that shadow
vail that excludes from our vision
that bright and beautiful world be
yond. Sometimes, with our imper
fect natures, we almost conclude that
our Heavenly Father is cruel in His
dispensation toward us, but let us
remember that God works in myste
rious ways His wonders to perform.
It is not for us to pierce the myste
ries of life, for many times a frown
ing Providence hides a smiling face.

In Memory of Dear Little Alice
Cameron.
In the midst of the fold there came
A pure little lamb one day;
But enemies threatened its tender
frame,
So the Shepherd who knoweth His
sheep by name
Lifted and bore it away.
Still the flock struggles on in storm
and calm,
Mid dangers at home and abroad;
And the way seemeth long;
But the little white lamb bides safe
in the fold of God.
Into earth’s wide spreading garden
there grew
A pure little bud one day;
But storms beat about it and cold
winds blew,
So the Gardener, loving and wise,
and true,
Plucked it, and took it away.
And blight that mildews and winds
that blow
May smite with a pitiless rod;
But neither can reach where the
little white rose
Unfolds in the garden of God.
Into the shelter of home three sped
A pure little soul one day;
And love lavished welcome on its
dear head;
But the Savior who saw where its
pathway led
Pitied and called it away.
And the hand that clung and the
eyes that wept
Knew never the way it trod.
But oh! for the joy of the white
soul kept
Unstained in the presence of God.
Oh! ye who wait in the empty fold —
In the garden dispelled of bloom;
In the lonely home where the years
are told;
And the path that leads to the city
of God
Seems hid from sight in the gloom—
Be glad, for the treasure* you cher
ished of yore
In your Father’s safe care doth re
main;
And the love that bereft will as sure
restore
His own to their lost again.

The Old
Speckled Hen.
By M. QUAD.
Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McClure.
The Thompsons and the Browns,
farmers, had been neighbors for ten
years, when in the same year Abel
Thompson was left a widower and
Aunt Martha Brown a widow. Plenty
of people said it would be only natural
for the two to marry after a year or
so, but what the principals in tho
case thought of it did not come out
for over two years. The farmer
and the widow saw each other every
day during this time. She continued
to run her farm by the help of a hired
man, but be was more or less interest
ed. They sat together of evenings and
talked of everything but what other
people were talking about
It was one evening in winter after
the farmer had imbibed a quart of
elder and eaten three or four apples
and realized the loneliness of his own
homo that he hitched around on his
cha’’ for awhile and then said:
“ ,'idder, there was a windmill man
ak ag today. He wants to put up a
mill for me in the spring.”
“Yes, windmill men come long about
once in so often,” she replied.
"He 'pears to have a purty good
mill.”
“Yes?”
“And the price Is purty reasonable."
“Yes?"
“We wasn't talkin’ about windmills
all the time," continued Abel as he
motioned for another glass of cider.
“We was talkin’ about other things."
“They are great folks to gab. I’ve
known ’em to hang around all day and
do nothin’ but talk."
“That windmill man said folks was

TO HAVE A MAN ABOUND."
wonderin' why I didn't git married
ag’ln.”
"What Impudence!”
“He said folks was a-sayln’ that It
was my duty to."
"Humph!”
"And he said folks was wonderin’
wby you didn’t git married ag’ln.”
“Just as if it was anybody’s busi
ness!” snapped Aunt Martha.
“He said folks said It was your
duty."
"Well, If folks will attend to their
own business I’ll attend to my duty.
I'll tell ’em so If they come talkin’ to
me. I hope you didn’t encourage him
to keep on gabbin’!"
“N-o-o. I hadn’t much to say, though
after he’d gone I did considerable
thinkin’. I’m a lonely man. Aunt Mar
tha."
“You orter git a fiddle and learn to
play on It”
“Sho! I haln’t talkin’ about fiddles.
I’m a-sayln’ that If I had a wife around
the house things would be different.
Just another swaller of that cider,
please. I’m thinkin’ you’ve got the
best cider In the neighborhood. Yes,
Aunt Martha, things would be differ
ent.”
“Well, why don’t you go and git mar
ried then?"
“Gosh hang It, I will. That’s what I
come over here this evenin’ for. Aunt
Martha, we have known each other a
long time. I know you are a mighty
good woman, and you know I’m a
purty good man. Our farms jine, and
I can run two farms as well as one.
You must bo lonesome too. There
must be times when you’d like to have
a man around the house to manage
things. You’ve got twenty-eight hogs,,
and if the cholera breaks out among
’em what on earth you goin’ to do? I
was a-thlnkln’ to myself last night”—
“Abel, stop right there,” said the
widow, kindly, but emphatically. “I
know you to be a good man, but I
haln’t in love with you. You haven’t
teched my heart yet Until you do I
don’t want to talk about marriage.
You jest go right along bein’ good and
feelln’ lonesome, and If I find my love
bein’ aroused I'll tell you so.”
"That's only fair,” said the suitor as
he rose up to go T hain’t one to drive
a woman Into marriage as one drives
hogs. I’ll keep right on and take your
word for it. and If you find you can’t
love me I’ll stay single all the reat of
my day*. I’m kinder sot on you, you
eee, and I don't want nobody else.”
During the next month things went
along aa usual, and there was no fur
ther reference to matrimony. Then
Abel was sent for, and as he reached
the widow’s house she said:
“Abel, my sister, over at Tompkins
ville, is sick and has sent for me. I’m
goln’ over and may be gone three or
four days.”
“Well, I’ll run things the best I can
while you’re gone,” he replied.
"What I want you to look out for in
particular Is that old speckled hen.
You know I've had her for the last
ten years, and I’ve learned to think a
good deal of her. She hain’t well ’tall
jest now, and I hate to go away and
leave her. She’s got signs of the pip,
and If I should come back and find her
dead It would almost break my heart.
Abel, I want you to be kind to her. I
want you to sympathize with her. I
want you to doctor and nurse her.”
"I’ll do it, Aunt Martha. I’ll Jest put
In all my time nursin’ her up. I’ll be
jest as kind to her as I would be to a
baby.”
"That’s good of you. She's only a
critter, but when one gits use to a crit
ter he can even love an old speckled
hen. Sho ain’t laid an egg for these
five years past, but she’s got a bold on
my affections for the eggs she used to
lay. Why, she’s laid over a hundred
with double yolks, and one time she
fit and licked a chicken hawk.”
"You go right on, widder, nnd leave
It all to me,” said the fanner. “I’ll do
jest as much for that old hen as I
would for a brother. I haln’t sot up
a night for the last twenty years, but
If she's taken bad I shan’t close my
eyes till you git back."
The widow departed, and half an
hour later Abel was carrying the old
hen home under his arm. The three
days went past, nnd the widow re
turned. She had only entered her
house when the farmer appeared with
the hen In a basket. He bad her
wrapped In red woolen cloths. She
smelled of camphor and various lini
ments. Her toes had been trimmed
and greased, and he had applied salvo
to her comb. With proud deliberate
ness he removed wrap after wrap and
finally reached the last end and set the
hen down on the fioor with:
"There she is. Aunt Martha, and jest
as good as she was five years ago. I’ve
worked over her for three days, and
I’m tellln’ you there hain’t a hen In
the hull county can come up to her."
“How splendid of you, Abel—how
splendid!” gasped tho widow, and as
If to corroborate her words the hen
raised her head, swelled out her breast
and tried to give utterance to a crow.
"See that—hear that, widder?” asked
Abel.
“Yes, I do, and, oh, Abel”—
“Is your heart teched, widder?”
"It is, and—and"—
“And you'll be mine?"
That was In March, and they were
married In May, and tho old speckled
hen was alive at last accounts and
making efforts to return to her duty.
The Fleet War Correspondents.
In a sense Julius Caesar was a war
correspondent, only he did not send
his "Commentaries” piecemeal from the
“theater of war,” but Indited them nt
bls leisure In the subsequent peace
time. The old Swedish Intelligencer
of the Gustavus Adolphus period was
genuine war correspondence, publish
ed, Indeed, tardily compared with our
news of today, but nevertheless fresh
from the scene of action, full of dis
tinctiveness, quaint and racy beyond
compare. The first modern war corre
spondent professionally commissioned
and paid by a newspaper was tho lato
G. L. Grunelsen, a well known literary
man, who was sent to Spain by tho
London Post with the Spanish legion
which Sir de Lacy Evans commanded
In 1837 lu the service of the queen of
Spain. But this new departure was
not followed up, and no English paper
was represented In the great battles of
the first and second Punjab wars.
A Clock That Stutters.
Gerund, who stuttered badly, return
ed home at 4 a. m. In a blissful mood
from an “evening" at the club. On en
tering the house he was greeted from
above by Mrs. Gerund, and the follow
ing dialogue ensued:
"Is that you, John?" asked Mrs. Ge
rund from the landing.
“Y-y-yes, m'dear; that’s m-me,” de
lightedly answered Gerund.
"What do you mean, sir,” thundered
his wife, “by coming home at 4
o’clock?”
“F-four o’c-clock!” echoed Gerund In
a gently surprised and hurt tone.
“Why, It’s j-j-jus’ 1 o’clock.”
“Sir,” came the frigid voice from
above, "the clock has just struck 4!”
When Gerund replied It was In a
subdued, almost hopeless, tone, but
with absolute conviction. “D-do you
know, my d-d-dear, that Infernal clock
Is st-t-tutterlng again?”—Chicago Rec

Canalboats In France.
Comparatively little of the traffic In
the longer French canals Is moved oth
erwise. than by horses. There are a few
steam freighters, which carry half a
million tons a year, most of it between !
Paris and Rouen, and one some canals ,
are regularly organized towing sys- I
terns. But the groat part of the haul- ’
Ing is done by horses and with so i
much economy on the part of the barge (
owners that the government has had :
to provide by regulation that every
barge must have “power” enough notl
unnecessarily to block traffic. Every ;
barge also must have a crew of two,
“one of whom must be a man.” So
runs the regulation. So nearly every ;
French barge Is the home of a more
or less happy couple, whose charcoal
fire pot scents up tho air along the wa
terways with the preparation of tho
endless meal*.- Boston Transcript.
