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 Co. Summerville. 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.

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. Mrs. Geo. Morton, Mrs. Paul Morton, S. J. Hamilton, Committee. 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. —Elizabeth Price in The Observer. Santas-Dumont’s newest flying ma chine is so light and compact that he carries it about with him in his auto mobile. The Summerville News, Thursday, January 28, 1909. 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 -4 a ■ os KZSK “THEBB MUST BE TIMES WHEN YOU'D DIKII 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 ord-Herald.
