Let all the free silver democrat?

Mr. F. J. Kane, the Napoleon
<if the Rome dry goods trade, te 's
rri" tha' last week proved to be the
biggest and best business week ye|
enjoyed by the po. ular and pros
per<ui-y'"'D„ drygoods house of F.
J. Kane & Co. His store was lull
of customers this morning when I
was in there. 1 t.sked him if he
bad any dread of a “dryg >ods”
war. “No ” said he. “I don’t dread
one any more than I want it, but,”
he continued, “if we must havf
one you wil find our house out
ing its own patchin’, and the bore
of the gun we turn on our adversa
ry will be so immense that ho will
be able to read the advertisement
on the wadding.” Nuffsed.

I don’t know that I ever listen,
•d to a more beairiful tribute paid
the ni-morv of a man than the eu
logy pronounced over be loved re
mains of Prof R. L Gwaltney, at
the First Baptist church, by the
pastor, Dr. R B. Headden this
morning. Dr. Hear en is as good
as he is eloquent and as practical
in tne appli<-ation oi religion as he
is earnest in his lib work.
*
* *
H- had known dob Gwaltnex
for many, many ears. B .th of
them had been soldiers in the Con
federacy—they were equal y as fine
Soldiers of the Cross. They knew
each o<her,honored e.ch ihheourag
of the other mid each Lnowii g the
many manly charac eris ics of the
otlmr they were comrades indeed.
Had Dr. Headden and B ib Gwnl -
ney been brothers by blood the
former cou d scarcely have grieved
mure over he silent sle per whose
hands were so ded under that bank
of ruses.
*
* *
Little wonder then that wh"n
the minis er spake, the wet eyes
of a great congregation looked on
the roses, on the quivering form
of the devoted wife and manly
frame of the heart-broken son and
then again to the minister who
was also mourner over the bier.
* *
*
The entire ceremony was impre -
sive to me The fact that it occur
red on Monday morning did not
ke-p sorrowing friends from over
flowing the big church and audito
rium. The choir, every one a
mourner, was composed of Mrs,
McHenry, orgatiess and Messrs.
Charles AV<»odruff and Harry Pat
ton and Misses Duggan, Batt’ey
and Lillie Shropshire
* »
When they sang: “How Firm a
Foundation, ye Sail ts of the the
Lord,” many eyes grew misty .This
was the case again wh n they sang
“Jesus Lover of my Soul” ana
then again when they sang “I will
sing you a song of that Beautiful
Lana ”
***
Dr. Goetchiijs, or the First Pres
byterian church, read the 39th
Psalm and offered up a very ten
der and most touching prayer. .

Prof. Gwaltney was Prin ipal of
the lligh School at the Pub ic
Schoo s—every teacher, frem Su
perintendent J. C. Harris down,
the Board of Trustees acd many
pupils were present.
* ■*

He was Supt. of'the Fir t Bap

ers and many of the pup Is p< i ■
tribute to his m’mjry by thei,
presence and by ihe beautiful flor
al offeri g of “Gates Ajui” iff
white and p nk mses.
* *
*
He was a member of the Hook
<fc Ladder Co. —and that company
with large delegation from ot'er
fire companies in the city turned
on! in uniform mid followed his
remains to their last resting place.
* *
*
He was a consistent member of
the First Baptist-—a strong pillar
in that church and many were the
bereaved brothers and sisters who
gi hered 'o we.-p over bis reaiuit .
* *

He was a memher of the Board
<>f Educa ion of Floyd county
and iv-ry member of that Board

A good man bad fallen in is a r .
and the coi grega t ion mourned.
The encouraging smile and ever
gentle word and genial voice of

memory lingers and will ever be
kept green m the heart x of I < e

People find just the help they so much
need, in Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It fur
nishes the desired strength by puri
fying, vitalizing and enriching the
blood, and thus builds up the nerves, .
tones the stomach and regulates tiie ;
whole system. Read this:
“I want to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I
My health run down, and I had the grip.
After that, my heart and nervous system ,
were badly affected, so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
some help, but did not cure. I decided
to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could
do all my own housework. I have taken
Cured
Hood’s Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
and they hive done me much good. I
will not be without them. I have taken 13 '
bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and through
the blessing of God, it fias cured me.
I worked as hard as ever the past sum
mer, and I am thankful to say I am
well. Hood’s Pills when taken with
Hood’s Sarsaparilla help very much.”
