Religious Census.
Four ladies of the Baptist Sun
day-School was sent out a week ago
to take a Sunday School census of
the city. The result of their
investigations so far shows:
Members of church 120
Non-Members of church 151
Attend Sunday-School 158
I>o not attend Sunday 5ch001....154
Having Denomination a) pref
erence 214
Having no Denominational
preference 24.
These figures do not represent
all the white population of the city,
the Tribune is quite sure, a-s it
took a private census of the cjty
last, year and found the population
to be 055 whites and 410 colored,
-ft is true that tin-war times have
caused a scattering out of the peo
-pie of both races, lo answer the
government’s call for soldiers and
labor. Still the white population
should not have been 1 depleted to
the extent intimated by the fore
going census report.

PEARSON TRIBUNE, W . 24, 1018
MORTUARY.
JAMES A. MONCRIEF.
It is with feelings of sadness
that the Tribune chronicles the
death, on Saturday morning last,
of Mr. James A. Moncrief, an esti
mable and highly respected citi
zen of this city, aged 59 years.
Mr. Moncrief was born and rear
ed in this section of country and
carried in his memory rich stores
of its history, and was prepared to
give authentic statements of aL
most every event of interest that
has transpired in this section for
the past forty or more years. The
Tribune will miss his store of in
format ion.
On Monday morning the 15th
instant, he plowed until about ten
o'clock and then went to the house
with what seemed to be an ague.
He took to his bed and gradually
grew- worse until the end came on
Saturday at 6:30 a. m.
He leaves his wife, two daugh
ters —Meadaincs H. L. Lankford
and (J. L. Floyd —and one son —
Wm. If. Moncrief —to mourn his
death. He had but one brother
living, John Moncrief, who lives
near Axson.
The interment was at Antioch
cemetery, six miles northwest of
Pearson, Rev. D. J. Pearson offici
ating. The funeral was under the
auspices of Satilla Lodge F. A A.
M., of which he had been an effici
ent and faithful member. The
lodges at.Homerville, Willacoochoe
and Douglas were invited to take
part in the funeral obsequies.
The bereaved wife and children
have the Tribune's most sincere
sympathy in their sorrows.

One by one the landmarks of
Coffee comity are passing away.
Dr. James Martin McDonald, of
Axson, fell on sleep Wednesday
morning, 8 o’clock, and Hie inter
ment took place Thursday morning
at JO o’clock, in the family burial
ground at A xson.
Dr. McDonald had been a resi
dent of Coffee county ever since
his young manhood, first engaging
in tin- lumberbnsinessand farming.
A Hit a number of years he gave
up the sawmill business and took
a course in a medical school, and
turned his attention to the prac
tice of medicine, as opportunity
offered, and farming.
When lie first opened up the
saw-mjJJ business }ie am| the rail
road named tijs stgtipu and ship
ping point "Red Bluff.” It was
shortly afterward changed to “Me
Donald,” and since President Wil
son came U) the presidential office,
the railroads ami postal authorities
were induced to change it again to
“Axson,”
Dr. McDojiald was a quiet and a
very inqbtrusiye man, highly re
garded by all wifi) kqew him. He
was a devout member of the Meth
odist church, and his life was that
of a consistent Christian.
He is survived by his good wife,
two sons and three daughters of
bis immediate family, also several
brothers —among them Judge John
<'. McDonald, of Way cross.
Coffee county has lost a good
man.

of this place, says: “After the birth
of my last child.,, l got very much
run-down and weakened, so much
that I could hardly do anything at
all. I was bo awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be In the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
about my taking Cardui. lie
said, 'lt’s a good medicine, and good
for that trouble’, so he got me 5 bot
tles... After about the second bottle I
felt greatly Improved.. .Before taking
It my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking It,
however, this poor circulation disap
peared. My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road to
health. After the use of about 5 bot
tles, I could do all my house-work
and attend to my six children be
sides.”
You can feel safe In giving Cardui

drugs, but is composed of mild, vege
