Foster was one of the brightest young lads of Petersburg, j j being intelligent and kind-hearted. He j | had been ailing for the past year, and his [ mother took him to Loogootee a few weeks ! ago. thinking a change would benefit him, | but he continued to grow worse until Sat- ; urday morning when death relieved him of i his sufferings. The remains were brought here Saturday afternoon and taken to the family residence. The fuueral services took place Sunday afternoon from the C. P. church, being conducted by Rev. J. W. Elder, and interment at Walnut Hills cemetery. The funeral services were very largely attended. A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bail case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mUdiy./indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent care. We have no hesitancy in recommending this excellent cough remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in any form.—The Banner of Liberty, Libertytown. Maryland.
