The wolf in the fable put on sheep's clothing because if he traveled on his own reputation he couldn't accomplish his purpose. Counterfeiters of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve couldn't sell their worthless salves on their merits, so they put them in boxes and wrappers like DeWitt’si. Look out for them.

That's why all5 counterfeits of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve are dangerous. They look like DeWitt’s, but instead of the all-heal-ing witch hazel they all contain ingredients liable to irritate the skin and cause blood poisoning. For piles, injuries and skin diseases use the priginal and genuine DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Stearnes’ drug company. *

Laid to Rest. The funeral services of Mr. Charles A. Burger, who died last Thursday, mention of which was made last week, were held Sunday evening at four o’clock at the family residence on Ninth street and were largely attended by the business men and friends of the family. Mr. Burger was known all over this part of the county for his many kindly deeds, and the people in large numbers attended the services. The services at the house were conducted by Rev. G. G. Heuring, and were very impressive and fitting to the noble character of the deceased. At the cemetery the ceremonies were conducted by the Masonic order of which Mr. Burger had long been a member. As a citizen and business man he stood in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was successful iin his business enterprises, and was always interested in everything that tended to build up the town and county. His counsel was ofteft sought for by the young man who was about to enter into business life, and many men owe their financial successes to the advice given by him. He was a man in whom the people had implicit confidence, and the attendance at his funeral was an evidence of this fact. The following obituary was read by Rev. Heuring at the services: “Charles Adam Burger was born at Rohrbach. Bavaria Province, German, December 2, 1842. His education was that of- the German school tq-, gcther with what he added by his o wn efforts. He learned the tailor's tr;lde at his father's shop and when 18 years old started for himself. He came to Aifterica in 18<K) and worked for a time at several places in the east, coming to Petersburg in 18<i5. His

uuohiubo UICIMUP nuu 1U« Burger was formed in 1872 and has continued,-in success to the present. March5- 23. 18b8, he was married to Elizabeth Harsch, who survives him with all the children' born to them except one. Mr. Burger lived chiefest of all for his own family and made his home his palace. A kind and loving husband, a good and true father, a trusted friend, a man among men has now ended here and enjoys what he so often sought while he suffered so—rest. “When the sun levels with the tree tops at close of day, then let my boy3 lay me to rest, quietly under the sod and then come home, knowing that I am at perfect rest and you to be the same in think* ing of me,*’ were so often his words to the family. At rest he is, and we rejoice that his suffering is over, though with sad’rhearts and a true sense of his loss we see him leave the old home forever. Hall ok Pike Lodge. No. 121 F. & A. M.< Petkrsbvrg, Ind.. Aug. IS. 1000. » Whereas the Grand Master of the world has called from our midst our esteemed brother.) U; A. Burger, who departed this life Thursday, Aug. 16. moo. Resolved. That in his death Pike Lodge No. 121 F. &. A. M. has lost one of its best members. and the community one of its model citizens. Resolved. That while we recognize the fact that all must die. we regard his death as a sore affliction to his family, a great loss to our lodge and community; and that the same tie which bound us to him continues to bind us to his bereaved family. ResolvAl. That his life was a constant exemplification of the principles of Masonry and of an upright citizen and to him we mav say in the language of the poet. "Thou art gone to the grave but ‘twere worse to deplore thee When God was thv ransom, thv guardian and guide. He gave thee and took thee, and soon will restore thee. Where death has no sting, since the Savior died." Resolved. That these resolutions be published in each of the town papers.- spread on the records of the lodge and a copy of the same be furnished the family of the deceased. James Shawha.n j Geo. E. King -Com.
