•X~XH-X~X~X~>-XK~X-X~.~X~X~X' ELIZABETH A HUNTER Elizabeth A. Hunter, wife of Masten C. Hunter, deceased, departed this life at Cloverdale, Ind., at the home of her son, Charley, March 15, 1908, aged 7 4 years. She leaves to mourn her demise four sons, John W. of Fillmore, Charley A. of Cloverdale, George O. of Bloomington and Frank H. of Cloverd tie, also two daughters. Mary A. Greenlee of Reelsville and Martha E. Morgan of Cloverdale. Several grandchildren I and great grandchildren with a host of other relatives and friends are left, but in a few short year we will | meet again never to say farewell.’ Since her husband's death three years ago she has lived with her children, always bright and cheerful and ready to help anyone whom she could. She saw many hardships | of life, but met them bravely and bore them patiently. She was a tender loving mother and wife and a good neighbor and was always a faithful attendant at church whenever her health permitted. Her family counsels are no longer heard, but in memories will live forever. A few weeks back we looked upon grandmother as one among us; today we view her face in the coldness of death. What a world of sorrow in the simple record “In the midst of life we are in death.” these are the solemn words of warning which often fall on listless ears until some illustration of truthfulness starts us into a full realization of their importance. It is hard to took upon her face cold in death, but GoJ doeth all things well. She is not dead only gone to a happy home where we may meet her again where there is no sorrow nor trouble but eternal rest. Her sickness was of eight weeks' duration of lung trouble, but she bore it without a murmur or complaint. How sad it is to see ones dear one taken away, sad indeed to look upon that vacant chair, but we should all live in such a manner that we shall meet her. We must not feel that she is dead for we are taught that a human soul never dies. She is only waiting for us on that shining shore in the city of God, where we shall never say good-bye. Though her work on earth is ended her bumble patient life will ever linger as a precious memory to inspire us to better living. A, loving one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home Which never can lie filled.

God in His mercy hath recalled The bloom the life has given And though the body molders hern The soul is safe in heaven. Lonely is the home And vacant is her chair She has gone to that home Beautiful and fair. ON A PEARL WILSON Ona Pearl Wilson, daughter of Mrs. Alice Johnson of Reelsville, Ind. and who formerly lived in Reelsville. died at her home in Rocky Ford. Colo., March 1 4, 1 908. after a lingering illness of tuberculosis, aged 2X years. She was married in Illinois about a year ago, her husband taking her to Colorado, thinking to restore her to health. She waa a quiet, gentle girl, whom everybody loved, and her demise is deplored by all who knew her. Funeral services'Svere held In the M. E. Church and interment In Valley View Cemetery. Rocky Ford, Colo. Death would be sad indeed if we did not believe: We shall part but not forever. There will be a glorious dawn. We shall meet to part, no, never, In the Resurrection Morn.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our sincere i thanks to the-neighbors, relatives and friends for the kindness and sympathy shown us during the sickness and death of our dear son and brother, Alva. Robert Phillips and Family.

If there is any one thing that a woman dreads more than anotherib is a surgical ojieration. We can state without fear of a contradiction that there are hundred--. yes. thousands, of ope rat ions performed upon women in our hospitals which are entirely unnecesstiry and many have been avoided by LYDIA E.PINKHAIVI’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mis. Barbara Base, of Kingman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. I'inkhain: “ For eight years I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well jvoman.” Mrs. Arthur K. House, of Church Road, Moorcstown. N. J., writes : “I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles, and last March my physioian decided that an operation was necessary. My husband objected, and urged me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and to-day I am well and strong.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty rears Lydia K. 1’inkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousandsof women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, and backache. Mrs. IMtikham invites all sick women t<> write her tor advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.

M\KY ELLEN HEDDEN Mary Ellen Hedden only daughter of William and Mary Smyth Hedden was horn in Putnam County, Ind.,. on May 23. 1X49. departed this life March 25, , 190S, leaving two brothers, their families and several cousins who will sadly miss her. Many happy times have they spent together, which all too soon have ended forever, it Is hard to realize her having left us, but comforting to now she wa - pr< pared foi t real change. While we are sad, we are also glad, she is free ,rom her sufferings. Her earthly pilgrimage is o'er. She rests from her labors. She went from Fillmore a number of years ago in company with her mother to Missouri and was a mother to her brother, James’ motherless children whose footsteps she has piloted from infancy to manhood and womanhood. Returning here a few years since to spend her remaining days. She united with the Baptist Church while out there and was a most devoted member and a great Bible student. All that loving, devoted hands could do, was done to smooth the pathway through tho valley of the shadow of death, and the Saviour's tender hands guided her over the great river ..j “And now while o’er our shortening way The shadows come and go We love to think that thou art free From every earthly woe Our hearts will learn to feel Our Father's will was best That has called thee to that land Of happiness and rest. It may be thou are w’atching now While we who longer wait Shall tread some day the path that leads Up to tho golden gate And as our raptured spirits stand 'Neath the celestial Jome One of the joys of Heaven will be Thy loving welcome home.

Don’t neglect your cough. Statistics show that in New York City alone over 200 people die every week from

consumption.

And most of these consumptives might be living now if they had not neglected the

warning cough.

You know how quickly Scott's Emuls/on enables you to throw off a

cough or cold.
