OBITUARY.

BAKER.-Sarah Baker, daughter Of
Peter aud Sarah Welty. vas born May
10, 1898, was married TO Washington L.
Baker, April 5th 1850, and died in her
native county of Perry. February y,
1876; aged 81 years 8 months % days
Soon after her marriage. she removed
with her husband 10 Marshall county,
Illinois, hut in 1862. on his enlisting in
the army, she returned to the home of
her fHther, till summoned to the he'd
side of her sick husband in the hospi-
tai Louisville, Ky. In a week she had
procured his discharge and heroically
and tenlerly she nur~ed him back to life
and health. In 1869 her eldest son, a
boy of eight years old, died and IN 1872
her youngest. less than two years old
was taken suddenly away. Since that
event her health has constantly failed
till consumption finished the work of
the DESTROYER, as above.
She united with the NJ +. Church
when Is years of age and remained
consistent member to her death. Dur
ing her last illness her Bible was her
great source of consolation; especially
the 34th Psalm; John l4th; Romans Sth,
and II Cor 5th Though for a time
she shrank from the agony of death and
clung to life, and her loved ones. with
all the affection of faithful wife and
devoted mother. vet as the time drew on
she was lifted above all fear and az she
said-"resting in the arms of Jesus,"
she calmly waited the masters time. A
few hours before the close she SAID to
her husband "Dbn't pray for me 10 stay
any longer; for ! want to 60 home" 1t
was not that she loved these less, bnt
Jesus more The once dreaded close
was without struggle or motion, and
the family was divided-one half in
glory and one half wait in the shadow
of bereavement. j. V.

of this city came out of Fairbankr' store.

brushed of the slush into which it had
fallen, and handing it to the female with

It Contains the great healing ele-

Catarrh, in its extent and destructive force
stands next to Consumption and Is closely allied To
it for in certain constitutions the transition from
one to the other is only a question of tlme. 1t is
therefore singular thing that those afflicted with
should not make it the object OF their lives To lid
themselves OF it. A single bottle of any remedy
cannot in the chronic stage, effect cure nor even
bring the system under its influence fully. IN
many such cases the bones and cartilage OF the
nose are eaten away the organs of hearing, of see
ing, and OF tasting affected TO be rendered
useless the uvula so elongated and inflamed as t.
produce a constant and distressing cough. The
return to health must necessarily be slow, under
the most favorable circumstances, when so seri-
ousy afflicted; but the evidence of ITS great val
ne daily comes to hand, we become more and more
salts SIZED that there does not exist case of Catarrh
that cannot be cured by judico1s and persistent
use of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh. The
relief in every case obtained from the first dose i
an indication OF what it will do when the So stem Is
brought constitutiona,ly under is influence.
