Ed'KF0RD'S FANTASTIC E'VFFS
The Worlds EsoSt Delightful Dc
Cigar.

Tho whole world has been travcrsed
in search of moro delightful Cigar and
the cry is echoed and re echoed from
planet to planet, from star to star, that
its equal is undiscovered. At two o'clock
i'll the morning the house is crowded with
eager men demanding this cigar, saying
that they cannot eat nor sleep without it.
Queen Victoria, who never before indulg.
ed in smoking, buys this Cigar by the
ship-lOad, and will not divide with tie
other crowned heads, saying that 81 g
wants all for her own use. The tobacc o
from which these Cigars are made s
grown in magnificent Greenhouses, built
for the purpose regardless of expense,
and cultivated by gardeners who receive
immense salaries and have no other en-
pIoyment, This Cigar is manufactur, d
on ivory tables iulaid with gold and
pearls, and precious gems, by beautiful
and highly accomplished Spanish girls,
attired i'll the most costly raiment, and
bedecked with diamonds and magnificent
jewels. When You smoke one of the c
Cigars you feel an Ilaljm soitncss creep
over you and almost imporcep,ibly you
sink into dream land, and for hours you
are encompusscd with visions of beauty
and splendor upon awaking, You feel
refreshed and ready for your days work.

OBITUARY..

Died-On the 18th Of Defender, 1899,
Mrs. MARTHA A MAYFIELD, wife Of Mr.
Isaac Mayiicld, Of Cotton Gin.
Within the brief period of less than
three years death has entered the May
field family five times, robbingit at each
Visit Of a beloved member. Mrs. Know
les, ana Little Mabel, Mr. Knowles, and
then Mrs. Iiansel, were taken TO these
must now be added Mrs. Mayiield. How
forcibly must the large circle of relatives
realize 1.-THE uncertainty Of life, the Ger
tainty Of death"
A near relative, while informing the
writer of the sad occurrence, Uses some
words which could find place in this
tribute Of respect. He says: death has
again saddcnly the hearts of our family,
and it seems the hand Of atliiction has
fallen more heavily this time than ever
before When the physicians informed
us she could not live, the family and
friends gathered around hcrbedside. She
assured us she did not rdeath, and was
willing and ready TO die that She felt
assured that she was going to Heaven,
and requested us to meet her there.
Passing over the loss and grief Of the
family, we would emphasize the spirit
with which Mrs Mayheld contemplated
DEATH and the triumphant manner in
which she passed to the spirit world.
These afford a true index TO her life and
character. Writers Of obituaries often feel
compelled to enlarge on some good quail
tiles, ana throw the mantle of silence
over many faults. But IN her life and
character plain, simple statement Of
facts would be the height of culogy that
could be pronounced. Naturally endow-
ed with fine sense and clear Judgment
her mental andmOral powers were evenly
and tremendously developed. The yir-
tues ana Eraces Of the Gospel found in
her heart congenial soil, and bore album
dainty the beautiful fruits of righteous
ness; patience, self-control and hrucvo-

character, Amidst the mult.tudmous
cares, duties aud responsibilities of (;

every one was impressed with the pru-
dence, skill and wisdom with which sh,
directed her affairs. Consideration and
kindness were ever visible in her words,
and acts. Her concentrations were
discreet, her cautions were affcctionatc,
