Carroll. the deceased wife of Mr.. J. M.
Carroll, tCity Treasurer,s who was in
her life time one of the most active and
efficient helpers in the Sunday School
cause. After her death Miss Nettie Mar
tin, daughter of Rev. John S. Martin. took
charge of her class, until death came to
her relief and called her to join her de-
parted friend, Mrs. Carroll, in the higher
fruitions of the christians work. On the
death of Miss Martin, Mr. Carroll under
took the education of the little Chinese
girf.who had been named after his dead
wife. with the under standing that the
funds raised by the Church Workers"
should go to the ed ucation of another
Chinese girl to be named after Miss Mar
tin. A few days ago Mr.. Carroll received
from Shanghai. China, a n eatly knit white
toilet napkin. worked by the little girl
bearing his deceased wife'S name, and also
photograph of the child, accompanied by
note from Mrs. Lambeth, wife of Rev. j.

work in China, saying that little Mollie
was quite bright girl, as the expression
of the picture indicates. and cherishes
grateful remembrance of her kind friends

highly the mementOes, and will hold them
AS sacred souvenirs of departed pleasures.

not be determined. By those who have
known him longest and most intimately.
his age WAS thought to be at least 40
years. He always maintained that he was
bornin March so that it is thought that
next March would almost certainly have
completed his ] 18th years :. hen Major
John Crawford died. S8. years ago, Sidney
was thought to be ABOUT Is years old. He
always maintained that he was a grown
man when the present brick residence was
built on the estate Of the late Major John
Crawford, which was undoubtedly in the
year 1795-for he carried brick and mortar
for its construction. Mrs. Nancy McCue,
the widow of the late Col. Franklin Nc
Cue, now in her Saith year, and with whom
he lived for about 80 years, has no other
recollection Of him than that Of an old
haired man. And Miss Polly john
son. who was 80 years old at her death two
years ago. always said her earliest recol.
lection of him was when his hair was be-
ginning to turn gray. From such evidence
as this his most intimate acquaintance
feel safe in putting his age at ITO years, at
least.
When asked some years ago why it was
the Lord spared his life so long, he replied
that he did not know unless it was that he
might make his peace with God. This
Sidney did not do until he was an old man.
We feel assured that his last days We're
spent with bright hope OF acceptance
through Jesus Christ. The writer fire.

In December past, 1883, I was attacked

was extremely sick, After very many days of
lingering, painful sickness, despairing of
my recovery, got friend, ut dead of
night, to procure me bottle of Hepatazone
and common led its administration at once,
after midnight.
II acted on me like a charm, and after
less thnn half-a-dozen doses { rs per direc-
ton), was relieved of oil difficulty and bad
symptoms. and convalescent at once. 1
therefore cheerfully recommend said medi-
cine for diseases of the stomach, liver and

complaints, but it cured me.
