OBITUARY.

Miss Cora Harris was born in Trigg
county, Ky, Jan. l3, 1868, and died OF
consumption March 81, 1856. When
she was five years old her parents re-
moved to Hopkinsville, where she
spent the remainder of her short life.
While yet child she was happily
converted and joined the Methodist
church, and in its communion she
lived acceptably to the day of her
death. Naturally light-hesrted, bright
and hopeful, she was also strong and
energetic in purpose. Nerved by
these qualities of mind and heart,
bravely did she battle with the insid-
ious disease, which for years, was
preyIng so relentlessly and fatally
upon her young life.
While on visit to Mr.. Ike Gar
rott in this county, she was suddenly
Frustrated, and rapidly grew worse,
and it soon became evident TO all
that the protracted struggle for life
would soon be over. Nothing was
left untried that loving hands could
do to soothe the sufferer in her last
days of pain. More tender ministra.
tions could not have been rendered
had she been member OF the family
in whose home she lay so helpless,
To friends who inquired about her
future prospects, she said, 81 have
not lived as l should have done, but
it is all right now, l am ready to co."
In the hope of Eternal Life she sweet
ly fell asleep.
1t is hard to give up life in its beau
tiful spring time. 1t is sad to see il
gradually fading away, and realize
how helpless is the arm of man to
stay the onward marchings of the
fell destroyer. What privilege
then to 60 with our aching heart to
the Divine Comforter and roll upon
Him our griefs.
Sorrow touched by Him, grows bright,
With more than rapture's ray;
As darkness shows US worlds of light
Wenever saw by day."

En-. South KENTUCKIAN: -
To-day we are called upon to
chronicle the death of one of our
brightest young ladies, Miss Dora
Baily, who died at the residence of
her father, VIM. Baily. She had
long been a sufferer with consump-
ton. SHE was loved by all who
knew her. Thus we see consump-
ton fastens upon its victim at the
very outset Of rcsponsi le and active
life. just when the future is bright
est with promises; just when hope
is losing itself in fruition; just when
to0e is whispering its melody in the
listening car, and weaving its Witch
cry around the willing heart just
when glory is pointing aloft to the
star that glitters upon the temple,
bidding the young and painting aspi-
rants to seek after and TO view it !;
just there does the dark shadow of
consumption gather over us. How
constantly is it happening that
woman in the first flush and bloom
of youthful beauty, when life is
spread out like an unclouded para
disc before her, Is stricken down by
this most relentless of human ills.
1t usually destroys life at that period
of our pilgrimage when of all others
life is the dearest and the sweetest.
In infancy and in childhood the
value of human life is not realized
and felt. In later years and old age
its richest fruits have already been
gathered, its brirlmirS goblets have
been quafled, its various disciplines
have been encountered, its trophies
have been won.
If our young people were taught
to realize how much they are respon-
sible for their bodily ills ami the
laws ofhygiene, the death rate caused
by consumption would be greatly
lessened in few years.
Tickets are out announcing a social
hop at Croft's Hall, Friday eve, the
9th.
Mrs. Joe Clark went to White
Plains last week to visit friends.

amount to 27l0 Hhds. and the sales
since January lst reached 3S,0l3

Since the trouble at Fl. Worth the
strike has grown worse and nearly
all the Knights who had resumed
work have quit again. There has
been no further fighting but the
gravity of the situation seems to be
increasing every day. A riot in East

no blood was shed. The end of the
strike is not yet in sight, though It is
difficult to see what the knights Of
Labor expect to accomplish by pro-
tracing it. The constitution of their

have been troubled with eczema
of my face for the past three years
and half. My entire face was COW
cred with it, and it rendered me so
conspicuous that it was unpleasant to
appear in public. / consulted the
ablest physicians in the city, among
others a celebrated specialist in d.
seases of the skin, who treated me
during the first winter without the
slightest perceptible benefit. then
tried the sulphur treatment and va
rious advertised medicines with little
or no effect. l visited several springs,
including the Hot Springs of Arkan-
sas, during the succeeding two years.
At the latter point placed myself
under treatment of one of the leading
physicians. Although my general
health was greatly improved, the
springs failed to accomplish the OBJ
ject Of my visit. The eczema still
chung to me, and was great source
of Inconvenience and discomfort. AT
ter returning east fully convinced
that would find no remedy, an ac-
quaintance, who said that she herself
had been raised from bed and cured
of scrofula by S. S. S., so strongly ad-
vised me to try it that l began, with
little faith on my own part and little
encouragement from others. / have
taken ii for two or three months, and
the result is that the disease is prac-
tically cured, there being but slight
