OBITUARY.

J. A. Cobble was born in East Tennessee, April 1858. He moved to this county in the fall of 1876, and died at his home, tbree miles south of this place, October II, 1901.
 He leaves wife and seven children to mourn their loss. Nr. Cobble was an industrious man, quiet and peaeable citizen, . good neighbor, a kind, proyident father and husband. He was a member of the Knights of Honor, and was faithful to the ele- vating principles of that order He died in peace with a good hope of eternal life in that spiritual home above where tho foot prints of death are never seen. We commend his disconsolate companion and fatherless children to Him who always hears the cry of the widow and orphans, and who doeth all things well, assuring them that the unseen, yet loving hand of most merciful Father is oYeruling all things for their good.

''It may fairly be said that most Of the new
medicines produced recently are products of
coal tar" said physician to a STAR writer.
Until lately remedies freshly added to the
pharmacopeia were obtained through novel dis
coveries in the plant kingdom. Even now from
time to time such lucky finds are made: but the
science of botany has pretty nearly completed
Its list of things vegetable that grow upon the
earth. and the properties OF their active prlnci-
pies have become more and more thoroughly
understood of late years. Thus 1t happens
that new medicines today are nearly all prod
ucts Of the laboratory.
In coal tar is found simple organic sub
stance which is readily worked with for the pro-
duction of varied chemical results. 1t is what
chemists call carbohydrate. of an pnelabo-
rate character, whichrenders itself readily use
full in laboratory processes. Therefore, work
ers in the line OF therepautic research employ
1t toan almost unlimited extent. OF the new
remedies which the apothecary keeps upon his
advertising slate majority are such
coai-tar products. Many OF them are of u
dangerous character and should not be taken
without u Physicians prescriptions: but that
does not prevent them from having q large
sale, and the firms which get them out under
patented names make fortunes by selling the III.

Hezekah BEETLE was bachelor of Maine
But one morning he departed by very early train
"for Tue! is so costly" said the frugal Hezekiah,
II am forced 10 find y dwelling where need not

He took a Decline southwark till 70 Mexico he
came,
He found there a volcano with most eccentric
name,
And he built him there cottage, did this Heze-
kiah Bette.
He built it the summit of Mount Popocatapetl.
Whenever he desired to cook a mutton chop
He'd hang it by lengthy string right over from
the top;
From the top Of the volcano he would hang it by q
string,
And there until twas nicely cooked he d let his din
ner swing.
To get his boiling water he would lower down q
kettle
Right down into the crater of Mount Popocatapetl:
From the ashes of the mountain he would light his
meerschaum pipe,
And he felt as truly happy as jolly little snipe.
But one evening. as it happened, there came BY q
grizzly bear,
And he was much astonished to see Hezekiah
there;
So he tapped him on the shoulder, this poor Heze.
