False Economy

Is practiced BY people who buy inferior
articles of food because cheaper than stand
ard goods. Infants are entitled to the best
food obtainable. 1t is a fact that the Gail
Borden Eagle" Brand Condensed Milk is
the best infant food Your grocer and
druggist keep it
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-20

The great popularity with the trade which
this firm enjoys is due to the superior quail
ity of the 'Rosalia" and ''Our Best" brands
The demand upon the grocers for these
fiours is simply immense, as their equal does
not exist. TIA

MI. W. N. Burk who resides with his family
at Elberon, died Saturday about midnight. of
typoid fever, after an illness of two weeks
Mr. Burk had a severe attack of Ia grippe and
a complication of diseases last winter and was
in q serious condition for several months
He was large and robust and his strong con-
s%titutiOn overcome the disease, but he never
thoroughly recovered and fell an easy victim
to the fever.
Mr.. Burk moved here from R~avcnswood and

district. He was 80 years of age and leaves q
wife and two children who have the sympathy
of the community in their bereavement.
The funeral took place this morning at IL

mains were taken to the old family cemetery
vt Valley Mills for interment. Among those
who attended the funeral were about 20 mem-
bers of the Ravenswood Lodge Knights of
Pythias of which the deceased was q member.
[PdrkerSburg Sentinel.
Mr.. Burk made many friends while located
in Ravenswood in the mercantile business.
and this will be sad news to every one of them.
His last illness lasted but two week and the
last week of it he was unconscious about all
the time, and kept calling upon Ravenswood
friends almost necessarily. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Rnmor of Par
kersburg. Bro. Burk was q member In good
standing in both the Odd Fellows and knight
of Pythias lodges at this place and was buried
by the latter. Mrs. Burk has the sympathy of
the people here in her sad bereavement.

1t is stated that Judge E. Boyd
Faulkner will accept the nomination
for Judge of this circuit, if rendered
him, and after the nomination will be
a candidate in good faith, with the
full intention of accepting the office
and discharging its duties. We may
say, therefore, without abating a kind
ly feeling for other candidates, that
the tihrteeth circuit will continue TO
have a capital Judge.

A feature of the recent election at
Eufaula, Ala, was the unanimity
with which the colored men worked
for and voted the Democratic ticket.
Captain Kolb resides in EufauIa, and
when it became known that he had
been overwhelmingly repudiated by
his fellow-citizens over three hundred
colored men assembled in front of the
courthouse and sang 1.-The Old Ship
OF Zion' and "Praise God from
Whom All Blessings Flow" Kolb's
predictions Of "shotguns, case-knives
and rivers of blood'' did not ma
terialize anywhere in Alabama. In
fact it was one Of the most peaceful
elections ever held in the State, the
colored men voluntarily and in large
numbers helping to swell the Demo
cratic majority.
