neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Obituary.

The hearts of happy home circle were
shrouded in grief when, on April 10th.
1894, Mr.. John H. Thomas took his de-
parture for the unseen things of eternity.
He died in the meridian of his manhood.
aged a little over AZ years, having been
born June 28th, 1852. He was true
man in the family relations, ministering
to all who composed his household with
an affection that was most pleasant to
witness. He was the kindest of hus.
bands, and the most affectionate of
fathers, and as a friend there were none
better As citizen he was true to his
convictions of duty and noislessly per-
formed his part. At the time of his
death he held a membership in the Bap-
fist church at Montgomery, Ala. His
last hours we've peaceful ones, and he
was resigned to die, expressing himself
as being ready to exchange wOrlds--so
leave this world for better one. In his
last sickness he was a great sufferer.
yet he bore his sufferings with fortitude.
His grief stricken wife and four children
feel today more than than tongue can
express the loss of this faithful husband
and affectonate father All hearts are
drawn out in tenderest sympathy to this
s stricken household.
A gentle voice we loved is stilled,
A form has passed away;
No more We'll hear that gentle voice,
For he has gone for aye
No costly tomb need plead for thee,
Through many years to come,
But thy monument shall be
Deeds of kindness thou hast done.
He's reached that land of pure delight,
Beyond the stormy grave;
See how he burst the bars of death,
And triumphed DER the grave.
A FRIENr.

Our town is soon to be connected with

Mr.. j. J. Hill was elected chairman and
Mr.. j. 7. Raglan secretary, Nothing
could add more to the convenience of
our people than telephone line, as we
have no telegraph Office here, and no
way Of communicating with our sister
towns only through tie mails.
Our town marshal, D. j. Denton, is
again enjoying the happiness of married
life. He was married last Wednesday
evening to Miss Mollie Chapman, the
daughter of Mr.. j. G. Chapman, who
lives near this place. They have the
congratulations of their many. friends.
One of our boys came very near getting
his heart run over the other day as the
north bound train was moving off for
Smithville. We suppose his Intentions
were to leave it ION the train, hence a
serious accident was narrowly averted.
Many of our people attended the clos
ing exercises of the Pleasant Hill High
School Thursday and Friday nights.
All were delightfully."- entertained by the
excellent recitations and the music by
the Brentwood Brass Band.

BITTEN By A RATHER
The Snake Fancier Nabbed By a Venomous
REPTILE

The Snake Fancier Nabbed By Venomous
Reptile.
Mr.. Geo. Bishop, the man who spent a
week in Dawson exhibiting venomous
snakes, was bitten on the finger by a
vicious RATHER in Americas last Friday
while giving his snakeship a morning
bath.
Mr.. Bishop showed no signs of uneasi-
ness whatever, and after bathing the
wound in a simple remedy of his own
completed the task of washing half
hundred snakes.
He says he has been bitten eight times
by his snakes, but has never suffered any
i'll effects. Whiskey, he says, is not an
antidote for snake bite, but it will be a
difficult matter to dispel this fond delu-
sion in the mind of the public.
