THE LAST SUMMONS.
A Beloved Shepherdstown Citizen Passes Away
Other Deaths.

/ n Beloved Shepherostown Cltixeh Passes S"ay
Other Deaths
DR.. j. Gregg Gibson has answered
the final summons, and all that is
mortal of this Christian gentleman
now lies beneath the clods in Elm
wood Cemetery. Last Saturday night
few minutes after 7 o'clock he was
in his drug store in this place talking
with his son, Mr.. Robert Gibson. AS
he stood at the prescription counter a
feeling of numbness came over him,
and it was noticed that he was i'll.
A chair was quickly brought and he
was placed upon it. He spoke but a
few words when the deadly paralysis
that was empowering him rendered
him unconscious. He was taken to
his home at once, but in two hours
and a-half he was dead, not having
recovered consciousness. The news
of his death was a great shock to the
community; but although it was so
sudden, it was not altogether unex-
pected, for, since slight stroke came
upon him a few years ago, his health
had been such that his friends feared
a recurrence of the attack.
Joshua Gregg Gibson was born in
Romney, this State, on January 3,
1928. His father moved near Win
chester afterward, and in 1916 they
settled in Charlestown DR.. Gibson
studied medicine, and graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania. He
practiced in Frederick, Martinsburg
and Charlestown. In 1881 he moved
to Shepherdstown, purchasing the
drug store of R. L. Magruder, where
he spent the closing years of his life.
DR.. Gibson was married in l847 to
Miss Susan Waters in Frederick, Md.
Six children were born to them, of
whom FIVE survive, as follows: Mrs.
Fannie Pendleton, Of Wytheville, Va;
Mrs. Mamie Kimmell, of Frederick
county, Md. w. w. Gibson, Laredo,
Texas; James Gibson, Rialtos, Texas;
and Miss Agnes Gibson, of Shepherds
town. His first wife died in 1864 at
Leetown, this county. In 1867 he
married Miss Alice B. Grove, daugh-
ter of the late Jacob H. Grove, of
Sharpsburg, Nd. She with her two
sons, Robert and Hopkins, the former
a druggist in this place and the latter
an employee of the Government Print
ing Office at Washington, survive him.
Col. John T. Gibson, of Charlestown,
was his brother.
DR.. Gibson was a refined, intelligent,
kind-hearted Christian gentleman, in
whom there was no guile No one
could say word against him, for he
was always courteous and regardful of
the feelings of others, loyable in his
disposition, agreeable in manner and
charitable and sympathetic. He was
singularly pure-hearted man, and
gentle and just. He had no enemies
all who knew him were his friends.
In his devoted family circle and in
public he was a model man. In a
word, his virtues may be summed up
thus: He feared God and kept His
commandments.
His funeral was held Tuesday after
noon IN the Episcopal Church, OF which
he was a vestryman. Rev DR.. Neil
son, the rector, conducted the service
which was attended by great number
of persons. His remains were inferred
in Elmwood Cemetery according to
the Masonic ritual, carried out by
Mt, Nebo Lodge of this place and Wis
iting brethren.

result, when she contracted a severe
cold which ended in death. She was
perfectly conscious of her approaching
end and resigned herself with child
like confidence to the will of her Faith

care seemed to be the welfare of her

And then remember, my son. you have
to work. Whether you handle pick or
u pen, q wheelbarrow or set of books,
digging bitches or editing paper, ring
ing an auction bell or writing funny
things, you must work. If you look
around, son, you will see the men who
are most able to live the rest of their
days without work are the men who work
the hardest. Don't be afraid Of killing
yourself with overWork, son. II is be-
yond your power to do that, on the sun
ny side of thirty They die sometimes,
but it's because they quit work at 9 p.
M. and don't get home until 2 A. M.
It's the interval that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for your
meals, it lends solidity to your SUM
bers. it gives you perfect and grateful
appreciation Of holiday. There are
young men who do not work, my son !;
but the world is not proud Of them. 1t
does not know their names, even; it
simply speaks Of them as old so.and-so's
boys Nobody likes them; the great
busy world doesn't know they are there.
So find out what you want TO be aud do,
my son. and take of your coat and make
dust in the world. The buster You
are the less deviltry you will be apt to
get into, the sweeter will be your sleep,
the brighter and happier your holidays,
aud the better satisfied will be the world
with you.

Now gay and glad, now wild and sad,
Now melting soft and low,
While fingers fair the harp strings swept

As the song my mother sung.
AT evenings hour in summer time,
While the cooling shadows fell,

To the song my mother sung
And sanity beamed the fair, mild stars

Crest round with spirits tread.

On the wings OF zephyrs flung,
While twilight seemed to listen, hushed,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured p
by local applications as they cannot
reach the deased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous,
lining of the Enstachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh;
which is nothing but an intiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollar
for any case of deafness (cause by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars; free.
