Truth is indeed sometimes strang-
er than fiction. Everybody in
Weston knows Allen Snow, but few
perhaps are acquainted with the

to the lady from whom he was di-
vorced more than a quarter of a
century past. He married second
time and reared family of children,
but his last wife died fifteen years
or more ago. And now his heart
returns to his first love- Weston

Last June Dick Crawford brought
his twelve month-old child suffer-
ing from infantile diarrhea, to me.
1t had been weaned at four months
old and had always been sickIy. /
gave it the usual treatment in such
cases but without benefit. The(
child kept growing thinner until It
weighed but little more than when
born, or perhaps ten pounds. i
then started the father to giving,
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy. Before one bot
tie of the % cent size had been used
a marked Improvement was seen
and its continued use cured the
child. Its weakness and punv con,
stitution disappeared and its father
and myself believe the chiId's life
was saved by this Remedy. J. q

DEATH OF CHARLES pINCKNEY,

Charles Pinckney, an early settler,
well known here, died on Thursday
evening last at Akron from a painful
attack of gravel. The deceased was
one OF the very earliest settlers OF this
county, having located the homestead
entry upon what is now known as the
James Manning farm. He also con-
Quoted a meat market in this city at
, one time. He was about As years OF
| age when he died.
! Speaking Of Mr.. Pinckney's death,
/ the Sioux City Journal Of Sunday
| states:
Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Pinckney
went to Akron yesterday to attend
the funeral of Charles L. Pinckney,
who died a little before midnight on
Tuesday of malarial fever. Mr.. Pinck-
ney has been at Akron most Of the
week in attendance upon his brother,
but he was too i'll to recognize him
when summoned to his bedside.
Charles Pinckney was born near Ann
Arbor, Mich, on February Is, 1915.
When only a boy 8 years old he came
with his fathers family to the old
Pinckney farm, and near it, either in
Elk Point or Akron, the thirty-seven
years OF his life since then have been
passed. He was not well on Decora-
ton day, but In spite OF the protest OF
friends, participated in the public OBJ
servance OF the day, but took to his
bed Immediately after, being a very
sick man from the first. He was a
member OF the l. q. O. +. and its
members cared for him faithfully and
tenderly, keeping watch by day and
night, earning the everlasting graft
tude OF the family. All that loving
care, tender nursing and medical skill
could do was done, but the fierce fever
burned out the life of the strong man
until the brave battle for life was over.
The funeral was held yesterday at |
O'Clock in Akron among the pastors Of
ficiating being Rev. Mr.. Mcleod, for
merly Of this city. Charlie had lived
his life among the people who came
to pay the last tribute OF respect to
him-a genial, warm hearted friend
and neighbor, whom all loved and for
