Good Health

And good appetite go hand in hand
With the loss of appetite, the sys-
tom cannot long sustain itself.
Thus the Notifications of good
health are broken down and the
system is liable to attacks of di-
sease. 1t is in such cases that the
medicinal powers of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla are clearly shown. Thous-
ands who have taken Hoods Sarsa-
parilla testify to its great merits
as a purifier of the blood, It's pow
ers to restore and sharpen the APP
petite and promote healthy ac-
ton of the digestive organs. Thus
it is, not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does that tells
the story and constitutes the stron-
gest recommendation that can urg-
ed for any medicine. Why not
take Hoods Sarsaparilla now?

The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society of the M. E. church, South, of
Kentucky, are holding their Annual
Meeting with the M. E. church, of
this city, HAVING begun their first sess-
ion last.Friday evening. One hundred
and five delegates were present. A
fairer or more intelligent array of
women it has never been our good
fortune to meet with. They had left
their homes and congregated in their
Seventeenth Annual Meeting with
only one end in view: the furthur-
ence of the Masters cause, and it was
delightful and inspiring to hear these
consecrated christian women modest
ly and fearlessly testifying for God.
The first evening was praise and
testimonial meeting and was led by
the President Miss Belle II. Ben
nett, of Richmond, and of the MEM
bers present more than seventy-five
took part in the service. The Lord
had been good to each of them and
they were glad to speak word in
His name.

words of cheer and thaukfulness for
the work which had been accomplish

spoke of the work in China. 1t was
great work and there in testimono-

something to say. Saturday after

given to parliamentary drill, (which was
exceedingly interesting.

Mrs. Ada Bruton Golf, aged %
years, died at the home oil her father,
@hoch Bruton, in this city on Thurs
day morning at 3 o'clock. She was
the wife of Mr.. e. A. Golf, of Clark
county and had only day or two be-
fore come up to her fathers home in
apparently the best of tealth. For
some time past she had from time to
time exhibited slight symptoms OF
heart trouble, these though, were not
of such nature as to excite any
alarm On Thursday morning about
the hour indicated she called her
mother, complained of return of her
old trouble and before a physician
could be procured she had As quietly
as babe falls to sleep on its mothers
breast sunk to rest in the arms of him
who is able to keep her safe against
all further fear or trouble. On the
morning of June 9th 1894 she wore
the orange blossoms of a happy bride
an friends were watering them with
tears shed for very happiness. On
the morning of the 9th of June 1895
-Sis5se. same friends were moistening
the white roses amid which she lay SO
cold and still with tears of bitterest
agony Though the light of her life
went out long before it was high noon
with her,she had not lived for naught.
More than ten years labor as an active,
earnest and conscientiously faithful
teacher go to her credit as grander
work done than we may, with our
short vision, measure. She was a
