When man owns b1ooded horse he is
always c-reful of its health. He looks after
its diet and is particular that the feeding
shall be regular ard right. While he is
doing this it is likely as not that he is him
self suffering from some disease or disorder
that if left to itself will go on and on till it
develops seriously.
When the trouble gets so bad that he can
not work, he will begin to give himself the
care he gave the horse at the start The
time to cure a disease is at the beginning
and better than all is to 80 watch your
health that disease will never come. Good,
pure, rich, red blood is the best insurance
against disease of any kind. Almost all
diseases come from impure or impoverished
blood. Keep the blood pure and strong
and disease can find no footho1d.
That is the principle on which DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery works.
1t cleanses, purifes and enriches the blood;
it puts and keeps the whole body in perfect
order. Makes appetite good digestion
strong, assimilation perfect. 1t brings rud-
dy, viri1e health.

Remarkable Effect Of Lightning.
The following account of the effects
of q stroke of lightning near Haws
Cross Roads, Tuesday evening, April
2, 1895, about A O'Clock, is furnished us
by a gentleman who lives in that neigh
borhood
The bolt struck about two hundred
and fifty yards from Tom Haws' house
a little further from his barn; it forced
the door of the barn open and broke
twelve or fifteen panes of glass out of
the windows of the house; cattle in the
b%arnyard fell TO the ground and some
boys in the barn were considerably
shocked. James Haws' house is about
one fourth of a mile from where it
struck, yet several panes OF glass were
shaken out and one sash broken. Two
oak trees stood where the lightning
struck, and both were utterly demol-
ished; one seemed to have been hit
near the middle and broken off, the top
dropping down by the roots, the part
left standing vas split open to the
ground. The one which was struck
stood about twenty feet distant from
the other, and between them stood
others which were not hurt. 1t is i'm
possible to see where the second vas
struck, as it was torn to splinters, even
the roots being scattered in all direc
tions fifty feet away from where the
tree had stood; some of the pieces of the
pull, some parts of the body OF the
tree being thrown three hundred yards.
The trees were tough white oaks, from
two to three feet in diameter, andif the
ground was cleared off one could not
tell where they stood. Some of the
pieces of the tree eight or ten feet long
would make hoops or splits for chair
bottoms. One piece that Mr.. Have has
in his house is about two and a half
feet long, two inches thick and four
inches wide, in shape like a broom; the
piece contained a knot and to one side
of the knot it is torn in innumerable
pieces, many as small as a knitting
needle, but the knot vas not affected.
Mr.. Haws says it reminds him of John
Worry 8 shirt, about which he tells the
following: Some seven or eight years
ago John and two others were putting
up hay in my meadow when a bolt of
lightning struck them. Worry was
holding a fork, the handle of which
was broken off about two feet above
the fork, and neither run up nor down,
but stripped him from head to foot.
He had on a strong pair of brogans
which were torn 10 pieces; his shirt
looked like all the filling had been
taken out and only the chain left, both
arms were badly burned and a streak
all the way down, and M or two hole:
burned in his hat, but did not render
him unconscious. The other men were
badly shocked and the mules knocked
down but not seriously hurt. Worry
was carried to the house and recovered
in a few weeks.

DON'T STOP TOBACCO.
How to Cure Yourself While Using 1t.

The tobacco habit grows on a man
until his nervous system is seriously

co, to an inveterate user becomes q
stimulant that his system continually
raves. Baco.Curo is a scientific cure
for the tobacco habit in all it's forms,
carefully compounded after a formula
of IN eminent Berlin Physician who
has used it in his private practice since
1872 without a failure, purely vegeta-
BILE and guaranteed perfectly harmless.

venience. 1t leaves the system as pure

OBITUARY.
HAWKINS.

ia hlNps
Myra and Lyla, two bright, sweet,
beautiful little daughters of Jacob
l. and Mrs. Fannie L. Hawkins, died
Thursday, April A, at Jonesboro, Tenn.
Their deaths occurred just seven hours
apart, the formers at 4 O'Clock P. NJ.
and the latter's at II o'clock P. NJ.
Blow IN blow and stroke on stroke.
Myra was born December 90, 1891
and was, therefore, aged 3 years, 8
months and 12 days.
Lyla was born April 80, 1887, and
was Z years II months and 4 days old.
1t is hard and sad to part with the
little precious ones; but death breathes
on all; the old must die and the young
may.
Friends prayed that these little girls
might get well, physicians skillfully
watched over them night and day, a
loving mother and a sympathetic
father ministered unto their comfort,
but despite all that could be done to
keep them, a kind Heavenly Father
called them home. They heard voice
we could not hear, saw a hand we
could not see. The cord was cut
a~sunder, and the soul, as a dove, flew
away to rest and rejoice, while the
visions and dreams of parents and
friends for the departed lie, like with
cred flowers, upon the grave.
Unfinished lives, oh no.
God cuts off no young life till its
earthly work is done; and then the
Heavenly Jerusalem needs their Hos
annas unto the Son of David, for 'out
of the mouth of babes and sucklings
thou hast perfected praise"
May the Christian love of parents
be enabled to look away from this sore
discipline and say: Even 30, Father,
it seemeth good to thee and it is also
good to me-" with the assurance that
they will reap the harvest of this SOW
ing of tears, in this life and that to
come, when God will unveil his plan,
make the hidden meaning plain and
wipe away all tears.
The funeral services were held at the
home, in the West End, Saturday morn
ing, Rev. B. B. Bigler officiating; and
the little bodies were tenderly laid
away in the Lyle burial ground. For
what is your life? 1t is eve a vapor
that %appeareth for a little time and
then vanisheth away" Jas, A: Ia.

me, and forbid them not; for of such

Wedding Bells,

A beautiful spring wedding was SOL
emnized last Thursday evening at 8
o'clock in the Second Presbyterian
Church. The contracting parties were
Herbert H.. Mcpherson u popular
young jeweler, and Miss Mary Powell
Smith, the accomplished daughter Of
Judge John P. Smith. The church had
been beautifully and ~tastefully deco
rated with evergreens and flowers. The
church was crowded with the friends
of both the bride and groom, eager to
see the young couple launch out in the
matrimonial sea. The organ was pre-
sided at by Prof. G. E. Dillworth, an
uncle of the groom. Rev. B. B. Bigler
performed the ceremony which was
beautiful and impressive. After the
ceremony the happy couple with a few
of their special friends went to the
home of the bride where a reception
was rendered.

NORRIS.

Rena Morris was born in Carter Coun-
ty, Tennessee, February Z, 1872. She
was a daughter of V. A. and Amanda
Morris. Professed religion at the ten
der age of twelve years, Joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in which
she lived a short but Cody life. Her
parents are members of the Missionary
Baptist Church. When the sweet spir
tied girl made a profession of our holy
religion, she told her father and mother
that the Methodist was her ideal church,
and they with one consent agreed for
the little christian jewel to unite with
the Methodist Episcopal Church. Rena
was an obedient child to her parents.
She loved the Sunday school and was
ever found at her post of duty on The
Lord s day. But the Lord gathered her
to herself. She was patient in all her
sufferings, never forgetting to call upon
the name of her blessed redeemer. She
was afflicted with that most distressing
disease, consumption. On the 10Th day
of January, 1895, the death angel made
the fatal stroke, and the victim fell
asleep in the arms of Jesus. Her sun
set while it was yet day, not behind a
bank of clouds; but a halo of bright
glory circled around her evening hori.
zon. And I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, write blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord, from hence
forth; yea, saith the spirit; that they
may rest from their labors; and their
works do follow them" Rev ID: IA
Death was no alarm to her, she was
very conscious of her departure. A
short time before she died, with her
own trembling lips she called her aged
father to the bedside and with O smile
such as the redeemed saints wear, she
calmly said, II am going to die" At
ter a few brief moments the father

grave, said daughter l will soon fol.

from the loss of sleep laid down for a
little rest; but oh, his rest was disturb
ed by the low sweet voice of his darling
child as she gently whispered father,
father; responding to her call, the dear
old father walked once again to the
bedside. This time the sufferer with a
low but sweet voice she feeblv said,
my time is up" putting her arms
around her fathers neck she kissed
him farewell but not forever. Marvel
not at this; for the hour is coming in
which all that are in their graves shall
hear his voice, and come FORTH" AZ
ter kissing mother, brother, sisters and
all the dear ones again, she said, my
time is up" Closed her bright eyes
