Entered into rest, from her home
i'll this place, on the afternoon of
October 20, 1896, Mrs. Mary E.
Williams. The subject of this no.
tice lived most of her life in this
town, and for many years has been
a widow. Suddenly and without
warning she was summoned from
life here to life eternal. and thus
a broken another link which con-
meets us with the past. She lived
a simple and quiet life, respected by
all who knew her, aud though not
exempt by any means from the trials
and ~perplexities which befall us in
this life. She bore them with chris
tian fortitude, and manifested a
strong and abiding faith, always, in
Him in whom she trusted, and upon
whom she rested in all the v%icissi-
tudes of life, she had been for
many years a consistent member of
Zion Episcopal church, and in her
daily life exempliied the faith she
professed. Though death came Sc
suddenly, we are assured she had moi
postponed her preparations for the
last dread hour, and having finished
her course in faith she now rests
from her labors.

Can you imagine yourself Selling
old Father Time by the few scanty
locks that still cling to his shiny
pate ? That is the literal meaning
of "taking time by the forelock,"
but we have reference to some other
time. Did you know Christmas is
only ten weeks off, and have you
done anything toward it !? Buy the
dolls and dress them, select presents
while stock is new and full. Your
choice is larger and your cash more
equally distributed. Beard, the

When wear begins to exceed repair in your
body you are going to fan sick. The signs OF
it are: loss of flesh, paleness, weakness; nerv-
BUSINESS, etc. The repair needed is food. You
think you eat enough, and yet you feel that
you wear out more tissue, energy, nerye-force,
than your food makes for you. The difficulty il
go serious that it is worth sitting down scri-
ously to think about. If you can't digest
what yon eat take a few doses of Shaker Di-
gestiVe Cordial. The effect of it will be to
Increase your flesh and make you feel stronger;

troll of your repair apparatus. It's easy
enough to test this for yourself. Take a few
bottles of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
