DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN.
Mrs. Mary Baker Passes to Her Eternal ne
ward-Other Deaths.

Mrs Mary A. Baker, WIDOW OF the
late Elias Baker, died at her home IN
Shepherdstown about two o'clock last
Friday morning of heart trouble. She
had been in declining health for some
time previous, and her illness became
serious about week prior to her death.
Mrs. Baker would have been eighty
years old had she lived two days
longer. She was the daughter OF Mar
tin and Susan Billmyer, and was born
on the farm at Billmyers Mil now
owned by Mr.. W. N. Lemen. The
family has for many years been prom
inent one in this section, noted for Its
integrity and high character. The
deceased was one of thirteen children
of whom there is now but one living,
the venerable David Billmyer,who sur
wives at his home in this place in the
eighty-ffth year of his age. Mrs Ba-
ker was married to Elias Baker, OF
Washington county, Nd, in 1910.
For several years they lived in Mary
land, afterward moving to Appomatto1
county, Va, and thence to Berkeley
county. In 1856 they moved to Shep-
herdstown, which was their home while
they lived. Mr. Baker died in 1867.
Five sons and one daughter are still
living: Messrs. NJ. B., Alban Il. and
Henry S. Baker, Of Shepherdstown
DR.. Newton D. Baker, of Martinsburgi
and Mr.. William F. Baker and Mrs
George Glass, of Roanoke, Va.
Mrs. Baker was a kint-hearted
pious Christian woman. For many
years she was a devoted member Of
the Lutheran church, and as long as
she was able bore her share Of the
work and attended faithfully to heI
church duties. For about twenty-five
Years she was entirely blind, but her
affection seemed but to exalt her char
acter and ennoble her disposition. She
was cheerful in her home and patient
and accomplishing at all times Her
loving and afectionate character made
her unselfsh to marked degree, and
her kindness and thoughtful considera.
ton for others was one OF her most
prominent traits. No one could come
in contact with her and not be affected
by her sweet patience and the Chris
tan charity that she exercised to all
persons. Her death will leave va
cancy in the family circle that will
never be filed, but her exemplary life
must always be a precious heritage &c
her children and her children's chill
dren.
The funeral was held at her home
on Saturday afternoon. The service
was conducted by her pastor, Rev. G.
H. Hockey, and the body was laid tc
rest in Elmwood Cemetery.

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply TO a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due 20 the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
ali important, in order 70 get its bene-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase. that You have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold = all rep
utable druggists. -,
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended TO the most slSilltul
physicians, but II in need Of laxative
then one should have the best, and with
the weu-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
FIGS stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

done wisely. il seems to me, had they
adopted similar tactics of letting their rep
