WATER VALLEY.

WATER VALLEY, Nov. lon last
Tuesday evening at 9O'clock, Mr.. James
Evans, after several months sickness,
fell asleep in Jesus, to awake in a land
free from disease and pain. Mr.. Evans
was a patient sufferer. and during his
long Illness he never complained nor
murmured, and, when death did come,
II found him ready and waiting to leave
this tenement of clay and join the loved
ones in heaven. He had been mem
Der of the NJ. e. Church, South, for Is
years, and during that time always
lived true christian life. Alexander
church has lost one of its best mbers.
He was always willing to help carry
the burdens of his church as husband
and father he was true and devoted,
and as friend and neigh Dor he was low
ing and kind. Separated now from all
that delighted or tried him on earth, he
has gone to that mysterious sphere,
where duty to God win be done in per-
lection, and the joy of service will be
his heavenly reward. Mr.. Evans
leaves a faithful wife and six children
to mourn his death. May Gods richest
blessings rest on the hereaved ones.
Try to emulate his noble, christian life
so that when the summons come for
you you may meet your loved one
again. Mr.. Evans had battled with the
trials of this world for 81 wears, but at
last that dread disease consumption took
away the vitals of life and he Is no more
among us. The large concoIrse of
friends that followed his body to its
last resting place showed the high
esteem in which he was held by the
people of our community. The funeral
services were conducted by his pastor,
Rev. n. b. S. Owens, in the Methodist
church, after which he was laid to rest
In the Alexander Cemetery, to await

There is no JOY in this world equal to
the happiness of motherhood. A
woman's health is her dearest posses
sion. Good looks, good times, happi-
ness, love and its continuance depend
on her health. Almost all of the sick
ness of women is traceable directly or
indirectly to some arrangement of the
organs distinctly feminine. Troubles
of this kind are often neglected because
a very natural and proper modesty
keeps women away from physicians,
whose insistence upon examination and
local treatment is generally useless as
1T is common. DR.. Pierce's FavOrite
prescription will do more for them than
so doctors in 100 1t will do more than

POINTED

One reason why we can't believe Tur-
key will eve be able to whip Greece
is that the sultan's soldiers smoke Gig
arettes.-Cleveland Leader.
We infer from the lack Of sorrow on
his cOunttenance that Hon. Joseph B.
Foraker is not engaged in sitting up
with Mr.. Hanna's batch Of spring cleo
ton returns.-Washington Post.
Assuming hat the powers do not in
terfere. and that Greece cannot rely
upon assistance from any of them, it is
difficult to see how there can be any
other outcome to the struggle except
it's defeat.-Chicago Tribune.
1t is a pretty quarrel-not as between
Greece and Turkey, for hat is terrible
and tragic. but as among the hungry
suspicious and ravening powers, which
look on in savage Impotence and
await their chance Of spoils.-Washing-
ton Post.
There is reason to believe that the
city has been robbed by democrats I'M
der a democratic administration. 1t is
not enough to say that 50 also nave
there been e. similar frauds I'M
der republican administratiOns.-BostOn
Post.
1t is said by Mr.. Carlisle's friends
that his law practice will be worth
500, 900 to him this year, chiefly from
syndicates and railroad business. 1t
isn't always the case that such corpora
lions are SO cOnsiderate of an ex-official
who has been useful to them in other
dayS.-HOuStOn Post.
There seems to be no hope for Greece.
At sea it may gain some temporary
victories. On land, Turkey, with its
butchers, car probably kill ali who go
forth to meet its armies. Unless some
of the powers step in to prevent war,
events point to the entrance of a Mos
lem army into Athens.-BostOn Journal.

EDgland's Neutrality.

London, April 26.-The house Of COM
mons reassembled today after the
Easter recess. The liberal leader, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt. asked the
government leader. Mr.. Balfour
whether the government would make a
statement in relation to the Graeco-
Turkish var and the policy of the gov
ernment's relations thereto and whether
a British force was still engaged in the
blockade of the island of Crete.
Mr.. Balfour replied that her maiesty's
government, like the governments of
the rest of the powers, had agreed upon
an attitude of neutrality. OF course,
he added, the government was DESTROYS
so soon as a favorable opportunity
should present itself TO do what it
could to offer it's good offices as a
mediator.
Referring to Crete, Mr.. Balfour said
the powers, having assumed the Occu-
patton of Crete before the war, had de-
termined that the island should be
considered neutral and the blockade
maintained in order to prevent oppo-
sition to their authority.
The parliamentary secretary for the
foreign office, Mr.. George Curzon, reply
ing to a question regarding the treat
ment of prisoners on either side in the
war between Turkey n Greece, said
the forign office had no Information
corroborating or denying the reports
of Turkish i'll treatment Of Greek pris-
oners or of Greek i'll treatment Of Turk
ish prisoners.
