Few people know that all plants
contain digestive principles. They
cannot absorb their food until 1t is
digested any more than animals
can. The Mount Lebanon Shakers
have learned the art OF extracting
and utilizing these digestive prin-
ciplrs, and it is for this reason that
their Shaker Digestive Cordial is
meeting with such phenomenal
success in the treatment of dys-
pepsia. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial not only contains food
already digested, but it also con-
tains digestive principles which
aid the digestion of other foods
that may be eaten with it. A sin
gle 10 cent sample bottle will be
sufficient to demonstrate lis value,
and we suggest that every suffer
ing dyspeplic make a trial Of it.
LANOL is the best medicine for
children. Doctors recommend it
in place of Castor Oil.

OBITUARY.

Our grandmother, Mrs. #. G..
Fuller, died of Pneumonia at her
nome in Laurens County, on the
18th Of January. She had been
IN III health for more than a year,
and though we realized that we
would soon have to give her up,
still when the shock came we were
not prepared. We hoped and
prayed that she might live to see
the spring flowers bloom once
more. But alas! for our earthly
hopes. Death came and claimed
her for his own, and she left us
to go and dwell in that beautiful
world beyond the grave, where all
is peace and happiness. She has
lived a long and useful life-use-
ful to God and to her fellowman.
we know she has found a home in
We are grieved to give her up, but
Heaven.
The dear old home is lonely and
sad without her. She had been a
member of the Baptist Church at
Beaverdam for more than thirty
years, and never was a member
truer to her VOWS than was she to
hers. We laid her to rest in the
cemetery at Beaverdam, where the
pains and sorrows of this world
can never o touch her loving
heart.
'She is sleeping the last deep sleep,
FROM which men never wake to weep.
Sleep on dear one, and take thy rest,
God has called thee home
He thought it best"
GRANDDAUGHTER.
Chappell Hill, Tex.
Edwin Cook, son of John c.. and
Mamie Cook, suddenly came to
his death February Is, 1897. He
was born January 30, 1877. He
joined the Baptist church at Cross
Hill when quite young, and lived
a consistent member up to his
death. He was a young man of
fine character; universally respect
ed by all who knew him. He de-
voted himself with untiring love
to his friends and family. There
are loving hearts which still bleed.
1t is hard to comfort them, for
their loss is great and their wound
deep.
After all, isn't it sweet and COM
forting that their loss has been his
gain? that he now calmly rests in
the presence of his blessed Saviour,
forever freed from the tolls and
burdens of this world.
May we not ask each reader of
these lines to send up an earnest
prayer for restraining grace to be
given to the bereaved family and
his church, upon whose hearts the
mantle of sorrow, dark and deep,
has fallen. But we us Il bercavcd
church cal only say farewell, dear
brother. Gods will be DONE
You l. sadly missed in your dear
old church, and your Sunday
school class. These sad changes
bring to us memories of Il pre-
cious past that can never be re-
newed in their completeness until
we all meet in our Fathers house
above. A FRIEND.
