Whereas, Our Father in
Heaven has seen best in his wis
dom to remove by death our be-
loved former superintendent and
Sabbath school scholar, jeff d.
Lytle, we bow submissively to His
will, knowing "He doeth all
things WELL" therefore
Resolved, That while we cher
ish the memory Of our deceased
friend and associate for his kind,
genial, manly bearing, the re-
membrance of his earnest, con-
sistent Christian life shall be as
sweet incense to those who knew
him.
That while we deeply sympa-
thize with the tenderly devoted
parents and brothers of our de-
ceased friend, we would remind
them that the good die not. God
calls our loved ones, but we lose
not wholly what he has given.
They live on earth in thought
and deed as truly as in heaven.

More Light.

Who is able to enllghten the
people: Not prophets, bit he
who can make us ''seers. This
is an age when science is brought
home to US. Instead of going on
an extensive trip to New York,
Philadelphia or Boston to have
your eyes fitted with glasses OF
wonderful efficacy and power, one
need only go to Condon's music
store where DR.. Mahony will re-
new your sight. 1t will not be
done by any surgical operation,
but by pair Of glasses so adroit-
ly suited to ones natural vision,
or so skillfully fashioned to coun-
teract any defect of sight that al
most new world is opened to you.
The recommendation which
this gentleman mas received from
the most expert and distinguish
ed members of the medical profess
sion, as well as from high func-
tionaries of state and men whose
sight have been almost restored
by him places his record beyond
cavil.
Dr.. Mahony has in his posses
sion, as one OF his most cherished
keep sakes, a large autograph
album. This book is filled with
thanks and recommendations
from distinguished men. There
are names from Canada to Texas,
including those of governors of
almost every state in the Union.
The medical fraternity of nearly
every city In the Union have
given their high testimonials of
his skill. One of these, a cele-
brated physician, says the differ
ence between DR.. Mahony and
others is that "Others pretend to
do more than they can do: you do
more than you profess to do. "
Although possessed Of the high
est credentials, the doctor is on
his merit only. He feels that he
can confidently rely on his skill
and states that his work is me-
chanical and done with the accu-
racy of a trained mechanic.
DR.. Mahony's name and work
are not unknown to the South,
having practicei his profession in
the different states and enjoying
the highest recognition, and is
travelling at this time for the pur-
pose Of making known his theory
practice and methods to the medi-
cal profession, clergy and public,
being handsomely indorsed by the
leading members of the medical
profession throughout the United
States. though coming so highly
recommended and indorsed, DR..
Mahony does not rely upon tha:
for his patronage, but upon his
actual skill, work and merit. His
superior knowledge and ability
will be recognized and his work
appreciated and commended by
those who give him a trial.

a Great Opportunity.

L. c. Browne, Deputy Supreme
President of the Fraternal Union

The lodge, which is attached to

Miss Hatcher's Reception.

Perhaps the most elaborate, and
certainly one of the most delightful
social functions of the season, was
the reception Mr.. and Mrs. K. H.
Hatcher gave last Tuesday evening
to their daughter, Miss Ethel. Mrs.
Hatcher, with that exquisite taste
for which she is SO well known, had
spared no pains in the house decora-
tions, and the beautiful house, lux
uriantly furnished, was converted
into a garden of mistletoe and holly,
potted plants, garlands and ever
greens. The double parlors were
canvassed and used for dancing,
while the library room opposite was
devoted to cards. At the midnight
hour refreshments were served, and
after that the German was danced,
being gracefully led by Miss Ethel
and Mr.. w. H. Long. There is
nothing more absolutely deliciously
delightful than the unalloyed per-

Bad Accident.
Mr.. B. G. Bracey, of Selma, Ala,
who, with his wife, has been visit
ing Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Dobbins for
several weeks, met with a serious
accident last Monday morning at 10
O'Clock, just at the rear of Dobbins
q Ewing's store.
Mr.. Bracey had been out hunting,
and, running out of ammunition,
had returned to the store to replen-
ish his supply. AS he was mount
ing his horse, the trigger of his gun
"a breach loading shot-gun--caught
on something and was accidentally
discharged, the entire load striking
him in the right wrist.
He was taken to the Office of Drs.
Wilkes & Forgey, where it was
found that his hand was so badly
shattered that amputation was
necessary. He has been getting
along very nicely since the opera
ton, and will soon be able to return
to his home.
Mr.. Bracey, although a stranger
in our midst, has the sympathy of
every one.

Another DISTRESSING Accldent,

Last Tuesday morning, between
IL and IL o'clock, Amos Warf1eld,
the eleven year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Warfield, who live about
three miles from town on the
Pulaski pike, accidentally shot him
self with his fathers shot gun.
The little fellow was climbing
over a stile, holding the gun by the
end of the muzzle, when the trigger
struck something and discharged
the gun, the whole load taking effect
just above one of his eyes and caus-
ing an ugly wound. 1t is feared
that the sight in one of his eyes is
entirely gone. He is getting along
very well at present, and 1t is hoped
that he will soon be out again.
Had the load taken effect a little
above or below where it did, the re-
suit would doubtless have been
fatal.
