The Government is running behind
several millions of dollas every month,
and another bond issue is forthcoming.
But the people-they pay the freight
'Greeneville Democrat.
The deficit for the second mouth of
the Dingley law was only n fourth
of the deficit of the Wilson law during
its second month, consequently. the
likelihood of a bond issue by the pres.
ent administration is just four times
as unlikely as 1t was at that time.
Then do not forget the fact that during
the debate on the Wilson Law foreign
manufacturers were waiting for the
passage of the free trade measure in
order to be benefited by it's provisions;
while just previous to the passage of
the Dingley Law all those who had
goods to send to our markets were
rushing them TO this country in order
to escape the additional duty they
knew SO we'll would be demanded
under the new tariff law.

S~crofuious Herbors- How q Cure

"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula IN his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared In the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then. scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
himsfour bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had,a1l been driven out Of his

Goldia May Cloyd, was born May Is,
1874, died December II, 1896; Tom Bell
Cloyd, born April 81, 1872, died February
3, 1897; Efie Florence Cloyd, born April
10, 1875, died September 10, 1887.
Within a year death has entered one OF
our homes and taken away: two sisters
and a brother.
1t may be truly said that death, the
King of Terror loves q shining mark (;
since those infull bloom and hope Of life
are his victims.
How beautiful is that sleep when 1t
rests upon the marble brow OF the young,
who have made all things pleasant and
happyabout them although having suf-
fered intense pain from that dreaded
disease, consumption.
Each of these dear ones bore pain pa
tiently, almost without a murmur. Never
were there more devoted onaffectionate.
1t seemed that each was a part Of the
others lives. Kind and loving, happy
and light hearted, twas a pleasure to be
with them. Yet wewould'not call them
back. III
All three having professed religion,
May and Enie were members Of the
Presbyterian Church at Salem. The in
fluence Of these young lives were felt in
church, Christian Endeavor, among
friends and at home. And their influence
is still going out, for 1t is said "our deeds
live after us" Those of us who have met
with them'day after day in school will
not soon forget the happy hours spent
together.
Their ready sympathy, friendly ways,
hearts full and OVERLOOKING, so sweet, SO
true, so kind, gained friends for them on
every side.
What they were to u all, we leave I'M
spoken, because we can not tell the place
they filled in our hearts. We can truly
say the world is better for their having
lived in 1t. God lent us these gifts to
brighten our lives q little span, and we
know not why He has seen fit to take
them back so soon.
Twas only q short time after May left
us until Tom was taken too, yet we did
not think 1t would be SO soon. And then
when Fife left alone, her heart sad, still
she tried to cheer father and mother by
singing and being cheerful
Father and mother, brother and sister,
we would say 10 You as Efie sang: "Not,
now, but in the coslng years, 1t may be
in the better land. Well read the mean
ing of our tears, and there, som time,
Well understand" No more will their
voices be mingled with ours In song, or
meet them face to facefin this world, but
God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides with unerring hand, sometime,
with fearless eyes, Well see. Yes, there,
up there, We'll understand. Every year
the Father calls a loved one to rest;
every year some hand has finished the
work given it to,do, and the eyes that
once answered back-ou words of love,
are feasting on the glories Of the better
laud.

When we.tread the vast unknown,
We shall find our ransomed dear ones, |
Seated around the great white throne.
Look up to Him, 0, hearts that mourn,

Still tenderly your lambs have borne

In vain to God, to. keep;
