Mt. NERO, Feb. 2l.-Friends, neigh
bOrs and relatives were grieved when
on last Saturday morning the sad news
reached them that Mrs. Fannie Nelson
Mckennon was dead. Her death re-
suited from a very severe case of lock-
jaw, from which she had suffered in
tens ely for three days, when the angels
came and released her spirit from
the paiC-racked body and bore it to
realms where sorrow and suffering are
all unknown. AS Miss Fannie Nelson
she was happily married to Mr., George
n. Mckennoh, Jr., something more
seven years of age, lust at the time In
life when the flower begins to expand
and disclOses to our view the beauty it
contains, when the sunshine and show
ers of life, and the many daily infiu-
ences are Brought to bear upon the
heart. Our hearts go out in sympathy
for the bereaved husband and may he
so live that when life is all over with
him he may be prepared to meet her in
that eternal home. To her heart broken
mother, brothers and sisters we tender
our deepest sympathy, but would say,
"Weep not, but strive to put your sor
row away; this is only one more tie
which binds YOU more closely to

Louise, we wish that the virtues and
good disposition of the mother may be
so firmly Implanted in her heart that
she may be'as pure and true, as she,
whose neart was all love aud Kindness,
and whose life shed halo of sweet in
fluence upon those around her. To
know her was to love her. She was

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Nc
writes: "For six years have been &
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying asi::- a deep-res.ed preju.
dice against al patent medicines, ! be.
gan its use. Before 1 had used one bot.
tie the enlargement began TO disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over SI5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts 10 the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

Her sad Ending.

was pretty girl in II Pennsylvania town,
died at Farnhurst IN Saturday, of con-
sumption. Her beauty was her ruin aud
was responsible for her hayward life and
her death am ong strangers IN q county In
stitution.
To-day she will be buried from an un.
dertaking establishment with no oLe to
shed a tear.
Only a fow years ago she was respect
ed resident Of a little town near Lancaster.
Although Of poor family, her beauty
secured her much attention from men. 1t
was not before long the gossips of
tho town began to whisper. Mary grow
tired of the quiet town and went 10 Phil
adelphia where there WINS more ''lite."
For sho t time her family heard of her;
then she stopped writing All trace was
lost OF her although her parents scarched
the great city.
A year or so ago she came to Whining
ton. Her life was beginning to tell on her
then and she became i'll and went away.
She WAS known here as Florence.
She returned to this city In the course
of a few months and WAS again taken III
All of this time her parents who had never
ceased to pray for the return Of their
daughter. were in ignorance OF her where
abouts and the life she was leading. Feel

to her to see her mother once mora. She
sent word and the mother was soon at the

Color Line in Racing,

An interesting question has arisen
over the decision of the l.. A. w. Rae
ing Board that racing men must regis
ter in regard to the boards treatment
Of colored racers. Negroes are ex-
cluded from the League of American
Wheelmen, and it is argued that the
league cannot accept the registration of
a colored racer in consequence. There
are not many negro racers on the
track, but the effect Of the boards de-
cision will be especially interesting IL
1t only touches the case Of Major Tay-
lor, the fast colored lad, whose course
was attended with so many difficulties
last season, owing to the aversion of
his white competitors to racing with
him. Taylor intends to apply for reg
istration soon, and If he is refused he
will probably go to France and race
Another course Is open to him, if he
wishes to evade the decision, by Join
ing the Canadian Wheelmen's Associa-
ton, which does not draw the color
line. Owing to the terms of alliance
between the Canadians and the league,
Taylor could not be debarred from
racing on the league tracks. The
Racing Board has not been called upon
to decide the question as yet.
