The Greatest Discovery Yet

w. M. Rppine, editor Tiski]wa, Ill.,,
"Chief," "says: We won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery
f, Consumption, Coughs and colds.
Experimental with many others, bnt
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds Whooping
Cough. ETC." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they ar
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is gnaran-
teed. 1tnever fails to satisfy. Trial

Attempted Suicide.

Ed Lindsay, of Adrian, who hal
been afflicted with paralysis to such
an extent as to render him unable tt
work, and who has been assisted
more or less by the county, attempt
ed to end all earthly troubles Friday
by the poison route at the Hote]
Slade. Coroner Plotts was summoned
to Adrian Friday evening to investi
gate the matter, but upon arrival
there, found the party returning tc
life.
Lindsay has been stopping at the
Hotel Slade and has been confined
to his room for the last few days.
Attendants entered his room Friday
afternoon and found the man iu an
unconscious condition. A doctor was
summoned, who pronounced it case
of poisoning by opium. After con-
siderable search, x-ounce bottle OF
laudnum was found under his pillow
with about two ounces gone. By
this and the mans condition it was
supposed that he could not live, but
after Mr.. Plotts got there the pulse
began to beat, and from recent re-
ports the man is recovering.
The physician made inquiries as to
where the laudnum was purchased
and found that he had purchased it
at the drug store about two months
ago, so it would appear that the act
was premeditated. 1t is conjectured
that the thought that he would ulti-
mately have to be taken to the poor
house caused him to make the unsuc.
cessful attempt.

MANY Think!

when the Creator said to woman,
"1n sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering lurk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
lied, in full vigor and strength.

clEClIs-GOlNG AND PAYING The
PREACHER.

At a recent congregational meeting al
Tryon Street Methodist church in Chaf-
lotte. Mr.. Chas. W. Tillett made what
the Observer called 4 stirring money
talk" and says:
Amongst other things he said that he
would rather be a church membe who
went to every dog show. circus and
hypnotic entertainment and PAID MS
church assessment. than TO be a church
member Who did not 90 TO these things,
and yet who would not pay his assess
ment.
There is a world of sense in Mr.. Ill
let's homely presentation of the duty
of a church member to pay for the sup
port of the gospel. There are many
church members who want TO preserve
the parity between paying the assess
ments and going to circuses. Does I'D

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION.

As our correspondent points out, the
meeting of the Baptist State Convention
in Grccnyille this year brings out i
contrast in which cv-ty member Of
that church can feel q just pride-the
contrast between q small beginning and
Il truly great accomplishment. Tho
years between 1880, the year in which
the first State Convention met at Green
vile. and 1898, when the convention is
in session there again, have been years
Of marvellous growth in the power and
membership of the Baptist denomination.
At this the members Of all denomina-
tons will rejoice with the Baptists.
Within the period mentioned there has
been not only a great numerical in
crease in the Baptist church, but lis
literary, educational and charitable in
situations have been founded and built
up to their present high state of useful
ness and efficiency. Wake Forest Col
for the higher education of Baptist
young men, a number Of preparatory
schools throughout the State. the or
phanase at Thomasville, the Biblical
Recorder and other papers of the denom-
nation within the State. have all been
the work of the church since the State
convention was organized. The Bap-
fist Female University here. now well
on toward completion, should not be
omitted from q summary Of the outward
evidences the denomination has given oc
the faith that is in it.

the work Of its hands since it first be
came an organization, none. certainly.
will feel that it is not permissible. ana
that body may we'll find in its past in
spiration to even greater achievement
hereafter.
One of the most encouraging signs Of
the times is that, not only tie Baptists,
all churches are alert to meet the
increasing opportunities that each SSAal
brings them.
