OBITUARY..

u
Mrs. N. A. HaTdister was
born IN Roane county Tennessee,
May p, 1917, and died at the
home Of her son, David Y. Har-
dister, in lizard county, Arkan-
sas, Jan'y ii, 1898.
The few lines devoted to this
sketch are insufficient to give
even the barest outlines of 5be
joys and sorrows, the trials and
conflicts, the bereavements and
sufferings, incident to a life Of
more than four-score years.
The deceased came to Arkan-
sas in 1929. She was twice
married; first to Martin Penter
in 1885. In 1841 she was left a
widow, with three children. She
was afterward married to 7. K.
Hardister. She was the mother
of ten children, eight of whom
survive her.
In early life, she was converted
and joined the Methodist church.
She loved her church, and her
home was always a home for
the preacher. She was careful
in the training of her children,
and stroVe earnestly to instill
into their minds the truths of
christianity. At the time of her
death, she had the satisfaction
of knowing that all Of her chill
dren were members of the church
except one, her eldest son. She
continued to pray for his con-
version while she lived. She
was a woman of stable virtues.
She possessed a stern sense Of
duty. She loved truth and
would not readily pardon false
hood in her children.
For more than fifty years she
was in poor health. Although
this was the case, her habits
were so regular and pruden
that her days were heightened
beyond the common span o.
life. She was a great sufferel

During this time she lost he,

Springfield Railroad.

The Springfield Reporter of last week
says:
The annual meeting of the Springfield
Electric Railway company was held last
Tuesday at the parlors Of the Adnabrown.
The annual report was read and accepted.
The election of dire was the following
ticket, the only one presented: Adna
Brown, E. G. Crosby, M. A. Coolidge, F.
E. Coolidge and C. W. Wyman. j. l..
Porter, E. G. Crosby and &c. Davis were
elected auditors. The directors held a
meeting after the stockholders adjourned
and elected the following officers Adna
Brown. president; E. G. Crosby, vice
president and general manager; A. j. Cros-
by, clerk and treasurer.
The report of the road, which has been
operated ten months, showed that the gross
receipts were 1922, 8S9.39. After all ex-
penses were deducted there was left as net
income the sum of So, 24O57, which has
been used in paying interest on the bonds
and the funded debt and construction &C
count, with the exception of $158 43, cash
on hand. The amount charged to con-
struction account embraces many expenses
that should have been paid when the road
was being built, but all new roads are alike
in this matter, as there is always some
thing Of the kind to pay for the first year.
The total cost of the road foots up $192,-
66927. The earning capacity of the road
shown by the past ten months operation
demonstrates that by careful management
the coming year will be even better than
the past. No new construction will be
done this year.

BacOn'S Ball-playing.

A BrattIeboro contemporary contains
the following:
When the Brown University base ball
team closed its season last June, it was
considered to have had in Rodman, Fultz,
Phillips and Lauder an infeld which no vii
lage team could hope to duplicate. When
this spring it became known to the local
admirers of Brown that First Baseman
Rodman and Short-stop Phillips had grad
uated from college, there was much specu-
lation as to the chances the reorganized
team would have in winning from her older
college rivals. The vacant positions, first
base and short stop, were entrusted, re-
spectively, to Frank Croker, son of the
famous Tammany chieftain, and Robbyn
Bacon, a born and bred Bellows Falls boy.
How well these two positions have been
filled every one who has followed Brown
in her triumphant career on the diamond
this season fully knows. Bacon has more
than filled the place left vacant by Phillips
and his work improves with every game.
His admirers are ranking him as the best
batting and fielding short-stop playing in
college base ball. In the game won from
Pennsylvania Monday of last week Bacon
was six times at bat, made five hits (every
one a clean one) and he accepted seven
out of eight chances-good bard ones at
that. The Providence Journal says in
criticism of that game: "The batting Of
the home collegians was feature. Bacon
easily led. He connected with the frs,
ball pitched for pretty single. and out Of
six times at the bat got five hits. In the
field he added to bis glory by one-handed
stop behind second base, which won great
applause from the grand stand"

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy to Keep Well if We Know
How Some of the Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The importance of maintaining good
health Is easily understood, and it is
really simple matter if we take cor
rect view OF the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood is employed to
carry ncurishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medI-
cine has such record of cures as Hoods
SarsapariIla and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds of people
are alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as a family medicine by thousands.

A Perfect Cathartic

Is one which does not wrench the system or
leave it weak and exhausted perfect
cathartic is found in Hoods Pills. They are
praised everywhere, and after once being
tried they soon permanently take the place
of the old fashioned drastic pills, such as
tour grandtathers used" Hoods Pills are
the only pills to take with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and they greatly aid that medicine in its
cleansing and purifying work.
