Resolutions of Respect.

Adopted by the congregation OF the NJ.
4. church, South, at Cedar Bluff, Va,
August l4th, 1898:
Whereas, God, whose ways are mys-
terious, but whose dispensations are guided
by infinite wisdom and love-whose care
is so tender and infinite that sparrow
falleth not to the ground without His
knowledge-hath deemed it best to re-
move from this life Mrs. Lena Mcclure
Reed, be it Resolved,
That we, though bowling in humble sub
mission to the will of Him who doeth all
things well, deeply lament the loss which
the entire community suffers in her death.
Her life, spent from youth almost entirely
in our midst, in the sunshine and kindli-
ness of its character, was such as to en-
twine itself in the affection of those who
knew her. Talented in natural endow-
ments, cultivated and refined by educa-
ton, generous of disposition and kindly OF
character, her life shed brightness upon all
it touched. That it should be cut off in
the bloom OF womanhood presents to us
one of the mysteries of Him who holdeth
the world in his hands.
That amid the gloom and sorrow which
her death causes fingers the assurance
from her own lips that the spirit took its
flight in the security of the Christian s
hope is cheering comfort and consola-
ton to the sorrow stricken family and
friends.
Resolved; That in her death the church
looses a faithful worker. the family, a de
voted member, aud the community, a
friend
Resolved further That we extend to
the bereaved family our heartfelt SYM
pathy, praying to Him who can comfort
in the deepest SORROW, that He may pour
the balm of consolation upon their SORROW
ing hearts.

Quality.

1t is feature of the present that the
purchasing public are not only careful, but
critical in making their purchases.
This is as it should be. Intense COM
petition tends to promote limitations and
authorizations. 1t is therefore safe policy
to rely on established reputation in choos-
ing from the many names that compete
for your patronage. The name Obelisk
has always been associated with the high
est grade four-a synonym Of absolute
purity and never varying quality.

members; and, whereas, we deeply lament
the loss of our dear little sister and friend,
Oracle Scott, who sweetly fell asleep on
the morning of the 18th inst, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That we bow in humble sub
mission to the Heavenly Fathers will,
knowing that while our hearts are sad and
lonely without her in the Sunday school,
she is the happy participant of far more
exceeding and eternal joy, and that her
example of life of purity and gentleness
will never cease to be an inspiration tc
those who will follow in her footsteps.
That we, the surviving members, stiive
to copy her virtue and piety, and forever
cherish her memory.
That we extend TO the sorrowing family
Gather, mother and little sister,, our ten
der sympathies in their sad atllction, and
pray that they may initiate her life O
goodness and devotion in their onward
journey.

corded in our minutes, that copies be sem

The true story Of those 27S days of suf-
fermg by Greely's heroic little band of ex-
plorers in the Arctic region has been told
by General Greedy himself, for the first
time, for the October Ladies Home Jour-
nal, For years General Greely has kept
an unbroken silence about his fearful ex-
perience and that of his companions, as
they dropped dead one by one at his side,
and it was only after the greatest persua-
sion that the famous explorer was induced
to write the story.

We mean Just what we say "pure wheat flour"
There has been so much talk recently Of the
aduteration Of wheat flour, which some mills
have been practicng that we deem it advisable
to tell our customers that every barrel Of Bal
ard's "Obelisk" flour we sell is absolutely pure
wheat flour The Ballard Go. stands behind US
in this assertion if it were necessary; but it is
not because the many consumers Of this IA
NOUS brand well know of its purity, whiteness
and nurtive qualities. We have given the
flour subject great deal of investigation and
have found this to be very superior brand
These are the reasons why we have sold this
flour exclusively for more than five years Be-
sides the above brand we sell

Replying to your invitation, l beg to
say that it would give me great pleasure
to show by personal visit to Chicka-
mauga Park my high regard for the 49,
900 troops OF your command who so pa
triotically responded to the call for vol
unteers and who have been for upwards
of two months making ready for any SER
vice and sacrifice the country might re-
quire My duties however, will not adj
nit of my absence from Washington at
this time.
The highest tribute that can be paid to
the soldier is to say that he performed his
full duty. The field of duty is determined
by his government, and wherever that
chances to be is the place Of honor. All
have helped in the great cause, whether
in camp or battle, and when peace comes
all will be alike entitled to the nations

men of this command to visit it while it
is still intact? There is much to be said
showing how beneficial and needed such
visit is, but you will appreciate better

feel, especially the sick, when they joined
together for purpose, and have done so
much to show their readiness and WORTH

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

BIG BIRD.EATING FROGS.
Species Of Huge and VOraciOus Rep
tiles Haunt Swamps of
Pennsylvania.

A species of bird-eating frog infests
the swamps in Susquehanna county,
Pa. These huge croakers have also
proved destructive to young chickens,
says the New York Press.
A few days since farmer named
Wainwright, of Herrick, had his atten-
ton called to the bird-eating propen-
sity of this species of frog by the cries
of small bird in nearby swamp
Thinking it had been seized by snake,
he FASTENED to the spot, and saw beau
tiful red and green bird in the mouth
of large, greenish frog. Only the
birds head was visible, and its cries be-
coming fainter, the frog was killed and
the bird released. It's feathers were
all wet and Shiny, and for some days
It could be distinguished in the gar.
den by its ruffled plumage.
Since then others of the same species
Of frog have, on several occasions, been
killed with young chickens half swal.
lowed, and once duckling was rescued
from the same fate.
The frogs make clucking sound SC
nearly like that of hen calling her
chickens for food that whole broods
have been deceived and have rushed
toward the swamp, where they supposed
the hen to be. The frogs are wary
and it is difficult to find them except
BY the squeaks of distress from their
victims.
