To confirm the statement of Mr..

about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, enclosing

with any kind of kidney pills; they are
not pills 1T all, but yellow tablets and

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inilamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inilamed YOU have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inilam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored TO its normal condition, hear

Jinety, the darling baby of MT. and Mrs. Joe Smith died June P, 1899. Little Jinety was 8 precious jewel to those who knew her. Her life was short, but Jesus has teautiful home in heaven for her. By faith we can look into the future and see her safe forever. She was bright flower on earth, the light of the home, but God saw fl to call her to her home in heaven. It is hard to see darling baby taken from it's parents arms. They miss her so much; her iaug hing blue eyes are closed; her sweet voice stilled, no more to be heard in this world. But say to the sorrowing father and mother weep not, for little Jinety is safe. you know where to find her; be faithful to Christ and you will go to her when you cross over on the other shore. M. D.

THE PHILPOT FAMILY.
A Remarkable Incident In a Re-
 markable Family.

While at Cherry Hill recently, a representative of the Star in conver- saticn with Mir S. J. Philpot was in- formed that the family had resided there 29 years, the father of the Phil pots now living there, having moved to that section in 1870.
 A recent count showed that there had eighty grandchildren and over 100 great grandchildren come from this first family, and that six of the Phil pot brothers were still living at Cherry Hill.
 Mir. Philpot also related a most re- markable incident regarding the family, one that has no parallel, and that probably was never in print. He stated that during the civil war seventy-two members of the Phi]pot family enlisted and went through the war as soldiers, the larger number being in the Confederate army, and that not one of the sevent-two died or was ever hit with bullet, or wounded in any manner

Obituary.

At 5:25 p. m. Tuesday, June 21, 1899, the Loid in his wisdom saw fit to call from thi- earthly habitation the life of our dear friend, Mrs. Sarah Gipson, after about two weeks sickness. Be fore she died she became reconciled, and said she was willing for the Lord's s will to be done.
 She was cheerful and pleasant and had host of friends. and was loved by all who knew her. She leaves eight sons and a number of grand children to mourn her loss. We know that our loss is her gain, yet our hearts ache with sorrow, and the funtaln of our tears is unsealed.
 Though she has gone from us, and we shall no more hear her gentle voice or be the recipient of her many kind nesses, she has left to us all. but more especially to her immediate family-a peculiar heritage-the savior of good name.
 Boys revere the memory of your sainted mother, treasure up her coun- sels, emulate her life. It is worthy of imitation, and to know that
 Yonr mothers voice how oft will creep
 It's cadence in your lonely hours,
 Like headings sent on wings or sleep,
 Or dew to the unconscious flowers. May you never forget her melting prayers,
 Even when your pulses readily fly; And in the still, unbroken hours
 May her gentle tones come stealing by.
 A FRIEND.
