rs TT RIGHT.
For an Editor to Recon-
mend Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard. n. CT
1t may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as proven
tive of suffering we feel it a duty TO
say a good word for Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy. We have known and used
this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found
it reliable. In many cases a dose
of this remedy would save hours of
suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depend
ing implicitly on any medicine for
cure, but we do believe that if bot
tie of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and adj
ministered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
the presence of a physician would
now be required. At least this has
been-our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by w. J.

In Memoriam.

Mrs. /. A. Snipes, wife of w. l.
Snipes, of Mercer, and daughter oil
Mr.. and Mrs. S. +. Nuckolls, OF
Toone, died at her home in Mercer,
at 1890 am, July 5th. Mrs.
Snipes became a christian in July,
1883, joining the Baptist Church,
but afterwards joining the Metho-
dist Church with her husband.
Her life was thoroughly consist
ent with her profession, hence we
were not surprised that she spoke
of death as the gateway to eternal
rest. Nevertheless, her death was
peculiarly sad, being the first of a
large family to try the realities of
the beyond, leaving not only pa
rents, husband and a host of kin
dred and friends, but three small
children, who are thus robbed of a
mothers love, counsel and care.
Quiet, patient, a constant suffer
or, her life was exemplary, her
death sad, but beautiful in triumph
ant faith, satisfying hope, and her
entrance into the rest of which she
spoke doubtless a joyous reality.
For 81 years she lived, and the
impress of her life was for good.
Gentle and loving hands ministered
to her wants in the last hours, and
buried her body into the grave at
Shady Grove on the morning of
July 9th, the pastor of the Metho-
dist Church at Mercer conducting
the funeral service.
1t is a blessed privilege to live,
but it is infinitely more blessed TO
so live as to leave a good influence
and have joyous entrance into the
beyond.
Blessings on those who loved her,
and the hope that was hers be given
by faith to those she loved.

HARDEMAN'S HISTORY,
BY HISTORIAN.

In the preceding chapter, we
brought out the sturdy, enterprising
! settlers of the early days of Harde-
man County, showing how they
battled against all the disadvantages
of settling in a wilderness country,
and with what herOism they sue
ceeded in gaining a victory. How
well they advanced was witnessed
] by "Historian," he having come to
this county in 1884 and resided here
continuously until the present time,
covering a period of 65 years. He
has seen the majestic forest disap-
pear to a large extent before the
woodlands ak, and we'll enclosed
farms take it's place. The log
houses, without an iron nail in
them, have been removed and houses
of more beauty have taken their
places. Bolivar, the county site
up to the forties was a dirty village.
After that, it began to grow in size
and beauty.
The old ferry flats have been re-
moved and substantial iron bridges
span the river and creeks at the
principal crossings on the highways.
From 1910 TO 1860 this county
was in the palmiest days of its ex-
/ istence.
Then came the war between the
States. Then "the abomination of
desolation" stalked through the
land, carrying sorrow and poverty
in it's pathway. Houses were pill
LACED and burned, barns were empt-
led and stock killed or carried away,
money stolen, wealth squandered,
citizens driven from home or incar-
cerated in loathsOme prisOns-and
all this said to be done to break up
the rebellion. But it only served
to make it worse. But the end
came at last.
The sons of the worthy sires who
came here early and made the desert
blossom as the rose, who fought
with them, returned to their homes
and began to reclaim and rehabilj-
tate, inspired with the same brave
spirit that nerved their hearts and
hands in the day of battle. And
they have gained another victory
that will be applauded by unknown
millions in ages to come, when the
truth shall have been written and
read by uDprejudiced future gener-
/ atoms.
The older citizens of Hardeman
County, who still survive, know
how they came through all the
dangers, snares, sorrows, tribula-
tions and tolls, and how they bore
their own burdens land great por-
ton of the colored peoples burdens
too) and they can see how well they
have borne, fought and wrought,
so that when life is ended and they
lie down TO rest, those who survive
can see In their withered hands the
palms of victory they bore, and
step into their places in the line
where stood the fallen ones and en-
ter the work and perpetuate it and
point TO the life and works of the
dead as enduring monuments, TO en-
courage the faint and weary ones TO
be true and brave as those who
have gone before.
This may not appear to some as
an appropriate page in Hardeman's
History, but l ask this indulgence
to the old man, as it is the 4th of
July.

CORRESPONDENCE.
TEAGUE.

Mrs. Ragged Edge" acknowl
edges the receipt of the following
letter from cousin in the city:
"Dear Cousin-We have been
planning to visit you for ever SO
long, and our opportunity has at
last arrived. Scarlet fever has
broken out in an awful form in the
family of one of our neighbors.
Tom, Sissie and little Edgar have
all been exposed, and we think it
best to get them and the other six
children to the country as soon as
possible. We will be apt to stay
with you a month. Let US know
when you can receive u.s.
Mrs: r. answered her cousins
letter i'll due time and entrusted the
mailing of the same to me. Now,
If that letter reaches its proper des-
tination, shall always believe that
there is an art in the delivery sys-
tenn not known to the common pub
lie. | might remark further that
nothing unusual is taking place at
our house that would indicate that
company from the city was expect
ed-a sign that makes me feel
grateful indeed.
Prof. Whitfield, of Medon, i'll
teach at this place.
Joshua Anderson, a gay widower
of Antioch, attended the dinner the
4th instant at the Mineral Spring
three miles east Of here.
Elder S. Miller, of Chester Co.,
filled the pulpit at league Sunday.
Pastor Mahaffey will conduct a
series of meetings at this place be-
ginning the fifth Sunday.
Several car loads of lumber have
been shipped from this place in the
last few weeks by r. M. Harris and
G. NJ. Cottongim.
Lucille" why import poetry to
grace the brow of your favorite?
Why not use some of the produc-
tions of dragged Edge" or "Bach-
elor?" They would doubtless be to
some extent borrowed, but they
would have a little of the home
smack. However, when tie time
comes, | will render a decision as
impartial as Partially will allow,
and trust to you to steer me clear
of resulting trouble. We will wait
for "Evergreen's'' good news.
Should it be some more poetry,
then oh /! my "Ba,nelor" will
never again complain of the songs
without meter or the times he'd
set to meet'er.
Recently heard every one of the
BULLETINS contributors compli-
mented except dragged Edge" 1t
will be several years before I'm in
humor to write that PERSONS obit-
uary in strain that would make
people left behind think he didn't
need ice and palm leaf fan.

Death of Gardner Upham.

Gardner Upham, lOl, Windham's most
prominent citizen, is dead. Mr.. Upham was
typical Vermonter. He was born in Gull
ford, May 2, 1898. his father being one of the
first settlers of the county. The family moved
to Windham in 1904 Here he was farmer,
town officer, an abolitionist, vhig and re-
publican, and useful in church and state. He
married in 1927 Eunice A. Emory, daughter
of Amos Emory, one of the earliest settlers
and leading men of the county. Mrs Upham
died in lS48. and of the seven children born
of this union three only survive. The past
few years of his life were very quiet, his
greatest pleasure being to receive visitors at
his Preside and relate incidents of his youth
full days. Mr.. Upham's mind had not been
wholly occupied with the past, as is the case
with most centenarians; on the contrary, hav-
ing been able to read with the aid Of glasses
almost up to his death, his interest in current
affairs was remarkable. The Spanish. Amer
lean war was of especial interest to him, from
the fact of his having lived through all the
wars of this country since the Revolution.
Mr.. Upham was lifelong member of the
Congregational church, and for many years
active in its management. He held almost
every town Cffice.
