DEATH OF Mr.. b. POWELL.
A Good Man Passes Away After Short
Illness.

The death Of Mr.. b. l. Powell was
briefly mentioned in these columns
last week. He died at his home in
day morning. having been confined
to his bed about three weeks Mr..
Powell had not been in good health
! Tor some time and his friends had no.
tlced that he lost much Of his buovant
spirit and cheerful disposition but
they did not think that fatal maladv
was preying upon his yitals. He had
some brain trouble. He seemed per
feet man physically as strong and
robust of nature as he had alwa-s
been apparently. and this made his
condition all the sadder if possible.
Gradually he grew worse and five or
six weeks ago he had to give up work
and come home. a short while later
Mr.. Powell took his bed his case baf-
fling the skill of physicians in their
efforts to make it WELD to treatment.
Benjamin Iredell Powell was 30
years and months old. He was born
and reared in Warren county and had
been a resident Of Henderson about u
first time to Miss Ella Moore. by whom
he had I children > of them now liv-
ing, ) girls and BOYS.
The second time he married Mrs.
Ella Webb, and to them were born a
boy and girl, both living.
Mr.. Powell was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church having
become 4 COMMUNICATE when but lit
tie over ID Years of age. He was ever
afterwards consistent church mem
Der and cheerful Christian, devoted
to the work Of his church, faithful in
his observance of its ordinances,
loyal in the service of his Saviour.
The funeral was held from the NJ.
r. church at II o'clock Friday, the
pastor Rev. NJ. II. futile conducting
the service. Mr.. Powell was an Odd
Fellow and was buried with the honors
of that Order. There was a large
turnout Notwithstanding the the rain
and mud. The body was taken to
Warrenton and buried in the old
cemetery near that town where re-
pose the remains of many of his peo-
pie before him. Rev. G.. n. BRAY and
Mr.. a. L. Barnes went along as an
escort of honor representing the Odd
Fellows.
Mr.. Powell was of a cheerful, happy
disposition, with warm heart and
generous nature, and carried sunshine
and pleasure wherever he went. One
always felt better for having been
with him.
If he had cares and troubles he did
not believe in burdening others with
them. TO him the good things of this
life far outnumbered the bad, the
joys were greater than the sorrows.
An etfectionate husband and loving
father he will be sadly missed in the
home. A good citizen and consider
ate ncighbor, a true man and sincere
friend, a genial, golden hearted Chris
tian gentleman the world is better
for his having lived in it.

What We Eat

Is intended to nOuriSh and sustain us, but
it must be digested and aSsmilated before
it can do this. In other words, the nouriSh-
ment contained in food must be separated
by the digestive organs from the waste
materials and m ust be carried by the blood
to all parts of the body. We believe the
reason fer the great benefit which so many
people derive from Hoods SaNapaIilla
lies in the fact that this medicine gives
good digestion and makes pure. rich blood .
1t restores the functions of those organs
gives strength to nerves and muscles. 1t
also cures dyspepsia, scrofula. salt rheum,
boils, sores, pimples and eruptionS. catarrh
