Gone But Not FORGOTTEN.

Little Otis Eugene, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. w. Powell. died July 2nd, aged
five years. Truly, the dispensations Of
Providence seem mysterious. But we
have the sweet assurance that "all
things work together for good to them
that love and serve the Lord" We
realize that little Otis is not dead. but
has been transplanted to more con-
genial cline, and few short years
may reunite father, mother and little
brothers in that bright celestial home.
May not the following lines, We sor-
rowing parents, apply to each OF you !:
Alas! how changed that lovely flower
Which doomed to cheer my heart,
Fair neeting comfort Of an hour,
How soon we We're called to part!
Why should l vex my heart or grieve;
No mOrehe' II visit me;
My soul will mount to him at last,
And then my child I'll see. FRIBED'

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-

world. Your mothers and grandmoth-

for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard o.
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean tut the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg

Letter to Dr.. j. &. Dean,
Dawson, Ga,

DEAR SIR: In the permanent way.
That's the only way to have a house
painted, use thin liquid paints and
they'll hardly last long enough for you
to pay the painters bill. Use lead and
you will get heavy, shabby coats OF
paints that chalk and admit moisture
to the wood. Use the L. & NJ. paint
and you will get elastic, preservative
coatings that are we'll nigh permanent
L. & NJ. paint is a semi-paste and needs
the addition of linseed oil, thus max
ing the actual cost extremely low.
Same today as when first made twenty
wears ago Honor the McLain Drug
Co. with q call. Yours sincerely,
LONGMAN q MARTINEZ.
