The claim of other cough medi- cines to be as good as Chamber lain's are effectually set at rest in the following testimonial of Mir. c. D. Glass, an employe of Bart lett & DenDis Co.,, Gardiner, Me. He says: II had kept adding to a cold and cough in the winter of 1897, trying every cough medi- cine heard of without permanent help, until one day I was in the drug store of Mir. Houlehan and he advised me to try Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and offered to pay back my money if 1 was not cured. Ny lungs and bron- ehial tubes were very sore at this time, but l was completely cured by this remedy, and have since al ways turned to it when I got a cold, and soon find relief I also recommend 1t to my friends and am glad to say it Is the best of all cough medicines" For sale by Brown, McQuiston < Go.

w 70 are either members or frieuas of our church who havt paid Hoth- ing yet. Hey are just as true hearted as those who have given large amounts, yet if they would give even q little, it would amount to more than has been paid. We ask everyone in this county who has not given anything yet on the Twentieth Century Fund for our educational work to give some thing to our school at Fordyce. We-can make it the best school in the state. While the few with their larger gifts are equipping GUT colleges, let Us, with our smaller gifts, equip our Training School. By so doing we put our small amounts where they will make the best showing. You have been paying taxes every year to keep up the State University at Fapette- vile, now, for once, give some thing to Christian education as done by our church. Give the money to the Methodist preacher on your circuit and tell him what it is for. If you haven't the mon- ey now, make your subscription to be paid at your convenience.

 friends was present and asked Melvin to let him see his gun. S they walkedinto side room where the gun was kept; Robbie took tn, gun and thinking it was empty snapped it, when 10 it fired, anc the ball struck Melvin in the Jeff temple and come out above anc back of the right ear, killing hin almost instantly. Unfortunately Melvin had got some new car. tridges that day and tried one in the gun and neglected to take il out.
 Melvin was a good boy. Those that knew him best have every reason to believe he was truly a christian, notwithstanding he had never united with the church or made any open....eonfession. He was boy of strong convictions {; if he thought he was in the right no power could change him. He had a very tender feeling for the weak and helpless. ever ready to lend a helping hand. If he found a bug that had unfortunately fall en into the water, for fear that 1t might drown he would lift 1t gent ly out and put 1t in some conyen- tent place to dry-thereby saving it's life
 He was a marvel to us all, There seemed to be something hidden in his nature that we could not under stand; but we were watching and patiently waiting for its develsp- ment.
 He was a strong advocate of temperance. He would not dare touch any intoxicating drink or take tobacco in any form and would preach against it to anyone, regardless of age or sex; but, alas his work on earth Is done.
 It was my privilege to be with and talk with Melvin great deal during the past year and 1 never heard him say anything that tend ed to evil in anyway. He was a promising boy, and being the youngest 1t was natural that his parents should lean on him for comfort and support in their de cining years but Gods ways are mysterious yet we know He do- eth all things well.
 Dear father and mother trust not to the things of this earth for hap piness; but lean on the almighty arm of God and He will sustain thee To, 1 am with thee always, even unto the end of the world. Father, mother, brother and sister cast all your cares on Jesus and don't forget to pray. Strive 10 live so that when the summons comes you will be ready to meet your dear son and brother who is standing at the beautiful gate to welcome you home where parting Is no more and sorrows never come. There is an hour of peaceful rest To mourning wanderers given; There is tear for souls distressed A calm for every wounded breast , lis found alone in heaven.
