You Need a Good Spring Tonic
The Only Remedy of Its Kind known.

IhO OuIy AsDIIluHJ OF HAtlIu NAllUEII'
The real worth of Mull's Grape
Tonic as a spring medicine is une-
qualled. 1t acts pleasantly on the
system. Mull's Grape Tonic revives
the depression and languor felt by
everyone at this time of year. 1t
cleanses the system gently. The So
called spring tonics are constipating
and you are warned to take some kind
of pills, which as a rule are severe
and facilitating in action, and do
more harm than good. MulPs Grape
Tonic, the crushed fruit laxative, is
the only remedy of its kind known.
We recommend this remedy TO our
patrons as a valuable article. A large
bottle for so cents; no other size
made.

npssat Elk Park IN this State
and four years later lie went
to Central America, where he
became the contractor of the
Ret1ublic of Honduras, in the
construction of public high
wars. In this position of
trust and confidence he es-
tablished himself as a man
ofrare business ability. He
returned to the North State
and tu his native county IN
1882 and in Il shOlt time
was married to Miss Emra
t'ounrill, who with three
small children survive him.
subsequent to his marriage
he has been engaged in the
general mercantile and hotel
business. His Efforts in this
business have been
crowned with marked success
Al a yonng man he exhibited
sterling traits of character.
He was a dutiful and obe-

gentle and loving husband,

friendship vas the kind that

He was ever generous ir

can stand up before the

lies cold in death, and say
that Mr.. Taylor ever turned
away any person who haG

faint Indication Ol the es-

held. within and without the

WAS a consistent and loyal
rhurhman, and had a mind
broad enough and a heart
kind enough to recognize
good, in all churches and de.
nominations. He had his
own religious convictions
and preferences yet he helped
and sympathized with all.
He believed firmly in the
charity of tolerance. He
was a public spirited man,
ever anxious and ready to
plead the cause and promote
the inter est of material pro.
gress, in his town, county
and state. Although his
earnest efforts and effective
work was done in a modest
and unostentatious way, yet
men knew of it. You cannot

lOIlIu eve ilt uicc, uc ciIttti
live no longer in monument
than the bell rings and the
widow weeps"a s"a--truism.
Men do not have their full
influence while they live.
The dead rule the world to
day. ''Our chance to rule it
is, ,in the future" said a great
thinker. A man is great,
not for what he is in himself,
but for what he is to his
fellow men without the
sphere OF self. 1t is better to
live IN the minds and hearts
OF those who love us, and
those we love, than to have
our names chiseled upon a
marble slab. It's more glor-
ious to sleep peacefully in
some unknown isolated
country grave yard with the
sweet consciousness OF hav-
ing done ones duty to ones
fellow men than to be coffin
ed in a sarcophagns of gold,
with nothing for comfort but
the nightmare OF a guilty
conecience. Duty is the pre-.
paration for life eternal, duty
to God, duty to man, duty
to self. We cannot read the
pages of the future, but We
can prepare ourselves to meet
it's exigencies. Just a week
ago, he who lies before Us,
motionless to-day, was
about his duties apparently
in good health, last Satur-
day he was smitten with a
seriOns illness. As The mo-
ments and hours glided by
his condition became more
and more critical until Thurs
day morning, when in spite
OF all that medical science
and genius could administer,
bis soul took its flight. The
guardian angel of death laid
it's icy fingers upon his throb
bing pulse, and a warm and
generous heart ceased to
beat. God had called him.
1t is but the proof of his
words, "Behold l come quick
ly." 1t was in the twinkling
OF the eve, in a moment he
was snatched away. Like
the soaring eagle swoopinR
down upon it's unexpected
prey like the keen flash ol
lightning from a clear sky,
he was gone. In the face ol
such sudden incidents, We
cannot but believe, "That
man hat was born OF a wO
man hath but a short time
to live, and is full Of misery
"He cOmeth up and ia cut
down like n flower. he feethl
as it were, as a shadow" and
that Mn the midst of life we
are in DEATH" There il al
ways a special value placed
upou the last words that a
man utters just before he
leaves this world. Why!
Because we know they are
true and truth is OF God
Only a short time before Mr.
Taylor lett this world he call
ed his loJ ing wife to bis bed
side and sent a message to
his absent brother-in-law
who had been associated
with him inbnsiness for many
years.. and whom he loved
az he loved his own soul, tC
the effect: that il, during
