REACHED A RIPE OLD AGE
Death of Negro Preacher at Age of
1O1 Years.

New LONDON, Conn, May 16.-Rev.
VIM. H. Connor, believed to have been
the oldest negro preacher in the coun.
try, died at his home in this city today,
aged nearly 101 years
He was born in slavery in Whitmarsh
township, in what is now Baltimore
county, Maryland. In 1929 he escaped,
and for years was employed in hotel
in New York. He came to New London
in 1840. He began preaching before
1850, and though never ordained, was
at the head of the negro religious socie-
ty here and was affectionately known as
Father Connor.
His powers were remarkably preserv-
ed up to a short time ago.

An Excellent Combination

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening 1axa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
