edies on the market for coughs, colds,
and that alarming complaint, Group.
We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. We have used it with such good
results in our family so long that it
has become household necessity. By
its prompt use we haven't any doubt
but that it has time and again pre-

DEATH OF JESSE w. MAXWELL

His many friends throughout the
county were shocked, on Monday even
ing, to hear that Mr. Jesse Maxwell
was dead. For several weeks he had
been sufferer from something like
heart trouble, but on the day of his
death had been up and had eaten a
hearty dinner. He, with his wife, son
and neighbor, were sitting about the
fire when, suddenly, the shadow of
Death crept over him and He was
not, for God took him" The mes
sage was as sudden and unexpected as
though he had been in health, for his
Improvement seemed manifest and
there was no apprehension of the
dread visitor.
Mr.. Maxwell was one of the best
citizens of this county, having made
his home at Fair River for number
of years. He was a Confederate vet
eran and fought under Lee in the war
between the States. He was formerly
a member of the Board of Supervisors
of this county and was a faithful mem
ber of the Baptist church.
At the age of 81 he was called upon
to leave forever his family and loved
ones. There are left to mourn him, his
wife, three daughters and two sons,
beside a wide circle of friends. The
eldest daughter, Ella, and the eldest
son, Lee, are married. The other
son, Frank, has been attending the
medical college at Louisville, and ar
rived today from that institution, to
attend his fathers funeral, which
takes place this evening in the Fair
River cemetery.
Again are the living called upon to
mourn their lamented dead. BLESSED
are the dead that die in the Lord"

Henderson & Turnbougb, Brookha-
ven's popular liverymen, will have a
fine lot of horses and mules at their
sales stables in this city next Friday
and Saturday. Any of our readers
needing good horses or mules will find
it worth while to see their stock and
get their figures. One great advantage
in trading with Henderson & Turn
bough is, that they are home men with
a reputation to sustain, own property
and expect to remain in Brookhaven.
1t is to their interest as we'll as the
buyers that an animal they sell is

are not strangers, to our people, here
