winds breath;
And stars to set--but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
Oh, death"
Mrs. Bessie Ferrell- Riddle, wife
OF Prof. +. NJ. Riddle, daughter OF
Mrs. Lydia Ferrell and niece ofthe
late we'll known Richard NJ. Ferrell
passed away Friday, Nov. 2fth
after an illness Of only few days.
Her death, which was very unex-
pected resulted from what was
supposed to have been blood
poison. She leaves husband,
mother and three small children.
I he youngest being only eleven
months old, also sister and two
brothers. The little children are
well cared for by the dear old
grandmother Mrs. Ferrell, whose
long time kindness TO the sick In
this community has endeared her
to every one. Prof. Riddle, wife,
children and grandmother, consti-
tuted an ideal family. Never was
there a word OF dissension between

on the side OF all that was sound
land OF good report.
She was twenty-five years OF age
and had been married more than
| five years, since which time she
had frequently been engaged as a
teacher in The public school here
and had SO endeared herself TO the
little ones that many OF them
were wild 10 their lamentations OF
grief on learning Of her unexpected
death.
The funeral, which was one oI
: the largest ever seen in Pikeville
was held in the Christian church
after which the body was laid tt
rest beside her father in the beauti
full cemetery on the hill.
Bessie Riddles death shocked
! and grieved the entire community
! She was one oQhe finest character
t we ever knew. Her sweet, woman
\ y attributes might well hav
made her model for others. Sh,

HOW to Prevent Croup.

1t will be good news to the moth
ers OF small children to learn that
Group can be prevented. The first
sign OF Group is hoarseness. A
day or two before the attack the
child becomes hoarse. This is soon
followed by peculiar rough cough.
Give Cham berlain's Cough Reme-
dy freely as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the
rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms OF Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety
may be avoided. This remedy is
used by many thousands OF moth
ers and has never been known to
fall. 1t is, in fact, the only reme-
dy that can always be depended
upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by A. NJ.
