DIED.

REBECCA f. FOARD, the beloved
daughter of Sarah ard the late Edward Foard,
died at an early hour this morning from lung
trouble.
A bud the Gardener gave us,
A pure and lovely child;
He gave it to our keeping
To cherish undefiled.
But just as it was opening
To the glory of the day
Down came the heavenly angel
And took our bud away.
Thy gentle voice now is hushed,
Thy warm, true beart is still;
And on thy young and innocent brow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy lovely brow;
And in our aching hearts We know
We have no darling now.
BY HER MOTHER (SARAH).
The funeral took place this afternoon with
that of her father.

c. w. Phillips, an old Confed- crate soldier and printer, is very sick at the Planters Hotel and not expected to live. The printers of the town have thusfar borne his expenses but are not able to properly provide for him. If the Daugters of Confederacy have any funds available for such a case, they could harly find a more needy and deserving in- stance where loyalty to the lost cause and charity to a veteran of the gray. might be served. Colonel Phillips will be remem- bered by his contributions to the campaign of Senator Jones two years ago, in whose behalf he wielded a powerful and argu- mentative pen. His articles were copied throughout the state, be- ing gems of literary excellence as well as political blows.

But Wine of Cardui cured her the same as it has cured thousands of others and Mrs. McDonald has written this letter in order that other suffering women may secure from Wine of Cardui the same relief she got from it.
