Death Of Mr.. Emmett Gunter.

After hard fought battle for
that life which is so dear to us
al and which to the young is al
ways filed with Joy and hope,
Mr.. Emmett Gunter, the bright
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. J.
Gunter, passed peacefully away
at the home of his parents on
College street about seven OF lock
last Friday evening. Although
only twenty-five years of age. Mr..
Ganter has for a long time past
been sufferer from consump-
ton, TO the ravages of which
disease he has at last succum bed.
About two years since he left his.
home in this city and went to
New Mexico in the hope that the
climate there would prove bene-
fetal to his lungs, which were in
a very weak condition. For a
while his health seemed to grow
better. but the improvement was
only of a temporary nature, and
several months since he return
ed to Colum bus, having deter
mined that he could be more
comfortable at home than any
where else, and that he would
spend the closing days of his life
among those whom he loved and
to- whom he was so inexpress-
alb y dear.
Emmett Gunter was brave,
noble, manly, young fellow, and
his struggle for life was pathetic
as well as heroic. He had a happy
home, kind parents, sisters and
brpthers, who watched over him
tenderly. The loving care of
relatives and friends and the
skill of physicians count for lit
tie, however. when a dreaded |
disease has marked a man as it's
victim, and despite all that could |
be done for him he grew grad
ua1y worse until death finally
came to relieve him of his suffer
ings. During all his long illness
he bore the pain without mur-
muir, and was ever kind and |
grateful to those who watched |
over him, seeming to appreciate |
most sincerely every thoughtful
act on the part of his friends, of I
whom he had quite a large num-
Der. His death brings a great
to the mem bers of his
family and to a large number of
to whom the sincere /
sympathies of THE DISPATCH are
rendered in the great bereave-
ment which has befallen them.
The funeral took place at the
family residence on College
street at four o'clock yesterday
having been conduct
ed by Rev. L. M. Broyles, pastor
of the First Methodist church.
Messrs. Mvrick Cox, w. L.
Gardner. VIM. Bishop, Leighton
Lide, Henry Sherrod and Jas.
Newby, Jr., officiated as pail
bearers.

pound after physicians nave advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merk1ey Of e75 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Loss of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
ME to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
making an examination, said I had ovarian
trouble and liberation and advised an opera
ton. To this I strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound. The liberation quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and I am
once more strong, vigorous and well"

lily on the increase among women. If

or too frequent and excessively you
have pain or swelling low down in the
left side, bearing down pains, leucor-
rhea, don't neglect yourself try Lydia

Success On the Farm.

Success on the farm depends on
something more than the mere per-
fOrmance of manual labor. The farm
err must study to direct this labor in
view of certain ends to produce the
best results. In other words, labor
must be coupled with well-directed
thought, if the best interests are to
be subserved. The farmer should not
confine himself and family to the dull
routine of daily labor without IN
form Of amusement or recreation. You
know All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy"
The farmer should endeavOr to keep
himself posted on public matters, es-
pecially those that effect his interests.
Newspapers are cheap, and there need
be no excuse for delinquencies in this
matter.-Epitomist.
