IN MEMORY oF JOSEPH HELM
wITHERs.
j. H. Withers was born at Law
renceburg, KY, June "a, 1924. His
early years were spent in his native
state attending college first at George
town, then at Bacon College, Harrods-
burg, which later became the Ken
lucky University and located at Lex
ington. When but a boy he united
with the Christian church, to which
he remained so faithful In practice, so
loyal in attendance, so upright in
principle, that his pastor could say
OF him that his life was a continuous
sublime sermon. On May 20, 1849, he
was joined in marriage to Joyce d.
Quisenberry at Winchester, Ky, re-
moving at once TO Harrodsburg, where
he became a leading and successful
merchantin that prosperous Kentucky
town and so continued till after the
beginning of the civil war. Having
been an officer in the war with Mexico
and having experienced enough Of its
bitterness on being drafted for service
In the civil war he obtained a substi-
tute and thus was privileged to give
his time TO business and to the are Of
a growing family.
A few years after the close of the
war he removed to Audrain county,
No., and a little later to Mexico,
where he has since resided and where
Jan. 25, 1905, he "fell asleep" to awake
in the land Of eternal peace and etern-
al light.
Mr.. Withers is survived by the wife
Of his youth with whom be has had
happy companionship for IS years and
by five daughters as follows: Mrs. Ed
gar and Mrs. Manllus Hultz,of Colum.
bia; Mrs. Edward and Mrs, John W.
Gamble and Miss Electra Helm With
ers, of Mexico. As a husband and
father he was a model, as a citizen,
loyal; as a friend, lovable; as a Chris
tian, pure; as a gentleman, showing
that elegance and bearing that can
only grow out Of both ancestral and
self culture and which characterized
him as the nobleman that he was in
bis faith toward God and bis walk
among men
So in our midst, and to the loss Of
church aud community, as well as to
his loved ones, has thus ended a long
tut very blessed career. From such
life and lips when the evening time
comes on we NAV well hear the words
Of the poet:
"Sunset and evening stan
And one clear call for me
And may there be no moaning of
the bar

Hyomei the Only Cure for Catarrt
Which Returns Your Money if
Not Satisfactory.

1t is seldom that a druggist has
enough faith in the medicine be sells
even when prepared by himself to be
willing to refund the money If IL
does not cure; but Hyomei has cured
50 many cases Of catarrh among the
csutomers of Woodbridge & Purdy that
they offer to refund the money to all
who use it and report that they are
not satisfied.
Hyomei is the simplest and most
convenient remedy for catarrh evel
offered to the public. Breathed
through an inhaler so small that it
can be carried in the vest pocket, fol-
a few minutes four times a day,
1t will absolutely kill all the germs
Of catarrh and cure the disease,
Catarrh cannot exist where Hyome'
is used. 1t has a two-fold action,
killing all the germs Of the air pas
sages and lungs and soothing and
healing the irritated mucous mem.
brane.
Some Of the most prominent men
and women of the country have
gladly given testimonials to Hyomei
After seeking relief in vain for years
this wonderful remedy has cured
them OF catarrh, and 1t is no wonder
that they want Others to know it.
d. o. Croft, editor Of the Nicholas,
Vile, KY, News, writes; Ever since
l was a young mar | have been troub
led with catarrh, and In later year.
the disease became unbearable. Hyo.
mel has helped me so much that
wish to publicly speak OF It's merits, Sc
that others afflicted as / have beer
may be likewise benefited.
II you have catarrh accept Woold,
ridge & Purdy's proposition and USE

Hyomei costs but 81, and consists o.
an inhaler, medicine dropper and &
bottle Of Hyomei.

rency In a ''makeshift" Of a safe at

from the ST. LOUIS 0t-ODClDcmOCTah.
Miss Leila Sallee, OF Mexico, Mo, who
was an assistant hostess at the Mis-
souri, building, and later an employe
of the Missouri commission in the
Agricultural building at the Worlds
Fair, and Harry B. Gordon, secretary
OF the Norvelle-Shapleigh hardware
company, OF st. Louis, were quietly
married yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock at her home in Mexico, Mo,
by Rev. DR.. A. A. Wallace.
The couple Immediately departed
for Chicago, where they will spend a
week. They will make their home In
this city at $3.50 Clemens avenue. Mr.,
Gordon, who was a widower, has many
friends here, but no relatives or friends
from st. Louis attended the wedding,
Miss Sallee gained considerable
prominence during the Worlds Fair,
when she was an employe of the Mis-
souri, commission. She was stationed
at the Missouri building, and being a
young woman of striking beauty, soon
attracted much attention at the many
social functions there.
HosTEssEs OBJECTED.
The hostesses Of the building object

was said, owing to the alleged assum-
ton that she was one OF the h~ostesses,
which was not the case. They de-
manded her removal, but instead Of
dischargIng her the commissioners
transferred Miss Sallee to the Agri.
cultural building, where she was
given permission to act as hostess and
entertain the visiting Missourians,
This arrangement was not to Miss
Sallee's liking however, and she soon
resigned for the purpose OF returning
to her home In Mexico.
Miss Sallee and Mr.. Gordon were
acquainted before the Worlds Fair,
but their intimacy grew during the
Expositinn, and the engagement IL
said to have been the real cause Of the
young lady's hurried return to Mexi
