Impressive Services Held at LOuis-
 xrfVI~ TRvnNfeFY

Impressive Services Held at Louis
 viIIc Cemetery.
 The following Is an account from z Louisville newspaper of the funeral oi J. B. Thompson, who died at his hom' on Goldthwaite street last Frida! morning and whose remains were in tered at Cave Hill cemetery, Louisville Kentucky last Saturday afternoon.
 The remains of Jacob B. Thompson of Montgomery Ala, formerly citizer and prominent railroad man of Louis vile, who died at his home at Mont gomery Friday morning March 23 were brought to Louisville for inter ment today.
 "The funeral services were held al the chapel at Cove Hill Cemetery and were conducted by Rev. J, w. Tyler.
 ''The services was an especially im- pressive one from the fact that though for a number of years MT. Thompson had made his home in another State and had drawn about him In his new home other and closer ties of friend ship, a large number of the friends and comrades of his past life were gather ed about the casket, some to pay their last respect, and to place beautiful flowers there, while not few came in n genuine sorrow of heart mourning the loss of the friend of their youth, | WHOul, LnOuBu uG H1Q TUT years UGGll absent from among them, yet had never been forgotten.
 Miss Clara Huber sang, sweetly and tenderly the beautiful lines: "I know not now how soon twill be. When shall reach that vast unknown "T know not now I cannot see The entrance to the Heavenly Home Alas! alas! Tis better so. for time
 moves on with rapid pace But this I know when shall go that
 I shall see Him face to face:
 And as she sang many eyes were 'flled with tears and many hearts throbbed in response to the touching words
 According to his own request he was laid away in the beautiful cemetery near his boyhood home, and when those who had gathered about the casket there were turned away they carried with them, in memory the picture of a great mound of beautiful flowers marking the last resting place of the neighbor and friend of the days gone by.
 MT. Thompson celebrated his seven tieth birthday on January 2s. and was next day stricken with the Hines from which he died. He was well known in Louisville. He was superintendent of the Louisville and Portland canal for ten years before it went Into the con tro1 of the Government. about thirty years ago. After serving his connec- ton with the canal company he became purchasing agent and then travelling auditor for the Louisville and Nash vile rail road.
 He was later made local freight agent of the company at Montgomery which position he held until his retire. ment from active business life about eight years ago.
 Besides his wife who was Miss Emma Bullen, a member of the we'll known Bullen family of the city, he is survived by a cousin Mrs. Jack Semple, a niece. Mrs. J. A. Sn~der of Louisville and three nephews, Jacob T. Bullen of Montgomery Charles R. Bullen and Thomas B. Bullen of Louisville
 The position held by MT. Thompson with the canal and his wide Railroad experience gave him d large acquain- tance among business men of Louis vile"

Some three years ago number of prominent retail druggists - realizing that big change was to be made in the proprietary medicine business, that the public demanded to know what the in- gradients were of the preparations they were advertising, and that general reform was about to take place in pro- prietary medicine manufacturing and ad- vertising, formed cooperative conn., pany to meet the pubiic's demand. This company was called The United Drug Company, of which the undersigned is one of the thousand members.
 Our object was, first, to manufacture a line of prescriptions such as we had tried out in our stores and found to give the very best of results, and second, by owning our own cooperative manufac- turing company we would be able to know the exact formula of every prepar- ation we were selling, thus enabling us to give to the public the very best rem edies we could find at actual manufac- turing cost, plus single retail profit.
 This enabled The United Drug Com- pany to escape the heavy charges for advertising and other expenses such as have to be paid by proprietary remedies. What was most important, 1t insures safety and satisfaction to our customers, because we druggists know just what we are selling.
 A committee of experts was ap- pointed who spent a long time in testing the merits of more than two thousand formulas and prescriptions recommend
