Obituary.

Edna Lewis, eldest child of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Lewis, died at
her home on Bear Branch, Febru-
ary IS, 1906, aged 10 years and 4
days. She was sweet and loving
child and will be greatly missed
by all who knew her. She leaves
father, mother, three sisters, a
brother and many friends to mourn
her loss. Her remains were laid
to rest in the Lewis cemetery yard,
one mile below Annapolis. 1t is
hard to give up the ones that are
SO dear to us, but may her loved
ones live ever faithful to Him,
that doeth all things we'll, and
meet her in the skies above.
Weep not for dear Edna, for God
called her above, where all is
peace and love. A FRIEND.

There is one subject in which

is, what is the quickest way of
getting rid of a troublesome cold?
Is it best to take some new remedy

One would think the Laxative
idea in a cough syrup. should have
been advanced long before it was.
1t seems the only rational remedy
for Coughs and Colds would be to
move the bowels and clean the

does this. 1t is the Original Lax
