FRIEND TO BE LOVED.

BY inherent nature Mrs. Patterson
was sincere and loyal in her attach
ments, and those who came under the
spell of her influence felt that she was
friend to be loved and to be trusted.
She incorporated within her affections
a tender and sympathetic regard for
those who were her husbands friends,
and sure entrance ITO her confidence
was gained by all such. During the
long and troublous gubernatorial cam
paign, which ended in May with the
nomination of Mr.. Patterson, her belief
in him never wavered, and she had a
faith in the success of his cause that
could have moved mountains. Often
the strain on her nervous energies was
taxed almost to the breaking point, but
she took frmer grip on herself, and
maintained self-reiant frame of mind
that treasured Mr.. Patterson and gave
him strength to keep up the fight until
victory was his. Few know that forti-
tude and real Spartan courage she dis
played in this trying ordeal, and none
ever saw her when she was not equal to
any emergency of disappointment or
Joy. To those who were constant in
their support Of her husband her graft
tude knew no bounds, and when she
expressed it she yelled her words in
such maidenly modest manner that
the expression of them was greatly en-
HANGED.
A lovely and lovable woman has gone
to claim rich reward. Her passing is
another example of the oft-quoted
phrase that "death loves a shining
mark" Manga dart shall be cast be.
fore he casts down rarer or more
beautiful woman, woman>whose char
aeter was like that of Samuel, who in
his old age could call on any to come
forward and testify against his worth,
and none came.
Gen. Patterson remained constantly
by the bedside of his wife from the first
moment of her critical illness till the
end came. His devotion to her was
such as might be expected of one who
appreciated such a wife to her true
value. Commercial Appeal, Aug. z.

attack Of rheumatism and could not
seem to get over it. All sorts of medi-
cines failed to do me any good and my
trouble kept getting worse. My feet
were SO swollen that could not wear
shoes and l had to 60 on crutches.
The pain was terrible.
zone day was setting the type Of
an article for the paper telling what
DR. Williams Pink Pills had done for a
man afflicted as l was and was so i'm
pressed with it that l determined to
give the medicine trial. For a year
my rheumatism had been growing
worse, but after taking DR. Williams
Pink Pills l began to improve. The
pain and swelling all disappeared and
can truthfully say that haven t felt
better in the past 20 years than 1 do
right now. l could name, off hand, a

and who bave received good results
from them"
DR. Williams Pink Pills cure rheu-
matlSm because they make rich, red
blood and no man or woman can have
healthy blood and rheumatism at the
same time. Rheumatism is a disease
of the blood and to cure it you must
treat it in the blood. Every part and
every tissue of the body is dependent
on the blood for health. DR. Williams
Pink Pills actually make new blood.
That Is why they have cured so many
cases OF aDAmia neura lola Sciatica

ordinary treatment.

Booker Washington speaks a
word of timely warning and adj
vice to the negro when he declares
that lynchers and the persons who
cause lynchings are the worst enc
mics of the race. After asserting
that the Southland is the best
place for the negro to live, the
Tnskegee educator says that if it
we're not for black criminals, the
negro would have now higher
standing than he has, and better
opportunities for advancement.
Lynchers are blamed, but it is
pointed out that there would be
no lynchers if they were not pro-
yoked by crime.
