THE LATE W. H. HICKS

In taking stock OF our losses during
the past year. nothing weighs upon us so
heavily as the loss OF our loved ones.
And in making our plans for the new
wear, no void is So great as that lett by u
departed friend.
To many this iestal season, and this
New Year, brings back airesh the seIse
Of loss aud desOlatiOn, because oil some
one gone out Of the home aud lille. Prob
ably To none does this sense come more
than 10 heiriends aud iamiiy
of the late W. Ii. Hicks.
Mr. Hicks was born in SpOtsylyania
county. Va, on March 18th. 1870, and
was brought up on his fathers farm in
his native county. He moved to Fred
ericksburg in 1890 aud went into
business with his father, and so continued
to the close Of his life.
On Nov. ~, 1894, he married Miss
Willie Rhoades, who with his mother,
sister and two brothers survives him.
In his early youth be united with the
Methodist church and continued IN that
faith until his death. He was. a valued
member OF the church in this city and
was. at the time OF his death, President
of the Missionary Society. He was
honest and uprightin his business, sincere
in his friendships, devoted to hls church.
he endured long and painful illness
with unfailing patience and uncompain-
ing fortitude. And his end was Ieace.
His death occurred August %, OF the
wear lust closed, 1906, and the high re-
gard in which be was held was attested
by the many friends whopaid their last
tribute, and accompanied him to his last
resting place.

NEGRO TROOPS AGAIN
Their Dismissal Subject of COnten-
ton in the Senate.
ANOTHER RESOLUTION OFFERED
Foraker Opposed Allowing Military
Committee 70 Decide Whether Presi-
dent Had Authority to Discharge


dent Had Authority to Discharge
Them.
Washington. Jan. 8. - President
Rooseyelts dismissal Of the negro
troops was again the subject of con-
tenton in the senate. and indications
point to protracted debate before any
OF the pending resolutions on the sub
ject are voted on.
Senator Lodge developed a new
phase OF the question by presenting a
resolution providing for a iyestigation
OF the "anray" az Brownsville. and by
silence conceding the authority of the
president 10 take the action he did.
This resolution was supported by Mr..
Lodge in an address. and opposed by
Mr.. Foraker.
The following IS the resolution pre-
pared by Senator Knox and intro
duced by Senator Lodge:
Resolved That the committee On
military affairs be. and hereby is, au-
thorized TO make inquiry and take tes-
timony in regard to the affray at
Brownsville. Tex. on the night of Au-
gust l3. 1906. and that it be, and here
by is, authorized to report thereon, by
bill or otherwise"
At the conclusion Of the debate 1t
was agreed by senate leaders that
settlement Of the controversy between
Senators Foraker and Lodge was not
in sight Prior to the speech by Mr..
Lodge it had been the intention o.
Mr. Foraker TO offer a substitute for
his own resolution. and in this substi-
tute ask the.committee on military af-
fair to conduct an investigation into
all OF the matters pertaining to the af-
fray at Brownsville. Tex. The term
"all of the matters" it is said, would
have permitted an inquiry into the
constitutional questions, although that
would have been a question for the
decision OF the committee. Senator'S
who sought to end the controversy
between Mr.. Foraker and supporters
OF the presidents action assumed that
the military affairs committee would
have considered that the constitutional
and legal questions involved were for
the deliberations of the judiciary COM
mittee.
Mr.. Foraker said that he cared little
for the phraseology, but he did object
to Mr.. Lodges Interpretation of the
substitute prepared by Mr. Knox and
offered by the Massachusetts, senator.
This caused him to oppose the Lodge
substitute. but it is expected he will
offer a substitute Of his own.

there is also work for each citlz II away

this latter can be- no more neglected than
the former without disastrous results to

We cannot live unto ourselves nor

Are You Tired, Nervous
and Sleepless?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are US
ually due 10 the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nonrishing blood;
they are stdrUed nerves. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly uOurished aud all the organs Of
the body are run as smoothly as machin-
cry which runs In oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are
toned up and inyigorated, and you are
good for a whole lot OF physical or mental
work. Best OF all, the strength and in
crease I'm vitality and health are LASTING.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming sale
for a short time, Is that they are largely
composed OF alcohol holding the drugs In
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and In the long run
greatly injures the system. One may feel
exhllarated and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DIR. PieFce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
