OF rheumatism. They may relieve it in one
quarter, but it is sure to break out somewhere
else. The only true way to cure rheumatism
IS to drive it from the system, for as long as
the uric and rheumatic acid remains in the
blood one is never entirely free from the
trouble, This is where the value of Uric.O as
a permanent cure Tor rheumatism comes in.

Sudden Death of o. l. corse.

o. L. Corse for long time a respected
resident of this town, died last Thursday
evening after an illness of only a week.
He had been having a hard cold but was
able to be about the house and on Friday
night went to the barn to do the chores
as usual. After a short time, Mrs. Corse,
who was i'll, sent someone out to look
for him and it was found that he
had fallen in the stable. Neighbors were
called, Dr. Page was sent for, and every
thing possible was done, but he failed
rapidly until the end came.
Mr.. Corse was born in this town and
with the exception of a few years always
lived here. He was married twice, his
first wife being Calista Dean of this place.
They had two Children-Calista, wife of
Curtis Russell of this town, and a child
who died in infancy. Mr.. Corse's second
wife was Mrs. Sarah Foss Warren. One
daughter was born of this marriage-Let-
tie wife of Maurice Robinson of Urbana,
Ill
Mr. Corse was a kind, obliging neigh
Dor, an indulgent father and husband
and he will be missed about town as well
as in the home. For several years he
had suffered so severely from rheu-
matism that he had nearly lost the use
of his limbs.
The funeral was held at the home Sun
day afternoon, Rev. J. d. King officiating.
Burial was in the village cemetery. The
sympathy of the community is extended
to the family.

st. Martins influence over the wealth
er. 1t is the legitimate descendant OF

Elected to the see of Tours in 374
St. Martin converted his whole diocese
from paganism to Christianity He
died November II, 397, and, in accor-
kdance with old church custom, his
day is celebrated ON the anniversary
of his death.
