The readers Of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
daticn of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

Obituary.

Marcie Lenolia Keisler, nee Shealy,
was born September 26, 1886, and died
August 18th, 1908, making her short
sojourn on earth 81 years, 10 months
and 21 days.
She was given to God in infancy by
the holy writ of baptism and at an
early age she connected herself with
Nazareth E. L. church, where she re-
mained until after her marriage when
she was transferred to St. Matthews
E. L. church and remained faithful
until death.
She was married to W. H. Keisler
November 12, 1905. Her married life
was only 2 years, 9 months and 5 days.
She leaves two small children, the ell
der son one year and ten months
old and the younger a daughter II
weeks old; a devoted husband, kind
mother, two brothers and three sis
yers, besides host of other relatives
and friends.
Her remains were laid to rest in ST.
Matthews cemetery the following
day in the presence of large con-
course of sorrowing friends, the Rev.
A. R. Taylor. Peace to her ashes
and rest to her soul!
Sleep on, sweet Marcie,
And take thy rest;
God called you home,
He thought it best.
A loved one from me has gone,
A voice I loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in my home,
Which never can be reflled.
Like a flower you passed away,
DESTROYED in all your bloom;
You left this world and all your friends,
To moulder in the tomb.
You have gone from me forever,
Longer here you could not stsy;
You have reached a fairer region,
Far away, far away.
Go to thy rest, fair Marcie!
Go to thy dreamless bed!
While yet so gentle, undefiled,
With blessings on thy head.
God, in His wisdom, has recalled,
The boon His love had given;
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
The golden gates were opened wide,
A gentle voice said come;
And angels from the other SIDE,
Welcomed my loved one home.
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory shall be cherished,
Till 1 see your heavenly face.
Heaven now retains my treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams long TO linger,
Where my dear wife sleeps.
Again I hope to meet you,
When the day of life is fed;
And in heaven with joy to greet you,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
W. H. KEISLER.

Republicans Against Taft.

The Mansfield News adds to the
gayety of the situation by taking
crack at the heir-apparent in the
following:
cit is beginning to dawn upon
more than one Republican that the
gag and force methods employed
ostensibly for the sole benefit of
the Taft boom by some of the
chief bosses were in reality adopt
ed for the puypose of more firmly
entrenching the pernicious system.
"Come to think it over careful
ly, can any Republican, anywhere,
recall anything tending to con-
vince him that he had any part or
share, directly or indirectly, in
connection with the selection of
delegates to the state convention,
or that he was in any manner rep
resented or his wishes consulted
as TO what the convention should
do?
''Let it be recorded upon the
tablets of political history that the
active opposition of the union la
Dor vote to Taft, the industrial
distrust of the tariff, the opposi- :
tlon of the soldier vote and the
colored vote, to all of which he
added the distrust of the religious
people of Ohio to whom he and his
family history are best known,
will certainly lose Taft the cleo
toral vote of Ohio by $4,000 and
with 1t the states of the middle
west. All the money put into the
political managers and subsi-
died press cannot elect him. 1t

A Big Saving BY State
Printer Johnston.

The annual report of J. w.
Johnson, supervisor of public
printing covering the year ending
November Is, 1907, was filed with
the governor Saturday. The dis
bursements for printing for the
year aggregated $40, 067,97, and
those for ruling and binding $27, :
73G 81. The printing is done by
private concerns under contracts
secured through competitive bid
ding, while the ruling and binding
are done at the state bindery. The
former fund, therefore, affords no
opportunity for economizing, the
duty of the supervisor being con-
fined to the auditing of the bills,
seeing that they conform to the
rates specified in the bids, What
reforms have been accomplished in
the bindery are made clear in the
report by a comparison with for
mer years. The last year of Mark
Slater, Johnson's predecessor in
Office, showed IA total of expendi-
lures for the state bindery of $44,
1887, while the average for five
years was Sll 063 A., The report
says there seems to be no possible
excuse for the expenditures to ex
ceed much, if any, 100000 per
anDum' The saving effected by
johnson in this comparatively
small state institution amounts To
nearly 40 per cent and one natu-
rally wonders where the money
went In former years. One thing
is certain, the buying of supplies
through competitive bidding, a
custom adopted by Johnson, with
the admirable checking system in.
stalled by him at the state bindery,
absolutely prohibit the purchase
of blue sky and imaginary sup
plies. No merchandise is paid for
that is not received. 1t is need
less to add that Mr.. johnson is a
Pattison appointee and Demo
crat.
