IN MENIORIUM.
A Tribute to the Memory of the Late
Mrs. j. III. Hendry.

A Tribute to the Memory of the Late
Mrs. j. III. Hendry.
Near Christmas, when all the
world was happy and glad, the
death angel entered the home of
DR.. Hendry, in Randolph county,
and took from him the loved
companion of his life, who had
frightened and cheered his home for
many years, and left his home all
desolate and dark. Three dear lit
tie children were left by her--little
ones who will never know what a
mothers love is.
Mrs. Hendry had a sweet DISPOSE
ton, was affectionate and loyal to
her friends, and with that mate re-
fnement and kindly consideration
for all she made many friends and
was always very popular.
Medical skill was exhausted in
her behalf, but her life work was
ended A loving Lord said, "It is
enough; come up higher" and her
sweet spirit took it's flight to the
Home above prepared by the Father.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. j. w. Martin in a
tender and loving manner. A large
Concourse of friends were present to
pay tribute to her memory and to
follow her remains to the cemetery,
where they were laid away to await
the resurrection morn. She was
buried as she had lived, among sun
shine and flowers. Surely the dear
Father knoweth best in taking this
dear wife and mother from her home
and loved ones, and while it makes
their hearts ache to give her up, still
they must trust God. May He give
them grace to follow the reckoning
hands to the world above, where
there will be no more parting, nor
sorrow nor death. A FRIEND.

Will the Temperance People Let
the Enemy Recapture the State

esty of law and order looking the
liquor power straight in the face and
saying: you shall not wrest from
us our Inheritance.
The saddest problem brought
about by the change is the condition
of enebriates. They have the pro-
found sympathy of all whose hearts
have not turned to stone, but shall
the state be turned into dram shop
to supply these unfortunates when
such a course would only raise up
another army of drunkards? Let
those who are bound by the awful
chains have the rendered considera-
ton (Who are we to Scorn such as
'have but stumbled in the path we
have in weakness trOd"), but in
the name of all that is pure and holy
save the children from the horrible
embrace of the octopus that forever
reaches out to drag them down.
Because a merciful Heaven has
saved our homes from "the trail of
the serpent" is no reason that we
should draw our Pharisaical robes
about us and 'thank God we are not
as other men" as we shrug our
shoulders impatiently and declare
that it is none of our business. We
are busy with our own affairs.
Very pretty in theory, perhaps, but
as far from the teachings of the
Nazarine as the east is from the west.
The sinless plying Christ by precept
and example said: Bear We one
another's burdens. The south is
wide awake on this matter, and the
temperance forces are moving grad
ually forward, but one soldier sleep
ing on duty in Terrell county may
hinder the whole army. One of the
leading dailies truly says: 1.-The
most tremendous movement of the
age is the fight against the liquor
business, and it is confined to no
section of this great country"
By the memory of that brave lit
tie band of pioneers who wrought
with heart and brain to transmit to
us our American civilization let us de-
clare eternal allegiance to the white
flag that stands for God and home
and native land" and fight to the
last ditch the scum from foreign
countries that would ride in on
cask of beer or a barrel of whisky.
The south is Gods country" 1T is
our proud inheritance. Let us awake
to a full appreciation of our birth
right and hand it down to our chill
dren's children what it has ever been
-"the garden spot of the world"
CONSERVATIVE.

HOW THE WAVE ACTS.

The progress of the prohibition
wave is thus graphically described
by Mr.. Irwin S. Cobb:
Don't you know that a great
wave of temperance reform is sweep
ing the once Sunny Southland? Yes
sir, Larry, great wave OF prohfb1-
ton has reared itself to the majestic
heights of the everlasting pyramids
and is now moving onward and up
ward across the soil of dear old Dixie
with it's foam crested breakers seek
ing, like the fretful porcupine, for
whom they may devour, and its
mighty talons temper the wind to
the shorn lamb as they penetrate i'm
movably into the verdant soil of the
ever shifting sea of public opinion,
while it's purpose, towering aloft like
the redwoods of the Sierra Slopes,
is gathering force even as does the
irresistible cyclone of the western
prairie, which stands forth, firm and
faithful, a veritable beacon of light
throwing the handwriting on the wall
across the torrid sands of the politi-
cal Sahara and calling aloud in the
clarion voice of the silent prompt
ings of an awakened conscience to
the storm tossed marines, laboring
through the morasses of despair
which adorn even the sunniest or
human landscapes that the real Balm
of Gilead may be had at the above
address"

PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE.
Druggists Will Battle With Stomach
Troubles in Dawson.

Troubles in Dawson.
The increase of stomach troubles
in Dawson has led the Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store to take
effective measures to combat the dis
ease. They have the local agency
for Mona stomach tablets, and in
order to induce people suffering with
weak stomach or indigestion to use
the remedy offer to supply it with
the distinct understanding that mon
ey will be refunded in every case
where it does not cure.
Mona is not a mere digestive,
but an absolute strengthened and
builder-up of the whole digestive
tract. If you suffer with headaches,
giddiness, palpitation, bad taste in
the mouth, nervousness, coated
tongue, distress after eating use Mi
o-na and see how quickly these
symptoms of a weak stomach will
disappear.
The remedy strengthens the mus
cular walls of the stomach and in
creases the flow of gastric juices so
that nourishment is extracted from
the food and the refuse is expelled
without the aid of purgative or laxa-
tive medicines.
Remember that the Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store give a
guarantee to refund the money IN
less it cures. They take all the risk,
and there is no danger Of your los
ing anything except indigestion when
you buy 50-cent box of Ni-o-na.

SHAKE 1T OFF.
Rid Yourself of Unnecessary
Burdens.

Don't bear unnecessary burdens.
Burdens of a bad back are unnec-
essary.
Get rid of them.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure bad
backs;
Cure lame, weak and aching
backs;
Cure every form of kidney ills.
. Lots of local endorsement to prove
this.
Mrs. Molly Mosley, residing at
1886 Broad street, Augusta, Ca,
says my back was very weak and
ached constantly. L could not lind
anything to do it any good, although
used remedies, wore plasters and
rubbed it with liniments. The dull
aching caused me to lose sleep at
night and I would rise in the morn
ing as tired as when I went to bed.
Inc secretions from the kidneys were
red and full of sediment, causing me
no end of suffering. The lack OF
rest was undermining my general
health. At this time I heard about
Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box,
which used according to directions.
NY backache was relieved the next
Jay and after taking two boxes OF
the remedy it entirely left me and
the kidney secretions cleared up and
became Latural and my general
health improved"

LAND OWNED BY ALIENS.

Foreigners Have Twenty-Five Mil
lion Acres in This Country.
Nearly 100000 acres of land of
the United States are owned by men
who owe allegiance to other coun-
tries. There are 2,72O,283 acres of
land in the state of Massachusetts,
so that the men living in other coun-
tries and owing allegiance to other
powers own land enough to make
about ten states like Massachusetts.
The largest amount of land owned
by any one corporation is the land
owned by the Holland company.
There is twice as much land owned
by aliens in the United States as
there is owned by Englishmen in

WERE DISGUSTING SCENES
prOPIE Tapped UP BEER FROM
STREET CUTTERS LIKE DOGS.
oklahoma City Emptied Two Thou
sand Barrels When Prohibition
Went Into Effect.

went INTO EneCC.
Twenty-three hundred barrels of
baer were poured into the streets and
sewers of oklahoma City by the
brewery there when the prohibition
law took effect. The beer lacked one
nrocess of manufacture. The attor-
nev-general ruled that to complete
the brew would be a violation of the
law. though complete beer could be
shipped out of the state if already
made There was nothing to do but
empty the great watts into the streets.
For two days the beer foamed
through the basement of the brewery
into its sewer drains, foamed up
through the man holes of the sewers
into the streets and was pumped in
to the cutters through two-inch fire
hose when the sewers were too full
10 hold more.
Hundreds of men and women
tbronged the streets for two days,
filing buckets, wash boilers-any-
thing that would hold liquid-with
the foaming drink. Men lay down
in the street and Tapped it from the
cutters like dogs, while others
dropped into sewer holes and drank
from the torrent of "studs" in which
they stood.
The police looked on and laughed
making no effort to prevent the
greatest free beer carnival the south
west had ever seen.
