TRIBUTE TO MRS. EpMONDs.

Mrs. Sallie Ann Edmonds, daughter
of Archie Stott and Sarah Pollard, was
born near White Stone, in Lancaster
county. April 18th, 1874. At the early
age of seventeen years she joined the
Methodist church, of which she contin-
ued to be during life an exemplary mem
Der. She was sincerely religious with
out ostentation, and peaceable and
charitable in her disposition. She was
free from guile, and she united with
quietness of manner an inhexible loyal
ty to Christ. The graces of the Holy
spirit, that adorned her active, indus
trious life, never shone more splendidly
than in her closing hours. She was
married December Is, 1873, to Dr.
Henry j. Edmonds, to whom she was
model wife as long as he lived. AT
ter his death, her only child, Mr.. B. B..
Edmonds, became the inspiration and
JOY of her endeavors. Her maternal
devotion was unsurpassed; her son was
ever present in all her thoughts, sac
rifices and labors. Bright and cheer
full, kind and harmless, she had many
friends and no enemy. Her useful and
beautiful life came to close February
1, 1908, and her funeral obsequies were
conducted the following day at Kilmar.
mock meeting house. The tender anC
just tribute paid her memory by Rev
Porter Hardy was amply endorsed
by. the fearful interest of the many
friends that followed her to the grave

On the 23rd of January her remains,
lovely even in death, were laid to rest
in the cemetery of Liberty M. p. church
amid large concourSe of sorrow rela-
tives and friends. 1t would have been
difficult indeed for death to have found
fairer mark. For three years, with
strong will but feeble constitution, she
battled against that most dreaded of all
diseases, 1.-The Great White Plague"
Amid her sufferings she was never
heard to complain, but looked to One
whose ways we are not given insight
to, but who "doeth all things we'll
She remarked that but for her hope of
heaven she would despair.
God knew all about it. yet took her
Away from the oncoming years;
God knew all abe ut it, how noble,
How gentle she was ADD how brave
How bright was her possible future,
Yet put her to sleep i'm the grave.
God knew all about those who love her,
How bitter the trial must be,
But right through all. God is loving,
And knows so much better than we.
She was converted under the minis
try of Rev. Mr.. Brown and joined
Bethany M. E. church of which she
was consistent member up to the time
of her death. Her favorite hymn was,
''How Firm a Foundation, and she
would never sit at the piano without
playing and singing it. She leaves
devoted mother, and father, brother,
two sisters and an aged grand
mother, together with numbers of rela-
tives and friends to mourn their loss.
Sleep, dear loved one sleep,
With that calm look on thy brow,
For never more shall pain Cypress
Or sorrow grieve thee now.
Slecn dear loved one. sleep.
Thy lips just touched with smile.
AS though to comfort our burdened hearts;
For twill be but a little while.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is infiamed
you havea rumhling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send FOR
