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 it's 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-
dation 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 it's curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Nobody But Father.

ANYWAY ~SS q ~s~s
Nobody knows the money it takes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the debt it makes
Nobody knows-but father.
Nobody's told that the boys need shoes
And the girls hats with feather;
Nobody else old colthes must chose
Nobody-only father.
Nobody hears that the coal and wood
And four's out together;
Nobody else must make them good
Nobody-only father.
Nobody's hand in the pocket goes
So often, wondering whether
There's any end to the wants of those
Dependent-only father.
Nobody thinks where the money will
come
To pay the bills that gather;
Nobody feels 80 blue and glum-
Nobody-only father.
Nobody tries 80 hard to lay
Up something for bad weather.
And runs behind, do what he may
Nobody-only father.
Nobody comes from the worlds cruel
storm
To meet dear ones who gather
Around with loving welcome warm
Nobody does-but father.
Nobody knows of the home life pure.
Watched over by mother,
Where rest and bliss are all secure,
Nobody can-hut father.

Obituary.

Minnie Rebecca, daughter of Ed.
ward and Mary Matthias, and wife of
Alvin R. Roof, Jr., died Sept. 6, 1908,
aged 80 years, months and 16 days.
She was baptised in infancy and in
early life was confirmed a member of
Zion's E. L. Church in whose fellow
ship she remained until death. She
leaves husband, father, mother, four
brothers, three sisters, and a host of
friends to mourn her untimely depar-
ture, but their loss, we trust, is her
eternal gain.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery of st. David's E. L. Church,
