Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds
is now at hand and too much care
cannot be used to protect the chill
dren. A child is much more like
~ to contract diphtheria or scarlet
fever when he has cold. The
quicker you cure his cold the less
the risk. Chamberlain's cough
remedy is the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those who have
tried it are willing to use any
other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, OF
Ripley. w. Va, says: II have
never used anything other than
chamberlain cough remedy for
nv children and it has alawys CIV
en- good satisfaction This rem
edy contains NO opium or other
narcotic and may be given as con-
fidentlv to child as to an adult.

Spending Money at Home.

There is an old saying that
every man is prophet, save in
his own country" This axiom
applies equally a. well to your own
home town, that whatever is pro-
.duced in another locality is sup
posed by some people TO be super
Tor TO what can be produced or OBJ
tained at your own doors.
No town can always make the
desired and Away to be hoped for
progress by sending off for what
you may require to neighboring
towns and cities. This method of
supplying your needs must of ne
cesSity retard and restrict the bus
lness advancement of a town.
There should be entertained and
maintained a pride and desire to
build up and develop your home
town. and this can only be accom-
plished by endeavoring to secure
whatever YOU may need at home.
BY this means trade will be stimu-
lated and a larger demand will be
created for merchandise of every
description.

Death Of EStimable Young COlOred Man

On last Saturday night. Mar
shall Lightfoot. son of William
Lightfoot, aged 20 years, died at
his fathers home in Berryville
after an illness of some months.
Marshall was one of the most
popular young men of his race in
the town and had the confidence of
every one who knew him, white
and black alike. The large num-
Der of his friends of the colored
people at his funeral on Sunday
evening attested the respect in
which he was held by them and
the COURIER is asked to publish
this notice as an evidence of the
kindly feeling of the white people
for him. Strict integrity, perfect
honesty, and thorough truthful
ness were his characteristics and
thus he possessed the confidence
of his employers. AS an illustra-
tion of his high character the fol
lowing fact is proof. He had
promised his mother that he would
never use intoXicants. This prom
ise he kept faithfully and so strict
ly that he would not even eat any
thing seasoned with wine. brandy
or any liquor. Such high sense
of honor is rare even among the
most cultured, and in one with SC
few advantages it rises almost t.
the sublime. This example should
be an inspiration to his race. Wei
would it be for the country if al
! were like him. Many a Seriou,
problem would then be solved. TX
bear this testimony to his character

Hospital Fund to be Raised.

The meeting of the ladies' which
was held at the Presbyterian Manse
last Thursday, as foretold in the
COURIER, resulted in immediate
steps being taken. looking to the
establishment of permanent fund
for aiding those who are unable to
pay for hospital treatment.
1t was decided to hold a bazar
and supper in Winston Hall on
Thursday. August 13, for
the purpose of raising funds, and
other means will be devised at fu-
ture meetings.
The committee Of ladies' held an
other meeting at the home of Miss
Dean Pulliam at 7.30 last night, at
which time the subject Of WAYS
and means was gone into thor
oughly, with the result that there
will be no let-up in the movement
from this time on.
\ meeting of ministers will be
held this "wednesday afternoon
at + O'Clock at the Baptist Parson-
age, when it Is expected that the
ministers of the various churches
viii adopt some plan of concerted
action to raise funds for the hos
pital cause.
y mass meeting OF citizens will
probably be called for an early
date, 10 meet at the Courthouse
for the purpose of having the en-
tire matter of the hospital fund and
its distribution presented To the
citizens by leading laymen.
1t is intended that the fund to
be raised for the hospital shall be
placed IN the hands of committee
for disbursement in cases where
patients are financially unable TO
pay their own bills at the hospital.
but where medical and surgical
treatment may mean the saving of
life and health to deserving ones.
1t Is certainly = most worthy
movement. and should succeed be-
yond even the hopes Of its most
sanguine supporters.
