Death of Mrs. Mckinney.

4 Mrs. Mary Lewis Stubs, wife of G.
R. Mckinney, died at her home on Main
street in this city Monday morning, July
/ 70, at DO a. m. Mrs. Mckinney had
been i'll for several months. She was
taken to Nashville for surgical and hos
pital treatment, returning homea little
later some months ago. The skill OF
medical attention and the faithful, de-
voted care of those who watched SC
patiently at her bedside failed to re-
store her health.
Mrs. Mckinney was born in Baldwin,
Miss, in 1860, and was married to r.
e. Mckinney at Purdy, Tenn, in Feb
ruary, 1881. Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinney
resided at Purdy, then at Henderson,
afterwards at Jackson, returning again
to Henderson, and located in Union
City four years ago. Two daughters
and a little son constitute the immedi-
ate family: Mrs. Vera, wife of James
Ownby, Miss Jennie May and little
Robert, Jr.
Mrs. Mckinney was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos B. Stubs, of Bald
wyn. Twelve years ago her parents
paid Mrs Mckinney visit at Hender
son, and during that visit they were
overtaken with illness which resulted in
death, and the remains lay buried at
Henderson.
Mrs. Mckinney was a sister Of I. f.
Stubs, of the Hardy Grain Co., this
city. A sister, Miss Sallie Stubs, re-
sided with Mrs. Mckinney at her home
also in Union City.
Mrs. Mckinney was member Of the
First Christian Church of this city and
had been protested Christian since girl
hood. She was reared under the sun
shine, the beauty and chivalry of the Old |
South, and Inherited its traditions. Her
home was Southern in its type and hos
pitality. Goodness of heart, beauty of
character and charm of intellect-with
all these she had been literally endowed.
Life had blessed Mrs. Mckinney and
graced her home with choicest blessings.
It was indeed bereavement to the de-
voted ones whose loss is irreparable. 1t
is said that among those who watched
vt the bedside her daughter, Miss Jen-
lie May, was constant, patient, devoted
and faithful day and night all through
he continued illness and suffering. 1t
vas remarkable example of devotion.
Services were held at the residence on
East Main street Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Castleberry. The
address was delivered with much feel
ng, and among the closing remarks
we're the lines

1t is an undisputable fact that great
many people who are considered poor,
or only in moderate circumstances, are
really rich when they count the things
in their daily life that give them pleas
ure. Surely it is not the rich in money
and property who always possess the
priceless treasure of happiness. It is
the men or women who are continually
doing something to make other people
comfortable and happy who are willing
to give of their own time and substance
to do so, who are the rich.
Now count up the things you have
done yesterday, last week, and during
the months that have gone for the help
ing of somebody up and along and see
whether you are rich or poor If you
begin now and walk steadily and faith
fully, you will soon become a millionaire
in possessions of countless blessings; in
peace of mind and joy of heart, more to
be desired than silver and gold.

G. w. FISHER, DRUGGIST, OFFERS TO
CURE CATARRH--THE MEDICINE
CosTs NOTHING If He FAIL.
When medicine effects cure in oS 70
of cases, and when we offer that medi-
cine on our own personal guarantee that
it will cost the user nothing if it does
not cure Catarrh, it is only reasonable
that people should believe us, or at least
put our claim to practical test when we
take all the risk. These are facts which
we want the people Of DeLand to sub.
stantiate. We want them to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone, medicine prepared from a
prescription ola physician whosespecial-
ty was Catarrh, and who has a record of
thirty years Of cures to his credit.
We sell more bottles and receive more
good reports about Rexall Mucu-Tone
than we do Of all other catarrh remedies
sold in Our store, and if more people only
knew what a thoroughly dependable
remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it would
be the only catarrh medicine we would
have any demand for
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed
and carried by the blood until it thor
oughly disinfects and cleanses the entire
mucous membranous tract, destroys and
removes the parasites which injure and
destroy the membranous tissues, soothes
and heals the irritation and soreness,
stops the mucous discharge, and builds
up strong, healthy tissue, relieves the
blood and system of diseased matter,
the muco-cells, aids digestion
and improves nutrition until the whole
body vibrat ties with healthy activity. In
a comparatively short time there is
most noticeable gain in weight, strength,
good color and feeling of buoyancy.
4 We urge you to try Muco-Tone, begin
hing treatment today. At any time

so bad that I could not do my

a full breath without fainting or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me;
then I commenced taking the

forget that night. I slept better
than had before in months. I
kept right on getting better, un-
til I was perfectly WE'LL"

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidly. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
