Obituary..

Mrs. Anna Hazelton, whose death
occurred Saturday morning at 200
o'clock. at her home near Mooar. Iowaz
was born near Caledon, Tyrone coun.
ty, Ireland, October 20, 1881.
! She came to America with her pa
rents, James and Martha McCleary,
at the age of two and one-half years.
and resided in Sharon, Penn. until
April II. 1S4S, when she was united in
marriage to Thos. Hazelton, Jr., at
that place.
Mrs. Hazelton came to Lee county
February II, 1870, and has resided
here continuously since that time.
From family of six children only
three survive the mother, Mrs. w. e.
Hall of Sharon, Pa, and Thomas p.
/ and James NJ. Hazelton.
Two sisters and one brother also
survive, Mrs. Rhoda Williams of Keo.
kuk, Iowa, Mrs. w. E. Scott, Pomona,
Gala, and T. H. McCleary of Cen
| tralia, Washington.
Mrs. Hazelton was united with the
Christian church at fifteen years of
age.
For the past forty years she has
been confirmed invalid, scarcely
leaving her bed, except for a few
moments time, and during those years
of suffering her life though crowned
with sorrow, was an exemr airy one.
She seemed the embodiment of cheer
fulness and ever in the midst of her
affliction, found the courage to rise
above those trials, to see tie bright
side and smile through her tears.
A faithful consistent christian, she
loved to impart sympathy and cheer
rather than receive it but while never
Responding over her illness, yet she
felt that after the many weary years
of waiting, that death came to her as
a welcome guest.
Since the death of her husband and
daughters some years ago. Mrs. HaZ-
elton has been left almost solely in
the care of her sons, Thomas and
James, at home. and perhaps only the
mother knew and realized how great
was their devotion to her.
! The funeral services were conduct
ed from the home Monday morning at
10 O'Clock by Rev. Macarthur of Hamil-
ton
The pallbearers were James Will
/ liams, George Webb. John Lawhead
Vincent Phillips. Arthur Wooster and

HERE'S THE SECRET. FREE.

Make up your mind after reading
this that you will let the next meal
hold no terrors for you.
You can ENJOY it. You can digest it.
All that is needed is to give nature
the juices she lacks, to give the stom.
ach a chance to remove the terrible
irritating acids, alkalies and gases
which turn food and nourishment into
gas and decomposition.
When system is run down and de-
pleted 1t needs building up Ashes

tive fluids will not take proper juices
from food no matter how good the
food is.
Is this common sen.e? Men spend
years and even life experimenting on
the human system, what it lacks in
disease and what it needs in perfec-
tion. This knowledge is known to
every physician or should be. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are compressed nat
ural vegetable and fruit essences
which when mixed with the saliva of
the mouth go into the stomach capable
of digesting full meal and they digest
it to the uttermost shred Then such
a meal does man good and It gives

troubles. Forty thousands physicians
use these tablets and charge you for
writing a testimonial of their merit
which they call prescription. Any
