GAVE UP
 ALL HOPE
After Four Long Years of Suffer. ing, Mrs. Dean of Benbrook Was Finally Relieved by
 Cardui.

Benbrook, Tex.-'1 feel like it is my duty to advise other women to take Cardu, the Woman's tonic" writes Mrs. i L. C. Dean, of K. F. D. No. 6, Benbrook, 1 Tex.
 "I suffered for four (4) long years with female complaints. Such a miserable person as l wasl had three doctors, but they did me no good, and l gave up all hope of being relieved.
 "At last, my doctors advised me to take Cardui, the woman'S tonic. ] took four bottles and now am well. Cardui saved my life and cannot say enough for it. lhave prescribed it with great success for young girls and women with various forms of female complaint.
 "Cardui is a real boon 10 suffering women. am thankful for the good it has done me and know it will cure others"
 This remarkable letter from lady who has actually tried Cardui, ought surely to convince you of it's genuine merit and in- duce you to give it trial for your troubles.
 Purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, non- intoxicating and free from all dele Ierious ingredients, Cardui is the ideal remedy for all weak, suffering women, young or old.
 You are urged to get bottle at the drug store and commence its use today.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Benz. H Edwards was born near Balti-
more, Maryland, May 9th, 1926, and died
at his home about two miles out from
Florence, April 24th I9Io,-thus making
him near IS years of age. He came to
Mississippi at the age Of ten years, and
lived here till his death.
He was married to Miss Elizabeth Ken
dali, in 1S49. Of this union were born 10
children, five of whom are living, and
five dying in infancy. His eldest daughter
died in 1895.
He had been a member of the Meth
odist church for many years. The bal
ance of his children survive him together
with his sainted wife who is only waiting
for the summons from her Master to
"Come up higher"
"Uncle' Ben was veteran of two wars
the Mexican and the Civil war. He was
with Jeff Davis at Buena Vista, and was
honorably discharged when the war ended.
He is probably the last of the sold Guard
of the Mexican veterans in Rankin county.
AS stated above, he was also in the
Confederate army, serving in the 46th Mis-
sissippi regiment
He might truthfully be csalled one of
the pioneers of Mississippi. He knew
Jackson when there was not brick house
in the village-as Jackson was then. He
helped burn the lime and the brick that
were used in the construction Of the old
capitol.
He was loved and respected by his
neighbors, and large concourse gathered
together in the cemetery at Florence to pay
the last tribute to his memory. His pas

necessary article for the table, or else,
there will be none. Just at this time
when the tops are young it is well to
examine them occasionally by simply walk
ing along the rows and glancing down
carefully. If the vines are in danger you
are apt to find, now and then, white
striped bug about as large as full grown
cow tick, and of a grayish color. This
bug is the mother of all the trouble.
Mash it completely. Then turn up few
of the leaves where you find her and
YOU will find a small bunch of sickly yellow
looking soft eggs. These, if left alone,
will soon hatch and produce the soft red
dish bugs that eat the tops up and you
lose the fruit of your labor. These must
be destroyed to save the crop. 1t the
looking for the female in time has been
neglected too long you will find In time
the nasty pests all over your potato tops.
Then you resort to hand picking and
MASKING, or use paris green in liquid or
dust form, sprinkling it over the plants.
We have seen whole patch utterly de-
stroyed from pure neglect; while across the
road we found a patch with not bug
any where in it. AS to the origin of the
bug, it is hard to say. But farmer
down in Simpson county called our at
tention to the idea that this bug can be
found largely on the little nettles found
in old fields, and he supposed they bred
and thrived there, and fly to the most
convenient Irish potato patches to subsist
and propagate. Some suppose they come
out of the ground near the potatoes. We
don't know about that. Any how, if you
wish potatoes out of your patch for your
table, destroy the pests if you are infested
with them.

DEATH OF b. H. EDWARDS.
"His youth was innocent; his ripe age
marked with some act Of goodness every
day;
And watched by eyes that loved him,
calm and sage,
Faded his late declining years away.
Cheerful he gave his being up, and went
To share the holy rest that waits life.
we'll spent"
The above lines apply beautifully to
the life lived by Uncle" Ben Edwards.
He was holy and totally unselfish and gave
his life more for the happiness of others
than for himself. He had lived IS years
beyond the time allotted to men by the
Psalmist and his whole life was marked
by Some kindness shown to somebody. He
was not really sick; but the cord of life
had wound off and the Master called
him to come up higher" and he just
folded his hands ard fell asleep in the
arms of Him who said: Come unto me,
all We that labor and are heavy laden and
| will give YOU rest"
