makes it SO successful in curing

VINOL is a constitutional rem

Smith officiating. Mr.. Pepper was
maR of strong Christian character
and in the experience of many years
the writer hereof can safely say that
he has never met one who seemed to
more nearly walk hand in hand with
God. Conscience guided every act He
was a model of mental industry in his
~ to al and i'm hiC
people. He was not only a model
Christian, but he was an honorable
man in the highest sense that term
implies. To man, woman or child,
saint or sinner he always extended
cordial greeting that lent ray OF
light to brighten their pathway in the
journey of life lie commanded the
respect OF all as the attendance at his
funeral fully verified. Resting so
peacefully in his casket, in the
church where for many years he
labored In his desire to help others,
indeed seemed a fitting finish of
well spent life. The brothers of the
fraternal degree, members of Lebanon
lodge, F. & A. NJ. were present to es-
cort the remains to the grave and

years, afterward retiring from the
ministry but still continuing his resi-
dence here and later was the post
master for four years While here he
also served as superintendent OF
schools. During the latter part of his
stay here he devoted his time almost
exclusively to gardening at which he
was very successful. About six
years ago he sold his place here and
he and his wife went to live with their
son, DR.. John Pepper of Madison,
