After
La Grippe

Il had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. I was SO nervous that
| could not rest or sleep. When
dozed off I would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. DR.. Miles Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits.
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

It now appears that Mr.. R. A. P.
Cooley, of the Nashville bar, is sore
over his defeat by Mr.. R. G. Ais
brook, of Tarboro, for solicitor of
that district, and is considering the
matter of running independently for
congress against Hon. E. w. Pou, of
the fourth district. Mr.. Cooley
says that his defeat for the nomina-
ton of solicitor was brought about
by the bad faith shown by Wilson
and Franklin counties. He proposes
to get his revenge by running against
the candidate, who is also the regu-
lar Democratic nominee. He had
better let the independent running
alone. Since the above was put in
type Mr.. Cooley has issued his card
announcing his candidacy and the
Republicans of Nash county have in
dorsed him as their candidate.

passed off very quietly, the regular

how the vote was cast in the various

atives-is strong one. The county
Offices have filled their respective
officers for several terms and will be

In MemOrlum.

On August the fifth, just as the
sun was calmly rising above the no.
rizon of the bright Eastern skies
Mrs. Bette Simmons DeBrule was
taken from our midst.
She was a patient sufferer for
three years, but never gave up until
the previous seven weeks before her
death.
She leaves a bereaved husband,
five sons and two daughters to
mourn their great loss.
She was kind affectionate
mother, wife and friend to all. Her
dispositions was one of the most
sympathetic and noble of any earth
ly existence No one could sincere
ly speak i'll Of her in any respect.
She anticipated bright hopes for
the coming resurrection of which she
had hopes Of partaking. How Won
derful it must be to meet death with
such hopes! We should feel very
grateful to know that she was will
ing to depart from our midst, to
await the glorious resurrection morn,
and that she has faithfully treaded
lifes pathway in an honorable,
straightforward manner.
Kind friends, relatives and physi-
clans did all that could be done for
her recovery, but nothing seemed to
be of any benefit to her whatever.
until death came.
She seldom complained Of her in
tense suffering, but bore it patiently
until the end.
The floral offerings were elegant
and represented by many of her
friends and relatives as last tribute
of respect.
The funeral services were conduc-
ted by Rev. Henry Leggett in a
kind, pathetic manner.
She was quietly laid to rest in the
dear old family grave yard, only q
short distance from her homestead
With fearful eyes each one depar-
ted with hopes that in the resurrec-
ton morning we shall look once
again upon her dear face and see hel
dear face shining with celestial glory
not with death dew upon her brow
Jesus while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spoils that death has won
We would, at this solemn moment,
Calmly say, "Thy will be done.
Though to-day we are are filled with
mourning,
T. Grey still is on the throne;
With thy smiles of love returning,
We must sing, "Thy will be done. .
By thy hand the boon was given,
Thou has taken but thine own,
Lord of earth, and Lord of heaven,
Evermore, "Thy will be DONE"
Her Niece.

We have never been a great admi-
rer of Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long

On account of the prominence of her
family she sets a bad example by
smoking. But no true Southern
born girl is going to follow it.
