His father, Milton Wolford, was a
physician of large practice and in his
day was popular practicianer. He was
a half brother of Gen. Frank Wolford,

decided early in life to follow the prac-
tice of medicine, and hence prepared
himself while his father was living,
and began to practice with his father
some IS years ago.
He was endowed by nature with some
of the necessary characteristics for a
successful physician. He had love for
his profession from the beginning. He
had large sympathy for the sick and
tact to gain their confidence, and with
encouraging words and cheerful ex-
preston on his face, he was enable to
brighten the sick room, and leave the
patient in hopeful spirits.

him to answer the calls of the suffer.

full. He was twice married, his first
wife being a daughter of Mr.. Anderson

County, His second wife a daughter
of Mr.. Steve Conover whose death oc-
Cured only few weeks since.

multitude of friends to mourn their
loss. The funeral services were held at
Liberty Church, and the large con-
course of people who attended testify
TO the high esteem in which he was held
in the community and surrounding
country. The funeral services were
conducted by F. j. Barger, C. M. Deem
er, Thomas Hadley, Lawrence Williams
and Sam Stapp. F. j. Barger preach

befriended, remember the widow and
the fatherless in their time of trouble

Is 1t A Dry waves

We are assured by the saloon advocates
that the sentiment against the whiskey
business is only a wave, and even now
receding.
Does statistics carry out their claims?
''In 1870, three and one-half millions
in the United States, or 9 per cent OF the
population were living in "dry" territory.
In 1880 seven millions, or IA per cent
were in "dry" territory.
Inl1S90 eleven millions, or Is per cent
were under "dry' rule.
In 1900 eighteen millions, or 25 per cent
were in the ''dry" column.
At the present time an officer OF the
Anti-Saloon League has estimated that
over forty millions Of the population OF
the United States, or about 80 per cent
live in the "dry" territory. With these
figures before us we fail to see the reced-
ing Itlooks to us very much like an in
undation will follow.
May its force never wane, or its impet-
us never be checked till the saloon with
its corresponding evils, ceases to exist.

Sinking Spells
Every Few Days

"At the time l began taking
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy I was
having sinking spells every few
days. My hands and feet would
get cold; I could scarcely
breathe, and could feel myself
gradually sinking away until l
would be unconscious. Those
about me could not tell there
was life in me. After these
spells I would be very weak and
nervous, sleepless and without
appetite; had neuralgia in my
head and heart. After taking
the remedy a short time all this
disappeared and in a few weeks
all the heart trouble was gone"
