"Distribute the literature that

LITTLE MARY FULLER.
A Friend Writes a Loving Tribute
to Her Memory.

A Friend Writes a Loving Tribute
to Her Memory.
Sweet as the flowers that blossom
in June,
Pure as the dews which kissed them
at dawn.
Darling little Mary Fuller fell
asleep in Jesus August 26th, 1911.
The going out of that sweet little
life cast shadow over every heart
in our community She was a bright,
beautiful little girl, given to those
fond parents for only three years,
which time had closely knit the ties
Of affection around their precious
treasure, and it was like severing
the heart strings to part from her.
An, we could not pass through such
awful stress without the help of a
Heavenly Father to sustain us,
In the early morning of life, while
beautiful, pure and happy, God
transplanted her in His garden
above, but she will ever linger as a
sweet memory in our hearts. She
was twin sister to sweet little Jane,
who is left to cheer those loved ones
| in these dark hours. We extend our
sympathy, but God only can console,
for He is 'our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble"
The way seems dark, the shadow )
hang
Across our path today.
But Gods bright smiles tomorrow
VIII drive them all away.
So let us trust the Masters hand,
He'll lead us on our way
Until we reach that city
OF a grand and perfect day.

OF MISS JENNIE EDWARDS
A FRIEND PAYS TRIBUTE TO
HER LIFE AND CHARACTER.
Daughter of the Venerable Ordinary
of Lee County Passes Away at
Home in SmithVille.

1849, Oct. 26-1911, Sept. 3-Af-
ter an illness of three months Miss
Jennie Edwards quietly breathed
out her life at the home of her faith
er, Judge George c. Edwards, in
Smithville She was born and rear
ed in Lee county. At the age Of IA
she was converted and joined the
Methodist church, of which she was
a consistent, active member during
the years Of a long ana useful life.
She was unselfish and kind in the
home. and true in her friendship. A
neighbOr when asked to tell some
thing of the religious life of this
good woman, looked at me earnestly
for moment and replied ut can
all be summed up in one single SEN
tence-heTs was beautiful christ

realized that the end was fast APP

fort and cheer to the family and
friends weeping around the bed.
Calm and composed she heard the
summons, 1.-The Master has come and
calleth for thee" and an expression
of victory, "a look that was never
seen on land nor sea-, lighted up the
wan features. Her mind was clear
even when the touch of death was
dimming the eyes Among other
things she said: Don't weep for
me; 1 leave the world without one
regret, for I shall soon be with my
Savior and see Him face to face
This clear testimony alone is enough
to comfort those who are left be-
hind. She called the family one by
one and gave the goodbye kiss, then
clasping the aged father in a last
embrace said to the sisters: Take |
care of papa, take care of papa" |

vACCINATED IN THE MOUTH
ATLANTA GIRL THE VICTIM OF
PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Picked Her Teeth With a Vaccine
Point, With the Result That She
Is Now in Hospital.

ATLANTA, Accidental vac
cination" is the latest diagnosis of
freak cases reported at the Atlanta
hospitals, the victim of the invol-
untary treatment being none other
than Miss Josephine Brown, prom
inent young lady of this city.
Miss Brown is at present under
treatment at a local hospital, and her
attending physicians say that her
case is the most remarkable in the
annals of medical science.
A few days ago the young woman,
having something caught in one of
her teeth, picked up what she sup
posed was a bone tooth-pick from a
a desk in the family library and used
it to pick her teeth. A day or two
later her mouth began to get sore,
and soon her entire throat and
mouth were in a high state of in
fammation.
A physician was called in, and
the result of his examination puzzled
him exceedingly. Finally, after close
questioning, the young woman re-
called the incident of the tooth-pick,
and told the physician about it. The
medical man had the ''tooth-pick"
hunted up, and found that it was a
vaccine point.
That the vaccination took" with
a high degree of success is an I'M
doubted fact, and the hospital au-
thorities say that the unfortunate
young lady will have to let the vac
cination take it's natural course. The
case has aroused much interest in
medical as we'll as social circles.
