Mr.. Hannibal McBeath and family.
VINO have been residents of Columbia
for the past two years, will leave to-
day for Boyle county to reside, Mr..
McBeach having purchaseda farm near
Danville. The people of Columbia
generally regret the departure of this
very excellent family, valuable
acquisition to any community. In their
departure this place loses and Boyle
county gains. We understand that Mr.
McBsath and the members of his
family were delighted with
Columbia, but inducements brought
about the change They leave with
the best wishes of this community.

Obituary..

On the Is, of Nov. the death angel
visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alva
Harvey, and removed their only
daughter, Leila. She was % years old
and good girl and loved by all who
knew her. She had been confined in
her room nearly 10 months with con-
sumption. All that loving hands, could
do was done, but God called her to joys
above. She found the Savior precious
to her soul and was baptized few
weeks before the end came. To her
grief stricken parents and brothers, we
can but say, the Lord giveth and he
takes away, bless his holy name.

THE LINDSEY WILSON.
The Entertainments Before the Ad.
vent Of Christmas Festivities.
THEY WERE HIGHLY ENJOYABLE.
JUROR RECITAL AT L. w. T. S.

We are glad to make mention of the
Recital given at the Lindsey Wilson
Chapel by the junior Pupils of the
Music and Expression Departments on
Tuesday afternoon Dec. 18th. In spite
of the very bad weather, quite nice
little crowd of Columbia's most appre-
ciative citizens was present and were
highly entertained for the space of an
hour or more by the budding talents of
the younger ones. All of the perform
ers were beginners, but they did
great credit to themselves and reflected
honor on the skill and perseverance of
their teachers. We can recognize in
them the coming sweet girl gradu-
ates" who shall furnish our town with
entertainments of the highest and most
finished order in few short years if
they continue as they have begun.
The readings were "Miss Minerva
and William Green Hill' given by
Verna Bryant, like johnson" by Nell
Hindman, 'The Mourning Veil'' by
Christine Nell and the well.known
."One-legged Goose" by Mamie Rus
sell. These were all well rendered and
showed good, persevering work on the
part of the pupils.
The piano pieces were also well
rendered, but especial mention should
be made of the following: a piano solo
"flower Bells by Christine Nell,
Dance of the Bears" by Nell Hind
man, duet by Capitola Webb and Cal.
lie Mcfarland and one of the best and
most appreciated Of all, little trio by
Mary Harris, Mamie Russell and Liz
zle Harris. Nor fought we fail to
speak Of Master Alfred Pretzel. AL
though he can never be sweet girl
graduate" his piano solo showed that
his first few months in the study of the
art that "soothes the savage breast"
has been well applied.
The last thing on the program was
chorus THE Young Musician" by the
Primary Pupils.

Lloyd, who correctly diagnosed
''Maudie's" ailment.
This little play was much appreciated,
by the audience.
The next play was Little Miss Van
Winkle," in which was represented a
little girl being fooled by her playmates
into believing she had been asleep ten
years. It was well played, and showed
signs of some good acting ability among
the children. Christine Nell acted the
part of ''Miss Van Winkle;" Mamie
Russell. Nell Hindman, Fred Harris,
Alfred Pretzel and Paul Crenshaw were
her playmates; apd Verna Bryant was
miss Soc Kross," the austere, prim

enthusiastically received by the audi

Miss Ruth Milliken and Miss Loretta /

"Clara and Gertrude" who were so
much alike as to seriously confuse one.
''Mr. Charlie Get-There," an energet-

young book agent, represented by Mr..
Luther Gadberry. At first sight he fell
in love with Clara, and proposed and
was accepted. A few minutes later he

the best, if not the best, general music

man, Christine Nell and Alma McFar-
land, and the two by Misses Alice Walk
er, Flora McBeath, Coda English and
Cary Resent ED. The Caprice

a delightful piano solo.

Misses Elsie Coy and Mallie Moss,
duet by Misses Alice Walker and Cary

success and the success of her pupils.

How to Get
Rid of catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
II Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid Of 1t by
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treatment
discovered by DR.. Blosser. who, for over
thirty-six years, has been treating catarrh
successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. 1t is
not a spray, douche, salve. cream. or in
haler. but is a more direct and thorough
treatment than any of these. 1t cleans
out the head, nose. throat. and lungs so
that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
an catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals
the diseased mucous membranes and
arrests the foul discharge, so that you
win not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting, and at the same time
IT does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach, as internal medicines do.
II YOU want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR.. ].
w. Blosser, 2s1 Walton street. Atlanta.
Ga. and he will send you by return
mail enough of the medicine to satisfy
YOU that IL is all he claims for 1t as a
remedy for catarrh, catarrhal head
aches, catarrhal deafness, asthma,
bronchitis, colds, and dull catarrhal
compiications He will also send you
free an illustrated booklet. Write him
