Little MOllie.

Canebrakc, w. Va, June 13.-
"Mollie Alice" the little daughter of
Mr.: and Mrs. Boss Brown, died June
z: Little Mollie was dearly loved by
all who knew her, and her passing
away has left a vacant place in her
home and the hearts that loved her,
which can never be filled. They have
the sincere sympathy of their may
friends in their great bereavement.
Little Mollie's gone to heaven,
Our home is dreary now;
Deaths Angel came with gentle touch
And cooled her aching brow.
Each one did almost worship her,
An idol formed of clay;
Then God looked down with Jealous
eyes
And took our flower way.
I've looked in vain about the place
To find my jewel rare,
But now with faith / look to God
I'll find my treasure there.
When God shall sweetly call us home
And in the grave we lie,
Well met our own loved Mollie there,
Far up beyond the sky.

which would relieve the crowded con-
dition of these trains. The matter
was referred to committee, who will
get in touch at once with the railway

appointed committee to confer with

tain where this road would touch the

ed that much good will come to the
county from this road direct from

Everyone Has it Within His Power
to BE Happy.

A celebrated French physician has
said that "a mans liver is the baron
eter of his disposition"
Every man and every wonan knows
that the cheerful smile is a big fac
tor in ones success.
Eery one should know that the dis
ordered liver is cause of ninety per
cent of human ills. Lazy overwork-
ed livers are the prime causes of
headaches, indigestion, constipation,
and dozens of other ills.
But the inactive liver alawys warns
by coaed tongue, sour stomach, dull
eye and even laziness. Heed your
warning and you insure happiness to
yourself and reflect it upon your as
sociates. Calomei used to do. Mod
ern day science has found better
way in CARSWELL'S LIVER AID
which is a pure vegetable remedy ON
sale under guarantee or money re-
funded at SO for large bottle. Ask
