OBITUARY.

On Thursday, October %, 1915,
death entered the home of J. c. Spen-
Ger and took away his wife. Sister
Spencer was born in Georgia, May
%. 1856. She moved to this country
with her parents several years ago.
She Joined the Methodist church at
the age of Is years and remained a
faithful member to her death. She
was married to J. o. Spencer, and TO
this union no children were born to
bless the union, but they were foster
parents of a boy of whom they were
devoted and very proud. Sister Spen-
Ger was afflicted a number of years,
but was confined to her be donly a
few weeks before her death. She llV-
led a quiet and simple life and went
about her home duties with as much
zeal and wisdom as her strength
would allow. Mrs. Spencer is surviv-
ed by her husband, brother, sister,
other relatives and host of friends
to mourn her death. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. A. q.
Duran. Sweet songs were sung and
MANY beautiful floral offerings given
while Sister Spencer was laid IN her
grave at Old Sharon cemetery.
GLOW rich and sweet and full OF
strength
Our human spirits are,
Baptized into the sancities
OF suffering and of prayer!
Supernal wisdom, love divine,
Breathed through the lips that said,
Oh, blessed are the souls that MOURN
They shall be comforted!'
May the Christian husband look to
him who does all things well; may he
be comforted and able to say, Thy
will be done on earth as 1t is IN
heaven.

SEES OPPORTUNITY
OF BEAUTIFYING CITY
CHRISTMAS TREE ON SQUARE
BRINGS SUGGESTION FROM
DIR. ANDERSON.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The sight of a single tree on the
public square of our city brings up
and reinforces a suggestion that has
come to me many times during the
last few years. The sight of that one
green tree on this barren spot is a
real Joy; what if we had dozen trees
growing there? 1t would add 20 per
Icent to the impression made upon
every one who lands in our town, and
would awaken joyous comment upon
the part of all who look from the win
dows of trains as they pass through
our town. Why can we not have the
trees? 1t is a sentiment worth in
dulging, and it would be found to be
something more than sentiment.
The attention of our School and Civic
Club is hereby most respectfully So
licited. Christmas is time for deli
cate and refined sentiment; may we
not add something to the permanent
beauty of our little city, the pride of
all our people.
Jas. A. Anderson.

Your Body
Protests Against Calomel

You have noticed the disagreeable
effects of calomel, that sickening nau-
sea that is characteristic. There is
no reason for tearing up your system
in such a drastic manner.
LIV-VER-LAX, that wonderful
vegetable compound, is just as useful
as calomel for toning up your liver
and Kidding your system Of stagnat-
ing poisons, and it does not make you
feel badly like calomel. 1t is pleas
ant to take with no unpleasant after
effects. Keep it in your home for
health's sake.
If LIV-VER-LAX is not entirely
satisfactory, your money will be re-
turned without question. The origi-
nal bears the likeness of l.. X. Grigs-
