IN MEMORY OF ARTHUR
 COTTER

The subject of this sketch was born in November, 1873, in Spring Creek township, Lee county, and was the second son of the late Ham ilton w. Cotter. He was married to Miss Sallie Newborn and to this union was born four children, Who' together with his widow, survlve him.
 The book of his destiny is now sealed and his pilgrimage between two eternities has ended in the tomb. The angel of death has stopped the pendulum that vibrated in his bosom but let us now rejoice in the hope that his soul now rests in the Paradise of God. The highest tribute of love and honor that could be paid to his honor IS that he was A Man m all the walks ot life. He was just and honorable to his fellow man; he loved the rlght and despised hypocracy. He had inst been elected for the fifth time to the high office of sheriff of Lee county and had announced that at the end of this term he would re- tire from office, little thinking then ! that Heaven had elected him to. a l higher office than man could glVe him. Through all his life his love of family and friends never wanel and his devotion to his friends anc what he thought was right neVel cooled. Then may l be allowed t' place flower of love upon m

In the winters since the armistice, America has been the one friend that has had food to give them. It is a very common sight in Europe today to see a child five or six years old whose head has not heal ed. With healthy, well-fed baby the skull should close before two years. America must see these children through the rigors of an other winter and to that end eight great relief organizations have com bined into the European Releif Council. It seeks to raise $33,- OO0,0O0 to save this generation of Europe from death by starvation and the diseases that come with under-feeding.

Damp Weather

No doubt you have noticed that
neuralgia and rheumatism are more
prevalent in damp, stormy weather
than when the sun shines every day.
The cause of these pains are almost
invariably found in and around the
teeth. Cavities in the teeth are
known to contain germs Of different
kinds. The germs are absorbed in
the blood, they are 5reathed into the
lungs, they are swallowed; they find
their way into various parts of the
body and there carry out their ne
farious work. Damp weather simp-
ly hastens their action.-Dr. H. M.
Wright, Traders Bank Building.

No one is less inclined to under
value beauty than / am. It certainly
draws us with single hair, as the
poet says.
But there is something stronger,
than beauty and that is personality.
If ! were to choose winner from
two girls; one with beauty and very
little magnetism, and the other with
out wonderful features, but with a
pleasing personality, would pin my
faith to the latter every time.
What is more, I would wager that
any happiness she would be more
lasting, for her admirers would
stick to her longer, and her friends
would never grow tired of her, but
only become fonder Of her as the
years passed by.
Few things are more pathetic than
the woman with only beauty to rec
ommend her, when she grows old
and faded and has nothing in the
way Of charm to take its place. You
see dozens of them who think they
can fool Father Time by gliding their
hair and rouging and calcimining
their compilations, then they wear
sixteen year-old models and mince
along the street, thinking they can
deceive everyone into thinking them
