IN MEM0RIAM

In sad but loving remembrance Of
our dear father, Samuel Marbury,
who departed this life at his home in
Pisgah, on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 1880.
His weary nights are over,
He has found sweet rest secure;
We do not wish you back, dear
father,
In this world of sorrow and woe.
But We hope to meet some day
On that bright and shinig shore.
BY his loving daughter,
Ollie Barbour.

FORMER J. s. SENATOR
 NOW ENDORSES SARC0N

Sargon is rapidly becoming household word throughout Canada and the United States. Thousands of grateful men and women from all walks of life have been lifted out of the throes of lost vitality, suffering, mis- cry and i'll health by its use. Tn relating his experience with this famous medicine former United States Senator Thomas w. Hardwick, who served his state for six years in the Upper House of Congress, and who was later elected Governor of Geor- gia, said:
 T had lost most of my old time energy and both mental and physical fatigue came more quickly than formerly. Consti- patton especially had troubled me for the past 10 years and had become accustomed to dos- ing myself with some physic or laxative every few days My ap- petite was not keen and my meals did not seem to agree with me as they should. Sometimes N would feel positively wreched. Sargon was highly recommend ed to and I decided to try 1t.
 The medicine helped me from the first. It gave me splendid appetite I don't know when I 1 have enjoyed my meals more than l do now I eat with more relish and experience no i'll or { uncomfortable after effects what ever Naturally my capacity for work has increased I feel more efficient. I have more energy. Tn fact, l feel that I am in bet ter health than it has been ny pleasure to enjoy in many years, but most important of all. I no longer find it necessary to con- tinually take laxatives and cath artics
 T also took Sargon Pills with fine results and consider them 3 valuable part of the treatment.
 T take pleasure in endorsing sargon for the genuine improve ment It has brought about in my physical condition"

Bodies of AZ R-l0l Victims Lie In State at Westminster Chapel as
 England Waits Burial Services
Dead to Be Buried in Con- mon Grave After Memo rial Exercises On Friday - Crowds to Be Allowed to Pay Last Honors.

London, Oct'S R - Bodies of the 47 victims of the destruction of the dirigible R-101 lay today in collins covered with union jacks and flowers, in the Westminster mortu- ary chapel, awaiting the final hon. ors of their nation before burial in a common grave.
 It was not until 3:30 a. m., that the last of the collins were ranged sided by side in the little chapel aft CT trip through misty streets from Victoria station, where Prime Min ister Macdonald, members of the government, military representa- tives, and a great throng of specta- tors met them as they arrived from Dover.
 Transferred to Train
 The bodies were transferred to a train at Dover from the torpedo boat Tempest, which, with her sis ter craft the Tribune had brought them from Boulogne Sur -Mer, where they had been taken from Beauvais, France. It was near Beau vais that the R-101 crashed and burned. The Tribune went aground outside Boulogne Harbor and the bodies aboard it had to be taken on board the Tempest.
 The public will not be admitted to view the remains of the victims of the dirigible disaster until Fri day, when they will lie in state in ancient Westminster Hall, part of the old palace of Westminster which now is used to house parliament. Ar engagements are being made for great crowds to pass their piers, but it is expected that many thousands will be turned away, unable to en- ter the room.
 Memorial On Friday
 A memorial service will be held Friday at Saint Paurs cathedral, with the Prince of Wales represent ing King George, members of the government also will be present. Some of the most notable people in the land and the diplomatic corps will pay their final tribute to the victims here.
 Burial will take place Saturday in a single grave, probably at Carding- ton. As some of the victims were Catholic it has been suggested that a funeral service with Catholic rites be solemnized at Darlington Friday morning.
