men, for behold the righteous ure fall-
en! Pious old Joe Hartline, whom
many expected to see escorted to heav-
en in a fiery chariot, after the manner
of good old Elijah of old, has fallen.
He has indulged in horse-trading, and

for a horse trader to enter the kindom
of heaven as.it is for an elephant to
pack his own trunk and send it by ex-
press into the jungle: of darkest Africa.

benefited by his visit to the city, and

says: “My dear old friend. a happy
and prosperous 1905 to you.” We are
also under obligations to Miss Marion
D. Buchanan, of Newport, Tenn., for

home friends, who have been calling in
person, and renewing their “subs” also
have our thanks for kind wishes and
words of approval; but they are so
numerous that space and time forbids
their mention. We are none the less
thankful, however, and may God be
good to all of them.

prise party in honor of the 50th birth-
day of Mrs. Henry Loechel, the good

friends. who report one of the best
times of their lives. The house was
thrown wide open to the guests, and
music, dancing and refreshments were
features of the evening. It was a late
hour when the guests departed, and as

SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of
Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour Dr. King’s New Dis-
eovery for Consumption turned de-
spair into joy. The first bottle brought
immediate relief, and its continued use
completely cured her. Tt’s the most
certain cure in the world for all throat
and lang troubles. Guaranteed bot-
tles 50c¢ and $1.00. Trial Bottles Free

TONIC TO THE SYSTEM.
For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers, the famous little
Pills. They do not weaken the stomach.
Their action upon the system is mild,
pleasant and harmless. Bob Moore, of
LaFayette, Ind.,says. “No use talking,
DeWitt’s Little Early Risers do their
work. All other pills I have used gripe
and make me sick in the stomach and
never cure me. DeWitt’s Little Early
Risers proved to be the long sought re-
lief. They are simply perfect.” Per-
sons traveling find Little Early Risers
the most reliable remedy to carry with
them. Sold by E. H. Miller. 2-1
