IN MEMORIAM.
Consumption
There is no specific for
consumption. Fresh air, ex
ercise, nourishing food and
Scott's Emulsion will come
pretty near curing it, if there
is anything to build on. Mil
lions of people throughout die
world are living and in good
health on one lung.
From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not
take it in its old form, hence
it did very little good. They
can take
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
and tolerate it for a long
time. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cod liver oil in the
form of Scott's Emulsion,
and that is the reason it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.

A Tribute to tha Mtmory of Mr H C Ingram,
of Star, N C.
Soma four years a) I first wont to Star, u
comparative strauger to the p -ople oi that
place. It was there I mit for the first time
lira Klora Ingram wife of Mr II C Ingram.
It ii hard for me to realize that she is gone
from her homo and friends. For about a year
she was my kind friend atidadviser, ever ready
to give sympathy, and aid when called upon.
We miss tier face in the cnurcn ana un
dav School at Star.
We all miss lira Insrram, her friends, her
Dastor. her husband and her children. She
loved her church and her preacher; and her
door stood cpmi to the stranger. Hers was a
rare beautiful character: a-id to know her
was to love her. I wish I were able to do
her justice.
Mrs Ingram was born in Randolph county
near Concord church, and was in her 55t!i
year, she had been married to Mr Ingram
30 years. She had been a member of the
Methodist church -10 years. During the I J
year that I knew her I loa rued to love her i j
more anil more as tlie nays went iy, ana ur
lovely disposition unfolded itself to in a.
It was an inspiration to higher and nobler
things to talk with Mrs Ingram. She always
manasred to keep the conversation in the
right channel; and she could tin.l good and j i
point it out, in every one ue une ui. ,
When I looked around in church last Sunday j
I missed the beautiful, bright, happy face; !
her place was not filled, nor will it be soon, i
if ever. !
On the 23th of Dae 190-j, Christmas day, i
while the glad anthem of praises were Iwing j
sung over all this laud of ours, the beautiful
spirit of Mrs Flora Ingram passed quietly !
and peacefully away. We shall see iier no !
more upon earth, b it we know "all is well." i
It is with a sorrowiul heart tuat l lay this
little wreath all wet with my tears upon the
new made grave of my dear and valued friend.
