A man never realizes how fond
he is of brunettes until he marries
a blonde.
A woman's idea of a good figure
depends on w hether it is her own

pKRKsr.MAKLY, Mr. Bryan re
trains from slumping in lll.noi-. for
fear he might be led into making
a few intemperate remarks.
It is probably true that Satan
never takes a vacation, but there's
no good reason why he should be
always working overtime.
Tut shipment of 1,000 horses
from Si. Louis for the French
army illustrates the progress of the
"buy-in-America" inovemeu; in
Europe.
In 1910 Tolstoi prophesied that
a general war in Europe would be
gin in hi2 and I.im until 1025.
It is Imped that he linked the latter
dale by more than iwu years.
If the world were 10 come 10 an
end presumably Britain's official
press bureau would report it as
follows: "The situation at the
front remains unchanged."
Tlthkl-: are devices innumerable
for the "relief of tne cotton." In
this multitude of counsellors there
is an occasional indication of san
ty. One is the substitution uf oats
fur cotton.
ONE trouble with European
grandfathers telling his grandchil
dren years hence about the bloody
buttle of the Aisne, is that it does
not now appear thai there will be
any grmidlaihers left.
Onk .statistician estimates that
the war is costing Germany $135

Sunday of D. A. Tompkins, of

largely in the industrially and eco

of cotton mills and a member ot

land where our Saviour Jcmis

glory. In early life she was sound- !
ly converted in New Hope Meth
odist church. She daily lived a
true, simple, consecrated Chris
tian lite. Her influence was ex
ceedingly great, because of a strong
piety. She seemed to have lived
in that conscious presence of her
Master, with whom she endeavor
ed to walk day by day. The church
1 had no belter supporter by words
and works. She prayed as talking
face to face with her Uod Many
have been influenced to consecrate
their lives to Christ by her daily
walk and Cun ei'saiion. When
her husband died, her many friends
Hung open their doors 10 her
When the weight of many years
fell heavily upon her, she became
altlicted; through it all she main
tained her sweet Christian forti
tude. Many were the hands that
tenderly administered to her. She
reaped what she had sown. She
sowed deeds ot kindness, and reap
ed the harvest of love.
When news of her death was
made known, these words escaped
many a hp "A good woman, a
saint of God, has gone to be with
the host of the redeemed." She
was buried beside the sacred dust
of her husband in the presence of
a lurge congregation of loving
friends, in the cemetery at Smith's
church, of which she was a mem
ber for many years. She is dead,
but her life has made undying im
pressions upon the hearts of her
many friends. She by her life
said, "For me to live is Christ, to
die is gain." Many will be the
stars in her crown.
She has fought a good fight, the
battle is over, the victory won, has
laid her armor down. Asleep in

awakes to weep. G. W. F.

Postmaster General Burleson
takes a deep interest in road im
provement and has accepted
an invitation to address the Fourth
American Road Congress, which
will be in session in Atlanta, Ga.,
.luring the week of November 9.
The Postmaster General, com
menting on ihe subieel, said:
"While it is true that the public
road has always been of funda
mental importance as a local im
portance as a local utility, it has
sumed a much broader signifi
cance w ithin the past few years.
The rural delivery service, with
us great corps of 17,1)00 carriers,
has done much tow ard the devel
opment ot country life and this
vast service is materially affected
bv the condition of the public road.
COMilsLSSIOMAl. ELECTIONS.
The election on November 3rd
will result in the election of 435
members of the House of Repre
sentatives, and 32 of the 9ti L'nited
States Senators. The Democrats
now have a 2 to 1 majority in the
House, and before the European
war, it was expected that the Dem
ocratic maiority would be cm to
about 50 or 75, which, however,
is a better working majority than
the huge one we now have. Hut
it is believed thai ihe Democrats
will retain practically the same
majority as they now have as the
American people believe in "stand
ing by the President" when he is
bearing such extraordinary bur
Jens for them, as have been thrust
upon him by the terrible European
war. The Democrats have a ma
jority of 10 in the Senate and it is
believed this will be increased to
IS to 20 as Kansas, Wisconsin,
Ohio, Illinois, New York and some
others, are quite likely to return
Democrats in the place of Repub
lican who were chosen in 1 90S
when the country went Republican
for the last time.
CAN YOU DOUBT IT
When the Proof Can Be So Easily
Investigated.
U hen so many gratetul citizens
of Weldon testify to benefit derived
from Doan's Kidney Pills, can you
doubt the evidence-' The proof
is not far away it is almost at
your door. Read what a resident
of Weldon says about Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Can you demand more
convincing testimony?
b. L. Purlieu, punter, Sevenih
St., and Washington avenue, Wel
don, says: "I had a dull pain
across my back and at limes I w as
so sore and lame 1 couldn't stoop
or bend. The trouble was caused
by a strain which left my kidneys
weakened. The least cold settled
on my kidneys and made me
worse. Friends recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills and I used
them as directed. They soon re
lieved me, putting my back and
kidneys in good condition."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mr. Purnell had.
