' PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life,
This is the prescription for a lone
life given by an old gentleman in Con
necticut, -who is ninety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful, “Live
temperately, be slow to anger, don’t
worry, take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
ful.”
Should the system get run down—
digestive organs weak—the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
r—body-building properties of cods’
livers, with the useless grease elimi
nated and tonic iron added. We re
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators In
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga.,
Bays: “If people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
J ever used.”
We wish every feeble old per
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their
money if it fails to give satisfaction.

DEATH OF J. W. M. STANLEY
On April 23, the gentle spirit of
J. W. M. Stanley took its flight to
a home whence no traveler has evei*
returned. He was 73 years, 9 mouths
and 2 days old. The funeral services
were held at Bethel Free Will Bap
tist church Friday afternoon by his
pastor, Rev. Ruilin Coats, where he
has been a faithful and consecrated
member for many years. His place
is vacant in our church which will
never be filled, because if Grand-pa
wasn’t there we all knew that there
was something like sickness that
kept him away. He was ma'riied
twice, the first time to Miss Nannie
Stanley and the second time to Miss
Ednie Lee, which he leaves behind
and six children two sons and four
daughters—R. D. and W. W. Stan
ley, and Mrs. D. E. Massengill, Mrs.
J. R. Massengill, and Mrs. G. H. Tem
ple and Mrs. E. M. Temple and 32
grand children and six great grand
children. All that a loving wife and
children and kind friends could do
could not stay the icy hand of death.
The good Lord’s will be done, not
ours. While we are grieved to give
up our loved ones, we can look back
on such a life as grand-pa lived and
think that cur loss is his eternal
gain. We remember well that He
said in His word that Thou hast
beenj faithful over a few things and
I will make thee ruler over many
things. We weep not as those that
have no hope, for we believe with
out one fear that he is resting at
the’ feet of Jesus and let’s strive to
meet him some day where we can
shake hands, He was laid to rest in
the family burying ground to await
the Resurection mourn, when we will
all be caught up in the cloud to
meet the Lord. To know grand-pa was
to like him best for he was a good
neighbor and a kind friend always
ready to lend a helping hand in any
thing that was for a benefit.
God in his wisdom has recalled.
The boon his love had given.
And though the body moulders
here.
The soul is safe in heaven.
His grand-daughter. HATTIE MAS
SENGILL.

DEATH OF RUFFIN BIGGS.
Little Boy Killed by Norfolk and
Southern train at Wendell.
j
Wendell, May 6.—The saddest ac
cident that ever occured in Wendell
happened late Saturday evening when
the Norfolk Southern train ran down}
little Ruffin H. Biggs, the son of Dep
uty Sheriff R. H. Biggs, in Wendell.
Mr. Biggs lives near the Norfolk and
Southern railroad. His little son, his
only child, was in the yard with his
mother when Mr. Biggs came through
the yard on his way to the barn lot
to feed. He stopped, kissed his lit
tle boy and was talking to him when
his wife's attention wass called to
the house. Mr. Biggs went on to
the lot thinking his little son would
go into the house. Mrs. Biggs
thought the child was with its father.
The little boy walked out to the rail
road and was just attempting to;
cross the track when the train come
speeding by, which struck the little
boy and knocked him several feet be- ^
fore the engineer could stop. The,
blow was fatal as he breathed only
two or three times after he was pick- j
ed up by two gentlemen who got off
at the rear end of the train, know
ing some accident had happened by
the danger signal and the sudden stop
of the train. The funeral procession
was the largest ever seen here and
the greatest sympathy of all the peo
ple of Wendell is manifested for .Mr.
and Mrs. Biggs.
