THE ENTERPRISE
Master Hanse Watts
f The community was shocked ou
on Friday morning to learn of the
, death of Hanse Watts, the vouor
M 'son of Mr. nud Mrs. J. W. Watts,
at their home in East Williamson.
The week previous he had been ill
* with measles but had been able to
S sit up in bed. But on Monday a
} change was noticed and attending
physician discovered that he was
suffering with ureamic poison. All
1 efforts failed to counteract same
and restore the little patient to con
" So after suffering sev
: erely for hours, he died at 4:30
Friday inornirg, December 81 h,
Hanse was born October i6tb,
' 1900, and had always been a deli
cate child yet full of the joyous
' spiiit ot boyhood, devoted to his
family and little boy friends, who
loved birn for his open bartedness
and attractive manner. He was a
member of the fourth grade at
school and closely applied himself
to the studies of his class and his
name has been on the honor roll all
the term. The death of no child
iu town has brought so great sor
sow to the playmates and older
friend 6. The handsome floral de
signs from the school and many
friends attested this fact. His
"shiuiug morning fuce" will be
missed not only by the loved ones
at home in the years to come, but
bv all who knew birn. Many were
the ttars which mingled with those
of the loved ones liecause of his
untimely end.
Death in childhood is ever sad,
yet it can be said: are ye,
little human ephemera! Yeplayed
only io the ascending beams, aud
' in the early dawn, and in the east
-1 eru light; ye drank only of the pre
libations of life; hovered for a space
over a world of freshuess and blos
som?: aud fell asleep in innocence
! before the morning dew was ex-
F haled."
Saturday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock the funeral services of the
Church were conducted by Rev.
Rufus Bradley and the little body
was laid to rest in the Batist Ceme
tery beneathe a mound covered with
the flowers he loved so well.
, The pall bearers were: J. W.
Watts, Sr. W. B. Walts, Maui ice
Watts, J. W. Watts, Jr., C. H.
Godwin and A. M. Jordan.
Lighting Kills Fit
1 Iu 1906 lightning killed only 169
; people in this whole country. One's
. chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
ctaancc of death from liver, kidney
or stomach trouble is vastly meater
but not if Eltctric Bitters be used,
as Robert of West Bur
lington, la , proved. Four doctors
gave him up aftei eight months of
suffering from virulent liver trou
ble and yellow jaundice. He was
then completely cured by Electric
Bitters. They're the best stomach
liver, nerve and kidney remedy and
blood purifier on earth. Only 50c

ACnJu. STARVATION
Pacts About Indigestion
and its Relief That
Should Interest You
Although Indigestion and Dys
pepsia are so prevalent, most peo
ple do not thoroughly understand
their cause and cure. There is no
reason why most people should not
eat anything they desire —if they
will oulv chew it carefully and
thoroughly. Many actually starve
themselves into sickness through
fear of eating every good-looking,
good smelling, and good-tasting
food, because it does not agree with
them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dys
pepsia. We are so confident of 'h's
fact that we guarantee and promise
to supply the medicine free of all
co*t to every one who will we it,
who is not perfectly satisfied »\ith
the results which it products We
exact 110 promises, and put no one
under any obligation whatever.
Surely, nothing could be fairer.
We are located light here and our
reputation .should be sufficient as
surance of the genuineness of our
offer.
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion or Dyspepsia in my
form to come to our store and buy
a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.
Take them home and give them a
reasonable trial, accoiding te direc
tions. Then, if not satisfied, come
to us and get your money Wk.j
They are very pleasant to take;
they aid to soothe the irritable
stomach, to strengthen aud invigo
rate the digestive organs, and to
promote a healthy and natural
bowel action, thus leading to per
fect healthy digestion and assimila-;
tlon. . .'I
A 25c. package of Rexall Dyspep
sia Tablets furnishes 15 days' treat
nieut. In ordinary cases, this is
sufficient to produce a cure In
more chronic cases, a longer treat
ment, of course, ts necessary, and
depends upon the severity of the
trouble. For such cases, we have
larger sizes which sell for 50c. and
$1 00. Remember, you can obtain
Rexall Remedies iu this community
only at our store—The Rexall

NO CAUSE TO DOUBT
A Statement of Facts
Backed by a Strong
Guarantee
We guaiantee immediate and
p>iitive relief to all sufferer.s ~Tioin
constipation In every ca*e wheie
our remedy fails to do this we will
1 return the money paid us for it.
1 That's a trank statement of fact-,
aud we want you to substantiate
them at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just
' like candy, ar« particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may bej
taken at any time, day or night;
do not cause diarrhoea, nausea,
griping, excessive looseness, or
other undesirable effects. They
hive a very mild but positive action
upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently action
as a regulative ionic upou the re
laxed muscular coat of the bowel,
thus over coming weakness, and
aiding to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orde'lles are unsurpassa
ble aud ideal for the use of children
old folks and delicate persons. We
cannot too highly recommend them
to all sufiereis trom any form of
constipation aud its attendant evils.
That's why we back, our faith in
them with our promise of money
back if they do not give entire sat
itu'acttion. Three 12 tablets
to cents, 36 tablets 25 cents and
80 tablets 50 cents. Remember,
