JENKINS. "Aunt Winnie" Jen
kins was born April 4, 1815, and died
June 13, 1904, aged 89 years, 2
months, and 9 days. She was the
oldest of our Carthage members a
whole-hearted Methodist, converted,
probably, under Rev. J. B. Martin's
ministry in her eighteenth year. Her
devotion to pastor and family,
church, and cemetery, was constant
and beautiful. Born and reared in
Carthage, she was the last of her
generation, surviving her only broth
er some sixteen years.
Her fatal illness, which continued
seven weeks, was patiently and sub
missively borne; she met death
triumphantly, and her many friends
believe that,
"Where the weary are at rest,
She is gathered into God."
R. H. BROOM, Pastor.
STUBBLEFIELD. Mrs. Adeline
Stubblefield (nee Siddle) was born
June 23, 1839, died August 14, 1904.
She was one of eight children. All
have preceded her to the home be
yond save two sisters and one
brother.
She has been a consistent member
of the Methodist Church for many
years.
It was a great shock to her dear
husband, sisters, brother, and friends
when in a moment she threw up her
hands and said to her husband: "Oh,
I am so sick," and fainted away.
There ended a Christian life of a
pure and noble woman.
She was void of selfishness, for she
lived, for others, and no one doubts
to where she is now.
In a moment she fell on sleep and
went to her eternal reward.
She did not have time for parting
words, no farewells, yet we feel that,
her life warrants the hope of meeting
her in the sweet by and by.
The dear husband and bereft ones
have our depest sympathy.

RICKS. On the 7th day of Au
gust, 1904. at his homo in NnshvilV
X. C. Bro. George Ricks departed
tin's ilfe, in the eightieth year of his
age. Brother Ricks was converted
and joined the Methodist Church
when about eighteen years old, and
spent about 62 years in the service
of his Lord. In his death the church
and community suffer an irreparable
loss. Truly a good and useful man
has gone from us. For a year or more
before he died he was a great sufferer
at times, but manifested a -spirit of
patience and resignation. As a man
and citizen he was honest and up
rightthe very soul of honor full
of integrity. As a Christian, his re
ligion was real. He possessed the ut
most confidence of all who knew him
He filled the office of steward, trus-.
tee, Sunday-school Superintendent,
class leader, and exhorter, and eter
nity will disclose the good done bv
this true servant of God, during his
useful lifp. He was a man of more
than ordinary information, was a
constant reader of the Word. It was
his delight to be in a revival of reli
gion, and was a great help to the
preacher. His earnest and soul
stirring prayers will long linger in
the memory of this writer. He lived
in an atmosphere of prayer. He
erected a family altar several years
ago, and kept it up as long as he was
strong enough to do so. The last
words he was heard to utter were:
"Let us pray." His home was the
preacher's home. It was my privi
lege to visit him often during his
sickness, and I ever found him ready
to express gratitude to God for His
goodness. He loved God, and the
greatest delight of his soul was to
work in the cause of his Master. Ripe
in age and experience, and rich in
good works, he has gone to his re
ward, entered upon the life more
abundant. His companion preceded
him a few years to heaven. Nine
children four sons and five daugh
ters survive him, to whom he has
left a rich heritage in the faithful
training given them. It was beauti
ful to see the devotion of his two
single daughters who lived with him.
ministering to his every need with
such tenderness and love. May the
God whom he delighted to serve com
fort them in their sorrow. We thank
God for his pure, useful Christian
life. Though dead, he yet speaketh.
His memory will be a blessing.
J. M. BENSON.
PARKER. It was a bright, beau
tiful day. The home of J. W. Par
ker and wife, Alice, of Farmville,
N. C, was filled with the sunshine of
gladness. Little Vira Lee was given
a thrice-cordial welcome, and she at
once became the idol of every heart.
As the opening of the tender bud,
touched by the first rays of the
spring-tide sun, so little Vira Lee
came to this home on the 28th of
February, 1904, effulgent with the
sunlight of love and joy.
But, alas! not for long; for the
Master hand touched this tender bud
of only a few months, and on July
22, 1904, after an illness of several
weeks, He took her to Himself, who
said: "Suffer the little children to
come unto me."
That she is dead, she is just away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand,
She has wandered into an unknown
land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since she lingers
there.

upon the blood, purging it of impurities and restoring it to a healthy,

strength and vigor and better health is the result. No bad after-effects
follow the use of S. S. S., as so often happens with blood medicines

S. S. S will search out and remove from the blood the fixed poison and
build up the health ; it enriches and purifies weak, thin blood and stim
ulates the circulation. Pure blood is essential to health. You can
exist without good blood, but can never be robust and strong ; for every
organ, tissue and nerve in the body looks to the blood for nourishment,
and unless this vital fluid is kept in a pure, healthy state, the rest of
the body suffers and the system soon breaks down. Nature has pro
vided in S. S. S. a remedy for diseases of the blood which long
experience and a thorough test have proven superior to all others, and
the acknowledged " King of Blood Purifiers."
