certainly the most eco
nomical preparation of its
kind on the market. A
little of i t goes a long way.
It doesn't take much of

hair, make the hair grow,
and restore color to gray
hair. JMUMk, JUKnoMf

'Ladies and Gentlemen. I
hive the honor of introduc-
inir to this august assembly
he name of one of your own
countymen, Hon. L. G. Max
well, one of the efficient mem
bers of the Board of Educa
tion, who is not only a , very
iolite scholar, but n man of
extensive and profound eru
dition.
Mr. Maxwell was born on
the North Fork o New River,
a, pelluHd.strpnm indicating
he purity of bis character.
a river which rises in moun
tains among the grandest
works of nature, and, reflec
ting in its course, the proud
est works of man is symboli
cal -of his character, which,
in its ceaseless and ever-wi
dening flow, is a symbol ot
his eternal lame. .A1I ages
have ad mi re I nobility. ! His
torians have recorded with
glowing emphasis and poets
have sung of the noble exam
Dies of self-sacrifice and love,
both of Kings on t he field of
battle nnd peasants in the
lowliest walks of life. The old
have meditated on them with
tears, and the young have
read, with throbbing breasts
and heroic resolutions to be
come great and noble.
In all ages of the w o r I d
there have 'been men who
bave risen above selfishness,
nnd have illuminated this
dark world of ours. True no
bilitj does not always accom
pany the pomp and pagean
trr of monarchs. Seldom isit
cradled in costly parlors fur
nished with costly furniture
and embellished with an n-
bundance of gold, out it fre
quently rises from poverty
and obscurity, unnoticed ex
cept-by the few who enjoy
the magnanimity of its unset
fish spiiit. ,
Mr. Maxwell has spent thir
ty years of his life in trying
to lift up humanity on a high
er and nobler plain. He has
grown gray in the service of
his country, teaching chil
dren ot Watauga, imbuing
their minds with germs of no
bleness, and is as worthy of
a diadem of praise as the phi
losopher, statesman, or war
rior, whose laurels are died in
blood History is replete with
greit men who have shone as
brilliant orbs in the, literary
world," and ae stare of the
first magnitude, but among
(he galaxy of great men. the
name of L G. Maxwell will
ever; stand out prominent
ana in uoiu renew -
I would compare him to
N.ipoleon, b u t "Napoleon
made his way to empire over
broken oaths and seas of
blood." but Mr. Maxwell has
made his way to the hearts
of the people of Watauga
county by his personal mag
netism, and by his strict ad
herence: to the. principles of
justice and integrity; I would
compare him -to Washington,
but the great Virgininn held
slaves and belonged to the
arisfo-raej' of Virginia, while
Mr. Maxwell belongs to the
common people of Watauga
county. "When truth shall
get a hearing, history will
put: Hamptden for England,
La Fayette for Prance and
Washington as the bright
morning star 'of our earlier
civilization," then, dipping
bis pen in the clear blue, he
will write above them oil in
characters of living light and
known of all men the name
of Mr. L. G. Maxwell. :Dean
Swift says: "Seest thou a
man on whom you know you
can depend, one who will
stand for the right, though
all the world may oppose,
and you find a man who has
a spark of Divinity, a frag
ment of the ! Rock of Ages."
Such a man isL. G, Maxwell.
He will stand for the right.
He has the nerve, and if you
will pardon the expression,
the backbone, to argue for
the right, with lawyers and
judges. Th fame of L. G.
Maxwell will go on increas
ing down through the ages
with ever-brightening lustre.
Historians will, record his
greatness and the sublimest
poets will sing Ms funeral
dirges. Fame will place bis
name among her richest trea
sures.in the great pantheon
of immortality, and the time
swept harp of ages will swell
in grander strains one giant
anthem of praiae to L. G.
Maxwell.
The time enduring sphinx
of Egypt may cease her wier-
ed vigils; the proud, gitrantic
pyramids may crumble into
dust; the bedouin Arab may
halt his camel on the on the
disintegrated dust of the lof-
tient pyramid, but the name
of L. G. Maxwell will still live
in the minds and hearts of
the people of Watauga coon
tv as long as gread deeds
and great thoughts shall be
remembered.
Wheu he dies he will proba
ably be buried on a beautiful j
mound oyer looking New Riv
er, the murmurs oi wnicn
wpre his boyhood music, and
whether virgin snows mantle
his grave with their trackless
undeflles or, a?olian breezes
whisper between itandsinil
ing moons, or the serene sun
shine Bhall steal the noontide
zephyr from the umbrageous
oaks, or the greut king of
storm shall anchor his suble
ship of gloom upon it or turn
oose the guns of thunder
rom their fiery portals, he
will sleep the same calm, se
rene and undisturbed under
the sod of eternal fane. , I re
peat that 'It is with the great
est pleasure that i introduce
the Hon.'L. 0. Maxwell, who
will now address yon."

Mrs.Nancy Banner, relict of
Lewis B. Banner, died on the
7lb day of July, 1902, at the
age of 86. She was the moth
er of a large family t6o well
known to be recounted. ;
The home of Aunt Nancy
and Uncle Lewrs was always
the preacher's inecca and the
people's hostlery. When Un
cle Lewis died, nineteen years
ago. the place lost none of its
social cast; nothing was
missed butthegojd old man.
Home-loving Aunt Nancy
bore trouble patiently; she
seemed always cheerful, nl
ways contented, always tlov-
ed, always busy, always at
leisure, always prosperous.
always devoted to her fumi
ly and friends. Her Jife was
a vine whoso branches en
twined inanv hearts, while it
flourished, and still clings to
them when it has dropped its
fruit and died. But death
should not be deeply mourn
ed, when life has been' so
long, so sweet, so perfect.
The family clung to the
good old mother when. medi
cal skill could do nothing but
stretch the brittle thread
But she was, all the time,
ready to go. Life's work had
been well done; there was
nothing to do but die.
If all children had such a
mother, Eden would be re
stored. 'The Lord rejoiceth
in the death of his saints;"
then why should we mourn?
