Yount was unexpectedly visited oa Sunday morning, April 14, by hi 3 children, grandchildren arid only brother, Mr. Walter Yount, and other relatives. It was the celebratiou of Mr. Yount's 64th birthday. The children had planned the celebration to the surprise of their father, and the plan worked admirably. It is .doubtful whether they could have thought out another surprise that would have given to MR Yount an equal amount of enjoyment. There are perhaps few men who get more enjoy ment, than Mr. Yount, out of his family ana friends. Nothing seems to afford him more real pleasure than to see those around him rejoicing, and in this coming together of his friends to eat with him and to make glad the day, Mr. Rount's highest joy was given expression to through the happiness and pleasure the day brought to those around him. Thus his heart was glad dened by the joy and happiness ot others. May this good citizen have many occurences yet of the day of his birth, and may they ali cause to spring up within him as much, if not more, joy and and peace. J. D. M.

I continued to take it, and while I realized my heart was damaged so 1 could not expect a permanent cure, for fifteen years I worked every day, not withstanding I had been told I would never work again. In July, 1911, I-was taken with rheumatism again, and It went to my heart as before. I got so bad that one of the Albany papers wrote up my life and said I could not live but a few hours.
