Oliver V. Daniel departed this life
on Monday, December 24th, 1900, in
bis 24th year of that dread disease,
liuufiumpuon. jtie was a devoted son
or Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Daniel, and
brother of Messrs. W. B. and J. L
Daniel, of Vance county, J. T., C.G.
and Marsh Daniel, of Granville, and
several married sisters, all of whom
are fondiy devoted to each other.
O.lie was a great sufferer for mere.
than a year, but through all these
months he was never known to mur
mur or complain.
Just before he was taken sick he
entered into business at Culbretb
with bright prosDects of pneo.u ht-
fore him, but notwithstanding this
when he was taken sick h won t
back to his fathers house, and there
bore with sweet christian resigna
tion his long confiaement.
He always had a cheerful sunshi
ny disposition and it was a real ben
ediction to visit him and talk roith

Ptesbyterian church, and all through
his life ever found in the paths of

marriage fees Discussed.
It is rather a risky business for f
woman to marry a man who is to.
poor or too stingy to pay reasonabl.
marriage fee. Any respectable ladj
would feel complimented and honor
ed to know that her husband respec
ted and loyed her enough to p&
something to get her.
Peachers are called on to perfoim
most of the marriage ceremonies
Preachers generally are poor met,
hard run to live. It is rleht. ino
and appropriate for them to b rf,
liberal marriaee fees. Lawvera anri
doctors would charge a good fee foi
a similar amount of service.
A goodly number of men act hnn
orably, and pay the preacher or the
magistrate for their services. Th.
most liberal fee I ever knew paid,
was under these circumstances: A
marriage was to take place at a cer
tain house at & certain hour. The
peracher was on his way to the mar
riage. On the road side he saw a
small company of persons standing,
and coming near them a young man
stopped him and asked: "Are you
me preacner going to marry the cou
ple todaj?" ''Yes." "Well, I would
be gUd to get you to marry me."
"When and where do you want to
marry?" "Right here and now."
"Where is the girl you want to mar
ry ?" "Here she stands." Th0

iraies nave spent tinao. lt.hnr sa
money marrying people, and have
not even got "Thank you" for it. A
preacher went 28 miles through
snow, sleet, mud and intense cofd,
to marry a couple. After marriage
the young man said to the preacher
j. am snort or money to day. I will
8?e you in a few days, and pay you."
In a few days the preacher saw the
young man, but the young man did
not see the preacher. He turned his
head and locked the other way. The
preacher has never seen that fee yet.
Another case, a young man came
to town,bought license,got a preach
er to go ten miles with him into the
country to marry him. It took a
whole day. After marriage the
young man said to the nreacher-. "Tt
will take about all the money I have
to buy tickets for me and wife, to
the town where we are going. Give
me your address and I will send you
a fee in a day or two." The address
was given, but no fee ever came.
But many do not even promise to
pay, they say nothing about it, they
seem to think it is the duty of
preachers to marry them. A preach
er went 40 miles on a Railroad, and
20 miles through the country to
marry a couple. It took him two
days, besides the cost of travel. He
got nothing, not even thank you.
Thousands of such cases culd be
given, but those cited above were as
samples.

Left out last week.
It is reported that there are quite
a number of cases of email pox in
in Fishing Creek Township, and it
is important that county commis
sioner take the neccessary steps to
prevent the spread of this loathsome
disease. It is also reported the
board of Commissioners at their last
meeting had guards placed at the
three following places over Tar
vis; urews, Blackwelis, and Lyons
bridges.
Why is it neccessary that these
places be guarded, when any one
wishing to go to and from the in
fected section can cross the river
between the above mentioned places
or why are the Eastern and North
ern sections of the county quaran
teen6d,while the Southern and West
ern sections are exposed?
Is it an osrer sight of the commis
sioners, or is that one section of the
county intends to be protected at the
expense of the othei?
If these sections wishes to be pro

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison ; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition wil
the aches and pains cease.
Mrs. Tames Kell. of ?o7 vinfVi et tm t?
Washington, D. C, writes as follows: '"A'feiJ
months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma
usiu in ils wur?iL iurm. 1 ne
pain was so intense that I
became completely pros
trated. The attack was an
unusually severe one, and
my condition was regard
ed as being very danger
ous. I was attended by
one of the most able doc
tors in Washington, who is
aiso a memDer ot the fac
ulty of a leading medical
college here. He told me
to continue his prescrip
tions and I would get well.
twelve times without receiving the slightest
benefit, I declined to continue his treatment ani
longer. Having heard of S. S. S.(Swif t's Specific
recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almoj
in despair however, to give the medicine a trial,
and after I had taken a few bottles I was able t
hobble around on crutches, and very soon there
after had no use for them at all, S. S. S. having
cured me sound and well. All the distressing
pains have left me, my appetite has returned,
and I am happy to be again restored to perfed
health.
