IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. J. p. Patterson, born May 2
1854, dearly loved wife and mother
of Mr. J. p. Patterson and six chil
dren. Her sweet gentle spirit pass
ed into heavenly rest, August 1
1917.
A shadow dark against the sum
mer sky;
A murmuring of angels up above
The sound of wings, as little birds
that fly, away from earth, In spite
of all that love.
You bore us, still you could no lon
ger stay.
The years fly swiftly on, now we see
The coming of a once so happy day.
It seems as if your presence ought to
be
Here on earth to hear the earth's
good will
Your birthday! Oh, I can see you in
your place!
Your gentle loving voice, I hear it
still;
And smiles kiss tear drops as I
dream your face.
Although your soul has gone ta rest
above
The world still knows the sunshine
of your love. FAN.
Remarkable Prophecy.
(Asheville Citizen)
Putman's Monthly Magazine, pub
lished in 1853, alludes to 'a strange
prophecy, publishing in the Almanac
Prophetique printed in Paris, in
1608 by Abram Sawgrin, nearly
three hundred years ago. The pre
diction made was: That the United
States would seperate from England
the Mother Country, that the
"new son" would rise in political
power on the earth; that after a
time the "Mother and son" would be
completely reconciled and enter into
an alliance that would cause their
sovereignty to extend over all na
tions; that after the world's subu
gation, peace plenty, commerce and
industry will flourish throughout
the earth; that a new era will come
on the earth when these nations will
not only govern, but actually possess
the entire globe; that justice is eter
nal. Civilization can only rise from
the destruction of barbarism. That
barbarism and idolatrous worship
will forever disappear before the
"United Mother and Son." That
they will together establish Chris
tianity over Jihe whole face of the
earth.

Strategy and Tactics.
(Boston Monitor)
Military operations are, after all,
simply a colossal game of chess,
with human being substituted for
ivory pieces. Strategy consists of
the movements of armies or fleets in
such a way as to impose the oppos
ing commanders the conditions of
battle preferred by oneself. Tactics
on the other hand, are summed up
in the movements of troops in actual
fighting. The great qualifications for
ia general are a natural eye for coun
try, a power of rapid decision, and
a supreme common sense. Marl
borough had these, Frederick thei
Great had them, Napoleon had them,
and General Lee had them. To hide
your own aim from an opponent, to
read him entirely astray, to strike
him with your fullest force, while
perplexed, hesitating, or unprepar
ed, is the chief object of a comman
der, and it is the power to do this
which distinguishes a great gener
al, which won for Frederick the
great battle at Leuthen.

Every .. druggist in town your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re
sults," said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver xone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs 50
cents, and if it fails to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasteing, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipa
ted bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
yiolent calomel. Take a dose of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don t
lose a day's work! Take Dodson s
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambition. .
j G Hall recommends Dodson s
Liver Tone to take the place of dalo
