On the 17th of July,190G,God In Ills
wisdom sent an angel to bear the
spirit of our little darling William,
aon of W. L. and Bessie Currin, to
Heaven. Age 6 months and C days.
He was too pure for earth, so God
took him to his home above. ''For
of such Is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Ills stay on earth was short but we
loveil him so tenderly. 1 1 Is hard to
give him up yet we know he Is free
from suffering. He was so lovely even
In death,so pure and spotless white.
He was laid to rest In Enon Cemetery

concourse of sympathizing friends

Mr. Editor: I hope you will
pub
ltah the following:
After carefully reading over the list
of the men. who have announced
themselves candidates for county

the following five good men for coun

T. L. Cannady, of Fishing Creek ;F
H. Gregory.ot Oxford ;L. T.Willlford,
of Tally Ho Township; R. H
Pleasant, ot Oak Hill Township, and
M. Lu Coley, ot Dutchvlile Township

section ot the county is represented

with me. .......
A Jewel In you Saviors crown." "
The soul of little Mary Neal. Infant
child of Rev. and Mrs. F. M. Sham
burger went to Heaven July 8th,1906.
Just one year old. In that short
.year,- the precious babe brightened
the home of our beloved pastor and
made glad the hearts about her.
By her bright smile and cunning
ways she endeared herself to us all,
We loved the child and when sickness
came, we hoped she would be restor
ed to health, but a wise father took
her. "His will be done."
"Alone unto' our Father's will, .
Our thought hath reconciled,
That He who love exceedeth ours;
Hath taken home His child."
"Fold her, Oh! Father. In thine arms
And let her hence forth be,
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and Thee."
Our Sunday School Is in deepest
sympathy with the sorrowing family
therefore be It resolved:
1st. That we bow in submission
to the will of Him who doeth all
things well.
2nd. That we - sympathize with
bereaved family and pray that God
will comfort them in their sorrow.
3rd. That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to the family and copies
sent to the Oxford Public Ledger and
the Raleigh Christian Advocate for
publication.

Habit-forming Medicines.
Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patnt medicines 'con
taining itij-urious ingredients as "broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, It has. in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus
pected of containing the injurioip ingre
dients complained of. Recognizing this
fact some time ao. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y., "took time by the forelock," as It
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi
cines are composed. Thus he has com
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all optosition .that might otherwise bo
urged against his medicines, because they
are now of known composition. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these' medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain auy narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots of
medicinal plants foand growing in the'
depths of our American forests and of
well recoHuized curative virtues.'".
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objuc
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em
ploys chemically pure, triple - refiniid
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being a superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
It enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery," in all bron
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. As will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffer
son Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, of
Cincinnati ; Ellingwood, of Chicago ;
Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
very best ingredients that Dr. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his fa
mous " Discovery " for the cure of not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec
tions, but also of chronic catarrh in all
its various forms wherever located.
