Little Ethel Louise Jones.
(Reported to The Commonwealth.)
The many friends of Rev. and Mrs.
C. A. Jones deeply sympathize with
them in the death of their little
daughter, Ethel Louise, which oc
curred in their home Tuesday morn
ing at three o'clock. Sick only a few
days her death came as a shock.
Not quite nine months did God
leave her with them, but in that
time she had entwined herself around
their very hearts and lives; she was
the "light" of that mothers heart.
Their home is saddened wit sorrow
now and their very heart-strings
seem almost torn asunder.
But they with unfaltering faith,
know that God makes no mistakes,
that what he does is for the best.
"Some day we'll understand
God's plans like lilies pure and
white unfold,
We must not tear the close shut
leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of Gold."
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the home by the Presiding
Elder, W. S. Rone, Tuesday after
noon at five o'clock, and the remains
were interred in the Baptist Cemetery.
LOT FOR PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SE-L THE J. D. STEWART ICE FACTORY.
CURED.
Announcement to Customers and The
Public Generally.
Sunday Scbool Organized.
Owing chiefly to the efforts of
Mesdames O. F. Smith, Harper Alex
ander, D. A. Madry, Stuart Smith,
P. A. Rasberry and Miss Margaret
Whitehead a deed for a lot upon
which to build a Presbyterian church
here has been secured. The lot was
bought from Mr. R. H. Gray and is
situated on Main street on the block
on which Mr. Tom Powell's store and
Mr. S. T. Wommack's house are lo
cated. It is not known yet just when
the church will be built.
Some weeks ago the Presbyterians
organized a Sunday School which has
been held every Sunday since its or
ganization in the Graded School Au
ditorium. Thus far the attendance
has been pleasing and those who or
ganized the school have found much
cause for hope and encouragement
in their work.
Party and Picnic.
Thursday night, May 27th, at the
home of Mrs. W. A. Dunn, the mem
bers of the Sans Souci Club gave a
party to the young ladies of the
town. One interesting and en
joyable feature of the occasion was
a guessing contest. The answer to
each question was the name of some
county in the State. Mr. Charlie
Dunn won the first prize, which was
a box of Huyler's candy. This he
presented to Miss Lula Peele, of
Page's Mill, S. C, who is visiting
Miss Pauline Tillery. The booby
prize was won by Mr. Jack Riddick
and Miss Stella Hoffman, who were
partners in the contest.
After the prizes had been present
ed refreshments were served, after
which the guests left for their homes,
all declaring that they had spent a
delightful evening.
The following guests were present:
Messrs. Richard, Charlie and Dan
ford Josey, Jack Tiiddick, Allison
McDowell, Sam Harrington, Frank
Moore. Sam Kitchin, Charlie Dunn,
Charlie Steptoe and Biggs Bryan;
Misses Louise Futrell, Stella Hoffman,
Katherine and Sadie Kitchin, Sallie

Beginning not later than next
Monday, June 7th, The J. D. Stew
art Ice Factory will issue certificates
to customers (instead of tickets)
worth one dollar each. These cer
tificates will be redeemable at either
of the local banks, less the amount
due for ice.
The ice wagon will make one trip
daily on every street in town to sup
ply customers with ice. It is im
possible to say what hour the wagon
will be on any particular street, but
it will leave the factory at 7:30 every
morning, beginning in Clarksville.
A bell on the wagon will notify cus
tomers of its approach.
Any large amount will be deliver
ed at any hour after the regular
morning trip. Fountains, hotels,
and refrigerators will be supplied
every day before the regular trip.
For the convenience of those who
miss the wagon and to supply the
small trade, arrangements will be
made with some one on Main street
to handle ice.
It is the object of the proprietor
to give the people good service, and
in a short time things will be going
smoothly. It is hoped that any
error or seeming want of service will
be overlooked, as it is impossible to
give perfect service until everything
is properly adjusted.
Any amount less than one hundred
pounds sold at 40 cents per hundred;
one hundred pounds or more 33 1-3
cents per hundred.
Any complaint or order call tele
phone No. 36.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tho
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or iinieiTect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the intlamniation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be do-
