Last Monday, August 20th, Mr. J. F.Imon Page died at his home in Clayton. He had been sick ouly a few weeks, but during that time had visited Panacea and Fuquay Springs, hoping to regain his health By advice of his faithful physicians he went to Baltimore for treatment, but soon learned that he could never be well again. Fast Friday he came home and all his friends knew he could live only a few days. He died on Monday about midday and was buried on Tuesday at the Penny burial grouud beside his mother and children. Funeral services, were conducted at his home Bv Elders Gardner and Simpkins. He was a worthy member of the Primitive Baptist church, having done much to establish a church in Clayton and was al ways ready to entertain his friends and brethren. He was never too busy to attend church, he lived a consistent Christiau life and died without an enemy. He was one our best citizens and the entire town feels the loss of a true friend. He ever spoke in kindness and every word came from a clear conscience, and no evil motive was ever imputed to him. He worked hard and by his energy aud good judgment, accumulated a fair estate lie was attentive to business, ready to relieve the distressed, sympathized with the bereaved, perfectly honest, always oblig ing, loved and helped his church, took an active interest and gave a hearty support to every good movement in his town aud com munity. He left a noble wife, a duteous aud hopeful son, sur rounded by true friends. He has gone to the home of the faithful aud holy influence entwines his name. G. The Charming Woman is not necessarily one of perfect form aud features. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires: neatness, clear eyes, c'ea? smooth skin and that sprightliness of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman is never attractive, ndr even to herself. Electric Bitters restore weak women, give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin,beautiful complexion.
