Mrs. Frffl Nasser, Second St.. Smith- i

them and received the most beneficial
results. Bull nagging backaches caused
me considerable suffering and often when I
I first arose in the morning, I would be |
so lame aud sore that I could hardly get
about to perform my work. At night I .
was restless and was obliged to rise
several times on account of the too 1
frequent action of the kidney secretions.
A short use of Boan's Kidney Pills ban- |
tsiied my backache and disposed of the
kidney difficulty. My mother also used
this remedy for a slinular trouble and ?
the results in her case were just as satis

A STUDY IN FACES.
What a bright, earnest face this boy
has! Just such a face as everybody
likes to see. Many years ago a great
artist wanted to make an attractive
picture for his studio, and he chose
such a face He called it "Innocence,"
and you might label this boy with the
same word.
Now look at the other face. What
is there attractive about it? Not a
feature to admire, but eveythincr to
make one turn away in disgust Oae
would almost be afraid to be in com
pany of a man with such a face, for
the character is shown in the face and
if the boy is the picture of innocence,
the man is a picture of all that is vile
and hateful.
One day when the artist before men
tioned was getting to be an old man,
he looked at the beautiful bov on the
canvas and thought he would like to
have a contrast to that face, a por
trait that would represent guilt. A
horrible crime had just been commit
ted and the criminal was in prison
nearby. So the artist got access to
that prison and made a portrait of
the cruel, wicked man who had commit
ted the crime. When the portrait was
finished and he was about hanging it by
the side of the boy picture, he noticed
the names, first of the boy, then of
the man. They were the sam ! That
beautiful, innocent boy had b'come
so vile and wicked that his very face
was a picture of guilt.
Now compare the two faces before
you. The features are similar yet s i
different. Both represent the same
face, but what a change.
Look once more at the boy. What
is that at which he is gazinc so earn
estly? A glass of wine. You know
there are suakes that have the power
to "fascinate" other creatures. If
such a snake can catch the eye of a
bird it will charm it and draw it near
er and nearer until the bird is destroy
ed. That at which the boy is looking
so inteutly has the same power. The
wise king Solomon said long ago
"Look not upon the wine!" He knew
its fascinating power. He who looks
longs to drink, and he who drinks
goes on drinking.
The artist has given you a glimpse
of the way in which thousand of bright
clean boys have been first fascinated,
then defiled and ruiued. No one who
learns to like wine, beer, cider, any al
coholic drink, can be sure of escaping
such a fate, for nothing tends more
strongly to defile human beings and
make them unclean forever than al
cohol.
The liquor traffic cannot run with!
out boys any more than a saw mil
can ruu without logs. The liquor
traffic must go from North Carolina.

In Memoriam.
After a brief iilness of about
one week, Mrs, Mary Wallace,
wife of Mr. D. H. Wallace, of
PrincetOD, in the fifty seventh
year of her age went to be with
Jesus: and our hearts are sad.
The object of this writing has
been a sufferer for over a year.
She was carried to the hospital
at Raleigh for treatment the
twenty-seventh of December last,
and it was feared that she would
not return, so serious was the
nature of the disease, but to the
surprise of nearly all stood the
operation tine, and was able to
return in about three weeks.
Her loved ones gathered at her
home to gladden her return, and
Oh! how sweet to again meet and
converse with her. And ever since
her return, how we watched for
her returning health, fondly
cherishing every indication that
presented itself, hoping that
when the chilly winds of winter
had passed the return of spring
would bring about in her a won
derful change, and that soon she
would be herself again, going in
aDd out among her many friends
and loved ones who were so
anxious for her, her loving com
panion, two married daughters
and her single son, the latter
still living with his parents. But
alas! how soon the change. She
contracted a cold which rapidly
grew into pneumonia. Physi
cians were called in and every at
tention kindly given by loving
hands, but all to no avail. The
hand of death had lain his icy
touch upon her, and nothing
could stay his progress. While
our hearts are bleeding and all
so loath to give her up, we can
but feel that our loss is her
eternal gain, and that to-day,
the first Sabbath after her de
parture is to her the sweetest
Sabbath ever spent on earth.
Her funeral was preached at
Itains's Cross Roads on the sixth
of March (she having passed
away on the fifth) by Rev. .). H.
Worley to a sorrowing congre
gation, she having joined the
Free Will Baptist church a good
manv years ago and who was a
faithful member of the same.
Her precious body lies in the
churchyard to await the resur
rection morn.
The writer has known this pre
cious woman from girlhood. We
have spent many happy hours
together and being a first cousin
were very closely associated and
I can say she was a good woman,
unselfish, meek and gentle. To
know her was to love her. We
believe that God wanted her with
Him and we bow in humble sub
mission to His will.
May her precious children ever
follow her example and finally
together with sorrowing hus
band, relatives and friends all ac
last meet her in the home be
yond.
