Smith last Thursday, June the 9lh, and took away their little granddaughter, Melba Elizabeth Talton, aged about nine months. The child's mother died when she was only three weeks old. She was taken Tuesday with that dreaded disease cholera infantum, liv ing only two days. Ail that kind physicians and loving hands could do was done to make her stay on earth longer, but the Mas ter said, "suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heav en." Little Melba posessed all the graces of childhood?beautiful and bright, and by her sweet and winning ways had endeared her to the hearts of all who knew her. Th<? little one was the pride of the home, no pains were spared; every thing that need be was sacrificed to little Melba. Loaned to them for only nine short, happy months, they passed away oh! too quickly. It is almost impossible to realize the change. This sweet little bud was not left to grace earth with its beauty and fragrance, but called for the Mas ter's use. Her place in that home is vacant, and while our hearts are crushed and bleeding, we know it was God who gave her, and now that He has tak en her away, heaven is the dearer. The little body was laidi to rest Fri day. by the side of her mother. The beautiful little casket was cov ered with many beautiful floral of ferings. She leaves a father, one little bro ther and sister, and a host of rela tives and friends. "Death came with friendly care, The opening bud to heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there." H. S. N. B. Hales for Register. To the Editor: I aw writing to endorse an article in The Herald, recommending N. B. Hales to the Democratic Convention, for the office of Register of Deeds, of Johnston County. The importance of the position and the onerous duties attaching to it, call for tile services of a man, who has the courage to do right. After several years of faithful and efficient services, in the discharge of his duties, in business, which has emi nently fitted him for the position, to which he aspires. I know of no man better qualified and equipped to discharge the duties of this important office, than N. B. Hales. I confidentially believe that when the voters of Johnston county meet in convention in Smithfield, they will feel as I do and nominate Mr. Hales for Register of Deeds. ? Give us Mr. Hales for Register, and W. S. 8tevens for Clerk, and we will have a winning ticket. W. F. GERALD.

Your pres ence will be appreciated. Alex Wiggs for Treasurer. I want to recommend through the coT.umns of your Herald Mr. Alex Wiggs, of Pine Level, for the Demo cratic nomination for the office of Treasurer of Johnston County. Mr. Wiggs is well known throughout Johnston as he was our Treasurer during the years of 1903 to 1907. While in office he discharged his duties to the greatest extent. He was ever in his office during court week? and would stay until court adjourned at night, so the jurors woiild have no trouble in obtaining thfir money. He was present on each Saturday and Monday for anyone to inspect his books or get any informa tion that was required. He is in ev ery respect a trustworthy and ener getit man, and is fully competent to fill the office again. Mr. Wiggs is also one of our strong est Democrats and is ever ready to do anything he can to assist his par ty in any of their undertakings. He is a hard worker and ranks high a mong his fellow-citizens. I I trust that the Democrats of-'John i ston county will think over this mat ter and nominate him again. I don't think we would make any mistake in j doing so. ' 1 hope to hear from some one else in regard to the matter. Respectfully, JESSE DAUGHTRY, Smithfield, N. C. June 11, 1910. Stomach Dead Man Still Lives. People who suffer from sour stom ach. feimentation of food, distress af ter ealing and indigestion, and seek rtlit f in large chunks of artificial dl gestors, are killing their stomachs by inaction just as surely as the vic tim of morphine is deadening and In juring beyond repair every nerve in his body.

In Memory of Our Mother, Columbia A. Johnson. On the afternoon of June the 4th, 1910, at one thirty o'clock, the death angel came into our home and took the sweet spirit of our darling moth er, and transplanted it in the beauti ful Haven of Rest to await the Res urrection Morn. She died suddenly with apoplexy. We feel the loss of our darling mo ther, but know that God in his infi nite wisdom doeth all things well. Some day we shall know and un derstand why God so suddenly took our darling mother, without a mo ment's warning. Her sleep in death was so peaceful and calm. O peace j ful sleep that knows no waking! Her life was well spent in every thing that goes to make a beautiful Christian character. Her loved ones will, oh so sadly, miss her, her vacan cy never more be filled. God saw that her mission here was complete and said, "my child, come home." She was ready, willing and waiting for the Master's call. The sweet memory of her beauti ful life will ever linger before us and will be iui inspiration for her children to lead us on to higher and nobler things of life. We trust that some day we will be re-united in that beautiful home prepared for those who love Him, oh blessed thought. Her kind and lov ing companion will miss her so much, and may God's richest blessings abide and comfort him. Her neighbors have lost a kind and sympathetic friend. She was always willing to do ( 'all that she could for those around her, speak a word of cheer to the bereaved. Yes, mother we shall miss you. ALICE SANDERS MOORE. I W. Lester Stancil for county Treasurer I To the Editor: Seeing in almost every paper some one suggests the name of some i man as being a self-made man, I present to the voters of Johnston | county what 1 consider a self-made I man in the person of \V. Lester Stan cil, of Clayton township. He was raised a poor boy on the farm with out a mother, with an afflicted lath er, a cripple and has to use crutch es himself, has worked and acquired a good education under these trying circumstances. Helped to support his father and sister, he taught In the public school^ for several years, took a business course in King's business College at Raleigh, N. C., and is thor oughly qualified to fill the position with credit to himself and the coun ty. He is a Democrat of the true blue type, his character Is above re proach. To know him is to esteem him, the writer has met him almost daily for the past three years. His social manner and pleasant appear ance makes him liked by all those who meet him. I do ask the Dem ocratic voters of Johnston county to consider this honest Christian gentle man and at the County Convention let us nominate him for county treas urer. He lives now In Clayton where he has a position with Messrs. John I. Barnes and Brother, but he was reared in Wilders township and lived there until recently. JAMES H. PRICE. ARNOLD'S tcuRE BALSAM bowel Complaints by Hood Brothers SMITHFIELD. N C. In Mcmoriam. On Saturday morning. June 4'.h, a? nil ii clm k, this community was ! ihociv-d i > h -ar of tlie death of Mr. ' .p Woodard who died after several ' lays illness of typhoid fever. In e\- 1 fry duty It may be said of him. "he lath done what he could." Thus In the prime of young man lood when life was so beautiful and jrlght and seem so much to live for a hat he thought was right, and we| aelleve God has called him to his i Heavenly home. It was one of the fairest summer lays amid singing flowers they laid < tils tenderly loved body In Its last l >nrthly resting place. We know God has said, "I will not leave you comfortless," and all things work together for good?not one thing, but all things. For the precious promise reaches to the depths of human woe, that how ever deep the waters, they shall nev er overflow. It may seem to our aching hearts that the ones we love most are tak en let us also feel that God loves them more. While we turn our faces away and no more, never no more, we can see his face and grieve for the loved ones who must live for the parents left so desolate and lonely. He was faithful to his parents and we believe his spirit Is transplanted to the gardens of God, there to bloom and bear eternal fruitage. Fond parents, look up at the long est life, Is fleeting and soon we Bhali meet in that home where death can uever, and the midnight vigil by the side of the sufferers is never kept let us, also feel that there is one more to welcome us when we shall cross that intervening space between this land and that one over there. One more to make the strange be yond seem unfair. June 6, 1910. A FRIEND. - I For His Sake 1 "My husband begged me ^ to take Cardui," writes Mat- E3 tie L.
