In her later years. She was at all
times the same. I never in all my
life saw her angry or speak evii of
anyone. Her whole life was acts of

ever attentive to her duties.

| SUCCESSFUL MUSIC SCHOOL.
Prof. E. M. Cul'om Crlrecl at M;a
r'ow Hill, Jul/ 23rJ.
Or. J ily 23. liUO, Prof. E. M. Ci I
lom a vocal a.ul Instrumental
entertainment at Meadow HIU school
bouse at the close of the most suc
cessful music school ever taught in
this section. A large and apprecia
; 'ive audience was there to hear the
splendid music made by the class.
About 11 o'clock the class was
called to order and after a few re
| marks made by Prof. Cullom the ex
ercises opened by everybody singiug
thai sweet old song. How Firm a
Foundation. Then prayer by J. S.
I.aw lion. after which the morning ser
? vices began In earnest. For an hour
'or more the audience was held spell
bound by the interesting program
which consisted of singing by the
class, duets, solos, etc. Miss Blanche
Cullom and Miss Ferma Warren pre
sided at the organs. Mr. Craven Lee
was violinist.
About 12 o'clock Mr. John W. Wood
i was called for and after making a
, few remarks about other things an
nounced that It was time for dinner,
so this closed work until everybody
on the ground had eaten and en
1 Joyed a good dinner.
| After every one had talked and had
' n good time for about two hours, we
were again called back to the house,
when the programme of afternoon
was taken up. The most Interesting
feature of the programme was the
singing of the very small children.
It is strange to see how Prof. Cul
lom can train the little fellows in so
short a time. He is simply master of
his work. Messrs. H. M. Johnson, D.
[J. Wood. L. Eldridge, T. J. Mash
i burn and J. S. Lawhon made short
talks encouraging and endorsing the
good work that Prof. Cullom is do
ing. We have had two sessions
' taught by him and on last Saturday
in a few minutes another contract
was secured for another session next
summer.
Prof. Cullom and sister. Miss
Blanche. are doing more to create a
thirst for music than any one we
know. To know them is to like
them: to be with them makes one
feel better for having Been in their
presence. They left here for Black
mail's Grove church where they op
ened a school, Monday. It is expect
ed that they will have a very' suc
cessful! school there also, this term
closes August 4th. A large crowd is
looked for. Those who miss it will
lose a treat. They will go Immedi
ately after the close at Blackman's
Grove to Antioch church, from there
to Goshen in Sampson county, from
there to Mill Creek in this county.
This shows how eager people are
for their services. We recommend
them to all who want a first class
instructor. May the good Lord bless
them. Music hath charms.

SilenceI
The instinct of modesty natural to every woman is often a
great hindrance to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of the local physician
which seem indelicate. The thought of examination is ab
horrent to them, and so they endure in silence a condition 1
of disease which surely progresses from bad to worse.
it has been Dr. Pierce's privilege to cure a
preat many women who have found a refuse
for modesty in his offer of FREE consulta
tion by letter. Till correspondence Is held
as sacredly confidential? Address Dr. H. V.
Piercev Buffalo, A. Y.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription restores and regulates
the womanly functions, abolishes pain and builds up and
puts the finishing touch of health on every weak woman
who gives it a fair trial.
It Makes Weak Women Strong,
Sick Women Well.
