Pastor o! Baptist Church at Hick
ory Snccambs to Illness of
Several Weeks-Was Well
Known in Gastonia The
Funeral.
Much sorrow was occasioned
in Gastonia by the announce
ment Sunday that Rev. Dr. W.
R. Gwallney, pastor of the Bap
tist church at Hickory and well
known here, had died at his
home early Sunday morning
Having visited Gastonia often
be was known to many here and
his friends were numbered as
were bis acquaintances. Rev
W. H. Reddish, Miss Mattie
Moore and Mr. and Mrs. J. C
Moore went to Hickory vester-
day morning to attend the fu
neral. The following account
of his illness and death and
sketch of his life is from the
Hickory correspondence of The
Charlotte Observer of yesterday:
"The people throughout the
city of all denominations, as well
as his own church followers,
mourn the death of Rev. Dr. W
R,. Gwaltney, the much beloved,
saintly and able minister, in his
71st year, who answered death
call at 1 o clock this morning at
his home on Eleventh avenue,
after several days of intense
suffering. D r . Gwaltney's
death will bring sadness to many
of his old comrades as well as to
the Baptists throughout the
State, among whom he had so
long and earnestly labored in be
half of the Master's cause.
"Mr. Gwaltney, being a North
Carolina subject, volunteered at
the beginning of the
war and spent four years
of the early part of bis fiftv
years of ministerial life as
chaplain in the Confederate
Army, ministering to his com
rades by whom he was so much
devoted. The aged clergyman
was recognized as one of the
ablest men among the Baptist of
North Carolina, having served
for a number of years as trustee
both of the Baptist University
for Women and of Wake Forest
College as well as in other offices,
where his wise judgment and
foresight were sought after.
"Dr. Gwaltney located in Hic
kory in the early 90's and under
bis leadership his church had
continued to grew, and within
the last few years has erected one
of the finest Baptist church edi
fices in the State.
"He leaves a widow and large
family of children to mourn his
death five daughters and four
sons all of whom were by his
bedside in his dying hours.They
are Mrs. F. L. Crutchfield, of
Spartanburg, S. C. ; Miss Min
nie Gwaltney, of Wake Forest;
Mrs. K. C. Menzies, Misses
Pauline and Katherine Gwalt
ney, of Hickory: Mr. Will
Gwaltney, of Atlanta; Robert
Gwaltney, of Wilmington ;E. C.
Gwaltney and Philip Gwaltney.
of Winnsboro, S. C. The fu
neral will take place tp-morrow
at Z o'clock from the church
nere wbere he has been pastor
since its erection, and the re
mains will be laid to rest in the
amily plot in Oakwood Ceme
tery. Much sympathy is felt
here for the bereaved family.

Guarantee on Hyomei, Cure
lor Catarrh.
The question having been
raised as to.wbether or no J, H.
Kennedy will refund the money
if a Hyomei outfit does not do
all that is claimed for it in cur
ing catarrh, they want to state
positively that this guarantee is
an absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is
best proof that can be offered
as to the curative powers of
Hyomei in all catarrhal troubles
You do not risk a' cent in test
ing its healing virtues, J. ti
Kennedy & Co. take all the
risk.
If you have catarrh, try this
wonderful medicated air of Hy
omei. It does not drug or de
range the stomach, but is
breathed through a neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every
outfit, so that its medication
reaches the most .. remote air
cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, where any carrbal gejms
may be lurking. It quickly de
stroys them, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane
and vitalizes the tissues so that
catarrh is no longer possible.
You can lose nothing by giving
Hyomei a trial, nothing but :, the
catairh and that is a good rid
dance. -. ' '
The ' price of the complete
outfit is but $1.00 nothing if it
fails to : cure. . Get an outfit
from J. H. Kennedy & Co. ; to
