member. She lived three miles from
the church hut still the distance did
not keep her away from her church
v/lteri she was able to be there. She
did rot have any convenient way to
o but would walk it even through
the heat or cold. She was not only
good to go to her church but was
good to go to other churches, good
to visit the sick or divide her means
, with th'-e who suffered misfortune or
do anything she vould to help the
needy. Aunt Becky will be greatly
missed in her community on ac
count of her kindness to everybody.
She was titvor married and lived a
lonely life. She had been sick for sev
cral jnofwfhs and had boon in the Shel
by hospital for some time before she
died. She said she did not want to
get. well she said she was ready to
meet her Savior, whom she had been
trusting fib for more than fifty ye'ars.
If was her request that Rev. B. M.
Bridges and Rev. I. 1) Harrill conduct
her funeral services and also that,
they sing fl at good, old song ‘Amaz
ing Orace" Her request was carried
out and her body was buried at Pleas*
ant Ridge church near her home. She
had six Sisters and one brother all
>.f whom are dead except one sister,
Mrs. Vatic Greer.. May we all take
warning ami try tn be like Aunt
Becky when the summons comes, be
ready to go. I would say to her only
ister, weep not for her for it will not
be long until you can meet her where
partings come no more on that bright
and happy shore.

MAY PROVE FATAL
When Will Shelby People Learn the
Importance of ft?
_£._
Backache is only a simple thing at
first;
Btit if you find ’tis from the kid
neys;
That serious kidney trouble may
follow;
That dropsy or Bright’s disease may
be the fatal end.
You will be glad to know the fol
lowing experience.
'Tis the statement of a Shelby citi
zen.
Mrs. H. E. Lee, 221 Smith St., says;
“I was troubled with my back and
kidneys. I felt all run down and' tired
out and my work was a burden. When
I bent over, I could hardly straighten
again. I became dizzy and black
specks appeared before my eyes. My
kidneys were weak and there were
other distressing symptoms of kidney
disorder. I used Doan’s Pills and
they helped me frorp the start and
soon entirely cured me.”
