the operation and his condition is
regarded as extremely critical. A tel

there has been no change for the bet
ter, and practically no hope is enter

to be greatly depressed. Our people
are yet hoping that a change will
come for the better and that Mr. Cog
burn will rally.

died last night at 9:30 o'clock, no an

The will of the lamented Mr. N. L.

tween Miss Kellah Fair and Mr. D.
D. Brunson. Mr. Branson made a

from girlhood has been such a faith
ful servant and friend of the family.
In the illness of the other members of
the family, as well as during Mr

untiring in ministering to them. Du
ring the weary hours of the night, as

loyalty and faithfulness are greatly
pleased that Mr. Brunson thus took
recognition of this faithfulness and
rewarded Lucy.

continues Mrs. Burnett
"After my first bottle, I slept
better and ate better. I took
four bottles. Now I'm well,
feel just fine, eat and sleep,
my skin ls clear and I hare
gained and sure feel that
Cardul ls the best tonic ever
made."
