Duchamp, who leaves a young wi dow and two small children. Theobald was only 32 years and 3 mouths old, but afflicted with dispepsia, Was a constant sufferer. He was quiet and untssumihg in his manners, of gentle land sweet dispositions, he was kind to every body. He was a respectful son, a true husband and a loving father, he Was, in fact a man who lived ex clusively for his family, and with his family\ and though he valued the esteem and company of his friends, was never so hsppy as when in his little home. He was buried at half past four o'clock Sunday evening, and his remains wete followed to the grave by a very large concoerse of rela tives and friends. A good friend, a loving son, and a true husband and father has gone to his toward above, and we know it will be one of eternal joy, for all his deeds in this wot*ld, were for good. My son has been troubled for years with chronic diarrhoea. Sometime ago I persuaded him to take some of Cham berlain's Colic. Cholera and biarthoea Remedy. After Using two bottles if the 25-cent size he Was cured. I tive this testimonial, hoping sOme one similarly afflicted may read it and be benetted. thomas C. Bower, Oleneoe, 0. tor sale by T. J.
