On January 2d 1 was called to Goodwin to conduct the funeral of Mrs. M. O An Irtiwson. She was born in the State of Missouri, Mirch 7. 1872. Her maiden name was Cora 0 Stafford. She was mar ried to M O. Andrewson February 22. 189:?, and they moved, first to the lnd'im Territory and thence to Arkansas in 189<i, and lived in anil near Goodwin. From tliis place. Decemtier 29. 189S. she pas-ed away to live in another world. When she expired. Harlan Hobson, her little son. just me month old, lay a motherless infant in its cradle When the little one was but (wo weeks old the mother had an attack of spinal meningitis, winch assumed the torni of typhoid fever, and her delicate frame \ ieided In death after a fortnight of pa tient suffering. Mrs. Andrewson was converted when a child under the preaching of a Methodist minister, hut united with the Congrega tiouallat church, from which site held a certificate of inemlietship. According to Hie testimony of those who knew her best she was a true Christian She was a comparative stranger in our Slate, lint her good sense and good qual ities soon endeared her to her new neigh tmrs. by whom she was considered an ex cellent woman and held in high esteem. To her husband site was a most precious companion. Patient, self-denying and hopeful, she was a stay to him he will sorely miss. And fo lay the sacred form of his dear wife in the grave was a trial the grief-stricken husband bore only by the grace of Divine compassion. But tlie teals of sorrow had hardly ceased to flow when his heart was broken alresli by the death of ins infant boy, just twenty days after tlie mother was taken. As if impatient for its mother, who de layed her coming. Jesus, the friend of lit tle childieii, hastily came to its relief, and Imre it away to its mother's bosom On January 19th 1 was called to conduct its luneral. and we laid the little form by it* moihei's side. There they sleep and rest. The father and one little girl, in tears and sorrow, travel alone. But by and by they all will meet again in a permanent home and m a land without strangers. W. C.

At the last meeting of the City Conn ed i he duds indulged in a bit of class legislation by p issing a resolution re quiring W. S. Durborow to chain Ins champion hull dog.

Ike Isaacs, late of the Eighth regular infantry, stationed in Cuba, came in Saturday night and spent several davs with parents and other relatives ami friends. He is a hero of the battles of Santiago, Ei Caney and others, and is an 'interesting narrator of the many thrilling experiences which our boys had while licking the dons.

When a man crossing some cifScnlt place in ’his working career; spurring ; all his energies to accomplish some critical passage in his business jour ney. suddenly finds his health -giving way and ; f e e 1 s himsekf 'swept out of the isaddle by the swift-running current of dis ease—then is the time when the marvelous reiuvenatrng properties ol dt. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will prove an unfailing means of rescue and restoration. It is a very simple though eminently scientific medicine. It is not a mere stim ulant like so many malt extracts. It re stores healthy power by reviving the in nermost sources of vitality in the nutritive system. It enables the digestive and Wood - making organism to manufacture good blood abundantly and rapidly, so that the immense waste of tissue and nerve fiber entailed by hard labor is offset by a speedy upbuilding of fresh energy and strength. A prominent nnd venerable Illinois physician, D Vowles. M D , of Fowler. Aanms Co., writing to Dr. Pierce, says: ” I send herewith thirty-one (vi cents in stamps for ’ The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser' in cloth bind ing With this pittance for so valuable a work (truly a gift to the public), I must express my high appreciation of the vast amount of good that you have rendered the public. A correct measure of your gat lulue.ss never has been, end uever will be estimated by the public: no, not even by the muUitu4e of afflicted humanity that has been relieved and cured by your medi cines. Wherever 1 go or have been in the United States. 1 find persons who have used, nnd are using Dr. Pierce's medicines with satisfac tion. for all conditions for which they are recom mended. Never has one spoken disparagingly of their action, and from having seen so often their good effects. I am also enthused with con fidence in their action in cases and conditions for which they are recommended. It is not common for regular physicians to endorse and recommend proprietary medicines, but in this ca«e I have no equivocation or hesitancy in so doing.” The quick constipation • cure — Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.
