The death of Dr. E. Cowart, Lincoln's
Representative In the Legislature,
occurred at his home on Fair River
last Thursday night, after a long
and trying Illness of dropsy and
Bright’s disease. An extended tribute
to tbe deceased physician and legtsla
lator, so well known and highly esteem
ed by many, is given by our Fair River
correspondent. He was buried on
Friday at Pleasant Grove Church with
Masonic honors, Rev. R. J. Itoone
officiating as W. M. and conducting
the bnrial services in an impressive
manner. „
The vacancy in the Representative’s
office caused by tbe death of Dr.
Cowart will not be filled, unless the
Governor should find it necessary to
call an extra session of the Legislature
before the first Tuesday in January,
1900, and then he will order a special
flection for that purpose.

Mrs. Mary Van and Mr. Win.

Bro. Jeems must bear in mind that
Dr. Davis has only promised those

Dr. Davis has made a mistake as to
which of the Reporter's got the pills.
But Sawdust is improving rapidly un
der the treatment of Dr. Scarborough.
Rev. Mr. Boone preached an inter
esting sermon here last Thursday
night to a small congregation. It be
came necessary for us to do as Joshua
said : “Choose whom you will serve.”
The congregation was divided; some
chose to serve God, while others were
enticed to attend the wedding. The
few that attended church heard one of
the most interesting sermons that has
ever been preached in Wellman.

in the question of water works and
electric Ugbt*. The -followingdelegs
Hon of her representative citizen*
came down to Brookhaven Monday
evening to inspect the .system of
which all Brookhavebites are so
justly prond : H. M. Buckley, Mayor;
H. A. Earns, A. T. Woodin, John F.
Thompson, Aldermen ; Dr. A. Fairly.
Clark of the Board ; L. J. Weathersby.
City Marshal; W. A. Parker, editor of
the Mirror; Dr. W. L. Little, U. S.
Purser, R. M. McDonald and J. P.
Rembert. The delegation were met at
the train by Mayor Daughtry, Alder
men Seavey, Perkins, Engineer Jack
son and others, and escorted to the
water works and electric light plant,
where they were shown . through and
all the details bf the system, cost,
etc., thoroughly explained to them.
They were also given an exhibition of
the value of the water works as a Are
extinguisher, by a display with the
hose kept at the power bouse.
After inspecting the plant the visit
ors returned to town and were royally
entertained at supper at McClendon A'
Powell’s restaurant. Here the social
and convivial spirit reigned supreme
and Brookhaven (Cnd Wesson felt
nearer like real sisters probably than
ever before. Besides the special
guests of the occasion, those who sat
down to the bountifully laden board
were the following: Mayor J. B.
Daughtry, Aldermen Seavey and Per
kins, City Treasurer Heuck, City Mar
shal Hurst, City Engineer Jackson,
City Attorneys ChriSman A Brennan,
Prof. Wilson and the editor of The
Leader.
After supper the visitors were given
an apportunity to view the arc streets
lamps and were shown throagh some
of the principal business houses of the
city lighted with the incandescent*.
Some of the visitors who were mem
bers of the mystic order attended the
meeting of the Masonic Lodge, which
was in session, and in this and other
ways the time was pleasantly whiled
away until the 11 night o'clock traiu
arrived, when they boarded It for
home, enthusiastic in their admira
tion of Brookhaveu's improvements
and many evidences of progress. That
they will make a favorable report to
their own fellow-townsmen we believe
will go without the saying.

writes: "For twenty-seven years I bad been
a constant sufferer from nervous prostra

alarming; the least noise would startle and
unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, bad a
number of sinking spells and slowly grew
worse. I began using l>r. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first
the medicine seemed to have no effect, but
after taking a few bottles I began to notice
a change; I rested better at night, my appe

better, until now I am as nearly restored
to health as one of my age may expect. God

DEATH or DB. E. (SlWART.
After six months of much suffering
and pain, Dr. E. Cowart breathed his
last March 10, 1696, at his home on
Fair River, in the 63rd year of his age.
He was buried the day following at
Pleasant Grove Church, of which he
was a member, under the auspioes of
the Masonic fraternity.
Too much cannot be said in
praise of the family as well as his
neighbors for faithful service rendered
during his protracted illness. Dr.
Cowart was of honorable parentage.
He was a member of the State Legis
lature at the time of his death, and for
his long and faithful service in the
practice of medicine, had gained an
innumerable host of friends. He was a
man of strong convictions ; and doubt
less inherited much of his enthusiasm
and public spirited nature from his
father, who it is said was one of the
noblest-spirited men in Marion county,
where he resided, and having a per
sonal acquaintance with his mother,
who was a sister of Capt. R. O. Byrne,
I can truthfully say she was a good
Christian lady. He was a brother of
Mr. E. O. Cowart and Dr. B. B
Cowart, of Monticello, two of the most
honored citizens of Lawrence county.
His deeds of charity are known and
felt in many homes where his time and
generous aid have driven away want
and many there be who feel had it not
been for Dr. Cowart they too would be
in their graves.
It is my pleasure and a duty I owe to
the afflicted to bear my testimony to the
fact that Smith’s Sure Kidney
Cure will do all and more than you
claim for it. Aside from being a “sure
kidney cure,” it will cure any inflam
mation wherever located. As a remedy
for piles, soreness in the chest,stomach,
and bowels, it affords immediate re
lief and effects a permanent cure,
