The following is a very simple
and at the same time a sure cure
for the small-pox, and when used
not a single case died: Use free
ly every day common epsom salt,
rubbing the body thoroughly with
a mixture of sulphur and lard.
This will keep the patient from
being pitted when suffering with
the small-pox.

tended the dance at Wiville Fri

Among other things worthy of
note to take place at the Reunion
at Memphis is the fact that very
little money need be spent for
eatables by the ladies while
there, providing they can digest
“hot cakes” and drink a good
cup of coffee. Pargason and
Goyer have expressed them
selves anxious to supply the vis
iting ladies with batter-cakes
and syrup.
Some of McCrory’s young men
committed a very cowardly act
the first of the week. About
eight got clubs and chased one
poor little rabbit, under the side
walk just south of the railroad
where they surrounded Mr. Rab
bit Indian fashion and indulged
in various kinds of war-whoops.
We fail to learn whether or not
the rabbit was captured and
scalped.

per it will be served at the Wa

LEE COOK, DEAD!
Tuesday morning May 14,
1901, Lee Osier Cook, beloved
husband of Sarah Josephine
Cook, was called for by the
white-robed boatman angel to
cross over with him to the shores
of eternity.
And such is the immutable
decree of Providence. It’s in
forcement at times may and
does, seem cruel, and premature,
and the heart strings of the be
reaved are severely tested. The
loved and loving husband died
when manhood’s morning almost
touches noon, and while the shad
ows still were falling to the west.
He was a dutiful and affectionate
companion, a loving brother, and
a constant and zealous friend.
He was the life, light and good
cheer of a happy home; the com
fort, confident and idol of a de
voted wife.
Lee Cook was born in Marshall
'county Tenn., May 21st, 1872.
| In December of the same year
his parents moved to Crockett
county, Tenn., here they resided
for the following 16 years.
Prom there the family moved to
Wynne, Cross county, Ark.,
where they have since resided.
In September 1896, Lee was
united in marriage with Miss
Sarah Josephine Rushing at
Abertine, Texas, and for a time
after the ceremony, resided at
Wynne. His married life
though of short duration was
sweet and full of sunshine. While
yet in love with life and rapured
with the world, for he had just
reached the point in life which
he had sought so much, he pass
ed to silence and pathetic dust.
“Yet after all, it may be best,
just in the happiest, sunniest
hour of all the voyage. For
whether in mid sea or among
the breakers of the father shore,
a wreck at last must mark the
end of each and all. And every
lise no matter if its hour is rich
with love and every moment
jeweled with joy, will at its close
become a tragedy as sad and
deep and dark as can be woven
of the warp and woof of mystery
and death”
In 1899 Mr. Cook moved
to McCrory where he has re
sided since. He was 28 years,
11 months and 24 days of age.
His remains were taken to
Wynne for interment Wednes
day morning, obsequies taking
place at 2 p. m. of the same day.
