Whereas, our Heavenly Father has seen fit to remove from our midst one of our charter members, Bro. B. G. Wilburn, one whose interest in our chapter knew no bounds, one who zealously worked to promote the principles for which our order stands, and one whose faithfdl attendance on our meetings attested the faith that was in him. Therefore, we deem it fitting that by resolution in our meeting assembled, we pay tribute to his faithfulness, and endeavor to express, in a measure, the sense of loss we feel by this testimony of regret. "For it is written in Heaven What he has given; Placed on the records in letters of gold; Read by the spirits Judge of merits, Some dav his name to us all will be told." Therefore be it resolved: 1st. That in the passing of our | brother we feel our great loss. That I we shall hold as sacred the tender memories of our past associations, and that we shall ever be grateful for the help he has given us; Jnd. That we tender to his family assurance of our sympathy in their great bereavement. That we remind them that "He who tempers the wind I to the shorn lamb" looks down with infiinite compassion in the hour of their desolation, and that He will fold His arms of love and protection around those who put their trust and faith in Him; 'Ird. That a page he inscribed in our record hook to his memory; that a copy of these resolutions he given to his family; that a copy be sent to our county papers for publication, and that as a further mark of respect we ask their adoption by a rising vote. Respectfully, M rs. Mary P. llollis, Mrs. Kate Alverson, W. P. Patton. THE WHITE CARNATION. Here's to the White Carnation, Sturdy and spicy and sweet, Wafting a breath of perfume On the stony way of the street, Bringing a freight of gladness Wherever the breezes blow; Here's to the white carnation Pure as the virgin snow. This is the flower for mother, Wear it on Mother's Day; Flower for rain and sunshine, Winsome and gallant and gay. Wear it in mother's honor, Pinned on the coat's lapel; Wear it in belt and corsage For her who has loved you well. So here's to the white carnation, Wear it on mother's day; Flower that blooms for mother, Winsome and gallant and gay, Flower of a perfect sweetness, Flower for hut and hall, Here's to the white carnation, And to mother?our best of all. ?Margaret Sanster. m b rcale Shorts, 5c yd.

WooreU, policeman, who has been an officer at Florence for ten years, said to the demonstrator of Waco Tonic, "My wife has been a sufferer for several years with Stomach Trouble, Indigestion, Nervousness and Female Weakness. She underwent two serious operations and used a number of advertised remedies and had the best of medical skill to treat her, and in all this she only got partial relief. She has now used one bottle of Waco Tonic, and I can say it did her more good than everything else we did for her. I am glad VOUr wnnHprfnl Ri>mwli?a t*ia,ra <?"" put in our reach. I do not hesitate to say it is the best medicine ever introduced in our town, and I know that a trial of Waco Tonic will convince the most skeptical that it is a reliable medicine. I also used it myself and i find that Waco Tonic will do all it is i recommended to do."
