It is n a long lane that has no turning and every cloud no matter how dark it may appear, has its silver lining. *s * ' Mrs. Frank Carwile was able to attend preaching at Shiloh Sunday for the first time since her recent ^ illness. Her friends were glad to see her able to be out oncemore. W. B. Mann and wife were to see ;o us Tuesday for the first time since n the woods were burnt?some of w them. Rev. Martin preached on the text "Whatsoever ye do, do it to the ts glory of God." If we had done so [t we would not have so many troubles ie constantly with us and the great d world-wide war would not be raging in all of its fury. There is a day coming when all this will have to be it accounted for and manjr will be n found wanting. In all we do let us o try to emulate the example laid down bv the ereat apostle. In the death of Mrs. M. C. Gary is Abbeville county loses one of her f most noble ladies. She raised a f family of sons of which any mother , e might be proud for well have they worn the ermine and adorned the " bench of our beloved State. As a :s shock of corn she has been gathered in her season, after having lived more than the alloted time to man. V y A gentleman told ua every German in America should be put in a 1_ pen and kept there until the war is r" over. We agree with him about e three thirds of the way. Some scoun1. drel who should be in Satan's clutches posted the low-down cut throat, II incendiary outraging, dirt eating , child murdering, scamps about the . approach of the Tuscania in which t some of our noble soldiers went to ^ a watery grave. Young man, shoul!q der your gun and go to the protec I tion of our country, our woman and children and everything that is dear j to America. The liberties of our e nation are hanging in the balance ^ and it is going to take man power to ^ crush the old scoundrel of a Kaiser 1 and German militarism but it will be done and don't you forget it, for civilization! is sure to triumph in the y j end.

It is go- / ing to make us humble and feel more dependent upon our Creator. The rule of one family is going to be crushed and no one man will say ^ to a nation, g:o to wa* at his commnd. The soldiers when they return are goini; to be the future rulers of this country. There will be a president who will spring from this ^ war and office:}, from governor down to coroner will be held by the boys who went to the front and never wavered when their country's honor was at stake. If we are gone remember what we told you in 1918. Don't forget the poor unfortunate girl, Claudia Knight. Missions are at our doorsteps, you do not have to go to China to find them. It is never too late. Remember the thief oxi the cross. "Rescue the perishing, lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save." Pratice wha-; you preach, for this is pure and undefiled religion. Convinced of Tanlac By Aiicl Given Wife HUSBAND SAYS SHE ADDED FIFTEEN POUNDS ON FOUR BOTTLES. Cases in which two or more people in the same family have been so greatly benefited by Tanlac that they have offered a double endorsement of this famous Master Medicine are common. Whon you see a person relieved of wittering and made f stiong again, it is the most natural thing in the world for you to want the same benefits. This is how Charles E. Whitmore, of 103 Bradford St, Albany, N. Y., happened to : tal:e Tanlac. i 'My wife, who had been all run tfovn and nervous and getting weaker right along, began to take Tanlac," Mr. Whitns.ore explained. "Well of course, I watched the results, and it was wonderful to see the way it burlt her up. On four bottles she ^ gained fifteen pounds. I had' been doubtful about Tanlac, but that settled me. When I started Tanlac I could hardly eat one good meal in a whole week. Prom suffering with a bad stomdch I had become nervous and restless at night and all rur. down. InsUead of digesting, my food would just lie like lead on my stomach and sour and ferment and form gas. Because I had sour stomach?acid stomach?so long, my mouth -had gotten sore. I could not sleep restfully, but would wake up every hour or two and would roll and toss. I was tire^ in the morn- 1 ing, and by mid-afternoon I was so tired out it seemed I couldn't get +ViT?f?iitrV> flip Hnv. I had lost all am-| bition, and I did "not care. Seeing what Tanlac had done for my wife encouraged me to take it, and I was not surprised when . it began to brace me up right away. It did as much for me as it did for her. I slept right through the night, woke up rested, with a good appetite, and was able to enjoy my meals. My food digested and the gas, bloating and sour stomach disappeared. I felt like a new man, and the old tireil, worn-out feeling went with the rest of my troubles." v , ^Tien Mr. Whitmores stomach became weak, his system probably began to clog with waste matter.
