A GOOD MAN GONE.
Cap**in William L. Stevens, Ex
Treasurer of Edgerieid County, was
found dead in his bed on la*t Friday
morning. He had retired the evening
before in his usual health, in fa.-t bf
expressed himself as feeling better
than for many days. But the sum
mons caine in the dead watches of the
night, at what precise hour or under
what special circumstances are not
known. We only know that, in the
early morning: he was found dead, dead
with the same smile on his face with
which he was wont to greet bis
friends.
"Old Cap'en Bill," as his friends de
lighted to call him, was sixty-six
years of tge at the time of his death.
He had been County-commissioi er and
Treasurer of ^dgefleld County at dif
ferent periods, with;n interval of only
.four years, since 1876; and these long
years of pub'ic service show with what
hooks of steel be bound his friends to
him and with what loyal affection they
clung to his fortunes.
Ile was one of the few men you
were always glad to meet, there was
such a warmth in the hand-shake and
such a sympathetic ring of good fel
lowship in the voice; and yet those
attributes were not the only ones that
made up the full measure of his popu
larity. He had much of the milk of hu
man kindness in his disposition and
much of that charity which covers a
multitude of sins. If your friend in
proiperity when skies were bright,
much more wa.? he your friend when
the pitiless storms of adversity beat
at your door. Ile never passed by on
the other side when he could relieve
or aid the weak the sufferiug or the
needy ; and, if to have given "acupof
cold water," shall avail anything in
the Great Day, what a host of cup
bearers, what a cloud of witnesses will
"Old Capin Bill" have to stand up for
him at the Grand Assizes and tes.
tify that "he did it also unto us!"
Many many, on this side the Cold
Stream, bid you, old friend, farewell
A word that must be and that hath
been *
A sound that makes us linger,
Yet farewell !

THE TIMES is .1 newspaper for intelligent
men and women who want to read ail the news
of the world every day. The paper has distin
guishing merits of its own. It is neither sen

is .not frivolous or visionary. It sees plenty of
good in the world and tells about it. It tells of
the bad when it must, but not unwholesomely.
Itprints with fullness the record of human en

tics, and war-in literature, religiou, science,

the country prints so man)- book reviews ank so

GOOD FOR EVERYBODY
and everyone needs it 3t all times of the
year. Malaria is always about, and the
only .preventive and relief is to keep the
Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit,
and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIM
MONS LIVER REGULATOR, the RED Z.
Mr. C. Himrod. of Lancaster, Ohio,
says: "SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR
broke a case of Malarial Fever of three
years' standing; for me, and less than
one bottle did the business. I shall use
it when in need, and recommend it."
Be sure that you get it. Always look for
the RED Z on the package. And don't
forget the word REGULATOR, lt is SIM
MONS LIVER REGULATOR, and there is
only ene, and every one who takes it is
sure to be benefited. THE BENEFIT IS
ALL IN THE REMEDY. Take it also for
Biliousness and Sick Headache ; both are
caused by a sluggish Liver.
