A Timely Admonition.
To Our White Friends: I desire
to respectfully call attention to a
state of affairs that ought not to
exist. Our colored churches are
greatly disturbed by the presence
of colored men who sell liquor on
ior near the church grouuds. These
violators of the law are made
bold io believing that they will
not be punished on account of the
fact that some of them have vio
lated ihe law before, and have got
their white friends to pay them
out of trouble. I make this appeal
to the good white people of the
country to help us to put down
lawlessness among our race. I beg
them to assist us in enforcing the
law. I hope that they will not
countenance nor protect any
colored person who sells whiskey
in violation of the law, and that
they will help us to punish them.
I trust that our white friends will
refuse to pay the fines of any o
the parties who are convected of
disturbing the peace of a commu
uity in this way, and that such
parties will not be able to boast
that they can disregard the law
and that their white friends wil
pay them out. This is addressed
'oour white friends in a mest
respectful way, for the reason that
we wish them to do, as they have
always done, and help us to better
the condition of our race.
Respfctfully,
W. H. Oliphant.
Death of Rev. F. W. Thurmond.
Mr. Editor: Please allow me
space in your columns to annouce
the death of the Rev. F. W. Thur
mond, who departed this life on
*he 9th inst., and was buried at
Shady Grove Baptist church on
the iOth. Long before the ap
pointed hour, the church was
packed and the yard was covered ;
the members of his church and
other 'churches were pouring in
from every direction. I think not
less than 2,000. The 7th chapter
nf Job was read, text Job 14th,
Job 30th, 23rd, Luke 19tp, 13th.
Revs. Peterson, Blocker, Oliphant,
Weaver, Kenner and others. These
servants of God leave a lasting im
pression on their hearers for hon
est living and truthfulnes. Many
rears were shed in the church and
in the yard when the body was
?iven over to the Burying Society
Df Shady Grove; and the Masons
then marched out of the church.
They marched around the grave
and deposited the body. May the
Lord bless his family and church
es. And may they remember 'hat
while it is their loss, it is his
Heavenly gaiu. '

How to Break Up a Cold..
It may be a surprise to many
to learn that a s?teore cold can he
completely brokeftup in one or
two days lime. Th?rst symptoms
of a cold aie a dryV^Joud cough, a
profuse watery discharge from the
nose, and a thin white coating on
the tongue. When Chamberlain's
cough remedy is taken every hour
on the first appearance of these
symptoms, it counteracts the'
effect of the cold and restores the
system to a healthv condition
within a day or two. For sale by
