The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, May 25,1904. I2T LOVING MEMORY OF LITTLE Mary Olive Hedgepath, - v- v x DAV^HJER OF MR. AND MRS;%. 0. HEDGEPATH, DIED MAY 8, 1904, BY ONE WHO LOYED HER. 2?y Baby. Such a little break in the sod! ^ Vva o rrrvy iro ' OU UUY HJ L?c a ?,j.uiv. Oh! how can I render so soon to God. The beautiful gift he gave? Must I put you awayv-^ny pet? My tender bud unblown ? "With the dew of the morning upon you yet, And your blossom all unshown? My heart is near to break, For the voice I shall not hear, For the clinging arms around my neck, And the footsteps drawing near. The tiny, tottering feet, Striving for mother's knee, For the lisping tones so sweet, And the baby's kiss to me. For the precious mother name. And the touch of the little hand, O! am I so very much to blame If I shrink from the sore demand? How shall I know her voice, Or the greeting of her eyes, 'Mid the countless cherubs that rejoice, In the gardens of Paradise? How shall I know my own, Where the air is white with wings? My babe, so soon from my bosom flown, To the angels' musterings? % V M And this is the end of it all! Of my waiting and my pain? Only a little funeral pah, And empty arms again. O. baby! ray heart is sore For the love that was to be. For the untried dream of love, now o'er, 'Twixt thee, my child, and me. Yet over this little head, Lying so still on ray knee, I thank ray God for the bliss of the dead, For the joy of the soul set free. An angel came one solemn night, Heaven's glory to bestow, And take our darling from our sight; What could we, Lord, at morning light, But weep, and let her go? How dark the day that followed That dreary night of pain; Those eyes now closed, and nevermore To open here again. "Dear Lord," we said, with broken speech. Grant we may love thee more For this new jewel in the crown Where we had two before!" Aunt Hassie.

It is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that is not altogether true. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troubles. Thousands can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. VanMetre, of Shepherdtown, W. Ya.. says: "I had a severe case of Bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard of but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery then cured me absolutely." It's infallible for Croup, "Whooping Cough. Grip. Pneumonia and Consumption. Try it. It's guaranteed by The Kaufman Drug Co., druggists. Trial bottles free. Regular sizes 50c. and $1.00. A ncorrn in EIIhtt rountv. Ga.. was literally blown to pieces by dynamite some time ago.

Ladies and Children who can not stand the shocking strain of laxative syrups and cathartic pills are especially fond of Little Early Risers.

' I had a bad case of piles," says G. F. Carter, of Atlanta, Ga., "and consulted a physician who advised me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. I purchased a box and was entirely cured. It is splendid for piles, giving relief instantly. and I heartily recommend it to all sufferers." DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is unequalled for its healing qualities. Eczema and other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, burns and and wounds of every kind are quickly cured by it. Sold by all druggists. J. Laurie Patterson was shot and killed recently as he vfas entering his yard at Fort Mill. Before dying he charged W. E. Deaton with the crime, and Deaton ha- been arrested. Patterson leaves a wife and a daughter. A Startling Test. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt. of No. Mehoopany. Pa., made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so. I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack in 14 months.''

I ?I??????? The Age of Love. Professor Bell, of Clark university, bas recently been engaged in the collection of data as to the age at which people love with the greatest ardor, with the result that he now announces his conclusions as follows: The maturity of a woman's love is reached at the age of 22. A man loves most etrenously at an average age of 24 All of which is very important if true. Here is a tip if followed religously by young men and young women will give them the completest fullest heart's desire. If a young man forma an attachment for a girl before he is 24 be may I kuow it is not the real thing. He must shake it c ff and wait. But if during the 24th year be developes a passion he may know that his fate is upon him. So with the young woman. When she feels a flatter in her heart region under 22 she may be assured is not the thing that lasts. And as she approaches 22 she may know she is approaching a crisis. Lucky for her if her 22nd year is leap year. [Girls, be not worried about scientific theories concerning the time for love. Be guided by the dictates of your own heart, and when seme good, honest, big hearted young man "pops the question," throw theory to the dogs and if you love him say so. rrti r\ _ l i ? me j-JBvn j The gveat home medicine, Horehound, Mullein and Tar, cures that cough and cold.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. f- , The kidneys are your j v blood purifiers, they fil- I } ter out the waste or / impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do | their work. Pains, aches and rheu- ; matism come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary trrtnKlf>e- wp.rf. tn hf. trar^d tn lhf?. kirinnv but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble. If you arc sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits - by all druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar siz-s es.
