Tugaloo, November 9.-Special: One of the saddest events that has occurred here in several years was the death of Miss Anna Moore, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Moore. On the morning of Novem ber 6, at 2 o'clock, she quietly and peacefully breathed her last. She was only twenty years of age and died after an illness of five weeks, lt does not seem real that, one so young must be taken away with that dreaded disease, heart failure, but such was the case. She seemed to have been forewarn ed of heaven several days prevjpus to her death, for, even before t&?fiPhy clans lost hope, she called tKem all to her' bed-side and bade t hem meet her in heaven. She was the incarna tion of goodness and purity, and bore up cheerfully to the end, for death had no "sting" for her. She was the only girl and the idol of the family. In August of this year she united with the Liberty Baptist church and has, at all times, lived up to her pro fession. In her we have lost one of our dearest friends, and we feel lt deeply, but we aro somewhat com pensated in the assurance that, though it is our loss, it is heaven's gain. There is a vacancy in our hearts that cannot be filled,yet where she is most grievously missed is In the home, for she was an obedient and loving daughter, a true and af fectionate sister. Her remains wore interred in the Unity cemetery Thursday at noon. The father, mother, three brothers and many sorrowing relatives and friends have our sincerest sympathy. A Friend. How to Cure a Cold. Be as careful as you can you will occasionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliabil ity, one that has an established re putation and that is certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine ls Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by its remarkable cures of this most common ailment, and can always be depended upon. It acts on nature's plan, relieves the lungs,aids expecto ration, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring tho system to a healthy condition. Durlug the many years In which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of a single caee of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used, which showB conclusively that lt is a certain pre ventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy con tains no opium or other narcotic and maybe given as confidently to a baby as to ah a^ult. For sale by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney.Seneca.
