Mrs. Ver ner was one of the oldest ladies of the county, a devout Christian and a consistent member of the Presbyte rian church, having been ono of the first members of the Retreat church.

Wyly, of Retreat; John D. Verner, Walhalla; Miss Harriett M. Verner, Retreat; H. Crawford Verner, Mar tin. Ga., and William L.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. J. Harrell, pas tor of the Retreat church, and Dr. John G. Law, of Walhalla. Why Colds are Dangerous. Because you have contracted ordi nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not' for a moment Imagine that colds are not dangerous. Every one knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Consumption is not caused by a cold, but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It ls the same with all Infectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks in a cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made lt a staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca.

An Establishment that ts Making Good-A Story with a Moral. - -One day recently two ladles drove ten -niles to Walhaha for the purpose of purchasing "Issaqueua" hosiery, the product of the Oconee Knitting Mill, and they returned each with one dozen pairs. They had pre viously made a trial purchase of this hosiery, and being more thau satis fied With the quality endeavored to secure thc same kind from their near est merchant, but were unable to do so. Then it was they took a drive of ten miles to the home of the "Issa queua" brand and got what they wanted. Probably no piece of goods has gained public favor more rapidly than the Oconee Knitting Mill's "Is saquena" brand hosiery, which has been on the market but a compara tively short while. Another braud that has also "teen most favorably re ceived is tho' "Cotton Blossom" half hose, the product of the same mill. This is finding ready sale locally and at a distance. There is a moral to be drawn from the fact that the two ladies took the trouble to drive far out of their way to got what they wanted, and that is that lt pays a merchant to keep what the people want. But that is not all, asl l< from that being the fact that it is a great deal easier for the merchant to pat ronize the home mills than lt is to buy from distant points. We are too prone to go a long way and get less tor our money than we could at home. The Oconee Knitting Mill is now turning out 700 dozens of pairs of hose and half hose, finished, per day. Tho September sales amounted to a little over 9,000 doyens. On tho 15th of September the trade mark of "Issaquena" was allowed by the gov ernment, and now that brand of the Oconee Knitting Mill's product ls put out under the registered mark. The mill is working full time and giving good employment to many hands. It ls a home Industry that deserves the patronage of the people of Oconee county, and the example set by the two ladles referred to could bo well followed by the public with profit. Patronize your home industries, no mattor in what line. For Chapped Skin.
