C. 7 ho had brought to a glorious conclu sion the labor which his Heavenly Father had assigned to him, that he had gone to his reward, and that his place in the hearts of the thousands who had been blessed by his life ought never to be filled. They were to find someone who was to carry on the work and fulfill so far as possible the ideals of the founder of the institu- tion. Immediately after Dr. Jacobs’ death the management of the orphanage was temporarily assumed by the local board, .the chairman of which was Mr. J. f F. Jacobs, Sr., Dr: Jacobs’ oldest fon. As soon as possible, a meeting of the trustees was held, and at this meeting Rev. Wm. States Jacobs, D. D.,-of Houston, Texas, was chosen as his father’s successor. The call was sent to him at once, and along with this call went an appeal from the elders and deacons of the First Pres byterian church of Clinton, which his father had served as pastor for forty- seven years, asking that he accept the position and pledging him their* c 0 r- ;tm durjn(t the 8ummcr and* winter dial support.

Perhaps it might be well here to give for the benefit of those who read this article some short account of the man thus chosen to a place of so great responsibility. L. Ross Lynn was born on a farm in Tipton county, Tennessee, 30 miles north of Memphis, on March 7, 1s75« In other words, he is just about as old as the orphanage, itself. His par ents, John Wilson Lynn and Margaret Ellen Mcdain Lynn, were descendants of Scotch-Irish and. Scotch who set tled jn Chester county, S. C., and Wax- haw, N. C. The grandparents on both sides were among the earlier members of what came to be a large and influ ential Associate Reformed Presbyter ian church by the name of Salem, neaif Atoka, Tenn. His parents were of the “catechism Blonde Bess Opines —- “There is only one knocker that our bossk pays any attention to—that’s Opportunity.” What They Are For Blivens: “Bill Harpan is going to build a new home. Says he is going to have a den on the second floor.” Mrs. B.: “Well, he needs it.

C., affectionately as Captain Al., comes out and de clares that Karnak, the sensational new medicine being featured here, is undoubtedly the greatest medi cine that has ever been known. “I would call it the^’King of Medicines’,” declares Captain AL “Yes, sir, I tell the boys at the Fire Igall that since I have taken Kar nak I am the youngest man on the floor, even if I am 53 years old. “I have had dyspepsia and indi gestion for the past five years and it certainly kept me feeling mis erable. Soon after eating, my stomach would feel all upset.. My food would sour and cause gas to form that would bloat me up uatik I could hardly get my breath m times. I tried all aorta of medi cines, but nothing did mo any good. “A friend told me about Karnak and the quick way it brought me relief was the surprise of my Ufa. “Why, I hadn’t taken Karaak any time before every sign of in digestion and dyspepsia was gone and I was eating any and every^ thing I wanted without any dis tress afterward. Such food as cab bage that I wouldn’t dare to eat before I took JCernak, I now eat' any time, and enjoy it—why, every thing tastes good. I took Karnak Pills, too, and I want to tell you, they are splendid. “Yes, sir, it is a genuine pleas ure for me to recommend such a wonderful medicine.” Karnak is sold in Clinton exdn- lively by Sadler-Owens Pharmacy, and by the leading druggist in every town. 1 "-"L .

WHAT IX) P. S. and management of the orphanage continued in the hands of the local board. These men who had been the staunch supporters of Dr. Jacobs through the important years which saw the founding and the gradual de velopment of the institution now wil lingly did what they could to carry on the work until it could be placed in the hands of some man who could devote his whole time to it. The feel ing grew, however, as the months went by, that this work, required the full, time of some earnest, consecrated | man, and while some progress was Night Phone 205 or 24 |niade ( amon g other things, the con tract for the Turner Dining Hall was let and work begun on this dining plant), still they felt'that for the. good of the institution some strong hand should be at the helm. On June 11, 1918, the regular an nua} meeting of the Board of Trustees of Thomwell Orphanage was held in the Nellie : Scott library, its usual place of meeting. This was the first regu lar nmeeting of the board from which its founder had been absent, and a spirit of sadness came over the mem bers as they thought of the one who was gona; and a spirit of solemnity was also felt^as they realized the im portance of the duty before them—the selection of his successor. Reports were heard as to what had been done by the local board since they had been in charge; other rou tine- work was taken up and gotten ■ out of the way, and then came the j.mQSf important task, possibly, % which the board had ever faced. | It is not necessary here to give in detail all that fbok place between the hours of 3 p. m., June 11, and 2 a. m., June 12, when the election was finally completed.

My head would ache and 1 was in a very bad fix. “1 had tied remedies that didn’t seem to do me any good. 1 saw Black-Draught advertised and sent for it.- “After taking a few doses, I knew it was helping me.

He worked hard both in college and in seminary, and was chosen faculty speaker upon his graduation.. In the seminary he was trained by such men as Webb, Price, Alexander and Fogartie. In 1915, he was honored with the degree of D. D.; from his Alma Mater. He was ordained to the ministry in the First church of Savannah, Ga., in November, 1898, and installed as pastor of the church at Darien, Ga., in 1 December of that year. After a pleas ant pastorate of three'years he took charge of a home mission group in Suwannee Presbytery, Fla., composed of High Springs and MikeSVlllfc. On November 14, 1901, he was mar ried to Miss Edith Dewese, of Bright on, Tenn.

Tjiis was the most important pastorale, and hi held it for nine years until he gave up this work to assume the presidency of the orphanage.
