The State also loses one who | stood high In the diocese and whose Opinion! were listened to with the profoundeat attention and respected by all who knew the man. Sunday morning at The Church ' of the Holy Comforter, Bishop Guer "y, who conducted the services took occasion to remark upon the long and successful administration of Mr. Covington as rector of the church. Bishop Guerry called attention to the fact that Mr. Covington had now been in Bumter between twelve and thir? teen years, that he had been very suc? cessful in his work, increasing the number of member-; of the church more than fourfold, and in every way .proving himself a go' I rector. The speaker stated that Ml Covington had shown great ability in the discharge of his duties and that he had risen high in the esteem of the diocese, and had held high positions in the Dio? cesan Councils. Bishop Guerry in closing his remarks stated that if ever, for any reason, Mr. Covington should wish to leave the diocese of Southern Virginia and return to this State, that there would always be a place here which could be found for him. In the afternoon at five o'clock a baptismal service was held In the nature of a compliment to Mr. Cov? ington. There were a number of children in the congregation who had not been baptised and all of the par? ents wanted them baptized by Mr. Covington before he left. There were nine baptized at the service, ( Mr. Covington In leaving Sumter goes to St. Paul's Church, Norfolk, Virgin.a.

And the secret is a wonderfully simple and harmless combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen. An apparatus has been invented and is now a part of the equipment of The Sumter Dental Parlors in which these gases are mixed. The patient admin? isters it himself and does not for one second lose consciouness but does lose all sen? sibility to pain. In fact all during the operation of drilling into a sensative. tender tooth, the patient may converse with the dentist, laugh and in fact enjoy the most pleasant of sensations. This wonderful accomplishment of science is known as the analgesia state and a patient can be kept under this pleasant influence for any length of time and without experiencing the slightest after affect. Thus is the den? tist chair robbed of all its horrors, and those of nervous temperment need never again fear the torture of pain which has accompanied a visit to the Dentist's office. This Perfectly Harmless Analgesia is Endorsed and Recom mended by the Leading Physicians of the Country, Dr. Courtney had the pleasure of attending a series of clinics in Atlanta a few weeks ago given by Drs. Gardner and Parker of Chicago, demonstrating the new machine recently invented for the administering of these gases for the painless operations of all kinds of dental work. There is no doubt in the world about this wonderful discovery being a great boon and blessing to suffering humanity and wc invite every one to our office who may have dental work to do where we will gladly prove to their entire satisfaction that PAIN IN DENTAL WORK IS A THING OF THE PAST. And this by an absolutely harmless method containing no bad after effect whatever. i The Scientitic Gas Ap? paratus which has made Painless Dentistry pos? sible.
