Chamberlains Cough
Remedy.
This remedy is intended
especially for coughs, colds,
croup, whooping cough and
influenza. It has become
famous for its cures of these
diseases, over a large part of
the civilized world. The most
flattering testimonials have
been received, giving accounts
of its good works; of the aggra-
vating and persistent coughs it
has cured; of severe colds that
have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of the
dangerous attacks of croup it
has cured, often saving the life
of the child. The extensive
use of it for whooping cough
has shown that it robs that
disease of all dangerous conse
quences. It is especially priz
ed by mothers for their child
ren, as it never fails to effect a
speedy cure, and because they
have found that there is not
the least danger in giving its
even to babies, as it contains
nothing injurious. Sold by B

Albany Public School.
Report of Superintenent for
Sixth month Ending Mar. 3rd.
1899.
During the month the attend-
ance has been more regular
than for the preceding month
and as a result the work of
of the pupils has been more
satisfactory. Most of them
apply themselves to their
studies in a way to indicate that
they have a desire to acquire
knowledge. ,
The discipline throughout
the building has been good
and has been easily maintain-
ed. From careful training
they have formed habits of
punctuality and regularity.
Our exercises the day before
our last holiday served to fix
in the minds of the younger
pupils some important truths
and at the same time afforded
them a pleasant recreation. It
was also a means of bringing
together a number of those
most interested in the school
and for the time fixing their
attention to the children and
the children's work. In the
recent examination the pupils
of the eleventh grade showed
a proficiency not often attended
by pupils of their age. All
those in the class made credit-
able grades and one made an
average of 88 on the seventeen
studies required in first grade
certificate.
In the colored school I find
the teacher, A. C. Lomax, do-
ing good teaching, and the
pupils making satisfactory
progress. His instructions are
according to well approved
methods and his discipline
excellent.
Herewith I add statistical
report of the white school for
the month,
Enrollment, 194; Attendance
Total, 2829; Daily Average,
152; Days Absent, 633; Times

A Tribute to a friend.
Recently I looked on ope.
Who lay as if asleep in
perfect peace,
Her imprisonment for life was
alone.
Eternity's great freedom her
release had brought.
Yet they who loved her calledi
her dead,
And wept, refusing to be
comforted.
A few weeks since th^re
passed from our midst a true
noble woman of rare virtues
whose life was spent in faith-
ful daily response to the call of
love and duty.
Mrs. Mollie McMillan, nee
Mollie Gran, of Stevens county
left this earth for God's blessed
i ealms of peace.

CAUTION
To mourn her absence are
many friends, a husband and
eight children one a wee babe.
The subject of this sketch came
with her husband, Mr. John
McMillan, from Robertson
county to Albany several years
ago, from there they moved to
Haskell, after a brief stay they
returned to Shackelford
thence to Stevens, county,
where she died happy in a
Savior's love,she alwavs seemed
/ %>
happiest when she was at work
for the master whether at home,
church or sabbath school. As
a friend was ever true, as a
neighbor, kind, social and
accommodating, with other
fine qualities and a keen sense
of right. Mrs. McMillan was
a true lover of noble character
and a devoted christian. She
had the perfect mother heart
of pity, of love toward the
unfortunate who were not re-
ligious always ready when
opportunity presented itself
to speak a word for their bene-
fit. Her last words to loved
ones around her bed side were
"meet me in heaven."
To her bereaved husband
and children there is no voice
sweet enough, tender enough,
to sooth the sorrowing heart
and woo the broken chords of
the soul to life's harmony again
though faith may whisper in
peace:
That life is ever lord of death
And love can never lose its
Twn.

One who loved her.
Capt. June Peak was in the
city Wednesday, and reports
Mrs. Peak sick, and says he
has not as yet fully recovered
from the grippe.
Again our attention has been
called to the fact that the town
hogs are a nuisance. We
heard a gentleman say that it
was not his wish or desire to
inj ure another man's property,
but harsh means would surely
be resorted to if the hogs did
not quit bothering him.
