we feel that a tio has beeu broken that

keep them in the way sho found so at-
tractive and sustaining.

To tho Officers and Members of the
LaGrauge Sunday School, Methodist
Episcopal Church South:—
We, your committee, heretofore ap-
pointed to report suitable resolutions
of respect regarding the death of Mrs
Miunie Murphy, would report as fol-
lows:—
Whereas, we havolearned that death
has claimed for his own onr beloved
friend and sister, Mrs. Miunie Murphy,
and whereas we desire lo express our
feelings relative to tho iossot one who
for so many years was an active, ear-
nest worker iu our church and Sab-
hath School, therefore, bo it resolved
1st. That iu her daily walk our de-
ceased sister always demonstrated the
E. Heimann. truth of religion, aud by ber every atst
showed that sho was ready to do her
master’s bidding, in charitable deeds,
in nursing the sick, administering to
the wauls of the needy and learnin
little children the way to be good nn
useful Christians.
2nd. That although we shall never
again see her form or be greeted by
her kindly smiles and words of cheer,
still the sweet memory of ber acts and
deeds will live in our hearts so loug as
life lasts, aud thought remains.
Sd. To the bereaved husbaud aud
little daughter we extend our sympa-
thies in their great loss,and assure them
that our prayers for them and our pe-
tition* will be that our God, aud that
Heavenly Father, whom the departed
one loved ao well, will be with them
to sustain them In their sorrow, to
comfort them lo their great affliction
aud at laat to guide them into that
Eternal City, where they will once
agaiu enjoy tho company of wife and
mother tbrooghoot eternity.
4th. That these resolutions be spread
on tbe minutes of onr Sabbath School,
that a copy be sent to our sorrowing
Brother, and that tbe LaQrange jour-
nal and News be rrquested to publish
them.
All of whlph le respectfully submit-
ted by,
Mp* W. H. Thomas,

If strength is what you want, you,
should study what causes your weak-
ness.
It is practically lack of food.
But you eat three meals a day, aud
all you can cat at a time.
Yes, but do you digett it?
Food undigested, is not food. It is
uot nourishment.
It doesn’t create strength.
To digest your food take Shaker
Digestive Cordial at meals. After a
while you will digest your food with-
out it. Thcu you will got well, aud
strong aud healthy.

gestion and all its symptoms, such as

the stomach, giddiness, loss of appe-
tite, etc. It makes your food nourish

hearty.

judge that it was intended solely for
light rcadiug In midsummer; but a
secoud glance shows that It contaius
as well much of serious interest. The

sioner sent by Tho Cosmopolitan to
India tells a tale, the like of which has
nevor before appeared in any period!

accounts of great famiuo*,but they lack
that startling distinctness which comet
from beholding at first hand the sights
described. Twenty millions of people

can can form any Idea of the state of

and stood amongst the dead and dy-
ing. It is the first lime that we have
had an American investigation of the
