"Thedford's Black-Draught
is the best alt-round medicine
I ever used," writes J. A.
Steelman, of Patlonville, Texas.
"I suffered terribly with liver
troubles, and could get no relief.
The doctors said I had con-
sumption. I could not work at
aH.' Finally I tried'
THEDFORD'S
BLACK-
DRAUGHT
and to my surprise, I got better,
and am to-day as well as any
man." Thedford's Black-
Draught is a general cathartic,
vegetable liver medicine, that
has been regulating irregulari-
ties of the liver, stomach and
bowels, for over 70 years. Get
a package today. Insist on the
genuine—Thedford's. E-70

rowing husband and loved ones our

tions be furnished the bereaved huB-
band a copy sent to the Baptist Stan-

Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Ada Burke,
1 Willie E.' Dyer,
Committee.
®ev. J, 1, Binford, pastor of the
Baptist church in this city, died at
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. P.
King on Tuesday morning at 2:00
o'clock after a several week's illness.
It is sad at any time to chronicle
the death of any one, but to see this
younj: man in his early ministry, who
was so able to fulfill the noble work
for which he had given his life and
who was needed so by his church and
its members, and the community in
its growth and moral advancement,
is more than the church and the en-
tire community which had learned to
love him, can understand. We often
wonder why God should take away
one who gave promise of such unsel-
fishness here, but we should remem-
ber that Cod knows best, and that
his presence with Him will be happi-
er for him, and work out greater glo-
ry for his name, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven. God's ways are
mysterious to us but by Him all His
purposes are perfected. He was 29
years of age the 5th of Jan., a grad-
uate of Baylor University. He had
been pastor of several churches be-
fore coming to Alto. His christian
life was beautiful from the begin-
ning to its close, and through all vici-
ssitudes and sorrows that he met in
the way, his faith in God never wav-
ered. The manner of his departure
teas beautiful. It is said by the
nurse and others that before the end
came he preached a beautiful ser-
mon, prayed, and sang, and after
bidding relatives good-bye, he relaps-
ed into a slumber for a little while
and then opened his eyes with a
most heavenly expression, as though
he had caught a glimpse of the
pearly gates and the gold paved
streets of the New Jerusalem.
Rev. Cole, who is conducting a re-
vival meeting at Rusk, conducted the
services in a very impressive way.
Bro. Binford's favorite songs were
touchingly rendered by the choir.
Rev. J. C. Williams, pastor of the
Methodist church and who was an
intimate friend of the deceased,
spoke a few moments of the love and
devotion to him.
At the close of these solemn ser-
vices all were permitted to look for
the last time upon the face of the de-
parted. The body Was laid to rest
in the cemetery at Rusk. On ac-
count of illness in the family, Mr.
Binford, the father of the young pas-
tor and one brother were the only
members of the family able to attend
thd service.
The deacons of the church acted
bearers.
