Rev. Cooke is recognized as
one of ablest men who has ever
held a pastorate in this city. In-
deed, many will aver that he is
decidedly the ablest, and in so
saying they do not intend any re-
flection on any other preacher but
mean to simply pay Mr. Cooke
a merited compliment. On ac-
count of his excellent standing
here it was anticipated that he
would be returned, but as above
stated, disappointment now pre-
vails.
Rev. J. D. F. Houch, late of
Calvert, will be in charge of the
Rockdale church. the ensuing
year.

writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She savs further: “Before I began *o 11 **
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill
