see that a skilled pharmacist is as necessary as a skilled
physician when there is illness. Competent registered
pharmacists only employed in our presciption department.

supporter of Mr. Davidson,
particularly in his third race. It
did so because it believed itself
to be giving honor where honor
was due. He was in the midst
of a great fight against a power

the state. The -Journal is al-

fall, covering two days, when
all kinds of farm products are

Obituary.
Mr. E. J. Swilling was born
December 26th. 1857, and de-
parted this, life at one o’clock tf
m, Feb. 10, 1010; Bro. Swilling,
had been a sufferer for some
time, ffnd for nearly two years
had been expecting the end to
come soon. The physicians told
him several years ago that his
trouble was a leaky heart, and
that medical skill was powerless
to help him, and that he would
likely live only a few more years.
In the face of such an awful
revelation Bro. Swilling seemed
to manifest no alarm and contin-
ued the same cheerful and pleas-
ant gentleman as ever. He was
concious of the fact that he had
made the preparation to meet
death and the judgment, there
fore he was not afraid.
It was the privilege of the
writer to know Bro. Swilling
very intimately, having been in
his home many times and thrown
with him on many occasions for
three years. To know him was
to love him. He was kind in his
home and in every relation of
life. He was faithful to every
trust committed to him. He was
a Christian character of the tru-
est type. He was outspoken in
condemnation of sin. and was al-
ways found on the side of right.
He stood for moral reform and
always cast his ballot for pure
men and wholesome laws. To
sum it all up he was a faithful
man. This is a great statement
I to be made of a person, but. in
I this instance, it is verified by the
I facts. He was faithful as a chris-
I tian, as a husband and father, as
I a citizen.
I To such as Bro. Swilling the
II Holy Scriptures are filled with
I precious promises. “He that is
II faithful to the end shall receive
| { a crown of life.” Christ says
11 “He that believeth in me shall nev
Her die.” And. speaking of the
1 resurrection, He says “Because I
(live, ye shall live also.”
i To the sorrowing loved ones
let me say that you have been
left a goodly heritage. A life of
faithful service t° God and man
is the record of your husband
and father. What more could he
have left you? A good name is
rather to be chosen than great
riches. The price of a good
name cannot be estimated.
Therefore, your sorrow is not as
those who live without hope. But
you have the assurance of a fam-
ily reunion in the Kingdom of
God in that great day when the
separation shall be made be-
tween the saints and sinners.
May you so live in this life as
that you too may be ready to
answer the call when it comes.
Father and husband has led you
in this life—follow him to the
City of God.
This tribute is written by one
who appreciated his friendship,
and truly sympathizes with his
loved ones.
