In his seventy-sixth year Henry
Meyer of the Swiss Alp neighbor-
hood died last Thursday morning,
after having been sick but a very |
short time.
Deceased was one of the early
settlers of Fayette county, and was
universally liked. While his earth-1
ly inheritance and accumulations,
the result of hard labor, were suffi-1
cient to make his declining days[
peaceful, Mr. Meyer’s chief asset
was his memory of those days that
tried men’s souls. He was a true
Southerner, a Confederate soldier,
lie lived a life that was pure and
good, and won a host of friends.
Friday afternoon they carried his
remains to the Swiss Alp cemetery,
near the Lutheran church, and
consigned them to their last resting
place. May he sleep peacefully.
To his surviving relatives, our sin-
cere sympathy.
BIOGRAPHICAL-
John Henry Meyer was born in
Wardenberg, Oldenburg, Germany
December it, 1836, and was bap-
tised jind confirmed in the German
Lutheran church of that city. In
the year 1857 he emigrated to
America, landing at New Orleans,
and from there went to St. Louis
to look for work. His stay there
was brief, and in 1858 he came to
Galveston, Texas, where he re-
mained until the beginning of the
Mar between the States, when he
enlisted in the Second Texas Regi-
ment, Confederate army. After
the war he returned to Galveston,
was united in marriage with Miss
Antonette Wessels of the same city.
The result of this union was nine
children, seven sons and two
daughters, all of whom are still
hiving.
In addition to his wife and chil-
dren who survive him, he left two
brothers and seventeen grandchil-
dren.

Be Happy!
Happy the girl, or woman, who has never suffered from
any of the diseases of womanhood! Or, if she has been a
sufferer, happy is she if she has learned of the wonderful
benefits of Cardui, the woman’s tonic!
Cardui is a gentle, tonic remedy, for women’s ailments.
It is a natural medicine—safe, harmless, purely vegetable.
It has been in successful use for more than 50 years. It
has cured thousands. It should do the same for you.
CARDUI Woman’s Tonic
Mrs. Mary Neely, of Denver, Tenn., says, “I think
there is no tonic on earth, as good as Cardui. 1 used it
with the very best resutts. I had backache and nearly
everything a woman could suffer with, until I took Cardui.
Now, I feel better than I have for two years. 1 shall
always recommend Cardui to other suffering women. I
can’t praise it too highly. As a medicine for weak, tired,
worn-out women, Cardui is safe and reliable. Try it, today.

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.
Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it’s only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot-
hold.
Now isn’t it reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur-
The Mask Ball.
While the number of maskers at
the Casino hall last Thursday eve-
ning was not so large as the fire-
boys had hoped it would be, the |
attendance in general was large.
The on-lookers got a great deal of
amusement out of the maneuvers of
j the maskers and the latter seemed
to enjoy themselves immensely,
j There were some very pretty cos-
| tumes and some that were not so,
; but this in no wise affected those
ham, N. C., says: “1 took Vlnol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap-
peared. but It built up my strength
as well.”
The reason Vinol is so efficacious In.
such cases Is because It contains In a
delicious concentrated form all tha
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, blood-bul!ding
Iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because It builds up the weak-
who had come for an evening of
genuine pleasure.
A commendable innovation was
that of A. Madsen, his appearance
creating an outburst of applause
that lasted several minutes. It was

Louis Rice, photographer, Wash-
ington & LaFayette Sts., LaGrange
Texas, says: “Some years ago three
doctors said I had Bright's disease.
The kidney secretions were irregu-
lar in passage and contained sedi-
ment. There were pains accross
my back and kidneys and when-
ever I did any stooping or brought
die muscles of my back into use,
the trouble became worse. I final-
ly began taking Doan’s Kidney
Pills. In a short time they helped
me and after I had finished a few
boxes, I was well. What I said
publicly, recommending Doan’s
Kidney Pills some years ago, I con-
firm today, as the cure has been
permanent.”

TIMELY WARNING
TO CALOMEL USERS
Killed by Freight Train.
Calomel is a form of mercury
and if it stays in the human
system its effect is terri-
ble. Ask your doctor.
Any physician will tell you that
if mercury remains in the body it
will soften and rot the bones, a di-
sease doctors call necrosis of the
bones. Calomel is a form of mer-
cury and to keep clear of danger it
is a safe plan to take no calomel at
all especially as there is a better re-
medy.
Both children and grown people
will find a perfect substitute for cal-
omel in Dodson's Liver Tone a pleas
ant vegetable tonic that induces the
liver to act and which never has
any bad after-effects. In fact Dod-
son’s Liver Tone will do every
thing that calomel does without any
of the dangers of calomel. A large
bottle costs only -j^c. and Meyen-
berg’s drug store will refund your
money if you ire not satisfied.

Dolores Octavo, a Mexican, aged
about twenty-two years, was run
over by an outgoing freight train
Saturday evening at 6 o’clock and
instantly killed. In a few moments
after the train left the city limits a
crowd gathered and viewed the re-
mains, no one being able to tell
who the dead man was or how the
accident happened.
Station Agent Wagner of the
Katy, by diligent inquiry from sev-
eral Mexicans who had gathered
there and who could speak the En-
glish language, obtained the name
and age of the unfortunate man.
Justice R. E. Moss was summoned,
held the inquest, and rendered a
verdict that deceased had met death
as above stated. Relatives took
charge of the remains.
The wheels of the train cut off
the upper part of the head, crush-
ing the skull to a pulp and scatter-
ing the man’s brains along the
track for several yards. It is be-
lieved Dolores attempted to cross
in front of the engine, and in doing
so M as struck and knocked down
by the “cowcatcher.”
Married at San Antonio.
Miss Minetie Teich mueller of this
city and Earl Richardson of San
Antonio were married in the latter
city Wednesday afternoon of last
week. They came over to LaGrange
Friday morning and remained until
Monday morning, taking the
Southern Pacific for San Antonio,
which city will be their home for
the present.
Mrs. Richardson is a daughter >
of the late Judge and Mrs. Teich- /
niueller, and lived here with her 7
mother. She is a talented artist, /
many of her paintings winning fa-
vor. Mr. Richardson, an engineer
on the El Paso division of the
Southern Pacific, is well known to
many of our citizens. We extend
our best wishes for a happy mar-
ried life. 1
