we have had an unusual amount of beautiful fall weather and good roads. Hard colds are prevailing. Mrs. Fanny Lafferty, who has been staying
at her old home during the summer, has gone to Warren, where she will be with
her daughter, Mrs. Burnett, this winter. Though
Mrs. Lafferty is over 80 years old, she is very well in every way; could walk to
the neighbors and also the church. We are all sorry to have her leave the place. John Everett and family are to leave for

who have heard him are greatly pleased, both with the man and his sermons. Come
and hear him. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm Cure:
Others, Why Not You? My wife has been using Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, with good resuits,
for a lame shoulder that has pained her continually for nine years. We have
tried all kinds of medicines and doctors without receiving any benefit from any
them. One day we saw an advertisement of this medicine and thought of trying it,
which we did with the best of satisfaction. She has used only one bottle and her
shoulder is almost well. Adolph L Millett,

all her young friends to meet her “in that home not made by hands.” The
sympathy of all friends is extended to the bereaved mother. “Asleep in Jesus’ blessed sleep From which none ever wake to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes.”
