OBITUARY.
Mrs. B. O , wife of Mr. R. E.
Vickers, died at the home of her
brother, R. N. Maxwell, Monday,
November 25, at 6 a. m.
She was bora 'line 1^, 1872,
and became a. miujbc. > ine
Christian church at the age of
14, and was married to R. E.
Vickers November 9, 1893, at
Liberty Hill, Texas. Sister Vick-
ers lived a devoted Christian life
to the day of her death and con-
sequently was prepared to go,
and as such, died as she lived—
trusting- in God. She leaves an
aged father, a brother, husband,
six children (the youngest seven
weeks old) and a host of friends
to mourn her departure. R. N.
Maxwell, brother of the deceased,
is our city marshal, and is held
in very high esteem by the peo-
ple of Lexington.
The writer endeavored to speak
words of comfort to the bereaved
ones over the remains of the de-
parted, and together with The
Leader truly sympathizes with
the relatives in this their hour of
dispair. Let us all live so that
we may meet her where partings
are no more.
I am yours in Christ,
W. F. Ledlow.
A Physician Testifies.
''I haqe taken Kodol Dyspepsia Core
and never used anything in my life that
did me the good that did," save county
physician Geo. W. Scroggs of "Hall Co ,
Ga. "Being a physician I have pre-
scribed it and found it to giqe the best
results. If the food you eat remains un-
digested in your stomach it decays there
and poisons the system. You can pre-
vent this by dieting but that means
starvation. Kodol Dyspepsia cure di-
gests what you eat. You need sutler
from neither dyspepsia nor starvation.
The worst cases quickly cured. Never
fails. E. M. Abernathy.
What They Say.
Editing a paper is a nice thing. If
we publish jokes, people will say we
are rattle brained; if we don't we are
an old foosi 1. If we publish original
matter, they say we do not give enough
•elections; if wo give selections they
say we are too lazy to write. If we
don't go to church we are a heathen, if
we do, we a hypocrite. If we re-
main in tu •> office, we ought to get out
and hustle for locals; if we go out we
are not attending to our business. If
we wear old clothes they laugh at lis,
if wear good clothes they say we have
a pull.—Exchange.

It Saved Her Life,
Gooch's Mexican Syrup has accom
plished a cure in this neighborhood
which has astonished the people. Mies
Davis was given up to die by her atton
ding physicician. She had lung fever.
The doctor said she would die before
morning, and advised to discontinue
hit medicine, as it was doinc her no
good. Her parents had a botttle of
Gooch's Mexican Syrup and Gooch's
Quick Relief in the house. Thev at once
began to give the Syrup in doses one
hour apart, and frequently bathed her
chest wilh ^uick Relief. Before morn-
ing she was better aud after using a
few bottles of oach, she is almost as
ever. It was almost like raising the
dead and ha« established the reputa-
tion of Gooch's Mexican Syrup here as
a cough remedy; we can self nothing
else^ J. A N. Sands, Trimble, Athens
