BIRTH
At 11:50 p. m. March the 11th
191(5, Neighbor Vamp Smoot, in
obcdience to Nature's inexorable
law, yielded to that change or
transition into the finer, higher
and more spiritual existance
commonly called death but more
correctly termed birth.
There is every evidence that
this transition is hut a birth.
The infinite changes, varities
forms, in all Nature and yet
nothing annihilated, nothing
lest—neither is Neighbor Smoot
annihi ated nor lost. His desti-
ny is our destiny—a common
fate awaits us all.
Neighbor Smoot made his
transit while yet in the fullest
vigor of manhood—"when every
moment was jeweled with joy—
just in the happiest sunniest
hour of all the voyage—when
eager winds were kissing every
sail" his ship gently glided into
that placid Port the hew and
better Life.
He was good here—he is bet-
ter There. He was Venerable
Consul here, he will be Consulor
There.
"We have no right here,
To fill the future with a fear."
With loyal heart and faitnful
hand he discharged the duties of
the offices tendered him by our
Fraternity.
The philosopher tnay wail that
"Life is a deep and narrow vale
between the bleak and barren
peaks of iwo eternities, that, we
strive in vain to look beyond the
heights, that we cry aloud
and that the onlv answer is the
echo of our waiiing cry" but
thru more modern research we
are able to exclaim that at the
dawn of birth "hone sees a star
and listening love can hear the
rustle of a wing."
"There is no death—what seems bo
Is transition,
The star goes down to rise upon
lomc fairer shore
And bright in yonder's jeweled
crown
Shall shine for evermore."

DANGERS OF DRAFT
Drafts fedl best when we are hot
and prespiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result is Neuralgia,
stiff neck, sore muscles or sometimes
an attack of rheumatism. In such
cases simply apply Sloan's Liniment.
It stimulates circulation to the sore
a-id painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the stiffness
and pain leaves. Those suffering from
neuralgia or neuralgic headache will
find one or two applications of Sloan's
Liniment will give grateful relief. The
agonizing pain gives way to a tingliug
sensation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for neuritis too. Price 25c at your
druggist.

Many people cough and cough—from

spring. Others get cold after cold.
Take Or. King's New Discovery and
you will get almost immediate relief.
It checks your cold, stops the racking,

the inflammation, soothes the raw
tubes. Easy to take, antiseptic and
healing. Get a 50c bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery and keep it in
the house. "It iB certainly a great
medicine and I keep a bottle of it con-
tiuually on hand'' writes W. C. Jeaae-
man, Franconia, N. H. Money back if
not satisfied but it nearly always helps.
On Sunday Morning our town
was shocked to learn of the
death of one of its first citizens,
Vamp Smoot, who passed away
Saturday night, March 11th, of
pneumonia. His illness just
lasted two days. All that lov-
ing hands could do, was done.
His soul was loth to say good
bye, but his Father called him
from on high and he could not
say no. The deceased was born
in Bath County, Kentucky, Jan.
1, 1879. Confessed his faith in
Clnist while young and became
a member of tho Christian
church, of which he was a mem-
ber at the time of his death. He
was married to Eusina Cannon
on the 6th of March, 1901, at
Carlisle, Ky. After 3 years of
happy life there, the lure of the
west called to them and they
left their old Kentucky home
and came to Davenport, Okla.
Since that time thsy have lived
here, making many friends. He
was a good neighbor, a kind
husband, and was known by his
sunny disposition and was one
that never turned a deaf ear to
the poor and needy. Beautiful
vitualistic burial service of the
Odd Fellows lodge of which he
was a member. Elder Higgins
of Stroud preached the funeral
sermon. One of the tokens of
the esteem in which he was held
was the mass of pink and white
carnations that covered the
casket,
Mr. Smoot leaves to mourn
his loss, a wife, au aged mother
in Kentucky and two brothers,
two sisters and a host of friends.
May the bereaved ones turn for
comfort to the One that doeth
all things well,
We will wait foi tiie day
when storm and clouds are pass-
ed awav our lovod of earth will
meet us then where streams of
ttlorv bleud and day eternal
beams.
Mrs. Whitman
