\ Unde Cobey’s Lecture
on Counage 4* j
I am going to talk to you about
one of (iod’s best gifts to man.
There are many traits in our na
tures that stand out like sparkling
dew-drops in the morning sun, but
there are none greater than the
ability to triumph over ourselves.
And this trait is never more se
verely tested than in time of great
misfortune and trouble. The man
or woman who can keep right
along on their journey of life in
this world of ours, carrying a bur
den of sorrow or disappointment
that is eating the heart away, scat
tering smiles and sunshine on
those they meet and omitting
nothing of the duties of life, pos
sesses a jewel more precious than
any that ever adorned the crown
of king. Men have risked their
lives on the gory Held of battle and
charged into the very jaws of
death; women have left their
homes to care for the sick and
■wounded and spent their lives in a
work of love; philosophers have
buried themselves in archives
among volumes of lore, or braved
the dangers of uncongenial cli
mates, for the purpose of adding
to the store of human knowledge;
statesmen have become martyrs
to their devotion to the cause of
humanity, and Christians have
suffered the horrors of martyr
dom; but for all these there was
glory, fame, honor, or a deep
seated, conscious hope of future
reward. But for the man or wo
man in the ordinary walks of life,
and pursuing its peaceful voca
tions, there are none of those
powerful incentives or aspirations
to buoy the sinking heart.
1 here is no clash or saore or
booming cannon or thought of glo
ry; no hope of future monuments
or historic mention. It is simply a
war waged without ourselves, with
ourselves and all our selfish nature
and fierce passions, for supremacy
or mastery over ous own feelings.
Had Napoleon possessed this vir
tue there would have been no St.
Helena. Call it courage, fortitude,
or whatever you please, but it is a
fight in which every fibre of our
being, every trait of our charac
ter, every reserve force, moral,
physical, and intellectual, is re
quired to sustain our drooping
spirits and press on to victory. I
have seen a mighty oak that has
withstood the storms of a century,
it had defied the winds and the
rain; L looked upon it and said to
myself: “What a monument of
strength;” 1 have seen the con
quering hero reture from the bat
tlefield with the laurels of victory
resting upon his brow, and stood
in awe of the greatness of his
achievements. I have read the
work of a great mind, and there
crept into my heart a feeling of
veneration that bordered on idola
try. But there is a sacredness
About the heroism of the man or
woman in the lower walks of life
who can rise above a great misfor
tune or trouble and take up the
burdens of life with a cheerful
ness which, if not genuine, ren
ders the heroism more sublime
that is too pathetic to applaud,and
before which I bow with a rever
cnee that I feel for no other trai
in human nature.
Courage! We need it every da:
in the small affairs of life as well
as in the great. The farmer needs
it to plant his crop. He needs i
to tight the weeds and the insects
that are enemies to everythin*
that grows on the the farm. Tin
wife needs it in her daily duties
and especially in the care of he
children. And there are thous
ands of good women in the land
who have this courage, brave wom
en and true, who are toiling by
the side of their husbands in the
| struggle for life and bread; and
jothers who in their devotion go
| down and down even to the very
depths of degradation, yet never
j entirely despair. There are many
things in this life te discourage
us, especially if we look upon the
dark side. And sometimes both
sides are dark. Then it takes all
of our courage to sustain us. The
dark clouds of gloom gather
around us. The light of the joy
of life seems shut out. We lose
! courage and lay down the battle
ax. Ah, there is where we make
a mistake. In action there is life.
Courage gives us hope, and hope
gives us strength. From courage,
hope and action, spring joy and
contentment. Every living soul
has the battle of life to tight. It
may not be a ‘'battle for bread,”
but it is a battle for existence,con

Wakeful?
Sleeplessness Is a
Sign of Nerve Trou
ble and Should
Be LooKed To.
» _
There are three different manifesta
, tions of sleeplessness.
First, hardly to sleep a wink all night,
second, to lie awake a long time before
i falling asleep; third, to fall asleep soon,
waking up after several hours and then
1 find It hard to sleep again,
j They mean tligjt somewhere In the

cells, somewhere in the blood vessels
that carry blood to the brain, something
1 Is radically wrong, and must be righted,
or the end may be worse than death.
, To right it, take Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
Some other symptoms of nerve trou
ble are: Dizziness, Headache, Back
ache, Worry. Fretfulness, Irritability,
Melancholy, Back of Ambition.
They indicate diseases which may lead
to Kpilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’ Dance,
Nervous Prostration, Paralysis, Insanity.
Notiiing will give such quick and last
ing relief as Dr, Miles’ Nervine.
‘‘My husband had bee* sick for weeks,
could not sit up to have his bid made.
With all the medical help we could get
he continued to grow worse. He could
neither sleep or eat. Our baby girl was
sent away, and all callers barred, be
cause he could not stand a bit of talk
ing. I read of a case of nervous pros
tration cured by Dr. Miles' Restorative
Nervine. We began giving it to him,
and in a few days he was able to be
dressed. From that time la- steadily

tentment, happiness. Few people
work harder than the very
wealthy. Their riches sow seeds
of disconeent in their hearts and
keeps them busy weeding out.
Contentment cannot be bought, it
must be fought for, and it requires :
a brave heart under all conditions
to retain it. We fight the battle;
we advance, we scale the hill-tops,
we triumph over ourselves and
are happy. Ah, there are many j
j things in this old world that are
i not thought of; many persons that,
j are not appreciated, not talked of,
not immortalized, that in our
! hearts we know are greater than
all the victories of war or the he
roes of war.—Home and Farm.
OBITUARY.
In loving remembrance of J.W . !
Hurt, died November 12, 1905.
Grim, merciless Death visited,
I as November 12, 1905, and took
1 from us our beloved brother. Our
sky is hung with black, sombre
i clouds; our vision is o'ercast with
j the gloom of sorrow and every
sound that strikes our ear has in
it a cadence of despair, without
the presence of our beloved broth
er, who has gone before. The
world indeed seems cheerless to
i us and in our heart there is a
I dreary, dismal, aching void.
Willie was born in Chattanooga
j county,Georgia, December!. 1853.
' He came to this country with his
j parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
j Hurt, in the fall of 1860. He was
married to Miss Martha Goodwin
; in 1874 and to them were born
two children. He is survived by
a mother, three sisters, one broth
er and one daughter.
, The only consolation that we i
have is the sweet hope that out
beloved brother is at peace. The
one upon whom we have lavished
our care is now in that land
“Where the weary are at rest."
