brave soldier throughout the
long struggle.
He was married in 1866 to
Miss Elizabeth Bettiesworth,
from which union four sons were
born: Joe, William, Sidney and
Otto, all of whom survive.
He was never affiliated with
any fraternal orders, but was a
member of the Christian church,
a public spirited man, useful cit
izen, kind and tender parent.
He was never a litigant in court
and for the last thirty years
l had not been a witness in any
trial.
He was greatly interested in
the improvement of live stock,
and the material upbuilding of
his community- While his own
education was limited, he was
a ready champion of free schools
and the elevation of the people
While not a frequent attendant
upon church, he gave freely to
their support and in hospitality
the stranger was ever welcome
within his gates- His nature
was generous in every way; he
saw the good in other men and
overlooked the faults.
He lost his helpmeet through
! life in 1910, and after that re
mained at home more closely
than ever. He loved his home
and his children were his de
light.
The funeral took place Sun
day and his personal friend,
Judge M. M. Stucke delivered
a beautiful tribute in eulogy of
the deceased in the services at
the grave.
The bereaved have the sym
pathy of many friends in all

GEORGE W. BaNUY f
j PASSES AWAY
Died Sunday Morning At Home j
1 Of His Daughter At Tuck
erman After Long Sick
ness.
| ♦ --
George W. Bandy, one of the |
most revered citizens of Jackson j
county, and one of its oldest j
pioneers, after a long illness
'with typhoid fever in which his j
recovery was regarded as hope-j
less, passed away peacefully at j
6:30 o’clock Sunday morning at
' the home of his daughter, Mrs. j
J. S- Graham in Tuckerman, with !
whom he has lived during his
last years.
The children of the deceased
have all been with him for some ]
time and in his last illness, ev
erything was done for his com
fort and recovery, but all to no
avail. The extremely hot sum
mer made his sickness all the
more enervating, but he wras pa
tient through it all and apprecia
tive of the tender ministrations
of the beloved ones about him.
Mr. Bandy was 87 years of
age, remarkably well preserved,
with the vitality and interest in
all about him of a man of mid
dle life- He was a splendid busi
ness man and had been very suc
cessful as a farmer. He wras a
, i i _
gooa manager, surewu, ena
getic and progressive and yet
fair and honorable in all his
dealings.
He was a man of keen public
spirit. When the free school
system needed friends, he was its
loyal exponent; he took an ac
tive interest In local, state and
national politics and was a
staunch Democrat of the old
school- i
He became a Mason when 21
years old and thus had a mem
bership life of 66 years and prior
to his death had asked that the
Masonic service be used at the
grave.
He was a liberal supporter of
the Methodist church and all
things educational. He was a
man of keen intellect ^nd solid
character whose influence was
for good and whose memory
will be cherished among the peo
ple with whom he lived.
The deceased was born in
Hardeman county, Tennessee
and was married to Miss Dru
cilla Perry before coming to Ar
kansas in 1853, at which time
he located on the farm he now
owns and upon which he spent
most of his life.
His wife died several years
ago and he is survived by four
children, R. W. Bandy, Mrs- I.
N. Greenhaw, Mrs. J. S- Graham
of Tuckerman and Will Bandy of
Gainesville, Texas. Mrs- Ma
rion Dudley and Oliver Bandy,
both deceased, were also chil
dren of the late George W. Ban
dy.

All out of sorts,
Don’t feel like work to-day. Gues;

“Take anything*”
“Yes, some pills, but no results; sup

double the dose, then they physic me sc
hard I’m too weak to work. Think I’l
have to try something new.”
“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters*”
“No; I’ve heard a good de*l about it
but never tried it.”
“Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
suits.”
The purgative action of Prickly Asr
Bitters not only removes hard impac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the boweh

Prickly Ash Bitter* is a bowei tonic
and regulator in the truest sense. Ii
promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blackwelder. of Litchfield, 111., says b
Vac Litchfield News: “lam perfectly willing, in
fact glad to testify to tne value of Prickly A at
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
.ad bowels. I ha’-, nsed it whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen year:
and it has always given satisfaction.“
