adorning her wedding wreath, already full
with the blessings and repeated blessing and
bridal offerings Of loving friends Well, il
that is the way he felt, why didn't hc go
Into the shadowcd garden" The gate

lately conducted in the different counties by the
Governor and lis Acting Adjutaut- General, un
,a,ufi, and indictdble, under s;ction 14ot act OF

quote from that section: Provided, That
there shall be no military organic itiors, {,
or formations for the purpose OF forming, drill
ing, exercising the manual OF arms. or military
manuuyres, not authorized under this act, and
by the commandsr-ln-chief; and any neglect

prisonment at bard labor in the State Peniten-
tiary for term not less than one year, nor

The act requires an organization in the

These "yolunteer" negro companies are FOR

ne. THE SEASON OF EXHAUSTION

@e THE SEASON OF EXHAUSTION
The close sultry. weather which usually pl eyails
toward the end OF Summer Is particularly unfayo-
rable to the feeble and enervated. Even the we'll
knit frames Of strong men feel the influence Of
the season, and lassitude and languor perVade
the whole community. Ladies, especially those
In delicate health, suffer much from debility, oc-
casioned by the humid heat, and feel the want Of
wholesome invigorant In fact, necessity for
something to recruit the exhausted system Is ex-
perienced, more or less by everybody, and the
only question is whas that something will be-.
With those who have tested the effect Of HOSTEL
TERis STOMACH B1TTERs on themselves, or
have observed Its eecss on, others, this question
will not be in doubt for single moment. Its
tonic and regulating operation, and Its agency IN
creating healthy appetite and promoting diges-
tIon, are rightly classed by all who have resorted
to this unequalled vegetable invigorant and cor.
rectlve, among the most extraordinary therapeu.
tic wonders Of modern times. 1t should be taken
at this season as safeguard againstthe epidemic
diseases which are SO apt to attack the relaxed
system in the fall OF the year.
AS 1t Is understood that mercenarJ spectators
In various parts Of the country are endeavorlng
to supersede the standard tonic Of the age with
worthless articles manufactured by themselves,
which they represent to be superior to this long
tried remedy, it Is proper to put the public on
their guard against this species OF imposition,
and to warn them against the deleterious trash
with which dIshonorable dealers seek to drench
them. augls-sDac
