A Pretty War Story,
THE ROMANTIC RESULTS OF LOST DIARY ON
SHERMAN's MARCH TO THE SEA.

A special to the Courier Journal from
Forsyth, Ga, March 8, says "A pretty lit
tie romance. growing out of Shermans march
to the sea, has just eliminated here in the
marriage of of Mr.. Davis T. Rogers of Logan,
Kan, to Miss Donnie Goodman. a popular
belle of this city. On the third night out of
General Sherman's army from Atlanta, on
its famous trip to Savannah, it csmped on the
plantation of Mr.. J. 7. Goodman. a wealthy
citizen. 1t was night of terror for those in
the big farm house, who had heard eXaggera-
ted reports of the doings of the invaders
They watched through closed shutters all
night long the camp fires surrounding the
place. not daring to speak above a whisper.
Daylight found the column on the march
again, and as the last man disappeared, the
children sailed forth to examine the deserted
camp. Among the articles found was a KNAPP
sack, in which was diary, which showed
that its owner had served in Kansas regi-
ment from the first year of the war, and that
his name was David + Rogers of Logan,
Kan. Five years ago Miss Donnie. the
youngest sisterlof Mr.. Goodman, born since
the war, paid him visit and became so
interested in the diary. which told the peril
Gus story of a soldiers life, she wrote to the
address, expressing her readiness to return
the mementO if its owner should be alive.
A grateful answer was received both from
Mr.. Rogers and his wife. The two ladies
thereafter kept up a pleasant correspondence.
One year ago a letter bordered in black came
from Mr.. Rogers. in which he stated that his
wife was dead; that, at the urgent solicta-
ton of his children. he wrote his southern
friend the fact. Two weeks ago Miss Good
man received second letter from Mr.. Rog-
ers, stating that he was about to make a
business trip to North Carolina. and that he
would take occasion to call upon her. Sun
day brought the couple face to face. 1t was
love at first sight The visit was heightened
out until yesterday, when the couple clasped
hands before the hymeneal alter and formed
a union from which there is no secession.

For her the question is answered &C.

The last census is not altogether pleas
ant reading in many portions for the sons
Of New England, but it conveys lessons
which they cannot afford to ignore. If it
tells that Maine and Vermont stood sta
tionary as regards populations between
1870 and 1880, it also records the rapid
growth and prosperity of many cities and
towns which are beginning to tread upon
the heels of older communities. 1t seems
to say that to manufactures, not to agr;-
culture, must New England apply herself,
and that to the skill of her artisans must
she look for her old-time supremacy. This
changed condition Of affairs is recognized
in many enterprising cities, good ex-
ample of which may be found in Water
bury, the busting Connecticut city upon
the Naugatuck that is so rapidly coming
to the front as manufacturing center
Waterbury has wide-awake citizens who
take every opportunity to push it and to
welcome new ideas. The advantage of
such progressive spirit is well shown in
the case of G. w. Angel, who lives at No.
2O4 South Main street, Waterbury, and
who gives this personal experience:
"For twenty years | have suffered tor
lures from chronic rheumatism The doc
tors said l was incurable, but thanks to
Athlophoros, / have now taken new
lease on life. had tried numerous RENE
dies with the hope of at least allaying my
suffering, but all failed until friend adj
vised me to try Athlophoros. did so,
and as the result am now looking and feel
ing as though | had never known what
rheumatism was"
Mrs f. Vickers, of No. 46 Pleasant
street, says:
at is owing to Athlophoros that / am
now alive. / suffered with inhammatory
rheumatism for years, most of the time be-
ing perfectly helpless. One bottle of Ath-
lophoros cured me. / can sincerely say
that there is nothing like it for the speedy
relief and permanent cure of rheumatism
and can recommend it to all suffering from
that disease
The testimony is reinforced by that of
Mrs. Jane Downey, of No. "a Pleasant
street, a near neighbor of Mrs Vickers, in
this story Of her case:
1.-TWO bottles of Athlophoros cured me
of infammatory rheumatism. My family
physician advised me to take the remedy,
saying that he had done all he could for
me, but could give me no relief. Athlo-
phoros drove the rheumatism away, and |
am happy to say that it has never come
back. My daughter, who suffered terri
bly, from rheumatism, was also cured by
taking half bottle of the medicine"

nolds, in his acceptance Of the invitation
rendered him by the Union to visit Me-
ridian and aid us in the active promo
tion Of the cause of Temperance, which
we have so much at heart, has placed us
under great and lasting obligations to
him, as devoted co-worker in our ef-
forts to remove from our midst the
great evils resulting from the sale and
vse of intoxicating liquors, and tosecure
to US the blessings Of domestic peace,
prosperity and happy homes.
End, Rcsolrc That the best evidence
that can be shown Of the value of DR.
Reynolds labors and services in our
community for the cause ofTemperance
was the large and attentive audience
that attended his lecture; the three
hundred or more persons who sub
scribed to the pledge oftotal abstinence;
and the formation Of the Reynolds Re
form Club of Meridian with two hun
dred members, who have solemly Or
ganized and agreed to consecrate them
selves, their lives. and their work in the
great purpose Of advancing the cause Of
Temperance, thereby promoting the
peace, happiness and contentment Of
all.

services Of DR.. Reynolds, in behalf Of
Temperance here, are ofpermanent val

Dear Sister Beall:
have not yet seen any notice in our
State Organ Of one Of our local w c. 7.
Us. Think we deserve some attention
and so thought | would sendyou few
dots.
We have been organizing less than
one year; we were of course new and
without experience in this work and had
to meet a great many difficulties The
Prohibition element was decidedly weak
and without any organized resistance to
the liquor traffic and we were without
any special help from the men Of Me
ridian. ! am now thankful to be able to
state that the condition Of matters has
been greatly changed.
About one month ago We had series
of meetings and lectures by DR.. Henry
Reynold and others. which were largely
attended and developed new, active
and enthusiastic sentiment IN the cause
of temperance. There has been formed
as the result Of these meetings reform
club with three hundred members, and
accessions constantly and the best men
in Meridian are awakened to lively in
terest in the promotion of our cause.
Our town w. c. T. Z. embraces over
one hundred and fifty members. and
they are of the noblest and purest ofour
city We have also large and increas
Ing Temperance Sunday School which
meets regularly
We have not stopped our work in Me-
ridian, but we are organizing Unions in
other parts of our county; and have been
successful in extending this work, as a
distinct adjunct, we are now ready to
I'm Y. w. G. T. T. which will be ef-
fected this week. The best of ali is
that each member of our different or
ganizations appear to be earnestly and
zealously at work If the saloons are
not driven from Meridian it will not be
thh fault of the Christian Temperance
Union Women. We are taking several
copies of the SWORD AND SHIELD and
its circulation is being extended. It is
the State organ of our cause and we de-
sire to give it all the aid we can.
On the whole, we feel greatly en-
couraged and determined to work heart
and soul in this great and glorious cause
looking ever to God for strength to
sustain US.
Yours for victory,

which is good advice to any young man:
Il hope you are working hard at your
books so that you will be an ornament
to society. Society is needing some or
naments very much | sincerely hope
that you will not begin to monkey with
rum. / should hate TO have you meet
with felon's doom, or fill drunkard' 5

What has the drunkard ever done for

fill his grave for him?"

Sometime, when all life's lessons laee

And sun and stars forevermore have
set
The things which our weak judgements
here have spurned
The things DER which we grieyed

night;
As stars shine most in deeper tints
of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans
right,
And how what seemed reproof was

And we shall see how, while we frown
and sigh,
Gods plans 60 on as best for you and
me;
How, when We called, he needed not
our cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could

And eveu rs wise parents disallow
To much of sweet to craving baby

So God, perhaps, is keeping from US

Lies sweetest things, because it
seemeth good.

And you shall shortly know that
