matters not how many physicians have
told you your case was hopeless, nor
how many different medicines you
have tried, without any permanent
benefit, we claim that the disease can
be cured, and as evidence of it refer
to the following cases:
WYANDoTTE, KAN, June Is, 1887.
One of my customers had been troub'
led for years with chronic diarrhoea.
persuaded him to use bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, it completely cured him, and
ho to day can not say enough in praise
of it. This case cited is only one OF
many that have been cured by it here,
can further say that ! recommend il
all the time, rs | know il is us represen-
ted, and will do the work. | have been
selling it for several years, and have
never heard of its failing in Il single
case, in fact, every one who uses it
speaks in the highest praise of its work,
DIR. S. T. MATHER, Druggist.
have cured a most persistant and
nggravating case of chronic diarrhoea
with four or five bottles of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, after the party had used all
other preparations in vain. consider
it the best made. w. A. MCGoNIGLE,
Monona, Clayton Co., Iowa.
am just recovering from long
spell of sickness, and was given up to
die by everyone who saw me: had
been suffering from chronic diarrhoea
and had doctored with nearly all the
physicians in Clark and Union counties

en- days, and could not move until !!
tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t has cured me
and now am in my store attending to
my business. / now sell Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
to my customers and tell them it is the
greatest medicine ever made. All OF
the people in America could not now
break my faith in your medicine. l
would risk my life on it doing for others
what it has done for me. j. G. STOUT,

Hark. hark, what myriads bid you rise!
Your children, wives and grandsires hoary
Behold their tearE and hear their cries!
Behold their tears and hear their cries!

With hireling hosts, ruffian band,

While Peace and Liberty lie bleeding?

The dogs of war, let loose, are howling,
And 10, our walls and cities blazel

The vile insatiate despots dare
Their lust of power and gold unbounded-

Like gods would bid their slave adore;
But man is man-and who is more?
Then shall they longer lash and goad US!

o L!berty! can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous flame?
Can dungeons. bolts. or bars coniine thee?
Or whips thy noble spirit tame!
Or whips thy noble spirit tame?
Too long the world has wept, hewailing
That falsehoOd's digger tyrants WELD;
But freedom is our sword and shield,
Aud all their arts are unavAiling!

The National Song OF the French
Rppublic.

Bastile reminds US TO copy Tho Mar.
seillaise," or national song of the Republic
of France, compared with which all other
national songs arc tame. II was written
and composed in 1892, by Rouget de Lisle,
n young soldier, poet aud musician. II was
the work os q winter night at Strasburg, he
composed both the words and the music
simultaneously rs he proceeded, 1t belongs
to tho period when the newborn Republic
was coutendng single handed triumphautly
with all the despots of Europe who had
sworn her downfall. We give two versions
of this famous song. The first is regarded
as much the best, though not to be com
pared with the original. ED. FREE PRESS.
THE MARSEILLAISE.
Como, children of your country, come,
New glory dawns upon the world;
Our tyrauts, rushing to their doom,
Their bloody standard have unfnred;
Already on our plains We hear
The murmurs of n savage horde;
They threaten with the murderous sword
Your comrades and your children dear.
Then up, and form your ranks, the hireling
foe with stand;
March on-his craven blood must fertillze
the land.
These banded serfs what would they have,
BY tyrant kings together brought
Whom are those fetters to enslave
Which long ago their hands have wrought?
You, Frenchmeu, you they would enchain
Doth not the thought your bosoms fire?
The ancient bondage they desire
To force upon your nocks again.
oaoRUs--repeat.
Those marshaled foreigners-shallt they
Make laws to reach the Frenchman's
hearth?
Shall hireling troops who fight for pay
Strike down our warriors to the earth2
God. shall we bow beneath the weight
OF hands that slavish fetters wear?
Shall ruthless despots once more dare
10 be the masters of our fate?
cHoRUs-repaat.
Then tremble, tyrants-traitors. all,-
Ye whom both foes and friends despise;
On you shall retribution fall,
Your crimes shall gam worthy prize.
Each man opposes might to might;
And whom our youthful heroes die,
Our France can well their place supply;
We're soldiers all with you to fight.
odoRUs-rere
Yet, generous warriors, still forbear
To deal on oil your vengeful blows;
The train of haplesR victims spare
Against their will they are our foes
But oh! those despots stained with blood,
Those traitors leagued with base Bouille,
Who make their native land their prey
Death to the savage tigei brood!
Chorus repeat.
And when our glorious slres are dead.
Their virtues we shall surely find
When on the self-sanle path we tread,
And track the fame they leave behind.
Less 10 SURVIVE them we desire
Than to partako their noble grave;
Tho proud ambition we shall have
To live for vengeance or expire,
CHoRUs-repeat
Come, love of country, guide us now,
Endow our venGeful arms with might,
And, dearest Liberty, do thou
Aid thy defenders in the fight.
Unto our flags let victory,
Called by thy stirring accents, haste;
And may thy dying foes at lust
Thy triumph and our glory see.
CHoRUs-repeat.

IRVING COLLEGE.

Irving College, Nov. 2O-EVery-
thing is moving on just the same as
if Cleveland had been elected. Our
Collins river democrats accept the
situation with that complacency that
is characteristic of all brave men. NO
matter how bad one feels over the
national defeat of democracy, or how
downcast and respondent he looks,
you may approach him on the sub
ject and, prompted by the same love
of liberty that burned in the breasts
of the Plymouth Rock Pilgrims, he is
ready, Calico like, to assert, never
theless it moves" l have heard
several democrats in this community
say they did not wish to be too in
quisitive, but they would like to
know what had become of those DEM
ocrats across the mountain that prom
ised so much when they offered us
Creed f. Bates. They don't under
stand why we got left when we in
creased our majority on this side
seven or eight hundred.
Government officers have made
several seizures of property in this
community under charges of viola
ton of the Internal Revenue laws,
but have been unable so far to prove
the guilt of any one.

Personal Points and Pithy Paragraphs
From North Warren.

Dibrell, Nov. %, 1SSS.-Miss Mary
Reams closes her school at Halcomb
today. She has endeared herself to
all, and no doubt has place in all
the childrens' hearts that time will
never efface.
Malvinia Halcomb died at her
home last week. She was good
women reliable in all life's relations,
kind to the poor and ever ready to
adm mister to their wants. She had
passed her three score years, and is
now gathered into the land of the
faithful as we humbly trust.
Prof. A. P. Moore will soon take
charge of the school at Green Hill.
He taught at that place last year and
gave such satisfaction that he needs
no recommendation.
Mr.. Joe Griffith, proprietor of the
Clear Springs NurSerys, lost his peck
ct book yesterday while in McMinn-
vile on his way home, with some
thirty dollars or more in it and a due
bill on j. M. Loaring. The finder
will be rewarded for returning
same to him.
On account of warm, rainy weather
there has been but few hogs slaught-
cred in this vicinity.
Mr.. Vestal Goodson is at home
again from Laund Hill, DeKalb coun-
ty.
The children are expecting to have
nice concert at Mt. Zion Christmas
night.

they don't come soon that he will

Advice to Anxious Housemothers.

New Orleans Picayune.
If your husbands salary is small,
don't try to live in the same style as
your neighbor who has twice your
income. 1t will cost you dearly in
the end. Don't dress your children
and furnish your house the same as
theirs. They can have their sewing
done and their rooms busted; you
cannot. DON'T wait until you can get
as costly books as they; a cheaper
edition will furnish just as much in
tellectual food. Be content in a
cottage when you cannot afford a
mansion. Don't send your daughter
to Vassar because they do, or that
she may associate with them as
equals, while you spend the weary
hours from 5 a. m. to II p. m. to
devise the means. Do try, by all
means, to give her a solid, practical
education first; then, if circumstances
permit, the ornamental afterward.
Be systematic, but do not be so
systematic that you cannot drop your
work for holiday or an evening out.
Slight it, if need be, and let me say,
you can slight Systematically. For
instance, don't mind ironing those
sheets or dish towels nor those wooden
hose. Don't scrub the kitchen floor
every day. There will be time
enough when it is soiled. Have a
place for everything, a certain day in
the week for certain work, also a
certain portion of each day for recrea-
ton. 1t may be only a few minutes,
but it is wonderful what you gain in
that short time.

How Justice Fuller Dresses.

A striking figure on our streets is, or
was until recently, the new Chief
Justice, Melville w. Fuller. Mr.. Fuller
seldom wears the judicial black, though
the frock coat is his favorite. 1t fits
as tight as glove, and is usually of
some light material A black string
tie is all that is needed to bring out in
sharp contrast his handsome face, and
a broad-brimmed SLOUGH hat sets off
finely the silken curly locks that run
amuck around his neck. Occasionally
this head gear is varied for the black
tile. His spectacles are always about
him, hanging down from a dainty gold
chain tied to his vest. He walks about
thoughtfully, with head bent, seldom
stops to talk on the street, but when he
greets friend always does so with
wave of the hand and pleasant smile.

point, and then put in as many cobs
as the water will cover. Let them
stand short time, and then take
them out and place in the sunlight
until thoroughly dry, when they can
be easily lighted with a match and
will make n hot fire.
