Springfield shortly before o'clock in the
afternoon, Mrs. Captain Channon and
Mrs. Sergt. Mcdonald accompanying

critics and more of the practical expert
enres of camp life. Still. while there was
considerable sickness. the Rifles escaped
and came home feeling first rate.
Sunday morning about 4 o'clock when
the entire encampment with the excep-
ton of few of the boys trying to run
the guard, was wrapped in the arms of
Morpheus. Lieutenant Colonel Foster and
Major .Kittleson arose and sauntered over
toward the battery. just to look at the
weather. Creeping up silently. they
saw one of the sentries. named Fred Law.

more nor less than to carry of Calling

they wheeled the gun across the parade
ground to the regimental headquarters,
and then retired to their couches. When
the vigilant sentry finished his nap. about
9 o'clock, he discovered the absence of
the gun. Sergeant Funk tracked the gun
down to the woods with detail and lost

when the gun was finally located, was
made to haul the gun back to the battery,

month l expect to become a mother.
During my period 1 have suffered
in many ways. Loss of appetite,

weakness, pains. &c. 1 had those
dreadful looking brown spotches

condition. | was submitting to 1t
as patiently as possible, when two
weeks ago l met DR.. 0. ?. Stark,
who persuaded me to take Ger

it on tap and l was lodging in
the same building with him. 1
took it, and it was such a very
pleasant drink, l have continued
to take it two to four times daily
since. But how wonderful the re-
suit, all my tired feelings gone, my
appetite and slumbers restored,
my nervousness has taken its
flight. These pains and melan-
choly feeling are numbered among
the things Of the past, and those
horIid brown splotches have dis
appeared; l feel like a new being.

The human race mas been saved
by having to work. 1t digged its
way out of its primeval PIT by
work. When it discovered its
nakedness and had to be clothed
it worked for its raiment; when it
appreciated the responsibilities of
fatherhood to the feeding and
rearing of the young it worked I'M
der the impulse of an affection
that was refined above the in
stinct of the brute. The relation
of husband and wife was made
possible and proper only by the
willingness to work that it might
gather to it the necessaries of ex-
istence and finally be adorned by
the promptings of intellectual as
well as physical wants. If Moth
er Eve is responsible for all this
we lift our hat to her and offer the
sincerest respect to her great
memory. She did more for man
kind than Adam and all of his
male descendants. Francisco

The citizen who works cheerful
ly and gives willingly to all those
enterprises for the general good,
is a public benetactor and should
receive a proper reward from the
people. Ifsuch benefactor is in
business, favor him with your
trade, and make it possible for
him to do more good for the pub
he. Some portion Of every good
citizens time is due to the public,
and the man who is always so busy

preach as 1 dc, though some have
tried it and got badly left
God Almighty made me Just as

I'll promise you one thing to
tell the truth so it will stick to you
like a cockle-burr to an old sleeps

shear him.
1 don't mean by an honest man
one who pays his debts. That's
the meanest son of honesty. Any
man of sense or decency Will do
that if he can.
Some church people, however,
are afraid to walk in among some
streets in Lynchburg for fear of
meeting a man they owe and won't
pay. They do business as "agents"
and board with their wives in or
der to successfully rob their cred
itors.
I'd go to the chain gang and
stay there before I'd ever write my
name, "Sam P. Jones, agent" for
my wife.
God Almighty never bestowed
greater blessing on any commnni-
ty than in giving it a good, game
preacher who doesn't fear man or
devil.
If any body asks you to take a
drink he thinks you're a hypo-
critic, and if you take it he thinks
right.
