A Beautiful Tribute to the Ladies

Medical Association in Wilmington
recently at one of the sessions which
partook somewhat Of the nature Of a
literary occasion, 4 number Of visitors
being present, in welcoming the ladies
President W. L. Cheatham took 0cca-
sion to pay a beautiful and merited
tribute to the fair sex, his remarks
being reported as follows in the Will
mington Messenger:
DR.. Cheatham paid silvery, poetic
tribute the ladies in the following man
ner: They cheer us on to higher
plane of usefulness in our profession. L
believe the medical profession has been
ever warm in its championship and
admiration for true womanhood. When
we see woman walking uprightly, full
filling that mission that her Creator
manifested and desired she should, she
inspires in us an emotion of profound
admiration for the beauty and lowell
ness of her character. Ever since the
day when God took the rib from Adams
side and made woman she has been a
ministering angel to wipe away the
tears Of grief and sorrow from mans
brow and scatter flowers in the path
way of his life. Indeed, under such
circumstances she is the delineatiOn
and embodiment of all that is lovely
and beautiful. 1t is painted upon her
cheeks in heavenly smiles, flows in her
ringlets, charms in her voice, throbs
in her breast, moves in her steps, and
mingles and shines in the graces of her
love. IL sorrow, sadness, pleasure,
woe and pain she is untiring, unceas-
ing in her devotion to those duties and
principles which alone make life worth
living. She is oftentimes the physi-
clans main reliance and by her in
tuitive kindness, gentle graces and
quick perception is the means of saving
many poor sufferers from untimely
passing to that mysterious beyond.
that undiscovered country, from whose
bourne no traveller returns.
Have we any truly great men at the
present day? Some doubt it, and ask to be
L
or Webster. However this may be, of one
thing we are sure, there never was a
greater blood-purier than Ayers Sarsa-
parilla.
Encampment Notes.
The Wilmington Messenger Of last
Friday in reporting the arrival of the
Vance Guards Co. c. Third Regiment

says:

master Geo. NJ. Newell has been on
the grounds several days.
Mr. &. E. Ayskew is caterer for the
Henderson boys, and they say he is up
to snuff any day in the week whenever
he gets things under way. The Mes
senger representative took dinner
with him at his mess (the Vance
Guards) yesterday, and he got
away with that fried chicken with a
relish. But how about that Jersey
butter?
The same paper Of Sunday says: The
special feature of yesterday was the
first parade of the Third Regiment I'M
der command of Lieutenant Col w. A
Bobbitt. The Third Regiment band
furnished the music and made fine ap
pearance. The parade was on a par
with those Of the other regiments in
their first parade under the new tactics

the Third is not going to get left.
