very well known ,hefeahouts and well 10
spected wherever he i known. Last week
I reporter Of tho Journal stopped at Mr..
Gehrke's and while there became much in.
terested in Mrs. Gehrke's account Of tho
benefit she had not long since experienced
from the use OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. She said she wanted every.
body to know what great nedicine these
pills are but d SO many people are praisinR
them nowadays, she modestly doubted
whether her testimony could add anything
b what others had already said Of them
ebout Pink Pilla was that the people Of
Adait And neighboring counties might be
convinced, il any doubted that oftp published
testimonials concerning Pink Pills were
genuine statemcnts from the lips Of persons
who have boon benefited by the use Of them.
Speaking Of her own interesting experience
Mrs. Gehrke said:

A Suggestive Incident In . sev.asal
Theatar Tea Years Ago.
More than ten years ago slight but
significant incident occurred in Savan.
nah, Ga. Between the acts Of a the
atrical performance there was occasion
to drop large national flag from the
flies above the stage. This wss done
without ceremony, merely in prepare
ton for the ensuing act. but as the
heavy folds unrolled and gave the
stars and stripes to the light. such .
cheer went mp from the audience that
the house was shaken. Savannah II .
conservative city. slow to forget and
tenacious of old ideas. Here, II any
where in the south. the war prejudice
would be strong, and yet the mere pre-
sentati0n of the silent emblem Of the
nation called forth such q ringing.
CHEEKY response of loyalty that any sus.
picion Of the south's good faith must
have been shamed into silence.
Even to-day men are not lacking who
will assert that the patriotism Of the
south il shallow and grudgingly given
only upon compulsion. Southern osa'
tors and writer's from time to time
protest against this insinuation, but
without materially changing tie opin.
ions of the skeptical, for it ID easy to
say that such written and spoken ut
terances are insincere or inadequate.
But the spontaneous expression Of .
heterogeneous multitude in q bit of tes-
timony which cannot be gainsaid. And
there has been an overwhelming
amount of such testimony upon the oc-
casion of the tour which the old Liberty
bell has Just made throughout the
south. Not alone in Atlanta, ito des-
tination, but all along the route, at
every stop which 1t has made, It has
been the signal for an outburst not un-
worthy OF comparison with the scenes
Of the memorable day when It pro
claimed its brave tidings.
Nothing 20 appeals to the universal
instinct of patriotism as does IN mani
mate object which Is emblematjca2 Of
. nations character and history. Phil
adelphia il properly jealous Of the old
bell, and disinclined to relinquish 1t for
any considerable time. but II it IL care
fully guarded from danger. a. it il IN
the present instance, It il fitting that
1t should be loaned upon an occasion Of
such importance Al that of the Atlanta
expedition. 1t is pleasant to know that
the old bell In not 80 silent but that IL
can yet speak to the hearts Of our peo-
pie, and gives fresh assurance that .
common bond Of love and pride and
reverence unites the entire county,
philadelphia Citizen.
