Celebrating the 4th.

The writer and a friend decided to
spend portion of the 4th in quest OF
plover (Bartranian Sand-piper). These
birds usually make their appearance In
May, nest and rear their young in grass
fields. and are ready for the gun in July
and August As rule they depart
early in September. This species of
plover is exceedingly wary of one afoot,
but by riding a horse can be approached
within reasonable gunshot. When
flushed they are strong, erratic flers,
and it requires prompt action on the
part of the gunner, as well as a good
gun and ammunition, to bring them tn
bag. The writer and his friend, besides
being fair shots, had breech-loaders of
modern make, also the latest brand of
nitro powder. We had very enjoyable,
as well as successful day. Was the bag
large Only thirteen, but considering
the length OF time out (half day., and
that the sand-piper is the warieSt of all
game birds in this section, | would say
yes Did we shoot well Very, but Of
ten without results in other words, a
great many l2-gauge holes were bored in
the atmosphere. At home in the even
ing, over pipes, rubbing our sun-peeled
noses between puffs, each shot, success
full or otherwise, was carefully gone over,
and to our minds the 4th had been vel
celebrated. n, =.

At Winchester.

More than ten thousand people wit
messed on Saturday the unwilling Of
the monument, at Winchester, to the
Louisiana soldiers who fell upon the
battle-felds in the Valley of Virginia.
The monument is an imposing shaft Of
stone, towering up in Stonewall Gem
etery, where sleep the Louisiana heroes
who died while struggling for the
Southern cause upon the soil of this
State.
Upon the front of the monument Is
the following inscription
ITO the soldiers of Louisiana who died
for the South in the Valley campaigns,
this monument has been erected in mem
DRY of their noble daring and their en-
durance in their country's cause"
On the rear side are the following
lines:
"Sleep in peace, with kindred ashes,
OF the noble and the true;
Hands that never failed their country,
Hearts that never baseness knew.
On the left and right, respectively,
are the following inscriptions;
They died for the principles upon
which all true republics are founded.
Remember the valor;
Keep holy the sod
For honor to heroes
Is glory to God
The parade was imposing and the
whole affair quite a success.

The chiIdren's Fresh Air Society

This is vacation time. School is over
and the children are at home. Harvest
is over too and now we can begin to look
around us more freely and see how best
10 "have a good time" Why not try
something new this year Pic-nicS seem
tame. straw-rides are not as much fun
as they used to be, even amateurs shows
have lost their spice. The trouble IS we
have had so many good times that our
pleasure easily flags. But there are
some people whose good times are fewer.
In the heat and dust aid smells OF the
city, are boys and girls, i'll fed and poor
" clothed. whose hard working parents
have little time or money for what we
call pleasure, and they are just as full
of life as our boys and girls and as we
were ourselves, and ache for some good
times. Let's give them some. If neigh
Dor Smith would have four at his house
and neighbor Jones could manage three,
| believe we could pack away four or
SO. We could give them all of the pic
mics and straw-rideS we don't want our
selves and see if they don't like them.
The only trouble is to find the children.
Rich city children are so stuck up and
full of airs, and how could we reach the
poor ones. Did you ever hear OF the
Children's Fresh Air Society in Baltl-
more, Maryland? Their room is liz n.
Charles st. | believe if we wrote to
them they could put US on the track oil
some. have heard that in the city
sometimes whole family live in one
room. Must be hot work this weather
should think little Christian civiliz'
ing might not be amiss, if we could get
hold of them. | believe for one III try
taking few. Neighbor Johnson, lets
make it a carload in the village. How
many will you take Then well let
those fellows in town have the job OF
prowling round the alleys to look the
kids up. that's nice piece of work.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, ILL.,, was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, l39 Florida
ST., San Francisco, suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching Consump-
ton, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of Dr. King
New Discovery and in two weeks was
cured. He is naturally thankful. 1t
is such results, of which these are sam
pies, that prove the wonderful efficacy
of this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

AT CHICAGO.


Up to the hour of going to pres
there is no news from Chicago con
corning the makeup of the Democrat
ic national ticket. Bland has beer
apparently in the lead for first place
with Boies next. A considerable SEN
timent seems to be developing in ia
vor of Adlai E. Stevenson. The one
thing about which there can be nc
dispute is the power ofths silver men
They have big majority and contro
the convention to suit themselves. A
straight 16 to l platform Will be
adopted.
The convention assembled in the
Coliseum building Tuesday at noon
and was called to order by Chairman
Harrity. He named Senator David
B. Hill, of New York, as the choice Of
the national committee for temporary
chairman. Mr.. Clayton, of Alabama
on behalf of the silver men, proposed
the name of Senator John W. Daniel
of Virginia, and Senator Daniel was
elected by vote of $50 against 34F
for Senator Hill. Mr.. Daniel there
upon took the chair and made vigor
Gus and eloquent free silver speech.
Yesterday the silver men elected
Senator Stephen NJ White, of CalifOr-
MIA, permanent chairman, and have full
control of the organization through
out. The gold delegates from Michi'
gan and Nebraska were unseated, anc
their places were given to silver adj
vocates. This will probably give the
free silver men more than two-thirdi
majority,
Col. John T. McGraw showed hi
skill in politics by getting himself elect
ed as West Virginia's member of the
national executive committee. The
opponent of Col. McGraw was Exon.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able To
cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraterni-
ty. Catarrh being constitutional dis
ease, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

The Southern Memorial Abbey.


The board of trustees of the Memo
rial Abbey Of the South met in Rich
mond Friday. They found that they
could not take out a charter in the
form they wished under the laws of
Virginia. They therefore delegated
to Col. Mcintosh, of Mississippi, au-
thority to perfect the charter under
the laws of the State of Alabama.
When next they meet for organization
they will assemble at Chattanooga,
Tenn. They will then effect perma-
nent organization by the selection Of
president, secretary, treasurer and
other officers and subcommittee as
they may see proper. The ROuss
Memorial Hall Association at a meet
ing in Richmond Friday designated
Gen. Johnson, of Alabama General
Briggs, of Kentucky DR.. league, of
South Carolina, and General Jackson,
of Tennessee, as a committee to visit
New York and confer with Mr. Rouss
and show him the great opposition in
the South of locating the proposed
Battle Abbey in Washington. A
strong sentiment exists against placing
it in Washington.
The gentlemen referred to above
had a conference with Mr. Rouss in
New York on Monday. After talking
over the matter with them, Mr.. Rouss
withdrew his conditional offer for a
100000 subscription provided the
abbey was located in Washington city,
and the matter has resolved itself back
to his original proposition, which is
that he will give his check for $780,
900 as soon as a similar amount is OBJ
tanned in subscriptions. Within the
next twelve months it is confidently
expected that subscriptions largely
exceeding 100000 will be received,
and it is understood Mr.. Rouss stands
ready to duplicate any amount In ex-
cess Of that sum that may be secured
The cities which will now most likely
contest for the location will be Rich
mond, Atlanta, Nashville and New
Orleans, and, as all are attractive
places, the question of location will
doubtless, to a considerable extent
depend upon the hberality of the Of
fers they make. But it was quite ap,
parent at the Richmond reunion that
the sentiment of the old veterans was
largely in favor Of that city as the
location of the abbey for many reasons
the strongest of which was that it was
for four years the capital of the Con
federate States.

recite in our school boy days. II has forcl-
BILE application TO those small ailments which
we are apt to disregard til they reach
formidable proportions. A 1T ofindigestion'
a 'slight" attack OF constipation, IL Is as
sumed, Will soon pass of, but 1t Is very apt
TO get worse, and In the meantime Is neg
lected until the ailment becomes chronic,
and then, II not entirely eradicated is con-
slant annoyance and menace OF worse con
sequences, for diseases, recollect, beget one
another. How much wiser to resort to a
course of Hostetters Stomach Bitters at the
outset Of the malady than to temporize with
IL at the start, or tIea: IL with violent reme-
dies in it's maturity. BE on time with dis
ease. or it may floor" you. Malarious, rheu-
matte and kidney complaints, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, biliousness and nervousness are all
disorders OF rapid growth, and should be
"nipped in the bud by timely resort to the
Bitters.
