We were highly honored last week by re-
ceiying a sheet of music and kindly note
from Mrs. Letitia Tyler Sempe, daughter
of ex President John Tyler. The venerable
lady resides in Washington, and is a type
of the best of the Virginia Danes of the
olden time. The music sent us, q song,
'Virgina," written by her distinguished
father, probably about the time he was
chairman of the peace commission" in the
early stages of the 'late unpleasantness,"
and the musical arrangement is by Mrs.
Semple: published by Henry Eberbach,
915, + St., n. W. Washington City. 1t is
beautiful thing, and when sung in Rich
mond to-day or tomorrow, the hearts of all
Virginians there, and thousands of veterans
from all over the Southland, will be capti-
waited by its sentiment and charmed by its
melody. This and other pretty pieces OF
music sent US we cherish as souvenirs of the
acquaintance and friendship of the distin-
guished lady who once presided over the
"White House" with a grace and dignity
that is not surpassed even by the present
"first lady Of the land"

MUNYON'S
COLD And COUGH CURES
GUARANTEED TO CHECK A COLD IN AFEV
HOURS AND PREVENT GRIP
AND PNEUMONIA.

Colds lead TO coughs, coughs 10
Pneumonia and Consumption; there
fore it is all important to check cold
before il reaches the lungs. Munyon's
Cold Cure will positively break a cold in
side Of twenty-four hours If taken as
soon as the cold manifests itself
When a cold reaches the lungs or bron-
chial tubes the Cough Cure should be
used alternately every half hour with
the Cold Cure. The Cold Cure is guar
anteed to prevent pneumonia if used in
the beginning of cold. Pneumonia, or
inf1amma ton of the lungs, can be con-
trolled by the use of these two cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures bron-
chitis, tickling in the throat, hoarseness,
loss of voice, soreness of the chest, diff
Guilty in breathing, hacking cough and
all pulmonary diseases where the lungs
are not too far consumed or covered
with tubercles.
If you are ailing, step into the nearest
drug store and get a sc vial Of one Of
Munyon's Remedies. No matter what
your disease, or how many doctors have
failed 10 cure. it will give you relief.
