No delegation was more cordially well

Canton, o., Oct. II, 1S96.-Canton, the

many marvellous events in this campaign,

The fact that Paine's celery compound
is to-day relied on and recommended,
both in public and in their own family
circle, by so large portion of the most
prudent and thoughtful people in every
community, should not be overlooked in
determining ones choice of a remedy.
Paine's celery compound is the most
successful, the most warmly praised
remedy-just as it was, at the time of
it's discovery, the most talked of-ever
offered by a physician to his fellow prac-
titioners and to the public. Paine's
celery compound has more than fulfilled
the great things that were expected of
it when it was first announced to medical
men as the discovery of that distinguish

They eat their food without relish,

These women who are farther along in

been twenty-five years old at the time
of his capture at Port Hudson, July 2,
1863
He was at the time Captain and Inspec-
tor General on General w. N. X. BealI's
staff. The title by which he has since
been known was acquired, presumably
in the militia, or on some Governor stan.
His reputation for legal and forensic
eratory in Arkansas was fit prelude for
the high stand which he speedily took
in that body of phenominally brainy men,
taken as an aggregate of some two or
three thousand perhaps unequalled In the
worlds history. Even in that crowd his
merits were soon admitted by all as one
of, il not the very foremost man intellect

of speech, mellifluous voice, rounded style,
ornate and forcible, unmatched repartee,

geniality, kindliness of heart and native
mother wit, could but secure him such re-
cognition.

taken as a whole, have rarely met
