Monument TO Confederate Women.

T am not surprised that General NJ {.
putlor AT the Confederate reunion cali
"a attention to the absolute failure or
southern men TO do anything as yet Tor
the noble women who sacrificed every
thing for the Confederate cause NO
southern man can think of the widowed
wives the mirthless maidens. tho mourn
ing mothers, and the sympathizing, sue
coring sisters OF the Confederacy with
out desiring to honor and cherish their
memory. Truly the southern woman was,
and is
"a perfect woman, nobly planned
To warn, to comfort, and command. -
and. while comforting, commanding, and
still achieving, she has learned to labor
and to wait" Her monument Is pa
thence. The monument in question Is
only a matter of time, and the longer
the time, the greater the monument.
/ was recently riding with Colonel Peter
Hairston. of Martinsville, gallant colo
mel of Confederate fame, and he made
a suggestion which is well worth the
consideration of the Southern States. He
said: THE women of the Confederacy
must have a monument. II should be
worthy of the women who loved ana
suffered for a great cause, but II should
not be undertaken until the last Con-
federate soldier lies and is honorably laid
10 rest. Then all the soldiers homes
and all property owned and used for their
benefit in all the Southern States should
be sold, and the money thus obtained
USED TO build a monument to the women
of the Confederacy."
This is d wise suggestion, which the
women of the present generation will
heartily endorse. When the heroes have
passed over the river" monument,
crowned with a typical southern woman
a true goddess of liberty-will be erected

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
ical Ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bcne-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
allreputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillfut
physicians. but il In need Of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
ased and gives most general satisfaction.
