Thousands of men will welsome the news
that most successful remedy has been found
which will cure them of any form Of nervous
debility, lack of vigor, relieve them of all the
doubt and uncertainty which such men are
peculiarly liable TO- and restore the organs to
natural strength and vigor of youth. As it
costs nothing to try the experiment, it would
seem that any man, suffering from any form of
nervous debility, ought 20 be deeply interested
in such remedy, without which they con-

AS the remedy in question was the result of

where we were from, how long we had
been ON the road, etc. At this they
withdrew short distance from us for
consultation, leaving US for the time in
terrible suspense as to what our fate
might be. Soon, however, they re-
turned and informed us that they would
be compelled 10 take us to the County
Jail, to await further orders from the
Military Commander of the District.
"While they were talking together /
took hasty inventory of what valuables
we had on hand | found in the crowd
four silver watches, about $500 in Con-
federate money, and possibly about 800
in greenbacks. Before their return |

Gentlemen, we have here four sill
yer watches and several hundred dollars
in Confederate money and greenbacks,

will but allow us to proceed on our
journey, we taking our own chances in

This proposition, to my great sur
prise, was refused. | thought then that
possibly had been little indiscreet in
exposing our valuables, but in this |
was mistaken, for we had, indeed, fallen
into the hands of gentlemen, whose zeal
for the Lost Cause was greater than that
for obtaining worldly wealth, and who
not only refused the bride, but took us
to a well-furnished and well-supplied
farmhouse close by, gave us an excellent
breakfast, allowing lis to sit at the table
i'll a beautiful dining-room, with u lady
at the head, filled our haversacks with
good, wholesome food, and allowed us
to keep our property, with an admoni-
ton to be careful how we showed it
again.
We were then put into wagon and
taken to Hamilton, small town, the
Countyseat of Hamilton County, Ga,
and placed in Jail, where we remained
for two days and nights-fearing, al
ways, that the jail would be burned over
our heads, as we heard frequent threats
Of that nature by the mob on the streets.
But the same kind Providence that had
heretofore watched over us seemed not
to have deserted us in this trouble.
Cone of the days we were confined
at this place was Sunday, and some
kind hearted lady or ladies | only wish
| knew their names, as we'll as those OF
the gentlemen who had us first in charge,
so that | could chronicle them with
honor here taking compassion upon our
forlorn condition, sent us splendid din
ner on very large china platter.
Whether it was done Intentionally
or not we never learned, but it was a
fact, however, that there was not knife,
fork, or spoon upon the dish, and no
table to set it upon. 1t was placed on
the floor, around which we soon gathered,
and, with grateful hearts, we got away
with it all in an incredibly short space
OF time, while many men and boys looked
on, enjoying our ludicrous attitudes and
manners"
