ditor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please inform me through your Query
column which is the proper word for the
female sex-lady or woman.
SUBSCRIBER.
Woman, we should say, is the word,
as woman" is inclusive of ''lady." But
we fancy our correspondent Is bothered
by the confusion in the minds of some
people brought about by the modern
abuse Of the word "lady." We would.
therefore, say that in view of the abuse
referred to, woman is often the more
dignified term, where LADY" is meant
as a matter of course. All ladies are
women, though all women are not ladies.
No true lady feels herself demeaned by
being respectfully referred to as wo-
man. She would ordinarily call herself
a woman, leaving 1t for others to give
her the title of lady. which carries with
1t always something Of compliment. We
say "a good woman" not "a good LADY,;
"a true woman" not "a true lady," We
do not mean to be disrespectful at all.
On the contrary. we mean the greatest
respect. woman" is inclusive Of lady"
as we said In the outset. A woman Is
woman first; a lady afterward. No lady
need feel aggrieved at being called
woman. If she has true appreciation
of womanhood, she will not so feel

To settle a dispute, please solve the
following:
A man dies leaving an estate of 81. 665,

his widow. the remainder TO be equally

Author of code to the Dam"
TdItor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the DlSpatcn:
In the issue Of your paper dated Sep
TENDER II, 1897. you published some lines
entitled lode to the DAN" and print
them as written for the Dispatch by
r. w. Syler."
1t may interest you to know fact
In regard to the said lines which l can
tell you--to wit: The said lines were
written by r. w. Lyles, who died at his
home, in Danville, some twenty or
twenty-five years ago. He wrote them
for the Danville Register in which they
were published more than thirty-five
years ago. l have a copy Of them now
in my scrap-book, which l clipped from
the Danville Register, in which they
were originally published.
Yours very truly, w. ID. c.
u. S.-Mr. Lyles was a well-known
Danvllle lawyer, and was for some years
editor of the Danville Register. He
wrote a considerable number of poems,
among them one entitled. 81 Have Been
to the Funeral of All Ny Hopes" fire.
ouently now republished in the news
papers under the title of THE Drunk
ards Lament" 1t was also originally
published in the Danville Register, and
have a copy of it clipped from the
Register. w. ID. Z.
Harrisonburg, Va.
We do not find the lode to the Dan"
in our issue OF September 18th, though
we do find in that issue 1.-THE Drunk
ards Lament" We remember editing
the "Ode," however, for publication in
the Dispatch, and our understanding
was that it was written by r. w. Lyles.
If the Lyles appeared "Syler," the fact
is probably due to bad handwriting or
faulty proof-reading.

Edge Hill.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
l should like to enquire through your
columns whether there is a copy of Edge
HilR in existence. The book / mean is
a novel written by Virginia gentleman
named Heth. who was Auditor of Public
Accounts for the State some time in the
early 40's. The only copy ever saw
owned, read. and lost when a boy, and
the impression, which still remains with
me. IS that its merits entitle it to re-
print. The scene is laid in one of the
lower counties of Virginia, and about
the time Of Arnold's invasion.
If Subscriber" would not take 1t un-
kindly from a surveyor of forty years
practice, j would advise him to have his
land resurveyed. His field notes as pub
lished strike me as utter nonsense.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.


Common soda IS all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but il was
never intended for a medicine, and peo-
pie who use 1t as such will some day re-
greet It.
We refer to the common use Of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily, and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover. the soda only
gives temporary relief, and in the end
the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
TO the walls of the stomach and bowels,
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonitis.
Dr. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
lets are large 20-grain loZenges, very plea
SAINT to taste, and contain the natural
acids. peptones, and digestive elements
essential to good Digestion and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has
time to ferment sour, and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I'm all
cases of stomach arrangements. and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh, and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not a ca
thartic. but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness, and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach. All druggists sell
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at so cents
per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed

Nature and Science.

Observations of a Philosophical Friend)
Ordinarily, we mean by the words ma
ture and science, the whole creation, with
it's working, the earth and heavens-and
the knowledge Of all.
When God had finished His work, Hs
looked upon everything that He had made
and saw that it was very good. All was
full of wisdom and goodness; ali cleaned
and throbbed with the Divine life and
character. But there was wanted be-
ing like himself TO appreciate. to
understand, to admire II all, and love
and adore the Maker. So he laid or and
planted a garden eastward In Eden, es-
pecially beautiful, and there He placed
wonderful pair made after His image,
whom, as one, He called Man. to live, to
love, TO know. and TO adore; perfect In
mutual devotion, perfect in love to Him.
And He set the world in their heart. All
nature showed forth the Great God; And
the mirror of mans soul, the microcosm,
was a faithful, familiar recipient and re-
fector of the universe.
The whole outside world, through the
senses, wakes up the knowledge that
sleeps within us. OF the ideal and divine
Son of Man 1t was said that in Him ARE
hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge" Natural law finds its per-
feet counterpart in the spiritual world.
And mans full development Involves as
much the awaking Of latent knowledge as
the education or development OF his
faculties. The germs OF all manhood
are concealed In the babe.
Man was made for the contemplation
and study OF the Divine character and
wisdom In nature-to look through nature
up to natures God. TO respond to natures
songs of praise. Loyal knowledge reveals
the soul of the great Creator and His wis
dom and love- and in the infinite distance
shows the resemblance OF man the Son
to God the Father.
Science Is human intelligence contem-
Mating the ways and operations OF Him
that rules and governs all things. IN
whom we live and move and have our
being; Laws are His ways; Forces are His
