The great Marcher through Georgia

of physician, had a great deal of faith
in his medical advises: but he would
crack the usual joke with them, espe-
cially when he was sick; and he told
DIR. Bliss once that he didn't seem to
be getting better. for all the medicine.
"Weil, general" replied the doctor.

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss of the hair is one Of the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting If the locks were short and
scanty. 1t is almost as serious a loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade.
and the shining tresses of chestnut and
auburn are changed 10 gray or to a faded
shadow of their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer a necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of daudruff, and re-
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses.. DR.: Ayers Hair vigor is a stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes. and recommended by
everyone who has tested 1t and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. It makes hair grow. 1t restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out. 1t stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp of dandruff. and
gives the hair a thickness aud gloss that
no other preparation can produce.

ANDERSONIIIIE. A

IL~s notgenerally known, but it is q fact,
that the site of the Andersonyile prison
pen, tho most hideous spot in the late Con
federacy, is owned by the Georgia de-
partment of the Grand Army of the
Republic which purchased it six or seven
years ago from tho state. Also was
purchased some fifteen acres adjacent,
including the earthworks constructed for
the defense of the prison.
The whole property, some ninety acres,
has been turned over tn tho National
Woman's Relief Corps of tho q. A. r..
and that organization now proposes to
resolve tho property into memorial
park. thus adding one more to the
beautiful and significant national parks
recovered from the war scenes.
The old prison stockade is all gone
and so are the log cabins occupod by che
Federal prisoners aud about dozen of
the wolls that provided their scant water

days is known and will be marked.

A POLITICAL MURDER.

Political assassination appears to have
become epidemic. Hardly had the mur-
derer OF Senior Canovas Of Spain paid the
penalty for his frightful crime, when an
attempt was made to destroy the life OF
the president of France.
Now comes the news that President
2orda of Uruguay has fallen victim to
she assassin. lie was shot yesterday at
Montevideo while leaving church In
which services in oommemoration of
Urugusy's independence were held.
The murder was cold .blooded and de-
iiberate, but it cannot be said to have
been unexpected since previous attempts
had been made to make way with Presi-
dent Bords.
Never very popular, he had many
enemies He secured the post Of president
of the republic by narrow margin OF
votes and ever since he took the oath
of offise he has been the target at
which his enemies have aimed their
darts His Staying therefore, is attribu
bic entirely to local antsgonism and
antipathy.
That this sntagonism resulted in his
killing by the anarcbistic method does
not show that there is concerted move
ment on the part of Anarchists TO remove
by violence men high in authority in the
nations of the earth, as some people mis-
takenly imagine
1t simply shows that political fanatioism
can so warp the minds of men as Co re-
duce them to the level Of the barbarian
