VISIT TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.

But to hurry on. The party reached
Chattanooga about o'clock, and after din
ner went out to Lookoat Mountain, one Of
the most celebrated and historic works Of
nature in America. Lookout Mountain is
full of historic interest, and it affords 8
sublime view Of parts of Tennessee and
neighboring States, but what most attracted
the Carolina editors was the wonderful new
double cable incline. This incline is a con-
bination cable and electric line. and won
derful piece Of railroading. Although it is
only 300 feet in length, it covers rise Of
1850 feet. At the top of the incline the
car goes up almost perpendicularly, and the
bottom of the mountain seems miles and not
feet away, It's very much like going mile
in an elevator, only the surrounding country
is taken in, and the situation is fully ex-
posed, while in an elevator there IS no look
ing I'D or down. Everyone went up the IL.
cline, but when they did so they promised
themselves that they would not make the
ascent again; once was enough for them.
At all events it is an experience worth
the taking. The press party then went out
to Point Lookout to take in the surrounding
landscape. The books say that from Point
Lookout one can see into seven States, viz:
Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky;
but, Of course, the afternoon of the visit had
to be cloudy, and 8 full view could not be
gained. 1t was not, however, too cloudy
for the enterprising photographer 10 get UP
souvenirs for the party.
HcKAMAUGA BATTLEFIELD.
The feature Of the day trip Was the visit
to the battlefield, now the park Of Chicka-
mauga. History has pnt this down as one
of the most sanguinary and important battles
and its terrific slaughter may be gathered
from these official figures:
Rosecrans-hilled, 1867; wounded, 9,I5G;
missing 4,757; a large number Of the missing
were killed. Total effective force $50;
loss 1910.
Bragg-Killed, 1889; wounded zap;
missing zoos. Total effective force. 65'55';

Current Press Comment.

The congress of the United States
makes very great mistake in turning
against the extension of free delivery Of
mail through the country districts. The
odds are large enough now against the
back country and in favor OF the city.
Common justice demands that instead Of
cheapening postage or increasing the
number ofdeliverles in the cities, the more
isolated districts should have some share

IN THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Disbursing Officer Glad to Recommend
Paine's Celery Compound.

No department at Washington just
now so absorbs the attention of the peo-
pie as the splendidly-growing, formidable
navy. 1t is not to the gold-laced Annap-
oils graduates that the brunt OF the re-
sponsible work falls, but to the able de-
partment officials, of whom Discussing
officer F. H. Stickney is one. A letter
from him says:
Having taken Paine's celery COM
pound for the last few weeks, | have
found it a perfect spring remedy, and
been much benefited by it."
Spring is the decisive time in the life of
every person out of health. 1t is an
assured fact that stubborn disorders be.
come quickly durable in the spring. This
is especially true Of such persistent
troubles as rheumatism, neuralgia, and
obstinate kidney diseases.
No one sick or well, can afford to "trv'
uncertain remedies in spring, or any
other time.
The dishonesty of many selfnamed
spring remedies becomes startlingly APP
parent when their results are compared
with the results obtained from this accu-
rate, scientific preparation, Paine's Gel
cry compound. The general practice
among careful people of purifying the
blood and toning up the nerves in the
spring has tempted scores of incompe-
tent persons, schemers and clerks, with
only dangerous smattering of medical
knowledge, to venture to concoct So
called spring remedies.
In sharp contrast with these risky
preparations is the one valuable spring
remedy worthy the name in the estima-
ton OF competent persons AMI medical
authorities, Paine's celery compound
This widely praised and widely priced
remedy really does make people well. 1t
is as far removed, in the midst of judi
cious men and women, from all other
remedies purporting to accomplish equal
results, as the north is from the south.
Clear-headed professional men, business
men and the great body of hard working
brain workers all over the country be.
lieve heartily, and with good reason, in
Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound gets its
staunchest endorsement from physicians
and scientific men who were led to verify
its claims because of it's discoverer, the
distinguished Dartmouth college pro-
lessor, Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LII. D.
Nothing will pull tired-out, nervous,
rundown" man or woman out of the
quagmire OF sinking health so promptly
and firmly as Paine's celery compound.

The French say "it is the impossible
that happens" This has proved to be the
case with the Mount Lebanon Shakers.
The whole scientific world has been labor
ing to cure dyspepsia, but every effort
seemed to meet with defeat. The suffer-
ing from stomach troubles has become
almost universal. Multitudes have no
desire for food and that which they do
eat causes them pain and distress. Sleep
less nights are the rule and not the ex-
ccepton, and thousands of sufferers have
become discouraged.
The Shakers OF Mount Lebanon recently
came to the front with their new diges-
tive cordial, which contains not only
food already digested, but it is digester
of food
1t promptly relieves nearly all forms OF
indigestion. Ask your druggist tor one
