tracted world wide attention in the
recent Olympic games at Athens.
Formerly trainer for Columbia COL

standard Of collegiate sports. A small
army of gentleman have been guided
by him since he left Harvard and took
his present position, superintendent
of the famous gymnasium of the Boston
athletic association.
Three Of his proteges, White, Brew

New England championship at the

When Mr., Graham, writing January
IS. 1897 said: 81 have used Pdine's
celery compound to my benefit, and l
have no doubt that any person
undergoing great physical and mental
strain would find it of great service.
For students especially it ought to be
of great value. When so prominent
a student Of bodily health, who has
no equal, unless, perhaps, one men.
tiOns DR.. Sargent Of Harvard, with
whose methods Mr.. Graham became
well acquainted at Harvard-when
Mr.. Graham says bluntly that after
his experience he believes Others
would find Paine's celery compound
of great service, what man or woman
out of perfect health can afford to
neglect his well considered and expert
advice!
There is no doubt that Paine's
celery compound cleans the blood of
eczema, salt rheum and such humors,
not only 10 the spring, that is so
favorable time. but at any time
during the year, so thoroughly that
nothing further is ever heard of them.
Paine's celery compound has been
tested, tried, scrutinized and heartily
approved by so many impartial
physicians and men and women whose
word in any matter would not be
questioned for a moment, that one
must be stubborn minded indeed who
prefers to NOPE around half sick in
stead of verifying these positive,
straightforward statements.

vestigatiOn and study, assisted by all
that was best in the progress of med.
iCal science at home and abroad, first
discovered the wonderful formula Of
Paine's celery compound.
There was no doubt of the interest
that would be awakened at once by
the announcement of any discovery
by Prof. Phelps. The formula from
the first was furnished to the best
physicians, and forthwith this re-
markable Paine's celery compound
was personally used and professionally
prescribed by them. The result Of
closest investigation might have been
expec ed. 1t soon required consider
able industry to produce the remedy,
and rapidly bat steadily, without
ceasing, the demand for Paines celery
compound has increased, until today
there is no other remedy that in
comparison begins to hold half the
attention that it holds.
In untold numbers of cases where
every other remedy has been tried
and failed, Paine's celery compound
has attained the wished.for results,
making the weak strong, purifying
the blood, rebuilding the wOrnOut
nervous tissue, curing chronic sickness
proving a never-failing and perma-
nentrelief for rheumatism, neuralgia,
kidney diseases and disorders of the
liver, all due to the impairment of
the PERSONS nervous system, the
consequent impOverishment of the
blood and the breaking down in
consequence Of some particular organ.

A Touching Scene.

A feature of Gen. John B. Gordon's
second appearance here Tuesday
night did more to wipe out the Bit
terneSS between the union and ex-
confederate soldiers in this city than
all the talk of years. 1t was the es-
cOrting of the old confederate leader
to the auditorium prior to his lecture
by the union soldiers, assisted by the
six ex-cOnfederate fighters of this
city.
The old veterans, north and south,
met and formed on the Arlington
corner that night at 5 O'Clock. The
union soldiers marched two abreast
and led the procession. General Cor
don marched in the rear of the union
soldiers and the eX-cOnfederates fol-
lowed Gordon. The march to the
auditorium began a few minutes past
s o'clock. Slowly and silently the
blue ard the gray bore the great
southern leader in unity to the audi
forum. The boys in blue marched
down the aisle and tn the rOstrum
to the tune of "MaTching Through
Georgia" At a given command
they opened ranks and the cOnfeder-
ate general with his followers
marched through the union ranks to
the old war tune of "Dixie" down
to tue platform. 1t was a scene to
soften mems hearts and prepare them
for a thorough appreciation of the
grand lecture that followed. As the
union soldiers opened ranks Henry s.
Carter, Who fought under General
Lee, and W. Fl. Tucker, who was one
OF MOrgan's raiders, marched first
through the union ranks, followed by
General Gordon leaning upon the
arm of President Geo. H. Hunter.
W. T. COwherd, who bore southern
arms in the 4th Ky. Infantry under
John c. Breckenridge, and Hardy Sol
ONION, who was major in the 18th
S. c. Reg. Infantry, followed General
Gordon. Then came j. NJ. Clayton,
who fought under Jackson, and John
Craig, who fought in the I'd KY. Cav
airy.
The blue and the gray took seats
together upon the stage, surrounding
General Gordon. The intrepid old
southern general was pale and looked
fully five years older than when here
last year. But his voice and intellect
are as strong as ever, and his lecture
that night seemed more interesting
than the one year ago. He told of
the scenes and strife 10 the south be.
fore Sumpter was fired upon and paid
a handsome and deserved tribute to
the mothers and sweethearts' infu
ence in that great civil strife Many
of those present, especially the ole
soldiers, We're visibly affected by hi:
talk. His lecture did not take on the
flavor Of sectional opinion, but was q
patriotic, grand and sublime orator
on the stirriGg scenes and incident,
that opened the war of '6l-'65.

The friends Of the British financial
system at indianapolis talked Of using
the head of Mr.. Jefferson as a ticket
emblem. Their predecessors during the
Revolution wanted Jefferson's head, and
they came by the feeling naturally.
Jefferson, the Democrat, could not de-
fend himself now against such appro-
priations made by aristocracy.
One extract from Mr.. Jefferson's
writings will show how well ~ he
would have approved their platform.

There is considerable sickness since
the cold weather set in.
T. A. Hubbard was member Of the
invalid corpse last week.
We had light snow Saturday night
that covered the ground, about inch
deep.
Percy Vile and wife and Harry Vile
visited their mother, Mrs. Ray the
first of the week.
The last January has been the cold
estfor five years except January, 1895.
February has averaged colder than
January the last three February's out
Of four.
The boys and girls made good use of
the ice last week. There were skat-
ing parties somewhere almost every
night, The largest one was on the
Pennypacker place. There were from
seventy-fve to a hundred there. They
came from miles around.
The roads are getting smooth again.
Several from this locality went tC
hear Prof. Shows lecture Saturday. The
Professor has not learned that we are
under the gold standard and that the
price of dollars have raised. He
claims that it requires just as many
dollars to carry on the state uDiver-
sity as it did II years ago, when wheat
was 81 and corn 30 cents bushel.
