An Oyster Supper

The tircmen very pleasantly
surprised their popular chief, Ed
Carmichael, last night, with d
bounteOuS oyster supper. About
fifty fircmen and their friends
were present. The long table
was spread and oysters, stcwcd
and raw, coffee, and all Of the ac-
cessOrieS that go with a we'll reg
ulated oystersssuppcr, were there
in abundance and We're eagerly
consumed by the gentlemen.
To celebrate the dry, or through
choice, there was an entire alb
sence of anything Of a bibluous
nature, and the only "good
cheer" was that of good fellow
ship and the pleasant condition OF
nlnd that follows after satisfy
ing the inner man.
Considerable discussion took
place regarding advancement and
betterment of matters pertaining
to the fire department., and at a
short business session several
new applications for membership
were received. 1t was further
decided to kavc n meeting Of the
department next Tuesday, when
a "Firemen' Club" will be or
ganizcd, social organization, to
which the boys propose to have a
membership of POO.
The fircmen desire us TO thank
the merchants who responded
yesterday to their requests for
articles needed for the supper,
and assure those who did not
that they will be given an oppor-
tunity next time.

PECULIAR P0iS0kS
IN TIE HUMAN
BODY
The Result Of Imperfect Digestion
of Food

Every living thing, plant or
animal, contains within itself the
germs Of certain decay and death.
In the human boiy these germs
Of disease and death tcalIcd by
scientists PtOmainSl, are usually
the result Of imperfect digestion
Of food; the result Of Indigestion
or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weak
ness, does not promptly and
thoroughly digest the food. The
result IS heavy. sodden mass
which fermcnts (the first process
of decay poisoning the blood.
making ii thin, weak and lacking
in red corpuscles; poisoning the
brain, causing headaches and
pam in the eyes.
Bad digestion irrltatcs the
heart, causing plipitation and
finally bringing on disease Of this
very important organ.
Poor digestion pCiSOnS the kid
ncys, causing Bright's disease
and diabetes.
And This is so because every
organ, every nerve depends upon
the stomach alone for nouriSh-
ment and renewal. and weak di-
gestlon shows itself not only in
loss Of appetite and flesh, but in
weak nerves and muddy complex
ion.

The idea prevails that the big guns
on which our warhips and fortflca-.
tions depend, can be fired comparative.
ly few times, and one story fixes the
limit at seventy-nine times, and when.
drngs are allowed for practice there
is little usefulness of the gun left II
the estimate is correct.
Fortunantly the New York Sun has
been looking into the subject, and it
finds that these notions come from
the tests Of foreign guns. Our own
American-made guns have yet to give,
out. There is one of fO-inch caliber on
the Mianotonom0h that haS been fred
more than two hundred times, and
still seems as good az new. We
began the manufacture OF stich guns
in this country about eleven years ago.
and up to the present time not one of
the home made guns has given out.
1t is the opinion OF the experts that,
every gun will stand. at least three
hundred flrings, and that all! that we
have mounted or afbat will serve
through the war and be ready for bust,
mesa when it is oyer. This is very
reassuring for the foreign estimate,
was that a elton gun would do for l2c
rounds, and one of no tons for IS
rounds, and that after that they were
not up to their work.

The Courier.Journal sees flush times

that when the present war with Spain
is over we shall control Porto Rico,
the Philippines and Sandwich Islands,

maintain a larger standing army and
large, efficient navy. We must build
a canal across the isthmus of Panama
All this means that thousands oil

withdrawn from ordinary pursuits,
that new fields will be opened for the

THE TONGUE.


THE boneless tongue, so small and weak,
Can crush and kill" declared the Greek.
''The tongue destroys n greater horde"
The Turk asserts, than does the sword"
The Pessian proverb wisely sairh,
"a lengthy tongue ian early DEATH"
Or sometimes takes this form instead.
Don't let your tongue cut off your head"
THE tongue can speak word whose speed
Say the Chinese, "outstrps the steed"
While Arab sages this impart;
"The tongues great storehouse Is the heart
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung
Tho feet should slip, neer let the tongue
The sacred writer crowns the whole

How UNCLE SAM FEEDS His SOL
DIERs.-There Is general impression,
that soldiers ration consists Of q.
moderate supply of bread, meat, coffee
and sugar. This is wide OF the mark.
The food supply of the army is abun-
dam in quantity, excellent in quality,
and Of satisfying variety, as will be
shown by the following statement Of
allowances,
The component parts Of aration are
meat, bread, dry and fresh vegetables, J,
coffee, sugar, seasonings, soap and
candles. When cooking is practica-
bic, soldier receives daily pound
and ounces OF fresh beef or mutton;
or II ounces Of pork or pound and 8
ounces Of salt beef. When meat can.
not be furnished, he receives, in lieu
thereof, Il ounces OF dried fish or I

TOUCHING EXHIBITION OF RE-
GARD FOR A FORMERSLAVE.
New York Pref.

New York PreA
Gen. Barnum, OF Abbcville, s. c.,
bad a body servant before the war who
aped him in everything. Peter so
loved his master that he grew to talk
like him, act like him and almost look
like him. He lives to-day the heart
Of hospitality, the soul Of honor. On
Sunday two white men drove up to the
door OF his cabin and asked il he had
any liquor in the house. He said he
had about quart. They offered to
buy. He refused to sell, but just as
his old master would have done, in
vited them to have drink. Having
drunk they handed him half dollar.
or course, like his master, he declined
the coin. The scoundrels went to town
and swOre oat a complaint that he was
violating the dispensary laws.
l happened to be in Greenville the
other day when the trial took place,
and saw revelation. Peters coun-
sci was Gen. Barnum's son, Adjutant-
General OF the State under Gov, John
Gary Evans, and the chief witness for
the defense was the General himself,
who had come over from Abbeville,
distant about hundred miles, to say
a word for his former sslave. The
General took the stand, and his son
said:
| What is your name?"
81 am Gen. Barnum, SIR"
"Where do you reside?"
sin Abbeville, sir"
"How long have you known the de-
fendant?"
"SiXty-flve years, SIR"
"What is his reputation?"
"As good as any mans in this court
room, SIR"
Would you trust him?"
"Trust Peter?" Why, I'd trust hin
with my life, my n0n0r."
The jury didn't leave their seats.
The scene "sorter touched me Up.
l met young Barnum and asked il
he received anything for his services
accept fee from Peter?" he said, ir
amazement. "Why, sir, I'd as soor
think of charging my father"
"You and your father come 100 miles
to clear this old negro?"
Eyes, and we would have come
thousand or ten thousand. Old Pete
was a second father to me. He RAISED
me. When l was well he played Will

When l was boy I'd rather sleep ii
Peters cabin than 10 my own bed al

Know ye fair summer girl that to be
strictly up-to-date you must be shirt
waist girl OF the severcst type. Men
speak OF the shirt waist girl as neat,
sweet and complete, as though there
were only one Of her, whereas there is
at least half dozen types, the very
most stunning Of which wears a
white pique skirt, white tucked lawn
shirt, a red, white and blue belt and a
round collar and very large and gor-
geous, ascot tie. Irene Howard says
in the Washington Post:
wish Hamlet were here to give
the shirt waist girl talking to. He
would do it in this wise, l fancy:
"Wear the shirt waist, | pray you.
as | demonstrate to you, nattily upon
the form; but II you bag it, as many
of you summer girls do,sI had as lief
the town butcher wore the thing. Nor
do not trim it up too much with cheap
lace thus, but use all tastefully; for in
the very dash, effectiveness, l may say
glory. Of your summer costumes, you
must beget a masculinity that may
give them sweetness. O, it often Of
fends me to the soul to see nose
hated, curly-headed girl trim shirt
waist with ruffles, with laces, aye,
even with ribbons, to draw the admir-
alton of mere men, who for the most
part are capable of nothing but cheal
soda water treats and cheap Aattery.'
Here are some shirt waist sayings
that may be OF service;
"rell me what kind Of shirt wais
she wears and III tell you who she Is.
ut is better to be dead than to b
slouchy."
"A safety pin at the back OF your
waist is better than dozen anywhere
else."
"a chiffon veil hides multitude OF
SINS"
"A penny In piquc saves nine In
laces."
"There is an irou.bound law that
shapes our shirt waists, rough hew
them how we may"

AN EARNEST AND URGENT APPEAL
BY CHAPLAIN KEEN.
Camp Thomas. Chickamauga,


Camp Thomas, Chickamauga,
National Park, Ca, June 8, 1898.
Col. J, L. Power, jackson, Misc.
My Dear Sir, The regimental hos:
pitfalls are not equipped with comforts
and conyeniences by the United States
government at this place any more
than they were at Jackson, hardly, as
we'll, for there they 'were furnish
ed with bed sacks ard hay, but
here our sick boys, like the rest, have
to sleep on the. bare ground. Now, l
think that II the folks at home only
knew the exact situation they would
surely come to the relief Of the sick
boys, therefore l make this appeal to
Mississippi through you and assure
you that the relief sent will be con-
scientiously used to help the sick. We
ought to have at least "a cots, pillows,
clean linen, ect., right away. Besides,
we ought to have q fund to buy eggs,
beef tea, chickens, ice and other.
things needed in a hospital. The
government furnishes none Of these
things.
BY borrowing, begging and using
my own limited means we are looking
after them in fashion. One or two.
companies have little fund they are
using for their sick men, but the ma.
jority are sorely in need. This appeal
has the endorsement of the regiment,
al surgeon who is dping all. he can to
relief suffering. We have quite a
number in the hospital, but none
dangerously i'll. The death rate 10
some other regiments is quite large.
Your friend and brother,
