Modern authorities attribute to
an excess Of uric acid in the sys-

obscure nervous symptoms, have
their foundation in the uric acid

Of dealing with these cases IS to

Prof. P.cken Resigns.

AT the meeting of the Board of Ed
ucS ton last evening superintendent
Picken gave notice that he should not
be an applicant for reelection to the
position he now holds. This announce
ment will be received with the most
sincere regret by great majority OF
the citizens of lola, not only by reason
of the loss which the schools will
suffer but on account of the loss which
the church and social circles of the
town will suffer in the removal of Mr..
Picken and his cultured and capable
wife. The lola schools have always
borne a fine reputation, but never has
this reputation been higher or better
deserved than during the five years
they have been under the wise, firm,
conscientious and sympathetic diIec-
ton of W. :. Picken, and the town
will be fortunate indeed if it secures
successor that will not suffer by
comparison. If there is any way by
which Mr.. Picken can be brought to
reconsider his action it ought to be
taken. But if there is no way then
lola will give him an unqualified en-
dorsement'to the fortunate communi-
ty that may he able to secure his
services.

The Power OF a Bullet.

Captain Il. :. Slower, who obtained
his experience in tt e great Civil war,
was telling story the other day
which illustrates the great power of
modern firearms.
Slower and his company had made
an advance and had been repulsed
aud driven back. He was running
rapidly with his rubber blanket
across one arm, haYlng thrown away
his gun. A bullet passed IN front of
him cutting right through his rub
Der blanket and cutting his vest and
shirt across his abdomen. He tumb-
led complete summersault and was
positive he was shot through and
through half a dozen times. When
he got up aud looked to see what
damage he had sustained he found
that the bullet had barely grszed his
person leaving n mark like blow
from stick across the abdomen. The
effect of he bullet thar made that
scratch was to fell him exactly Ms ii
he had been struck across the stOm-
ach with n club. Fortunately for
Mr.. Slower, he was at that Time u
slender youth much after the style of
his son Lutte. Had he been possessed
OF his present portIy physique, he
said, the bullet would have puuctuIed
him squarely in the middle. Hun.
dreds of similar incidents show the
power of II bullet when it passes close
to the body aud speak convnclngly
of the damage resulting when the
bullet gets turned loose in the intern
al human anatomy.

and If some party who owns thresh-

crusher there Is no doubt he could
secure plenty of such work, as there
is an abundance of rock close to the

the officials think different they
should sell or rent it and use the
money for some other purpose.

REVERENCE FOR VALOR.

Let this be our anniversary Of rev.
erence-reyerence for fortitude, patri-
otism, liberty, union, for the supreme
surrender of home, happiness, life
and love which those who died in
these wars endured. They had faith
They died for their faith. No higher
tribute can fall upon their graves
With them, for us at least, there rs no
death, no departure, no separation
These honored dead are with us as
when we cheered the resolute cofumn
which went sweeping to the wars
They will pass in review before the
shades of their mighty captains as
they did in the old days What they
did is our own. Their achievements
are our heritage. Their valor is our
pride. Their example is q legacy be-
yond that Of ransoms or prineipali-
ties. The one tribute we can paw
them is in the veneration with which
we approach their graves. And from
this generation let us likewise take
and cherish that noblest lesson of pa
trlotism for which they gave their
IlVes--John Russell Young.

GOING TO THE WAR.

INV last recollection of the camp in
which we were mustered in" said the
old soldier, was of my mother. We
had been in camp for days, for weeks,
in fact, filling up the regiment and
drilling and getting equipped and get
ting ready generally. Finally we were
mustered in, and the next day after
that we started. 1t was nightfall
when we fell in for the last time in
the company streets Of our first camp
and marched out and formed on the
color line There was a great crowd
there, relatives and friends and sight
seers come to see the regiment off.
In front of my own company l could
see my father and mother, come to
see the last Of their boy before ne
went to war. I was the apple Of my
mothers eye, l knew that, and I had
expected to see her break down COM
pletely when the regiment marched
away, but she stood as firm as a
rock. When the regiment came
home, we marched up through the
same street that we had marched
down years before-night again it
was too-with a band of music, with
fireworks flying everywhere, and with
crowds on the sidewalk cheering, to
the town hall, where there was ban
quet and speech from the mayor,
and so on. When this was nearly
over, my father and my brother, who
had come to meet me, went to tell
my mother 1 was coming. Home
was half a mile or more away. A
bunch of us men Of the regiment,
started from the hall together. They
fell off one after another until finally
went on alone along the familiar
street. 1t was bright moonlight.
Far ahead at the corner of the street
down which l must turn for home, !
saw her. She was waiting.
when I had come to her, she lifted
up her hands and pronounced my
name. That was all. And then her
arms were about my neck and my

WE KEEP MEMORIAL DAY.

When the May has culled her flowers
for the summer waiting long,
And the breath of early roses woos
the hedges into song,
Comes the throb of martial music and
the banners in the street,
And the marching of the millions
bearing garlands fair and sweet
IT'S the Sabbath of the Nation, tits
the floral feast of May!
In remembrance of our heroes
We keep Memorial Day.
They are sleeping in the valleys, they
are sleeping meath the sea,
They are sleeping by the thousands
till the royal reveille;
Maidens, fair maidens and matrons
And the children-God bless them,
are there
With the fathers and sons and the
brothers,
And the choicest of offerings they
bear.
Creations. grand eloquence breathing,
With the chants of dead and the
grave,
Rise up in an incense of glory
Ger the last resting place of the
brave.
Land of the free, on thy honor,
Keep sacred this day in thy trust,
Remember the deeds of thy heroes,
Forget not where slumbers their
dust.
Bring garlands, fresh garlands in
spring time
And strew them with tears DER the
graves
The blessings of God Will rest ever
On the land that is worthy her
braves.
Sherman D. Richardson.
