er at Lithia Springs
The lieutenautreached Atlanta
at $40 o'clock Monday morning
and for several MON tents the
naval sshcro was kept busy shak>
ing hands until each individual
had been saluted.
Mr.. Hobson received the at
tention shown him with the
GOODNESS which marked his deed
for daring on the Merrimac.
His manner was cordial and his
bearing modest.
At Austell there was a call for
the distinguished traveller to
come to the platform. to which
he responded.
When the train pulled up TO
the station at Lithia Springs
where the mother was waiting,
a crowd OF guests from tho
Sweet Water Park hotel had
gathered to JOIN i'll the welcome
The meeting between mother
aDd son was a pathetic one. The
son kissed his mother who threw
her arms around his neck and
for several moments rested her
head on his shoulder, shedding
tears of joy. The crowd stood
aside in reverence.
AS she walked up the lane
from the depot to the hotel lesn
ing Oh the arm of her boy her
face was aglow. Those two led
the way from the station and the
guests followed. Flags were
draped ovei the portiers and the

Of the Navy Depart

being a help to his fellow sea"
men if he refuses. The Lieut.
enant speaks very modestly OF
the attentions shown him since
he reached mere. lie appreciates |
it all, but his. manner shows that
he rather dislikes notoriety, and
would rather enjoy quiet and
less popularity. Mrs. Governor
Atkinson, oHe of the most active
workers in the Army and Navy
League, telephoned lieutenant
IIobson to day that the mem>
bers of the league were anxious
to give him a reception to-
afternoon. The Lieut.

LUDLOW PRAISED GARCIA'S
TROOPS.
From New York Journal.

The following letter, wAlcl
Was written by Geaersl William
Ludlow, who commanded th'
American right, to Genera
Garcia after the fall Of Santiago
seems 70 show that much eredii
is due to the Cubans troops fol
the services they rendered dur
ing the investment of the Span
ish stronghold, in spite of re-
ports to the contrary:
Near Santiago, Cuba,
July IS, 1898.
Dear General Garcia:
II beg to congratulate you as
we'll as ourselves on what seems
now to have been a fortunate
solution ofthe Santiago problem
resulting In the success of our
com bined forces in the taking of
the city, the departure of the
Spaniards and the restoration of
peace In Santiago.
"Permit me to say to you that
your forces have performed
notable service, and their work
has been invaluable to us, not
only In scouting and procuring
information, but in the vital
matter Of the construction Of
trenches and defences for the
investment of the city.
"Your people have accompIls>
ed an i'm mense amount Of this
work with almost no appliances
whatever, and have cheerful ,
surrendered the use Of them to
our own troops when the con
tinuation Of the investment
rendered it necessary to move
our regiments forward to the
right.
~ make this statement, Cen
eral, personally and not officially,
because l am but a subordinate
commander, but do so for tue
reason that l have been more
closely in touch with your for
CeS and have had better occasion |
to observe tLeir work and the
value of their cooperation than
perhaps any other.
"I desire to thank you also |
for the services of General San
chez and his troops which were
placed at my dispos ition, and l
desire 10 commend General
to your favorable con-
sideration. He has promptly
and willingly complied with
every demand l made on him,
and has performed valuable ser
vice in extending our right
flank to reach the cemetery and
cover the Cobre road.
Il shall take another occasion
10 thank you for the innumera
Die personal courtesies that you
and the officers Of your com>
nard have shown me, and
which l hope to have all oppor>
unity to repay Ill somewise
hereafter.
81 beg to remain your very
)bedient servant.

a cablegram from Madrid
says:
Spain accepts the principal
conditions of peace as set forth
! by the American Government,
and only the peace details are
needed to cause ali hostilities to
cease at once.
GA peace delegation will be
chosen at once to confer with
the representative of the United
States. The peace conditions set
forth by President Mckinley
we're discussed at length to-day
by Minister Sagasta, and at the
conclusion it was given out
officially that the terms of the
United States would be accept
ed. There are Cne or two amend
ments in the proposition of the
United States that Spain will
ask to be made, and if this is
done peace will be declared at
once.
LATER:
The Governments reply to
the American terms was forward
ed yesterday evening through
NJ. CaHbcn, and there is a strong
prospect that peace vii! be con-
Guided. 1t is not to be supposed
that the United States Governs
ment will object to representa-
tions being made oa the Philips
pine question and upon some
pecuniary claims which were
mootad by the United States in
the West Indies. Of all the
remaining main issues Spain
shows a disposition to assent to !
the American demands.

It's the best thing for the
hair under ali circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
