Deaths BetrothaI.

A few years ago a New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic: "Is Marriage a Failure 7n The
answer is easy and upon the surface. Where
there is mutual love and respect, if there is
also health, marriage is a success. When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
a failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
50 often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock to people in ill-health. In a
case of this kind death turks on every side
in the kiss of betrothal and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who Is suffering
from ill-health Is a physical bankrupt, and
has no right to condemn a woman to be his
nurse. for life and the mother of babes that
inherit his physical weakness. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on
the digestive organism. It makes it strong
and its action perfect. When a mans d.
gestion Is all right his blood will be pure;
when his blood Is pure his nervous system
will be strong and his health vigorous.
A woman who suffers from weakness and
disease of the delicate organism of her sex
is certain to suffer from general i1l-health,
and to be an unhappy, helpless invalid and
q disappointment as a wife. Her children
will be weak, puny and peevish. A happy
home Is an impossibility for her until her
health Is restored DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription cures an troubles of the die
dnctly feminine organism. It cures them
speedily, completely and permanently. It
dts for wifehood and motherhood. Both
medicines are sold by all good dealers.

Mrs KlugeSutro has tw points which she will press upon the attention

We have all met the man who, in at

apparently misconceives the situation and
thinks that il is himself rather than the
man he is introducing who is TO make the
speech OF the evening This man is not
confined to any special locality. Ex-Presi-

such person. He says:
''Once in Southern Indiana, in a cam
paign, | was told there was a gentleman
holding the audience for my arrival.
When we came down to the platform and
the little stir that was made advised the
speaker OF my presence, he turned and
said:

bring my remarks to a close
However it was not convenient for him
TO close Just then, and he went on. After
a half hour he was reminded that ] was

was present, but still he had not found a
fitting place to close.

receive him in that manner, he was, as
Gen Hardee expressed it, dumped down"
in the neutral ground between the lines,
and left there. He then received hospi-
tally from the Confederates in the capac-
ity of u destitute stranger They do not
in any way receive him officially and it
does not suit the policy of either party to
be Unidentified with one another. He is
now living at private house in Shelby

Gen. Polk, on visit 10 Hardee. He told
the Generals that if Grant was severely
beaten in Mississippi by Johnston, he did
not think the war could be continued on

When ! presented my letters OF intro

the unvarying kindness and hospitality
which | had experienced from all other
Confederate officers. He is a fine, soldier
like man bread shouldered and tall He
looks rather like French officer and is a
Georgian by birth. He bears the reputa-

he is the author of the drill-bOok still in
