Jollity and exhuberant health are a pro-
verbal combination The hearty man who
is always laughing doesn't have any trouble
with his digestion. It has been said that
laughing makes people healthy. The truth
is that health makes people laugh.
1t is impossible to estimate the ire
mendous influence of health upon human
character. A man with a headache will
not be in a happy, contented frame of
mind A man who suffers from weak
stomach and an impaired digestion will sit
and gruuble through the best meal ever
prepared. A bilious man who is not
bore, is deserving of place in museum.
A nervous man who is not petulent and
fault finding is a curiosity. Ali these con-
ditions lead to grave diseases, when the
victim becomes not only disagreeable, but
dependent as we'll wise wife will real
lie that while the old saying that mans
heart is in his stomach" is not literally
true, it is a fact that his stomach sweetens
or sours his character according as it is
healthy or unhealthy. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best of medicines
for the conditions described. 1t makes
the weak stomach strong, the impaired
digestion perfect, invigorates the liver,
purifes and enriches the blood and tones

LIEUT.. MUDD MARTIN,
Of the First Alabama, Promoted From
 Second to First Lieutenant.

Lieutenant William Mudd Martin of the Woodlawn Light Infantry has been pro- noted fom the second to first lieutenancy of his company. He is now on a furlough in Birmingham visiting relatives.
 The other day, after the election took place, about fifteen of his fellow officers took 1t upon themselves to notify him of his promotion and to congratulate him upon 1t. The mails were too slow for their purpose, consequently the telegraph wires were brought into service.
 Fifteen nice long messages were written and fired into the lucky lieutenant in Bir- mingham. To make them all the more im- pressive, they were sent "collect," and his friends in town say that it will take all of the incerase in salary that he will get be- fore his regiment is mustered out to pay for them.

Guards of East Lake. As a dsciplinarian he had no superior in the regiment. He en- joyed the respect and confidence of his men, who recognized his competency as an officer and his worth as a man.
 His patriotism to country and state, which was always manifest, was kindled to a high state of enthusiasm when war was declared against Spain, and he at once laid down the duties of his civil life to give his time and attention to assist in raising Ala bamas quota under the presidents call.
 His spirit of Americanism was aroused at the blowing up of the United States battle- ship Maine in Havana harbor He was one of the promoters of and presiding officer of the grand patriotic demonstration held at the Auditorium on April Il last for the purpose of raising funds for a monument to be erected to the memory of the mar tyred crew of the ill-fated battleship.
 At this meeting Captain Hart delivered one of the most patriotic addresses of the evening, in the course of which he said it was the duty of every true American to sacrifice his life if necessary in the cause of his country. /
 From Minnesota
 Captain Hart came to Birmingham in 1890 from Delvan, Minn., where his mother and relatives reside. He was associated with the Amos Ward Business college as pro- lessor of stenography and typewriting for several years, and severed his connection with the college to accept position in the office of the Richmond and Danville Rail- road company, which then controlled the lines now opearted by the Southern. Short ly after his arrival in the city he became a member of the Birmingham Rifles and soon rose from the ranks to a lieutenancy, which office he filled with credit.
 Later he was called from the first lieu tenancy of the Birmingham Rifles to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Cap tain Robert Huey of the Huey Guards of East Lake, the members recognizing in him a man of fine military ability.
 About three years ago he resigned his commission and left for Jacksonville. Fla, where he accepted lucrative position in the office of the Georgia Southern and Flor mingham about fifteen months ago and accepted the position of private secretary and stenographer to the well-known law firm of Lane White.
 At the outbreak of the late war he again associated himself with the Huey Guards, which company at the time was practically disorganized. Partly through his efforts the Huey Guards were recognized, and on the memorable May day were among the gallant troops who left this city for Mobile, where they were mustered into the service of tine government.

Again the weird sound of taps will mourn out funeral requiem and the military salute will ruff1e the leaves about a mound of earth. Again it is member of the First Alabama who will be laid to rest. A man clothed with the insignia of commissioned officer, and one of the bravest, most courageous and universally popular men of Alabama's band of warrior heroes.
 in St. Luke's hospital, at Jacksonville Fla, at 3:12 o'clock yesterday morning, the soul of Captain George F. Hart of Company L was called to eternal command among the legions of the dead.
 Captain Hart was among the first to an- swer the call to arms, and gallant soldier that he was, he bravely laid down his life at the altar of his country's honor and died a hero.
 telegram from Jacksonville early yes- terday morning announcing the death of Captain Hart came as a shock to his many friends in this city, who, although prepared for the worst, were unable to realize that the brave captain was no more, and that his once familiar form, strong in the vigor of youth and manhood, was now wrapped in the cold embrace of death.
