The Williams family long noted for
wealth. culture and ability. were the
prime movers on the establishment Of
the great Confederate cemetery at Win
chester, the model for all others Mt the
South, OF which it was, | believe, the
very first. For the Confederate cause
in all its many forms, Col. Williams and
his sisters worked TO the last-and
worked intelhgently and effectively.

A TEST EXPERIMENT.
Peculiar Power Possessed by a New
Medicine.

Of new discoveries there is no end, but
one of the most recent, most remarkable
and one which will prove invaluable 10
thousands of people, is discovery which
it is believed will take the place of al!
other remedies for the cure of those
common and obstinate diseases, dyspep-
STA. and stomach troubles. This discov-
cry is not a loudly advertised, secret
patent medicine, but is a scientific COM
bination of wholesome, perfectly harm
less vegetable essences, fruit salts, pure
pepsin and bismuth.
These remedies are combined in To-
zenge form, pleasant to take, and will pre-
serve their good qualities indefinitely,
whereas all liquid medicines rapidly lose
whatever good qualities they may have
had as soon as uncorked and exposed TO
the air.
This preparation is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and it is claimed that
one of these Tablets or lozenges will di-
gest from 800 to 5000 times its own
weight of meat, eggs and other whole
some food. And this claim has been
proven by actual experiments in the fol-
lowing manner: A hard boiled egg cut in
tanning warm water heated to ninety
eight degrees Tor blood heat, one of
the Tablets was then placed in
the bottle and the proper tenn
perature maintained for three hours
and a half, at the end of which
time the egg was as completely digested
as it would have been in healthy
stomach. This experiment was under
hat hat NxNnIl Il
do in a bottle it would also do in the
stomach, hence its unquestionable value
in the cure of dyspepsia and weak diges-
ton. Very few people are free from
some form Of digestion but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms. Some
will suffer most from distress after eat
ing. bloating from gas in the stomach
and bowels, others have acid dyspepsia
or heartburn, others palpitation or head
aches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and
under shoulder blades, extreme nervous
ness as in nervous dyspepsia, but they
all have same cause, failure to properly
digest what is eaten. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets give ut both, by
dgesting the food for it and in a short
time it is restored to its normal action
and vigor. At same time the Tablets
are so harmless that a child can take
them with benefit. This new preparation
| has already made many astonishing
cures, as for instance, the following:

the fact that vast sums of money are

cape taxation owing to neglect of duty
and criminal carelessness of assessors
and boards of county commissioners.
There is no question but that the audi
tor is right. What is needed, and need
ed greatly, is Il revenue system that will
provide for u full. fair and honest assess
ment Of taxable property; a full, fair and
honest collection of tax levies. The
power heretofore assumed by county
commissioners to abate taxes by the
wholesale should be taken away by
direct and stringent enactment. 1t has
been productive of nothing but harm and
