Watches at a Price !


Men do not as rule make the
mistake of buying bargain watches.
but they frequently make an equally
costly mistake.
Nine men out of every ten fiatter
themselves that they know good
watch when they see it.
They are careless about the re-
pute and responsibility of the firm
they buy from; and live to regret it.
1t is our rule never to sell a watch
that we cannot guarantee an accurate
time keeper. Having bought largely
of the following, these prices will rule
as long as they last:
Is size Silverine case, (dust
proof screw bezel, Elgin or

The J. E. B. Stuart Chapter held a
delightful meeting on Wednesday
when annual reports were read. A
Jackson camp of veterans and other
friends who assisted so generously to
make the Grand Division convention
one to be remembered. Contributions
were made to the Virginia window in
old BlandfOrd church at Petersburg,
and to the Winnie Davis dorinitory in
the Normal School at Athens, Ga.
The third appeal was at once granted
to aid in John a. Reagan fountain
in Palestine, Texas, where the Chapter
has his name. AS this sole survivor
of the Confederate cabinet is seriously
ill, all hearts were touched.
The delegates and alternates to the
u. d G.. convention in Wilmington,
N. e., on Nov. 18th, are as follows j:
Mrs. S. T. Mccullough, Mrs. G. g..
Gooch, Miss Charlotte A. Ransom,
Miss Elizabeth McCue, Mrs. Henry
Hutchinson, and Misses Elizabeth
Jones, Mary Haines and Lucy Lee
Powell.
The next meeting will be on Nov.
20, when the officers will be elected for
1901 2. and the re-furnishiDg of the
Confederate room at the King S
Daughters Hospital will be completed,
and the delegates to Wilmington will
make their reports.
The Chapter is growing, and does
great good in aiding aged veterans
and their wives or widows. They will
sell the Davis calendars again at 25c
for the monument fund, and serve as
the auxiliary to Stone wall jackson
camp.

Reading as a Cure.

The practice Of reading aloud at
regular intervals is Of great benefit to
any one affected with a chest COM
plant. In all cases Of lung trouble
it is important to indulge in those eI-
ercises by which the chest is iu part
filed or emptied Of air, and reading
aloud, singing and whistling are three
Of those exercises.
Their. are many who cannot sing,
and we DO not expect the fair sex TO
whistle, but reading aloud can be
practiced by all. Care must be taken
not to overdo it, Of course, and the
body should be in such a position as
to allow the chest to have free play.
Reading aloud, if We pay attention
to what we are doing, will not only
be beneficial from the standpoint Of
health, but will also have the effect Of
making us better speakers BY teach
ing US proper modulations Of the voice
and by increasing our knowledge.
This is where it has the advantage
over whistling and singing.
