The Reunion.


The old Veterans report the
Memphis reunion as the biggest
and grandest affair they have ever
had, and that they were better
treated by the management than
ever before. They had big tent
covering nearly an acre of ground,
where they fed on first-class NUT
ton, beef, rice beans and forty
cent coffee, every Confederate sol
der that would eat there. They
ted over 10000 every day. Gov.
McMillin said of our Obion Com
pany OF Confederates that went
armed that he was proud Of them
and that no company in the South
made better showing, Mrs. p.
Williams, Of Hornbeak, and Miss
Fannie Mcdowell, of Union City,
marched with the company on foot,
while others rode in carriages and
kept the old Vets standing in line
for two hours waiting for them to
get their carriages after the hour

commended by the generals in

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All Doctors have tried to cure Ca
tarrh by the use Of powders, acid gases
inhalers and drugs in paste form
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely
eaten away the same membranes that
their makers haveaimed to cure, while
pastes and ointments can not reach
the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years
made q close study and speciality Of
the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a Treatment which when
faithfully used tonly relieves at once
but permanently cures Catarrh by re-
moving the cause, stopping the dis
charges and curing the Inflammation.

ence that actually reaches the affiict-
ed parts. This wonderful remedy is

''Snuffies" Is the only perfect Ca
tarrh Cure ever made, and is now
recognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all inflammation

Treatment of oOlOred People.

Aunt Amanda Irvine surprised a
good many white people Tuesday
by seeking entrance at their front
doors, and asking to be allowed to
show her samples of silverware,
which were contained in a neat,
attractive sample case. When the
Commercial reporter saw "Aunt
Mandy" she had taken several or
ders, all from 1.-THE white folks, ,
and she had met with no discour-
tesy or unkindness. She was re-
spectful, neat in appearance, and
and intellectually bright, though
she is a full-blooded negro, of
deepest ebony hue. This would be
an excellent case to bring to the
weeping sisters of the North, WHO
are in so much anguish over the
bad treatment the negroes receive
at the hands of the white people
of the South. This woman, in
stead of being mistreated, is being
encouraged and assisted, as she
should be, to make an honest liv-
ing.
