table. One of his ancestors had served
under the great Napoleon and had been
with him at Waterloo; another had fol-
! lowed the fortunes of Greene in his
Southern campaign and the losing fight
of Guilford Court House. 1t was the
fate and glory of the descendant to
be of the soldiers of Lee and for four
long years to battle and conquer and
/ lose under the colors of the greatest
army that ever moved across the pages
of history. Joining with the student
company at the university, he was lit
orally with the beginning of warfare,
and when that body, accomplishing its
mission i'm the seizure of Harper's Fer
ry, was disbanded by the Governor, he
promptly enlisted in the Albemarle Ar
tilery and, with such changes as cir
cumstances and promotions occasioned,
served with conspicuous gallantry and
devotion until the shattered remnants
of the army of Northern Virginia, in
the presence of silent and respecting
foe. stacked arms at AppomattoX Court
House, and so passed from active war;

4 Leader of Brave Men.
ITO name the battles in which he
fought would be to give brief sum-
mary of the military operations Of
that army. Much of his service was
with Fraser's battery. and of those
daring spirits which made the com>
mand illustrious Robert Falligant
was a leader.
THE war ended, he returned
to Savannah, and. having stud
led under Judge William Law. was
admitted to the bar of the Eastern
Circuit on the 18th of January, 1866.
In time he became a partner Of that
distinguished iurist and it is interest
ing to note that with his death has
ended a legal connection which, be-
ginning with John Mcpherson Ber-
rien, descended through Law and Bar
tow and Lowell to Falligant, covering
a century Of time. In 1882 he was
elected to the Lower House from Chat
ham, and i'm 1884 represented the First
district in the Senate. In 1889, on the
resignation of Judge Adams, he be-
came the judge of the Eastern. Judicial
Circuit of Georgia. and so continued
until his death Shortly after his re-
turn from the war he married Miss
Ellen Thomas of Augusta Ga. and
after her death Miss Sarah Thomas,
who, with Mrs. Ellen Carter, a daugh-
ter of his first marriage survive him.
The labors of the judge. as ex-

Reappea The Old Point Break Out Elsewhere, Perhaps Find lis

VIII add TO the Distress OF Danger from The Disease.

A distinguished specialist in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases, says:
Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and
inhalers cannot really cure catarrh,
because this disease is a blood disease,
and local applications, if they accom-
plish anything at ALL simply give tran
sient relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes tries to
relieve the system by secreting large
quantities. of mucous, the discharge
sometimes closing up the nostrils, drop
ping into the throat, causing deaf
ness by closing the eustachian tubes,
and after a time causing catarrh Of
the stomach or serious throat and
lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
NUT be an internal remedy which will
cleanse the blood from catarrhal pol
son and remove it from the system.
When this is done the local expression
of catarrh In the mucous membrane
will disappear

success attending the use of Stuart's

as readily as of other parts, no matter
where it turks in the system they will
cure it with equal ease and certainty.
The catarrh burdened sufferer has

the rest.

mucous membrane because it is of
finer and more delicate texture and
much easier affected. Thus it follows
that any remedy, to make a perma-
nent cure, must act on and through
the blood, and when the blood is puri-
fled from catarrhal poison the affected
skin or mucous membrane will be-
come natural and healthy.
Remember always that catarrh is
much more than just an ailment of
the nose. Catarrh is a systemic dis
ease perhaps oftener affecting the mu-
couS membrane lining the nose than
any other one place, but frequently
finding vent elsewhere.
Catarrh is the beginning of more dis

Catarrh of the outside skin or integ
