A Woman'S Wealth.
Paine'S Celery

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

It is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF ITS
women. The general conditions which con
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst whoJ
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion OF life power, nave
become weak, nervous, sleePiess, and debiii-
tated.

A VALUABLE MEXICAN WAR RELIC
Historic Flag of Colonel Jefferson Davis Regiment,
the First Mississippi, Which Was Organized
in Columbus IN 1916.

this company from Columbus the
Tombigbee volunteers assembled
at the residence Of Major Thomas
Blewitt, for the purpose of re-
ceiving from the hands of the
fair daughter Of this old South
ern home a beautiful silk flag, the
handiwork of the ladies Of Coll
umbus. The flag was received
by Ensign George W. Camp
bell, who pledged that it should
be honored and protected even
unto the sacrifice of life if need
be, a pledge which was after
wards faithfully kept.
After leaving Columbus the
company rendezvOused at Vicks-
burg, and was mustered into the
service Of the United States as a
part Of the famous First Missis-
ippi regiment. On the organiza-
ton of the regiment, Alexander
K. McClung was elected heuten-
ant colonel and ". p. Rogers.
of Aberdeen, succeeded him as
captain of the Tombigbee volun-
teers. The flag Of this company
became, by common consent, the
flag OF the regiment. It was
triumphantly b-rne through the
war and at the battle of Monterey
was twice shot out of the hands
of the brave color sergeant, Geo.
w. Campbell. At Buena Vista
it proudly flung its folds to the
breeze and bade defiance to the
foe when the line Of the First
Mississippi was ordered to move
forward at the ravine, where tae

jackson. Feb. 2l.-The depart
ment of archives and history IS
much elated over the discovery
of most interesting relic of the
Mexican war in the shape of the
historic flag of the First Misslss-
issippi regiment, commanced by
Colonel Jefferson Davis. This
battle SCARED emblem of the val
or and heorism of Mississippi 5
brave sons in the Mexican war
has been located in Texas and
the department will make every
effort to get it for the museum OF
historical relics to be established
in the new capitol.
The flag has been guarded as
a sacred thing for the last nifty
seven years in the family of
George W. Campbell, the gallant
ensign who bore it in the bloody
fields, where the regiment of Col.
Davis saw heroic service. Its
story is fraught with the deepest
historic interest to the people OF
Mississippi, especially at this
time, when they are consumahng
the deal for Beauvoir as an ever
lasting memorial to Jefferson
Davis.
This flag was the flag Of the
''Tombigbee Volunteers" a COM
pany which was organized at
Columbus by Alexander Nc
Clung in 1S46, and its ranks were
filled with the youth and chivalry
of Lowndes and Monroe counties.
On the day of the departure OF

to the American army by the
brave stand it took. History
records that the American army
was outnumbered . to l at Buena
Vista and was only saved from
defeat by the heroic conduct of
the First Mississippi. Col. Davis,
with one of The United States
engineers, selected the position
and formed the regiment into the
shape of an inverted Y and when
the Mexican laneers struck the
deadly angle they melted away
like mist.
At the first meeting Of the
United Confederate Veterans AT
New Orleans this old nag was
kept at headquarters and re-
c eiyed reveren6aI attention.
Mrs. Davis took the deepest in
terest in it and sent her kindest
regards 70 the noble women VINO
had 50 safely guarded and treas
ured the sacred emblem.
On another occasion this old
flag was used to drape the por-
trait of Mr.. Davis while a beyy
of beautiful girls grouped around
It and sang. The Bonnie Blue
Flag" And it was this same
old flag that draped the bier Of
the Hero of the Lost Cause when
he was laid to rest at Richmond.
The flag is now in the posses
sion of Mrs. StrattOn Tamplet-
of Brennan, Texas. a daughter
of Ensign Geo. W. Campbell, Of
the First Mississippi, who offers
to sell the flag to the state to be
placed in the new capitol.

Where children always love to play;
The hill is straight, and smooth, and low
For little folks It's better SO.
The coasting there is very nice
\ Without the cold of snow and ice;
You slide in summer fall spring,
But need not bother sleds TO bring.
1t is the safest hill I've found;
Sometimes you tumble TO the ground,
But It's not far you have to fall,
And would not hurt child at all.
It's very near home and so
Your mother always lets you go,
For then she knows you're right near by
And she can hear you if you cry.
So up You scramble, down you slide,
And, oh, you have jolly ride;
You always want TO play some more
