 A $500 REWARD
 For women who cannot be cured of leu corrhea, female weakness, prolapsus or falling of womb. All they ask is fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
 Their financial responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the United States, with most of wI:om they have done business for over a third of a century. From this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the above unprecedented and remarkable offer if they were not basing their offer on curative means having an unparal- leled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription could possibly twin outn as the saying goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed

 Sims vs. The State-Indictmen for Sell
 ing Spirituous Liquors Contrary to
 Law-Appeal from the Circuit Court of
 Clarke.
 1. Selling spirituous liquors contrary to law; sufficiency of indictment Under the statute making it unlawful to "sell. give away or otherwise dispose of any vinous, sprituous. malt or other intoxicating liquors, etc." In a certain county an in- dictment which charges that the defend- ant "did unlawfuly sell. give away, or otherwise dispose of sprituous, vinous, malt or other intoxicating liquors within the limits" of said county, Is sufficient, and is not subject to demurrer upon tho ground that 1t Is not averred that each of the acts charged was unlawfully done and that the indictment charges the com mission of the offense in the alternative.
 2. Indictment; exceptions cItated by proviso to an act need not be negatived- Where a proviso or exception is embodied in a separate clause of the penal statute and is not in the clause creating the of- fense, 1t is not necessary that the in- dictment founded on said statute should negative the proviso or exception.

 l. Equity pleading; suffciency of plea by wife setting up undue influence of husband-Where a bill Is filed for the foreclosure of mortgage. alleged to have a plea of the wife which ayers that at the date of the execution of the note and mortgage involved in the suit she was the wife of the said mortgagor. who,' by virtue of said relation was in a posi- tion of trust and confidence to her and to her estate. that the debt to complain ant which the mortgage was given to secure was the individual debt of her husband that the complainant though knowing the position of confidence oc- cupied by the husband to the wife, &C., cepted the wife as joint maker of said note and mortgage and as surety for her said husband, without the wife hav- ing any competent and independent ad- vice respecting said transaction, and that the wife's signature to said note and mortgage was obtained by the undue in- fiuence of her husband, Is insufficient to prevent the foreclosure of said mortgage, because 1t does not allege that the com plainant ever participated in, induced or was privy to or had any notice of the alleged undue influence exercised by the husband upon his wife, in respect of the execution of said mortgage.

 l. Husband and wife; when husband holds property formerly belonging to wife free from trust.-Where a husband in the foreclosure of a mortgage on land given to his wife, and while acting as her representative purchases said lands for the wife and takes a deed thereto In his own name with her knowledge, there is a breach by the husband and repudiation by him and his wife of the statutory trusteeship existing be- tween them, and if the husband con- tinues to hold possession of the lands so purchased under claim or right, title and ownership for ten years, he acquires a perfect title In law and equity free from any trust whatever.
 ?. Same; same, when right of wife and those claiming under her accrues-Where a husband. when acting in behalf of his wife in the foreclosure of a mortgage given to her, commits a breach of trust by taking the title to the lands pur- chased at such sale for his wife in his own name. the rights of the wife and those claiming under her to enforce the constructive trust in favor of the defend ant thereby created, immediately ac- crues; and if the wife. or those claim ing under her waits nearly twenty years before seeking to enforce such trust, their rights are barred by the lapse of time.

SOME RECOLLECTIONS OF
 CONFEDERATE CAMP LIFE

strlctest orders against any trespassing on private property. One man had locked his pump handle, but the butt of a musket smashed the lock and we got water. The women lined the main street of Greencastle as we marched through, and waived their union flags and said good many things, but the boys chaffed at them and had them all laughing One buxom miss had a flag pinned on her bosom, and a grizzled Texan called out to her to take 1t off, For" said he i've always take breast works with the flag on them" The roar of laughter and shouts ran far down the line. and when we of the next brigade passed the girl was still laughing, pretty and defiant.
 I climbed great cherry laden tree and was helping myself, when two women came out and talked and gesticulated vi- olently, but as they spoke in Dutch, I knew not If was getting curses or bless ings, but the probabilities were strong ly against the latter.
 One veteran tells me that whilst in a cherry tree woman came out and pelted him with rocks until he fled for safety. Those cherries were tempting.
 One day whilst camped near Chambers burg, a very dirty looking boy soldier came along with skeleton hoop skirt on. Not many of this generation ever saw one, but your grandmother will de- scribe 1t. Some soldier gave me a white straw hat. but as we charged through the wheat field against Little Round Top, 1t was too conspicuous, and sailed it far up in the air.
 Our mess came out of the enemy's country with porcelain lined preserving kettle, which boiled our beef through Virginia, Chickamauga, East Tennessee and Virginia again until the surrender. Doubtless General Lees order was dis obeyed, but this is all the sacking or rob bery I saw done and such a thing as maltreating a citizen or insulting a wo- man would have been resented in no mild way by our own men. It was not even thought of. Bad men we had, but such a thing as systematic robbery of jewelry could not have been done, any more than the old veterans would now engage in it.
 Accepted the Results.
 Our people accepted the results of the war, the freedom of the negro, he could not help, and they had no animosity to- wards him. On the contrary there was the best of feeling for the industrious blacks. But soon for vile purposes, vile men instilled into the gullibie creature that he must have forty acres and a mule" and soon planters in the black belt woke up to find their farms staked off

Easter really marks the beginnin z of the spring season. Winter hats must retire in favor of the new head wear of spring; never were the hats so beautiful, so suggestive of the time of year as now. Flowers and bright coiors, red slightly in favor, are great ly in evidence-not hats overtrimmed, but both rich and simple effective and becoming. Many of our hats are exact copies of Parisian creations, repro duced by expert milliners, and marked at one-half or less than the originals.
 The most beautiful styles and the most varied assortment in stylish spring hats will be found in the great number of trimmed hats we place on sale to morrow.

on business visit, when there came a
tap at my room door, about 10 O'Clock at

THE GOLDEN GATE

Before the overland railroad was be-
gun, before Sumter was fired upon,
before the Comstock mines were dis
covered, San Francisco was an isola-
ted, active, cosmopolitan gathering of
sixty thousand people. The adventur-
Gus waits of all chimes, colors, classes
and conditions were drawn by a golden
magnet to the shores of the far Pa
cific. The social and business life of
the busy little city was alert. feverish,
any telegraphic communication, or of
other than a. tri-monthly mail, three
weeks old, local happenings were ex-
aggerated by an enterprising press, and
the acerbities of personal Journalism
were restrained only by a wholesome
dread of the operations of the Code
duello The California millionaire had
not then been evolved, for the posses
sion of one-tenth of that sum was the
signal for it's owner to purchase a
steamer ticket for home and ex-
treme poverty entailed no physical suf-
fering in a land where the thermometer
never fell to the freezing point, and
where the overflow of the market stalls
rolled into the streets.
