he left Macon he has resided in st. Lou

has left to his family the heritage of al

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling;
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion i'm
paired, with little Or no appetite, no am
bition for anything and feeling that
the whole body and mind needs touing
up, The trouble is, that during winter
there has been an accumulation of waste
matter in the system, Heroine will re
move it, secure to the secretions a right
exit and by its tonic effect fully restore
the wasted tissues and give strength in

The Confederate Veterans Meeting

I
Ed. BEAcoy;-I attended the meeting
Of the NoEubes Confederate Veterans,
and when the roll was called I was
grieved to find SO many were absent,
and especially so when the names CT
comrades J, w. Deupree and J. B.
Cunningham were called and no res
ponse was made, for we knew they
were away off among strangers in
distant city, both to undergo an opera
ton that might possibly terminate fat
ally, but we hope they will both be re.
lieved Of their trouble and be able to be
with us at our annual reunion on the
first Of July. I wish every old soldier
in the county would lay aside the cares
and business OF life and attend our
meetings and hope all will be with us
at our annual dinner. One by one we
are crossing the river. We have hardly
a meeting but what some old comrade is
reported dead, and we ought to meet as
often as we can,
was surprised to ind that in Noxu-
bee county alone there were nine ne
groes on the Confederate pension roll
Only thirty-two in all and nine of them
negroes, over one fourth Our Camp
took decided action against this, and
passed a resolutinn aslsing our next
representatives to endeavor to have the
pension law amended, so as to apply to
Confederate soldiers. No one has more
regard than I for the old negro who
weRt to the war with us, but they were
individual servants and not servants for
( the company. They never did any SER
vice as soldiers and ought not to share
in the small pittance that our state gives
her wounded and disabled veterans
Our neighbors who went to the wal
with Us had, as a general thing, a fine
time, Besides waiting on their young
masters and mess, they took in washing,
moulded candles and became prosperous
Old Uncle Graves who went out with
Harrison and Nat and Cap Smith made
so much money that way that he be.
came a sort Of banker for the boys and
always had little money to lend, so
let us care for these old negroes and
help them all we can individually, but
let the old soldiers draw the pension.
We meet again on Saturday. 10Th
inst, and | hope we will have a large
attendance, as we want to make ar
engagements for the trip to the reunion,
get badges, &C., so let all be there, if
possible. Yours, &C.,

Mrs. Steel is an uneven writer and has more
than once caused her reader to wonder why
having written "On the Face Of the Waters
she has also written certain other stories But
IL her new book she is again and again as effec-
tive as she proved herself be in her best novel
In the Guardianship OF God" is delightful
collection of sketches most Of them having in
teresttng plots. and all of them giving very fresh
and persuasive pictures of Indian life The first
tale, which gives the book its title. is q really
brilliant little performance Perhaps the climax
is a trife forced Perhaps in life the man who
has wronged his brother would not meet retribu-
tiOn at just the moment and in just the way
considered by Mrs. Steel necessary to the work
ing out of her story. But fiction. Well as
poetry, has it's license. and if the thnS is We'll
done it is churlish to complain. This story of
Mrs. SteeIs is very well done indeed. We
speak as cordially of the greater number of the
tales in this book, skilfuIly put together they
are, and keenly sympathetic and vivid III their
presentation of British and native types IN
India. We only find our patience tried when the
author brings in one of her more or less infau-
tile characters. In some quarters they have
gained great popularity. and doubtless Mrs.
Steel has thereby been encouraged to return To
them. But whenever in a story of hers We come
upon sentence like this-'Td wather fight 'em.
