 T left Baltimore one evening and reached Richmond the next day having been arrested near Fortress Monroe, but as they could find nothing against me I was released. I had made q small pin cushion and put the dispatch inside with the cotton and although l was searched, 1t was not discovered. q still have the pin -cushion) On my arrival in Richmond I went immediately to the War Depart ment. saw MT. Benjamin. Secretary of War and delivered 1t to him. He seemed much surprised but extremely thankful, as our troops were gathering at other points. Preparations for removal were at once made but wooden guns stacked in place of real ones, leading the enemy to believe they were still there. In two days the battle was fought and we were victo- rious It was considered one of the blood lest of the war Col. Baker and his men
 were driven into the river which flowed
 with the blood of the Federals Presi- dent Davis sent for me next day and told
 me 1 had won a battle and offered to do
 anything for me. He advised me not 10 go
 back to Baltimore. for if discovered had
 carried the dispatch it would be a serious
 matter. But I became homesick and re-
 turned to Maryland. my Maryland. On my arrival in Baltimore l was inspected and arrested, but nothing really proven on me I was paroed and for four years was not allowed to leave the city. For six weeks had to report each morning at the provost marshals office
 Copy of dispatch carried in pin-cushion: within ten days from last Thursday

would as soon think of starting out with out my mileage books and grip as to start out on a trip without box Of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets in my Valise, said ia trayelinE man who represents St. Louis hardware house. Why? Because l have to put up at all kinds of hotels and boarding houses. l have to eat good, bad and indifferent food at all hours Of the day and night and I don't believe any uan's stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest, anyway l know mine won't. It has to have something to break the fall and stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the crutch 1 fall back on.
 My friends often josh" me about it, tell me I'm an easy mark for patent medi- cine fakers that advertised medicines are humbugs. etc, but l notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor digestion, while I can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for my work when fl needs me- and believe owe my good digestion and sound health to the daily, regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, year in and year out and all the "iosh- ing" sn the world will never convince me to the contrary.
 I used to have heartburn about three times a day and a headache about three or four times week and after standing for this for four or five years began to look around for a crutch and found it when my doctor told me the best invest ment l could make would be a fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and l have invested about fifty cents a month for them ever since and when I stop to think that that is what spend every day for cigars, I feel like shaking, hands with myself for I can keep my stomach and digestion in first class order for fifty cents Ia month. l don't care for any better life Assurance.
 My druggist tells me they are the most lpopu1AR of an stomach medicines and that bahey have maintained their popularity and success because they do as advertised. IThcy bring results. and results are what kcount in a patent medicine as much as in bDalling barbw1re, eu-wed~fri.

We have received several letters in huiring about the observance of Memo rial Day, as the date, April 26th falls on Sabbath. Rule No in the regulations for the presentation of the Crosses or Honor appoints Memorial Day as an oc- casion, but places it at no special qate, hence it is left for the convenience OF the locality to decide which day, saturdav or Monday, shall be observed. The Crosses of Honor must be ordered from the custodian, Mrs. s. E. Gabbett, Z9 Hurt Street. Atlanta, Ga. She particu- larly requests that all orders must be sent in so as to reach her not later than ten days previous to Memorial Day or the probability is the rush of business will prevent the order from being hlled.
 The numerous friends of Miss Toccoa Cozart in Alabama will enjoy the toi- lowing interesting letter, and rejoice to know that though duty carries her into a neighboring State. she is true to her friends and faithful to the beloved work of the Daughters of the Confeder- acv in Alabama. Let us act upon her wise suggestions and gather together the old camp re songs for the State De- nartment of Archives before 1t Is too late AS she suggests. no safer deposit could be found for your precious relics than to be in the custody of Hon. mos M. Owen. the Director of this depart ment. ,ooo
