 My brothers wrote us after the Shiloh battle. before they were taken sick, that their regiment. during the two or three days fight. was stationed In a very low portion of the battle ground and as 1t had been raining for several days. they were constantly in mud and water, and when they got permission to rest, or sleep for little while, they had to spread their blankets on pile of brushwood, to hold them up out of the water. Oh! the cruelties of war.
 After brother Johns election to the Legislature he had been given leave of absence from the Virginia army, in order to attend the session. which was soon to convene in Montgomery, and he had ar rived at home just a few days before Sherman came to Gaylesvilie. When we heard that the Federal army was headed for our portion of country. brother John said 1t would not be safe for him to re- main there, for tho Federals made prisoners of every Confederate soldier and every Confederate officer that they could find. So father suggested that he take negro boy. and refugee with the mules and horses. So he did, and saved them all, except one pretty little horse that had been left at home on account of It's having a sore back. and father did not think the Yankees you'd take him even if they came. as they could not ride him in the condition that he was in. He was very gentle and great favorite with my Title boys, and they had turned him

Aunt Graca had no care of the child whatever, and scarcely ever took her at all. for Car rie had nurse of her own, one that was very much devoted to her, and she was struggling to get away from aunt Grace that she might go back to Lau-. ra. suppose the dear little one must have thought 1t very strange that aunt Grace should hold on to her so persist ently, when she had so seldom taken her in her arms previous to that. She seemed to love the child. but it was out of her line of business to take much notice of them.
 She had taken the child. that she might have an. excuse to sit still on that carpet to save the pork. and she was successful in doing that.
 I'never saw people work so fast in my life. They came in great haste. and then they went running from place to place. gathering up whatever they could see that they wanted. They worked like beavers. if that means per- sistently and in unusual haste.
 We were afterward told that these raiders very much feared an attack from the Confederate scouts who were patrolling this part of the country. try ing to protect the people and their property from depreciation by the to- ries and Federal raids. Those tories. enemies of the Southern cause. who lived among us. did much harm by di- rect.ng. or guiding the Federal raid- CTS to certain rich portions of the country or to certain farms, where they knew 1t would pay them well to visit.
 E Straits Raid was captured by General Forrest within two miles of Gayles- ville. We heard the guns distinctly where we lived.

 The Dixie Chapter. Montgomery.
 On May the 4th, the Dixie Chapter held the regular monthly meeting at the home of the President. Mrs. J. Lewis Cobbs.
 Several amendments to the constitu- ton of the State Division, proposed by other chapters. were read by the Sec retary and discussed by the Chapter Article No. of the bylaws caused an animated talk on the question. Shall the State Division of the United Daugh- ters continue to pay the fifteen cents per capita tax. now devoted to the maintenance of the old soldiers. since the home at Mountain Creek had pas sed into the possession of the State? The chapter is always ready to aid any Confederate veteran who needs as- sistance, the doubt which arises, per tains to the further need of help from the Daughters by the veterans, since the Soldiers Home has been placed on the substantial basis of the State Treasury. The Chapter decided to leave all these troublesome questions, which probably will be discussed at the State to the discretion of it's del egates. Mrs. wm. A Gayle, Mrs. J. Lewis Cobbs and Mrs. Thomas M Owen.

THIS OUGAT TO CONVINCE
E. 0. Fowler Will Pay for Hyomei Himself When It Fails to Cure Catarrh.

If only knew 1t to be true. would not hesitate a moment" Thi Is a thought the average person has when reading the claims of some of the medi- cines that are advertised as cures for catarrh.
 The results frosn the use of Hyomei are so remarkable in the cure of catarrh that they seem beyond belief. The fact, though. that E. c. Fowler. one of the best known druggists in thls section, has so much confidence in the power of Hyo- mel to cure catarrh that he sells 1t under his personal guarantee to refund the money if the purchasers can say that 1t did not help them, ought to convince the most skeptical that Hyomei can be relied upon to cure all catarrhal troubles, no matter how serious or deep-seated.
 The complete Hyomei outfit, consisting of a neat inhaler that can he carried in the purse or pocket, medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. costs only one dollar. Additional bottles of Eyomei can be procured for fifty cents. making 1t the most economical of treatments
 Catarrhal colds. which are so common at this season of the year. have been cured in a day. Mild cases of catarrh that have become chronic, are freauentlv cured In a week or ten days Now is the time to begin the use of HyonieI. re- membering that MT. Fowler sells every package on positive guarantee to refund the money if it fails to cure.

 Knowing what do I consider that it would be almost criminal to conceal the knowledge 1 have as to the durability of Brights Disease and Diabetes when there are so many homes constantly saddened by the presence of these hitherto fatal diseases.
 had Diabetes myself for many years had exhausted the best of medical talent here without result-it steadily progress ed till heard that there was a cure for 1t in San Francisco. It looked unreason- able, but I sent for it. In few weeks I was on the mend and in six months was in my usual health and strength. I then put an engineer of our road on 1t. He was broken down with Diabetes and was retired. In a few months he was back to his old position on his engine. Later my son, aged thirteen years. was discov- cred by our physicians to be in an ex- treme condition Hs the result of Brights Disease. They felt certain he could not live but short while. I got the treat ment for him and he is now to our de- light, strong and vigorous again and at school and growing wonderfully. Many here are taking the treatment. I have told a great many in person for l know 1t to be an almost certain cure for Brlght's Disease and Diabetes in all stages. Yours faithfully,
