BATTLE FLAG OF
MERGERS BRIGADE.
Relic of the Confederate War Held
by Capt. John 1. Stoddard.

Relic of the Confederate War Held
by Capt. John 1. StOddard.
The Brigade Headquarters flag of
MERGERS Brigade, Walkers Division,
Hardee's Corps, Army of Tennessee. C.
S. A, is on exhibition at Theus' lew
elry store. This brigade was com
manded by Brig. Gen. Hugh w. Mer-
Ger of Savannah and was composed of
the First VOLUNTEER Regiment of Geor-
gia, Col. G. H. Olmstead; the Sixty
third Regiment, Georgia Volunteers.
Col. George A. Gordon; Fifty-seventh
Regiment, Georgia Volunteers, Col.
William Barkaloo; Fifty-fourth Regi-
ment, Georgia Volunteers, Col Charl-
ton H. Way. All of the regiments ex-
cept the Fifty-seventh We're command
ed by Savannah men. They were or
ganiZed in Savannah and served at
Fort Pulaski, Tybee, and along the
coast of Georgia and South Carolina,
before joining the Army of Tennessee.
The flag is a Confederate battle flag,
and has been in the possession of Capt.
John 1. Stoddard of Gen. MERGERS
staff, who brought it with him from
Washington, D. c., where he now re-
sides, when he came to Savannah a few
days ago. 1t is a square flag with
white. stars all of the same size. 1t
has a half dozen or more bullet holes
in it, and what is supposed to be a
blood stain is on one of the stars. The
flag was in all the battles of North
Georgia when Gen. Johnston was re-
sisting the advance of Sherman's army,
and was also in use on the defenses in
front of Savannah, MERGERS Brigade
holding the Confederate lines just west
of the Ogeechee road, the left of the
line of defense. Col. Ohen captain)
George A. Mercer of this city was ad-
jutant general, and Gen. (then cap
tain) W. W. Gordon was assistant adj
jutant general of the brigade.
Hon. R. z. Lester, congressman, was
adjutant of the Twenty-fifth Georgia
Regiment. Col w. J. Winn, now the
city engineer, became colonel of the
Twenty-fifth on the death of Col. c.
C. Wilson. That regiment was also
in Walkers Division, but in a brigade
commanded by Col. Wilson.
The flag is precious relic of Savan-
nah's Confederate soldiery, and an eff
fort will probably be made to have it
placed among the archives of the Geor-
gia Historical Society. So far as is
known there is no other Confederate
flag in existence that f1oated on the
defenses when the city was besieged
by the Union Army. During Wilson's
raid upon Macon, after Lees and
Johnston's army had surrendered, the
flag was in that city and was ripped
apart by a lady and put away so as
to save it from capture by the enemy

favorable to Sandy is that athletic
boys exhibit a tendency to be healthy,
intelligent, and quick in the temper,
not sullen and self-conscious.
On the one part, then, we have a
popular prejudice against red hair, and
on the other preference for tin
works of art and the results of science.
How are we to explain this glaring
contradiction? Probably by the simple
fact that there is red hair and red
hair. The eye of science can distin-
guish what blind prejudice confounds.
Anthropology shows that as there are
various types of blonde, or laxen,
brown, and black haired, so there are
distinct types of red-haired persons and
races. Some of these types are con-
sidered higher and others lower in the
anthropological scale. In the British
Isles, for example. notably in Wales,
there is a rufous type with negrillo
features, and another, especially in Ire
land, with coarse red hair and a cock
nose" which might cause, or, at any
rate, sustain our prejudice against red
hair. Along the northeast of England
and southeast of Scotland, again there
is ruddy type, presumably Danish,
bold, energetic, and capable, particu-
larly in practical science, generous and
hospitable to excess, but of rather
coarse features and fiery temper, which,
by cultivation, stands high. All over
the country, especially on the west
coast, for example. Wales, and among
old families we find here and there
what is perhaps our handsomest red
haired, if not our handsomest type. In
it the hair is dark red, the eyes of the
same color, but the eyelashes and eye
brows are sometimes darker. Now and
again the eyes are bright blue. The
contour of the face is egg shaped, wild
est at the brow, and the features are of
the Grecian or classical mold. This
type is not merely beautiful, but highly
intelligent, a natural aristocrat in any
circumstances, with delicate senti-
ments, poetical and artistic tastes
When the eyes are blue the disposition
may be angelic, and when brown, SEN
suous. There is often a man of the
type in a first-class athletic team,
probably for his dash. The women
have supplied a number of our greatest
beauties and sirens, for instance Lady
Hamilton, perhaps the loveliest woman
since Helen of Troy. Queen Elizabeth
was harder variety of it, and Mary
Queen of Scots probably inherited the
strain from her grandmother a fine
specimen painted by Paul Veronese in
his Marriage at Cana now in the
Louvre.

tanned all kinds Of losses and response
bilities during war times, yet they were
reared in luxury and without that care
for physical culture, health and strength,
that is given to the modern thought
to-day by Southern women. They recog-
nize too that to be beautiful, one must
have health, Womsns health depends
essentially upon the organs strictly
feminine.
DIR. R. v. Pierce, the great specialist
In women's diseases at Buffalo, N. Y,
says that a woman must be we'll balanced
In health to be beautiful. BY this he
means that all parts of the body must be
healthy, that the blood flows evenly and
at the same speed to each part of the
body. If there is inflammation, ulcera-
ton, or catarrhal condition in any part
of the body, this takes away from the
proper amount of blood in other parts.
The surroundings of the woman play an
important part in her development, so
that when she is badly nourished, ex-
posed to bad air in ball rooms, factories
or Office, when she is over-worked and
subjected to great mental strain and
shock, she is pretty sure to get pale and
to have great loss of blood, or it may be
that certain functions which should be
regular stop altogether. AS result of
this also the young girl becomes very
nervous, and all kinds of results follow.
To regulate the functions and put the
parts, especially feminine, into the best
possible condition, the young women or
a woman passed the girlhood days
should take a tonic made entirely from
roots, herbs and barks, without par
ticle of alcohol or narcotic remedy
which is designed for one purpose only,
namely, to cure women of those peculiar
ailments which drag her down and cause
those nervous troubles which make so
many women miserable. DIR. r. v.
Pierce in extensive practice discovered
medicine which was most efficient in
such cases. When the equilibrium is de-
stroyed people suffer from brain flag, or

DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will
positively cure every form of womanly
disease which is durable by medicine. 1t
has often cured forms of disease which
local physicians had pronounced incur
able by medicine, insisting on an opera
ton as the only way of relief. vFavorite
Prescription is a reliable regulator; it
dries the drains which weaken women,
heals Inflammation and liberation and
cures female weakness. Taken as a
preparative for maternity il gives the
mother abundant vigor and vitality and
makes the baby's advent practically
painless. As tonic for weak, nervous
women or nursing mothers, it excels all
the so called tonics, which are only
stimulants in disguise. rFavorite Pre-
scription" is a strengthening and not
stimulating medicine. 1t contains no
alcohol, neither opium, cocaine nor any
other narcotic. It is purely a vegetable
preparation and cannot disagree with
the weakest condition. If you are led
to the purchase of rFavorite Prescrip-
ton" because of its remarkable cures,
do not accept a substitute which has
none of these cures to its credit.
