That S-what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S hort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in COnneC-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy Of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The a c t i 0 n of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS

 Florence.
 During the winter of 1860. when war between the North and the South. seemed inevitable, a military company was organized in Florence, Ala, to be in readiness, if its services were need ed. This company The Florence Guards" was well drilled and equipped and by the following March was ready for orders. MT Stirling Wood had re- ceived military learning at college. so for that reason he was made captain of the company. MT. Wm. H. Price, first lieutenant: MT. John B. Weakley. second lieutenant; MT. J. Brahan Pax ton, third lieutenant; MT. Louis Me Clung, orderly sergeant.
 The Florence Guards" was com posed of lawyers, physicians. mer- chants, farmers and representatives of our best friends. Almost every house. hold had some loved one enlisted in this company. On Sunday, March 31. there were special services for the soldiers held in the Presbyterian church. The company marched in and occupied the body of the church. Af- ter the opening services, Rev. Dr. Wm H. Westcott addressed the soldiers then as each name was called, went forward and received a Bible. which had been given by the ladies, each Bible with name and verse of scrip ture Every eye was dim with tears and hearts sad at this service. April 1, 1861, was memorable day in the history of Florence when the first company left for the war, The ladies mad purchased for $10O an elegant silk flag which was to be presented with appropriate ceremonies at the Wcs- leyian University (now the Normal Collegel chapel. Long before the hour appointed the buildings and
