 First in war,
 First in peace.
 First in the hearts of his country
 men.
 George Washington was born Feb. ruary 22, l732, at Bridges Creek. Nir- ginia. He was called the Father of His Country. because he overcame the most difficult obstacle ill throwing of the British yoke, leading his troops with blood-stained feet OCT the frozen clods of Valley Forge, and after rising triumphant over his foes. he was with one voice. chosen president of the United States. His term was from April 30, l7S0 To March 1. 1797 He married Mrs. Martha Curtis, Jan uary r.. i75o, II Williamsburg, Nir. ginia. He died December H. l799. at Mt. Vernon, aged 67 years.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of SO Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It IS Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to Human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and tho strength exhausted Then, too ofteu, the remedies employed bv many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, aid the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The Wisest course is te apply d reliable kidney and liver remedy on the RtSf dbpcaran6c of the symptoms. \ little uncasiness in the small of the back. digestive troubles, bowel irregularitios and disorder Ill thc urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- ton of strong men and women, yet they have a serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help. which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per haps fatal consequences. \ few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of inealeulable value i'll rcstorinV the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar ill bottle Of Priclly Ash Bitters when the disease is vet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars ill doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease he allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prick1y Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally efficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, i'll cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and 1t has shown its superiority over thc many so-called kidney cures, HOW being loudly advertised i'll instances iunu- merablc.

Resorrcefull Man.

The late James E. Martin,
brother of Bradley Martin. was
a man of old-fashioned integrity
and the illegal practices of many
noted fnanciers and corporations
angered and shocked him.
In a discussion of a certain
much-investigated company, Mr..
Martin said one day:
"This concern seems always
to have found it easy to break
the law. It has been as ready
and resourceful as a tenant l
once had.
"My tenant was an enthusiastic
pigeon flyer. One day he took a
pigeon in a bag to the Grant
monument, intending to time it's
fight home. But when he took
the bird out of the bag a police.
man came up and said:
sWhat are you doing here?:"
"Getting ready to fly this
pigeon, said my tenant.
'sYou can't fly pigeon here,
said the policeman.
"Why not?" the tenant asked.
':It's against the law-that's
why not" said the policeman. Ii
you try it I shall be obliged to
lock you up"
"My tenant placed the pigeon
on the ground, stroked it and
said to it gravely: II can't toss
you up here, for it's against the
law, so you must walk home. DO
you hear: You must walk home.

Oppor rtunitY for Military Men.

The following significant state
ments are taken from different
authors bearing on home mission
work.
We can hardly expect a great
blessing upon our representa-
tives who go to the heather if
we despise and neglect the heath
en- come to US. There is no way
to lift up Europe so fast as to
evangelize her sons who come to
US. Sixteen per cent go home
to live and then can never for
get what they saw here. Did we
but teach them right they would
be an army of foreign mission
aries. Fifty thousand strong
preachers Of the gospel to the
people in the tongue in which
they were born, and thus Great
ing a perpetual Pentecost.
God has packed his American
store houses with riches Of
righteousness for every foreign
child of his, but a home mission
ary carries the key.
We have sent missionaries at
great expense to many foreign
lands. Now God is sending rep
resentatives of these lands to our
shores. We must Amerlcanize
them, or they will, to some de.
gree, foreignize US; we must
Christianize them-those from
heather lands will, to some de-
gree heathenize US.
The future Of the world is piv-
oted on the question whether the
Protestant churches in America
can hold, enlighten and purify
the people born or gathered into
it's great campass.
The Woman's ForeignMission-
ary Society sends women to
heather and papal lands to edu-
cate, instruct and Christianize
women and children, that they
may be able to carry on home
mission war in their own native
churches, among their own peo-
pie, neighbors, and friends.
TheWoman's Home Missionary
Society educates instructs and
Christianizes women and chill
dren inChristian lands who have
few privileges and few oppor,
tunities for self culture, that they
may be prepared to engage in
mission work at home or abroad,

now UNDER THE SEA.
Many Weird and Historic Beatrres Near the
Jamestown Exposition Site

Norfolk: Va.-Intending the
shore of the Chesapeake, be-
tween Cape Henry and the spot
where the Jamestown Ter-Cen-
tennial Exposition is to be held
by Hampton Roads, next year,
is Lynnhaven Bay, famous not
only for it's fine oysters: but also
for the ghostly tales that are told
Of it by the score. Chief among
these are the stories of the
sunken graveyard, of Grace
Sherwood. Witch, and of the Pi-
rate Blackbeard's treasure long
supposed to be buried in the
vicinity.
The sunken graveyard was
originally the property of the Old
Parish Church, which stood on
Church Point. but which has
long since been dismantled and
of which no stick or stone re-
mains. At the time the church
stood there the graveyard was
high and dry above the bay. 1t
was next to the sea, however,
and while no man can say wheth-
er the ground sank, or the sea
rose. it is supposed that the soil,
being soft, gradually sank as the
water worked in underneath.
Until a few years ago tall persons
could wade out to the spot where
the ridges of the graves could be
felt underfootand the tombstones
observed. One investigator of
the sunken graveyard by feeling
a tombstone with his hand found
the name cut on it to be Pallet,
formerly a well known family in
Princess Anne country.
A short distance inland are the
few bricks remaining of what
was once the Old Donation church
so called because of the fact that
a farm in the neighborhood was
donated to the church for the
purpose of educating eight chill
dren.
In the vicinity of the site Of
the Donation church is large
mound, long supposed to have
been thrown up there by the
Indians. Its origin is still in
volved in mystery. but old set
tiers around the vicinity, recall
ing the fact that the adjacent
waters were long the haunt of the
notorious buccaneer, Blackboard,
declare that the mound is the
sole surviving relic of that pirate
chieftain's stronghold. 1t is said
that the blood-thirsty Corsair,
with his gang of sea robbers,
buried treasure there by the
wheel load. and that as
often as they made a good haul,
they would turn to the sandy
shore, just inside Cape Henry,
and bury their plunder.
Curious visitors to this neigh
borhood are often puzzled at the
name Witch's Duck, which dis
tinguishes one Of the small lnlets
of the bay. It was in this inlet
that Grace Sherwood, charged
with being a witch, was ducked
in 17O6 after being tried on the
complaint of Luke Hill and wife:
She was afterwards tried and
confined in jail on the charge of
being a witch.
Lynnhaven bay gets it's name
from a supposed resemblance to
the Ouse near Lynn Regis, or
Kings Lynn, in Norfolk county,
England.
