A domains Complexion.

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or gressiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors.pf The only
safe and sure way that aswoman can
improve her complexien is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, parifes the
complexion It also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A singia

known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia

Matters Of Importance Forgotten Be-
cause of Martha GUSTS.

MATTERS OF importance For9otten Dc
cause of Martha Gusts.
In the traditions of any member of
the Washington family the story OF
Martha Curtis is of supreme impor-
tance, writes Cora A. Moore in the
New Broadway Magazine.
1t happened one day that she was
visiting at the plantation of neigh
Dor, Major Chamberlayne, when there
came riding in haste an officer in the
British uniform. The business that he
had with the major he transacted
quickly, declining an invitation to
stay because, as he declared, he was
on his way to the governor at Will
liamsburg on matters of Importance.
But the host repeated the invitation
more urgently, slyly remarking that he
had also beneath his roof the hand
soonest widow in Virginia, young and
charming woman.
All, a lady in the case! That was
different. But the plans of men have
often waited on Cupid. When the Off
Ger bowed low over Rhe hand of the
lady whom he met in the majors draw
ing room he forgot Williamsburg and
the governor, and she, pleased with
the courage of that colonel, George
Washington, of whose military fame
she had heard so much, scintillated
and sparkled with even more than her
usual fascination. That evening, long
after the rest of the household had re-
tired, he and the charming widow sat
by the fireplace in the shadowy draw
ing room quite without chaperon to
regulate the tide of swiftly moving
events.
Soon there was a Respondent we'd
ding at the home of the bride. Direct
~ afterward a coach and six horses,
guided by liveried black positions, con-
veyed the newly married pair to her
town house in Williamsburg. Business
interests for some time demanded the
presence of Colonel Washington at the
capital Later he took his bride and
her two children, Martha Parlxe Gusts
and John Parke GUSTS, to his own es-
tate at Mount Vernon, where they en-
joyed that happy domestic life which
is celebrated in history.

The Word nWidoMW

AS word widow is most inter
esting. Max Mueller traced it back
through thousands Of years with hard
~ any change of form or meaning.
1.-THE word at it's original formation
meant simply woman left without a
man, just as it does today, and it has
remained all these ages materially un-
changed both in sound and meaning
4 thousand years ago the Anglo-Saxons
used the word in England and north
Germany. The Meso-Goths and, earlier
than they, the Latin people knew it
centuries before the Anglo-Saxons, and
the Sanskrit records show that thou
sand years before Latin was written
the same word was spoken on the
slopes Of the Himalayas

MNDREW JACKSON was an ex-
~ ample of the triumph of will
~ power over difficulties. His
- whole life was history of
overcoming obstacles. Many Of these
obstacles. perhaps the most Serious
ones. were in his own nature. One OF
them was hot anger that constantly
reared up enemies in his path. Anoth-
er Was a wild and reckless disposition
in youth. A third was physical disease.
One of his military campaigns was
made at time when he could hardly
sit in the saddle because Of pain. All
the latter part Of his life he suffered
from i'll, health and wounds.
OF the outward obstacles in the way
of this indomitable man, poverty was
perhaps the chief. The loss of both
parents in youth added to this handl-
cap. The second was a rough pioneer
environment where his life was con-
stantly in danger The third was the
neglect and opposition of other people.
At one-tinle during the Creek campaign
he was left almost alone. The term OF
enlistment of his men having expired,
nearly all of them went home. At an
other time the force under his COM
mand was disbanded by the govern
ment. He was always antagonized by
the chief men in congress and by all
the moneyed interests.
Despite these fearful adverse odds
he won. There are few examples of
success in all our history more con-
spicuous He won against his personal
enemies at home. He won in all his
battles He won over congress. He
won against the national bank. He
won in his fight with notification.
His notices are illuminative of the
man. He often said, Nothing is done
till all is done" Another phrase con-
stantly on his lips was, "a clean vic
tory or clean defeat" When others
objected to his plans, he silenced them
by peremptorily exclaiming, II will
take the responsibility" At one time in
youth, when a raft on which he tried
to cross swollen stream was nearly
swept over cataract, after his escape
he said he was trying to show his COM
panions how close he could Craze dam
ger. He said he would get them out
yet, and he did, When the massacre at
Fort Minis occurred, he was in bed
with serious wounds, yet he took the
field Immediately, though he had to be
attended by his physician, who feared
he would die on his way to camp.

Robert E. Lee.
BY j. II. EDGER TON.

~ELDOM, if ever, in the history of
warfare has the leader of aElost
cause received the commenda-
~ ton from his foes that has been
accorded by the north to Robert E.
Lee. Even though the cause itself
failed, this in itself is success. To
meet defeat without bitterness, to re-
main sweet through adversely, is in a
personal sense to triumph.
The crisis in General Lees life came
at the outbreak of the war. He him.

In future the impartial historian may
see in this act sophistry, but he must
acquit Lee of selfish motive. even
though he may detect a flaw in his
reasoning. for it seems indiSputa BILE
that Lee was offered the command of
the Federal forces about Washington.
SO that he had selfish reason for tax

as he was second in his class at West
Point. He was married to a GUSTS,
and in this far was connected with
Washington. In personal appearance
he was handsome and of commanding
appearance. Ills disposition was anna
BILE, his manner polished, his heart
kindly. He gained especial distinction
in the war with Mexico. His domestic
life was spotless.
Lee was especially popular with his
army Few leaders have been morf,
idolized It is related of him that he
often gave a command as though max
ing a suggestion. He took no part in
the acrimonious discussions relating to
the conduct of the war, but assumed
the responsibility for all mistakes, If
there were such. He was great in
defeat and advised the south to accept
the results Of the war without MUIR

Don't Hurry.

Do nothing in a hurry. Nature never
does. more haste, worse speed" says
the old proverb. II you are in doubt,
sleep over it. But, above all, never
quarrel in hurry; think it over well.
Take time. However vexed you may
be overnight, things will often look diff
ferent in the morning. If you have
written a clever and conclusive but
scathing letter, keep it back till the
next day, and it will very often never
go at all-Lord Avebury

BISHOP ROWE
 ARRIVES HERE

Bishop Rowe, of the Episcopalean churchfi reached heer this afternoon from St. Michael on the Gussie Brown, after having made trip through the interior country by way of CatalIa and Fairbanks.
 The bishop states that Fairbanks is very quiet, large number of the best men in that section having left for the Innoko diggings. The miners strike last winter had a depressing effect on the camp and many of the mines were cot opened up this summer on that account. But a few of them were quietly going to woik when the bishop left.
 So far as he could learn coming down the river, no placer gold, beyond that on Gaines creek, had been discovered at the Innoko, and many were leaving the new diggings in state of disap- pointment

came to Shelby County Texas In
1881 from Rankin county. This gives
me an absence Of 26 years from old
Rankin. This seems but short
while, but many changes have taken
place during that time.
During the holidays passed my wife
and I visited the scenes Of my boyhood
days. It was indeed q pleasure to
meet my friends and relatives and
spend several days with them. No
one knows how to appreciate such
visits unless they have had similar
experience. While our trip was in
deed pleasant one In every par
ticnlar, my heart was caused to bleed
as looked at the vacant chairs In the
homes OF friends and relatives, which
had been made vacant by death. Yet
from this comes the glorious thought
that there will be great gathering
by and by.
On looking around while in old
Rankin ! saw faces that once smiled
upon my boyhood days grown wrinkled
with age-faoes that had almost
forgotten, but in listening to them
relate the incidents Of by-gone days,
what flood Of thoughts came to my
mind indeed, in the space Of few
days lived again my youthful days.

large number of relatives and friends
too numerous to mention here.
However, I wish to say, regret fail
ing to meet one Of my ola teachers
Rev. Wayne Sutton, who soldiered
with my father during the civil war.
My father and mother are still
living and are in fine health.
Now, in regard to this country, I
wish to say that this fine agri-
cultural section and nature yields
abundantly to those who stay with
their farms. This is comparatively q
new country and will continue to
grow more inviting to the home
seeker as developments are made along
the various lines. I will write you
again that you may know fFoh1x time
to time what is transpiring in this
part Of the moral vineyard.
