LYDIA z. PINKRKM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs OF the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia L. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc.
Culiar ills, more potent and etiiCa.
ciOus than any combination Of drugs,
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha MuiT, of 5l5 NC. St.,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration TO health
means 80 much to me that for the sake
OF other suffering woipeu am willing
70 make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer.

BEAUTIFUL HATS
ARE MUCH ADMIRED
HUNDREDS ATTEND MILLINERY
OPENING OF MckENNoN, AN
DERSoN & FOSTER.

One of the most attractive millinery
displays ever shown in this city was
admired Thursday by hundreds OF
ladies at the millinery department OF
McKennon, Anderson & Foster. From
early morning there was a
constant stream of women entering
the stores of this popular firm and
while the opening day is never regard
ed as a success from the standpoint
of sales made, many hats have been
purchased. Under the efficient SUI
pervision of Miss Schriver and Miss
Bowling the ladies' hats and bonnets
had been most attractively arranged
and those who saw them were quite
enthusiastic in comment. Not only
ere the hats exceptionally attractive
but the variety is wide one evidenc-
ing the taste and discriminating judg-
ment Of the purchasers.
Those two Fascinating creations Of
this season, the Merry Widow and
the Waltz Dream" appealed most
forcibly to the tastes of the ladies and
it was difficult to tell which fashion
was the more popular. Both are de-
cidedly novel and alluring creations
of the finest materials, flowers and
trimmings. The large hats are very
popular this season, in fact there are
none of the small, unassuming sailors
so popular once. shown in today's col
lection The large hats are elab-
orately trimmed WITH flowers and fam
cy feathers. Plume 5, which are al
ways elegant and stylish. have APP
parentIy lost none of their popularity
BY the change of seasons, as some of
the handsomest creations are adorned
with the ostrich plumage.
The colors, as is usual in a collec-
ton of wearing apparel of any char
acter for the fair SEX take wide
range. Probably every color and
every tint of the rainbow, and some
that are not in that alluring variety
of colors which leads to the tabled
bag of gold, are represented in to-
days assortment of hats, but the most
popular colors are the Copenhagen
blue, brown and champagne.

STAGE FOR MINES

NEW YORK, March 12.-Nat G.
Goodwin has decided to abandon the
stage for the mines. and within three
weeks the comedian will be ON his way
to Goldfield, New, where he has many
valuable claims.
Goodwin's determination to quit the
stage does not come as a great sur
prise, as it is wel-known fact that
he has given up considerable time to
the West, and has been making a
careful study Of miuing conditions in
Nevada. During his visits out West
Goodwin and a number of Western
capitalists have acquired some rich
claims, and they have turned out so
successful that Goodwin's presence Is
required in Nevada to look after his
personal interests.
Associated with Mr.. Goodwin in his
mining ventures is e. w, King, cap
talist OF Montana, who formerly was
Speaker of the House of Representa-
ives of that state. and who owns sew
sral banks in Bohemian and Helena,
Mont. Mr.. King is president OF the

THE SERVICES OF 500 MEN
FOR INDEFINITE TIME.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 49,
Five hundred men employed in tht
local shops of the Nashville, Chatta
nooga & st. Louis railway were yes
terday laid off for an indefinite period
They had no warning of the actor
taken by the roads officials, and the
announcement that their services
would not be needed for some time tc
come came as complete surprise.
F. H. Scheffer, superintendent Of
machinery Of the Nashville, Chatta
nooga & St. Louis railway, declared
last evening that the present inan'
cial condition Of the country was the
cause Of the lay-off He said the road
lad decided } cut down its expenses;
that it was forced to such action by
: decrease in business due to the re-
cent stringency in money circles
the United States. Mr..
Shelter stated that he did not know
just how long the men thrown out of
work would be in idleness.
THE road has to cut expenses,
said he, "and was forced to lay of FIVE
hundred men working in the locomo-
tive and general repair department of
the shops"
The monthly sum paid the men
thrown out of work averages close
to $4,000 Most of them are expert
anced workmen in their line, and I'm
less other employment is Immediately
offered many Of them will be forced
to m2ke for other cities, where work
they know can be had. The majority
of the men laid off have families.
Although the railroads Of the South
have been crying hard times for more
than year their earnings have been
large. All of them have been able to
make splendid showing.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis railway gives employment to
about 1000 men at its shops on the
Charlotte read, in West Nashville.
Those laid off were employed in the
and general repair depart
ments, while the other so work in the

The roundhouse men will not be af-
focted by the lay-off orders at pres

| but by indirection and influence. The
news comes from Washington that
Mr.. Wilson has determined to start a
crusade in favor of fresh eggs. Some
months ago We called attention to the
fact that the pure food law ought to
be made to operate in the egg mar
ket. Most of us have been buying
eggs throughout the winter that were
plainly unconstitutional. Now a bad
egg is just about as unwholesome as
any fish that flies the upper air. Not
only is it unwholesome, but it Is cal
culated to bring about an estrange-
ment between friends and to cause a
sharp relapse even in the religion of
devout soul. Secretary Wilson, in
spired no doubt by our remarks, has
taken up the matter, and has issued
an edict that the egg must get in
under the pure fod law, or it will
have to go. The last census showed
that in 1900 no less than 15,523949.-
1876 eggs were plucked from the vines
and placed on the market. That
entities every man, woman and child in
the republic to about IT'S eggs each,
or an egg every other day. OF course
there are many millions of people In
this country who do not care for eggs,
but probably majority Of the legal
voters are addicted to the egg habit.
n Mr., Wilson can secure fresh eggs
for the masses then he will make a
friend of every American egg-eater.
Most of us would rather have fresh
eggs than two-cent railroad rate.
Suppose, then, this army OF egg eaters
should rise in its gratitude and insist
On making Mr.. Wilson president. Who

Archives and History, Is found the
ff Ct that Charles Driggers. an inmate
of the Old Soldiers Home at Noun.

the service of the Confederacy in
1862, with the reserve artillery at
Eufaula.
Two counties have reported the
number Of old Confederates who are
yet alive to DR.. owen, the names be-
ing taken by Tax Assessors under
new law. They are Chiffon and
Macon, The first, to which Is added
the inmates Of the Soldiers Home,
has 1879, the other 113. The oldest
one of the Macon list is G. H. Tucker,
who was born Jan. 10, 1919, in Elvert
County, Ca, and entered the war with
Major Reavy's battery.
Though these reports may be made
as late as August DR.. owen Is very
anxious to have them in soon, and is
urging the Assessors to report them
as quickly as possible. After they
are all in he viii sort them by names
and commands and have in them many
/ rich item of history that he had
lot been able heretofore to locate.
