Church Last Saturday.

Church Last Saturday.
Any one Who has ever attended a
picnic at Quaker baptist church
knows full well the unhounded hospi-
taliiy of the people in that section OF
the county and the great pride they
take in making their festive occa-
sions successful. Old Quaker church
has been the scene of many pleasant
days, and the reunion last Saturday
was by no means an exception.
According to the custom Of several
years past, the survivors OF Company
c, 14th S. c. regiment, ana Company
G, 3rd S. c. battalion, held their an
nual reunion at this old church, be-
ing the guests OF the Quaker Sunday
school. Both these companies were
formed of men from that part Of
Laurens county, many of them being
mere boys. Their record in the war
was fine one, as some one remarked.

the armies OF the Confederacy than
these boys from out here" About

rear. They marched to the speak
ers stand, where the meeting was
called TO order, a passage OF scrip
ture read and prayer offered by Mr
Jas. Fits. After the roll call OF
veterans, the marching line was again
formed and the crowd proceeded to
the cemetery; here, the little chill
dren marched around the grave Of
every soldier, placing thereon a
wreath of flowers and a Confederate
flag This was the most inspiring
scene OF the days exercises; the little
children, clad in pure white, with
wreaths and flowers, doing homage to
the brave old soldiers, while the sur
vivors with uncovered heads stood al

Burlington Tired.

Kansas City, April 16. The Bur-
lington railroad has made move
that may end the controversy be-
tween the state of Missouri and the
railroads. 1t has announced that
it will put into effect May /, a max
imum rate of two and one half
cents a mile. This is a compromise
between the two-cent rate declared
illegal by Judge Smith Mcpherson
in the federal court and the three
cent rate in effect before the pas
sage of the twO-cent law.
The Burlineton's action came as
surprise. 1t was believed the
railroads were solidly arrayed
against any further compromise
with the state administration.

Eyes Open.

j. B. (Buck) Brown the oldest
druggist Of Hannibal and several
times its mayor has brought suit
against the City of Hannibal, that
will be noticed with peculiar inter-
est by people owning city property
and shade trees and by all Electric
light and telephone companies.
Before his lovely home and at
the curb was several beautiful elm
trees that he has watched grow for
halt a life time. The electric light
people run their wires or cables
through the tops of those trees and
the electricity has kille d the trees.
Mayor Brown does not need mon
ey, so that is not what he is after.
But there is a principle involved
and ne will get a legal decision as
to to whether or not a corporation
or city can kill a mans trees or in
jure property ct its own sweet
will.
AS matter Of fact all electric
and telephone wires should either
be under the ground or strung in
alley ways.

Last of the White Herons.

High above the marshy wastes
which border the klamath Lakes
n Southern Oregon, a lone white
heron winged its desolate flight a
month ago, the sole survivor of a
once numerous family.
On broad pinions the snowy sur
vivor of former legion floats to
the east and then to the west, the
far-seeing eyes searching vainly
each stretch of lake, land or sedgy
waste for a familiar patch of white
which would betoken the presence
of father, mother. mate, chick or
friend, but he saw none, for Presi-
dent Roosevelt had been too late in
setting aside the Klamath district
as a natural bird reserve, and the
delay had sealed the fate of the
white heron family.
But one is left, according to the
officials of the United States Land
Office and of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon Societies just one
white sample remaining of myriad
thousands of one of the most beau
tiful of all native birds-the de-
cree of fashion having brought
about such a butchery that biolog-
ical historians will in future works
record the fact that in A. D. 1908
the white heron followed the great
aux over the dismal trail that
stretches backward to the ages that
are gone. - Technical World.

STOMACH AGONY
Abolish the Cause, and Misery and
Distress Of Indigestion Will
Vanish,

Can indigestion be cured? Hun
dreds of thousands of people who
suffer from belching of gas; bilious
ness, sour stomach, fullness, nausea,
shortness of breath, bad taste in
mouth, foul breath, nervousness
and other distressing symptoms, are
asking themselves that question
daily.
And if these same doubling dys-
peptics could only read the thous-
ands of sincere letters from people
who once suffered as badly as they
do now, but who have been quick
ly and permanently cured by the
use of Mona, the mighty dyspep-
STA remedy that cures by removing
the cause, they would 90 to L. M.
Wood this very day and get a large
box of Mona tablets.
The price of Mona tablets is
only SO cents, and L. M. Wood guar
antees them to cure indigestion, or
money back.
Thin or lean or scrawney people
will find in Mi-o-na a maker of

Old Mexico.

A gentleman from old Mexico
with lands for sale, gave a land
sale boom at the opera house Sat-
urday night. He criticised Mexi-
co notice in one of the home pa
pers, we did not learn which one,
and said statements were not cor
rect.
Well, not having been there we
don't know, but Frank Lee has tried
to live down there twice and gave
it up and he says, according to the
man he works for, only about one
fourth of the lecturers tales were
true. So there you are. A strang-

Goinf Too Far.

A section of the Alabama state
prohibition law, which forbade the
storage or holding in possession of
liquor in any building orsapartment
that was inhabited. has just been
declared unconstitutional. Thepro-
vision is clearly in conflict with the
maxim that every mans home is
his castle. In addition the law au-
thorized the issue of warrants to
enter inhabited dwellings for the
purpose of securing evidence of its
violation and this palpably con-
trary to the bill of rights, guaran-
teeing citizens against domciliary
visits. Incorporate reformers may
assert that the denial of a mans
freedom to booze" in his own
home is justified as a means to a
good end. The denial of this free
dom, however, would involve the
denial of other personal liberties
which even extreme prOhibitionists
hold sacred. Sumptuary laws can
not be made to harmonic with the
fundamental principles of demoCra-

Fitch. Steal.

We know what plagiarism is, but
are never guilty. The DEMOCRAT
also knows what filching is and
what newspaper men call stealing.
Whenever the DEMOCRAT wants
to use anything it may find in a
daily, it does so and uses the paper
date line or gives full credit for it.
1t never uses local stuff from a
daily and attempts to palm it off
for its very own
Why? Because we want the sub
scribers to know that we are at
WORK for them and what we give
them is gotten up and out by the
DEMOCRAT especially for them.
1t is for them, it is theirs and all
personal and local matter in the
DEMOCRAT is original, neither Dor
rowed nor stolen, nor ten days old.
