DE LEON'S BOOK
 AND OLD FRIENDS
A Brilliant Federal Veteran Recalls Courtesies in Alabama In he-
 viewing an Alabamlan,s Book.

Brilliant Federal Veteran Recalls
 Courtesies in Alabama i'm Be-
 viewing an Alabamian's Book.
 New England seems to haym adopted Alabama's blind author, since MT. T. c, DeLeon issued his "Belles, Beaux and Brains of the Sixties" Portland, N. H., Springfield, Providence, and especially Boston, have given the book ample and fattering notice. In the chief city of Massachusetts, every pa per of note has spoken strongly Of the temper and truth of the volume; one of the latest and best reviews being that of a distinguished Federal officer, Col. Henry Haynie, well-known as a reviewer of The Boston Times. himself of Virginia and Kentucky ancestry. Colonel Haynie was. we believe, a staff officer under MatoT-General John Car son Smit and won distinction under "Old Pap Thomas at Chickamauga- He tells of having been on duty in Mobile, Montgomery and elsewhere in our State. He was also an unwilling guest for long time at the Libby prison.
 Mir DeLeon's chapter on Montgom- cry awakens his "reminiscences thus:
 "All through its pages the return note is of how the women of the Con- federacy, young and old. gentle and rough, made their sacrifices for the boys in grey; of how their fair fingers fell to scraping lint for the brave to bleed upon. But similar eulogies be- long to our Northern girls and women, my kind master!
 'The readers interest in this attrac- tive work begins with the chapters de- voted to the formation of the Confed- crate States at Montgomery, Ala. to the political, social and selfish dotngs connected with that event. Perhaps the picture is more striking to me per- sonally than 1t will be to most people, for I was sometime stationed in that same city, on the staff of 8 major general, whom our author names in his chapter devoted to salons and where Chicago is referred to. l can still re- call the homes and environment of those thus chronicleG.
 "The mention of the Ida Rice Co., lumbiad' which spoke for one Mont gomery beauty to the ironclads in Charleston Harbor, compels me to wonder if she was related to the Judges Samuel and William Rice, or to the Barclays of Talladega; by all of whom I was treated most courteously, despite my colors, in those days of long ago." "Once more. assuming the per- sonal viewpoint, cannot truthfully say that Richmond was the most hospita- ble city in which ever dwelt. It Is true that that so1ouTn was nut oI my own seeking and while there mine abode bore the 'shingle' of Libby Prison."
 One of the famous beauties and bril- liant women of Montgomery was Miss Ida Rice, daughter of the late Judge Samuel F. Rice. She married pr. Henry Bethea of Marengo County. She died several years ago. survived by her husband and one son, MT. Samuel Rice Bethea, who lives on his Marengo plantation, near Faunsdale.

Editor The Advertiser:
 The people of Prattville were very much surprised to read your corres- pondent's report of the prohibition meeting held here last Friday evening, at which Hon. A. H. Carmichael spoke.
 Believing that The Advertiser desires to be fair and just in its news columns, and report facts we wish to correct the very unjust statement made by your correspondent. The prohibition meet ing made no reference whatever to. Co., mer or his administration. It was a prohibition meeting and for no other
 In reference to the audience being mostly composed of women and chill dren" there were about 150 men pres- ent and both sides of the issue were well represented.
 Your correspondent would have your readers believe that MT. Carmichael charged MT. Leon McCord with being bought In justice to MT. Carmichael we wish to say that he stated only once that rumors had been circulated that he wished the audience to understand that he made no such charge.

 If you suffer from indigestion. belch- ing of gas, lump of lead on stomach, biliousness, dizziness. foul breath. ner- vousness, constipation. or headache, give E. G. Fowler 50 cents today for a box of Mi-o-na, the celebrated stomach prescription, and if it doesn't cure you he will give you your money back. It relieves painful stomach distress in five minutes Read the following:
 T had stomach trouble for years After eating I would be troubled for an hour or so with indigestion. I bought one box of Mi-o-na tablets from Gaff- ney Drug Co.,, which completely cured me. That was 12 months ago and to this day have not been troubled again J. B. Haskey, Gaffney, s. C.. April 20. 1909.
 Mi-o-na is the best prescription for stomach trouble ever written; not only does 1t give quick relief, but it cures permanently because it thoroughly cleanses. renovates, builds up and puts elasticity into the stomach and bowels. Mi-o-na is put up in tablet form and is small and easy to swallow. Sold by leading druggists everywhere and in Montgomery by E. G. Fowler, who rig idly guarantees them. Test sample free.
