Take Off the Fat
 Where Ii Shows

Most women suffer much humiliation
 and inconvenience, especially during
 the hot summer months, because of
 great quantities of fat, so located that,
 no matter how they dress, everybody
 sees that they are abnormal. This is
 the season and the day of the slender
 figure, and fat women are simply not
 tolerated, either in business or social
 affairs. Women may not know it, but
 men when they see fat woman pass
 them on the street make all manner
 of sympathetic remarks about her.
 They do not mean tor be unkind or to
 seem unmanly, but 1t is natural for a
 fat shows the most there is where it
 must be removed, and as quickly as
 possible Hot weather dresses seem to be made for the fat woman's misery and the slender woman's delight. They expose all the charms of woman and her ugliness as well. Exercise and diet will not remove fat. This has been
 proved. The, famous Marmola prescrip- tion which has met with such ,phe-
 nomenal success and has so many of our society women as its sponsors, is now being sold in tablet form to meet | the demand of the public for this style l of treatment. These little tablets 20 into your system just like food.

Blessed Are the Merciful"

From the Troy Kan, Chief.
 Last week a man and woman were convicted in the justice court of Troy of stealing a hen and five little chick ems and sent to the county jail in de- fault of the fine, which they were un- able to pay. They were movers" driv- ing a team of horses hitched to a GOV cred wagon in which were piled all of their worldly possessions. The man looked as though the world had dealt harshly with him. He was looking for work. He had been to number of places and had not been very success full in his search. The woman was a grandmother and her poor old face showed the traces of trouble, the one thing she had always had plenty of Careworn and trembling they sat in the court room under the watchful eye of the sheriff while the county attorney carefully looked up points of law which would make their escape from jail inn possible. One by one the witnesses told each little scrap of evidence which would tend to prove that those two peo- pie had committed the grave crime of taking an old hen and five little chick : ems which had wandered into their camp.
 There were sympathetic people in that court room who felt sorry for the uD1OrtundEe woman WHO IOndIeO her little 3-year-old granddaughter as 1t prattled innocently in her arms unable to understand the strange scene, but the stern majesty of the law must be upheld. crime must be punished no mat ter if the offense was a trivial one and sympathy must be suppressed when the law is al stake. The future of the in nocent was nothing compared to the theft of the hen and chickens, the law must be vindicated. Shylock must have his pound of flesh. The Iury were sworn to return their verdict in ac- cordance with the evidence and 1t was against the prisoners. They had prob ably taken the chickens and they must suffer the consequences for violating the law, for does not the law say Thou shalt not steal?" But somewhere in the Good Book which contains all the higher law is a passage which says Blessed are the merciful," and would it not have been better for the stern guardians of the law to have thought of that passage and In the words of the Blessed Jesus have told those un- fortunate people to "Go and sin no more?"

 Far away In Chattanooga General Rose crans heard the explosion of this train or ammunition wagons.

 Besides the government wagons, many settlers wagons were in the train. A private of the Fifty-irst Alabama labored
 in vain to open a great leather trunk. The sharp order, Fall in!' interrupted him. comrade, less disciplined, broke the lock and from the contents took some new suits of mems silk underwear, very useful and rare, a handsome gold watch and chain and brace of ivory-handled revolvers, with various other things. The wagons, except the few, Wheeler felt able to carry off, were burned, the mules, to some 4OOO, were drawn up in line and shot or sabred.
 A day of unparalleled raidlng was now near the close Wheeler called his men together and set out to rejoin Wharton, some 40 miles distant. By 10 o'clock the day following he was drawn up in front of McMinnville. Military Governor An drew Johnson's son-in-law, Patterson, was the commander of the post Patterson says his scouts deceived him; reputable citizens of union sympathies, mislead him. The immediate command of the post was in moment transformed in some mys- terious manner to Colonel Thompson and Patterson left. Wheeler sent forward a flag, with a demand for unconditional surrender Five hundred and eighty seven soldiers, several hundred horses, were captured and millions of dollars of army supplies were destroyed there. While this work was in progress, train of cars loaded was detected in preparation to make a nasty departure.

 scribe to his government at Washington the situation of his new command at Chattanooga as he found it October 2l. 'The artillery horses and mules," he
