New Means Of Defense.

Quick rail communication south and
southeast made 1t possible to call to
Richmond several small brigades on
short notice. The ranks of the local
home guard were recruited, batteries
were erected on the lower James riv-
er and several new ironclad ships were
built to keep the Federal navy at a
distance. Owing to the tortuous course
of the James. the Confederates were
able to sweep the channel for a long
distance with heavy guns concealed
by bushes along shore. afYs
The Federals had but one ironclad
on the james when II was decided
early in August to r~econnoiter the riv-
er as far toward Richmond as possible

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet. babies and children will be-
come constipated, and 1t Is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them. or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use OF a laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by great
many mothers. The remedy Is called
DR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
lions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar bottle, and those who are
already convinced OF It's merits buy
the dollar size.
It's mildness makes 1t the ideal medi-
iclne for children, and 1t Is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure In

Very little OF 1t Is required and its
frequent use does not cause 1t to lose
its effect, as is the case with SO many
other remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits

My grandfather said he never
knowed a man with the same aver
sion agin labor as his father had.
Folks put It down to laziness. but they
misjudged him, as come out later. yet
he never let on.
Then one day he got his hands on
a paper that had come acrost in
ship from England. All at once, he
lit on something in the paper. and he
started up and let out yell like he'd
been shot BY gum, I'm the Earl or

the nearest tavern and got bilin' full.
Afterward he showed 'em the paper
and they seen with their own eyes
where Richard Keppel Cavendish.

was his uncle; that when he left
home there was several cousins-but

to him. He never done lick Of work

I'm an orphan man Of title now
and it's been my dream to take Polly

Mr.. Yancy considered this likely.
