Crucifixion in some form. or other

standing over me, while Martha the

Did you catch him?' l asked.
Catch who?" Robert asked, a puz-
zled expression on his face.
The burglar 1 gasped.
There was no burglar. l heard you
screaming as l opened the door, and
when 1 reached YOU you had tainted.

In the war between the states, be-
ginning in 1861 and lasting until Apo
mattox in 1865 land continuation in
privation and poverty for years after
wardsl there was an acid test made of
the southern woman's capacity for en-
durance. We had been accustomed to
many luXuries and profound peace until
ten southern states seeded from the
federal union because of dissatisfaction
on the slavery question. The women Of
the south like the French women in
the F'ranco-German war Of the seven
ties had no voice in deciding the ques-
ton Of war between the states. 1t was
ours to suffer and endure. When Rich
mond became the capital of the Con-
fe6eracy and Virginia the battle-ground
of the northern and southern armies,
the great bulk of southern volunteers
were rushed to Virginia.
The defense of Richmond became the
aim and purpose of the Confederacy,
and so continued to the end.
There were a great many Georgia
volunteers who were sent to the camps
in Virginia The only brother / ever
had was sent there in July, 1851,

age There was a great call for cloth
ing, lint jellies, blankets, socks, under
wear-everything a soldier could use
in camp or fling away in retreat.

I possessed. l cut up my wool dresses

make knitting yarn to knit soldiers

knit all the socks and stockings worn
at home We could buy cotton yarns,
but little that was woven into cloth,
We were Obliged to keep looms and
spinning wheels busy. The soldiers
were largely clothed by the industry
of women at home. We sent boxes fill
ed with things that were sadly needed
at home, but there was no delay when
we recollected that the next paper
might tell us they were badly wounded

christianity which they had embraced
was perscuted to the death. Again We
hear the divine voice sounding the same
truth which was spoken when Judah was
about to be overthrow, saying The
just shall live by faith
This word of the prophet, which is
quted thre etimes by st. Paul in his
Epistles, was very dear to Martin
Luther The great Reformer was sup

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
glsts here are kept busy dispensing freeL-
one, the ether discovery of a Gin
cinnau man, which is said to loosen any
corn SO 1t lifts out with the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce OF freezone, which will cost very
little, but is said TO be sufficient TO rid
ones feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You apply Just n few drops on the
tender aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that il lifts out without
pain. Tt is a sticky substance which
dries when applied and never inflames
or even irritates the adjoining tissue.
