OF Georgia Is q stream which
\ a century ago was called
'Warwoman's Creek" The war
woman" for whom it was so
called was an ignorant, unedu-
Gated, vulgar, common woman.
But in her breast burned the real
fire OF patriotism and love of the
young country which was hers.
For 1t was during the days Of
the Revolution that Mrs. Hart
lived. She was "Whig" and
held her husband in utter con.

more interest in the 'Whig"
cause and exhibit a proper hatred
for the Tories.
Nancy was an extremely home
~ woman. She, admitted tina:
she had never seen her face in
q mirror and had no desire, to.
She was without vanity and lived
her life in her miserable little
cabin, taking care of her small
daughter, loving her friends and
hating her enemies with all the
strength Of her primitive nature.
One day, while Nancy was at
work a young "Whig" soldier gal
loped up to her and begged for
protection. He told her that
Tories were pursuing him. Nancy
lifted the bars Of her cabin, took
the young man into her house.
Then she quickly led him to
the back door and showed where
he could hide In safety in the
swamp at the back OF her house.
Nancy resumed her work and
hardly looked UP when q party
Of Tories clustered in and asked
IL she had seen young man on
horseback. She replied that SHE
had seen such a person but that
he had turned and gone In a diff.
ferent direction.
This Infatuated the Tory Off
GERS and they demanded that
Nancy give them something to
eat. AS they did so, one Of them
shot and killed her only turkey.
Nancy demonstrated and said
that she did not feed traitors Of
kings men. But she had no
choice.
While cooking the turkey,
Nancy managed to instruct her
little girl to run to the well on

Lining her captives up, she or
dered them to march in single
file out Of the kitchen door into
the yard. And It was there Nancy
Hart conducted their execution.
They were hanged from a tree.
In her fury Nancy Hart declared
that shooting was too good for
them and that they should be
hanged-the only fitting death
for traitors to their country.
Nancy Hart was a rough, un-
couth woman. Today she may
appear unwomanly and brutal,
yet she loved her country with
the soul Of a real patriot and
showed this love in the best way
she knew. She was not only a
pioneer in a new country, but a
pioneer for liberty, and it was that
for which she fought.

sufficiently in advance of the others to

all seem to have persisted at about the

theory because of the great quantity of
food still remaining in camp. Thus
having eliminated three of four possible
reasons, there still remains only one
and it appears to me reasonable and
we'll supported by evidence at hand.

on a piece of ground absolutely open
to billiards from the northwest and
they are the ones that prevail in that
section during the winter months. There
is nothing to show that ordinary pre-
cautions were taken to prevent their
tent being blown by even light winds,
much less by Arctic billiards.. There
were several large drift logs nearby
at which they could have anchored their
tent. But none were used for this
purpose.
'They might have arrived at the is

the cold and exposure. 1t is likely
that while in bed the blizzard came
upon them, knocked the tent down and
continued enough to to freeze them
to death. The beds were laid on split
poles to keep them off the bare ground
and consequently when the tent was
thrown, the wind cold had access to
them both from top and bottom. I'm

but a short time even though protected

Blood is the very flow of life itself
Its function is the keeping all parts OF
the body free from poisonous acids.
How, then, can impure blood. contain
ing itself such poisonous acidsT-prop-
erly perform the function which nature
intended it should?
That is the solution TO many all
ments. Chief of these are rheumatism
and skin eruptions. Only clean pure
blood is capable of preserving clean,
pure body condition. Therefore, care
of the blood must be recognized as a
most important matter.
But how can you be certain that
your blood receives such care? Medical
science has approved and heartily en-
dorsed Taylor's Blood Medicine as
superior blood purifier known to keep
the blood in its proper condition.
Taylor's Blood Medicine contains
IOdide of Potash and other vegetable
ingredients such as Sarsaparilla, Dan
