The Monument at King's Mountain,
N. C., was dedicated on October 7. It is
in commemoration of the signal victory
of the Carolina soldiers over the British
Colonel Ferguson in 1781. The British
had captured Charleston and Savannah,
had overrun Georgia and South Carolina
?.. ? "tic incoming iu exiena ineir victorious
march northward into Virginia.
Ferguson was encamped on a hill top, in
a position that was apparently impregnable.
The patriots attacked from all
four sides at once. Ferguson faced his
troops first northwardly to meet one attack;
then, finding an attack in his rear.
he faced them southwardly to resist the
other. The patriots took advantage of
his change of front and pressed him till
his whole command surrendered. Then
finding that they had captured more guns
than they could carry, they removed the
flints from the captured muskets aud
compelled the prisoners to carry their
own gdns with them to the prison pen
in Virginia. The victory was the turning
point of the Revolutionary War and secured
the independence of the Colonies.

At Point Pleasant, W. VaM on Saturday
last a monument was unveiled in commemoration
of the battle of Point Pleasant
against the Indians. The battle was
in 1774. The Indians of five nations had
combined against the Colonists, the
Shawnees, the Delawares, the Wyandottes,
etc. The massacres of previous
years had warned them all of the necessity
of driving the Indians away. Under
General Andrew Lewis, the victory was
complete. The monument is tall and
handsome.
The President is still in the West. At
the present he is enjoying a trip among
the big Sequoia trees of California. He
will turn his face eastward next week.
A Railroad Tunnel is proposed under
the Elizabeth river in Southwestern Virginia
to enable trains from the West to
enter the city of Norfolk with ease. It
will lead to a new wharfage near Cape
Henry for transferring freight to sea going
vessels.
Infected Cattle: A decision of importance
has been rendered in Kentucky on
the subject of diseased cattle. A farmer
sued to prevent the State Board of Health
from killing certain cows of his which
the Board believed to be infected with
tuberculosis. The court decided that as
it is a matter of menace to the public
health the Board has the right to kill
them, even though the law does not make
provision for reimbursing the owner.

Governor Hughes is determined to enforce
the law and the grand jury has
indicted some of the wealthiest men in
the State for countenancing the evil. It
looks serious for the participants.
Blasting a Rice Dam: At Jennings, La.,
there has been ill feeling between the
?H. October 13, igog.?
rice growers and the cattle raisers. The
former needed water wherewith to flood
their fields. The latter wanted dry fields
for grazing. Six men have been arrested
upon the charge of having dynamited the
dams which protected the rice fields.
Night Riders in Kentucky: The rough
crowd that has been operating under the
guise of assisting the Burley Fool of
farmers to sustain the price of burley
tobacco and has been whipping men w"ho
preferred to sell their tobacco independently,
has received a warning from the
Governor of the State. Ho has published
a letter urging every man to be careful
and not act precipitately, but bidding
them resist the night riders and if necessary
to shoot. He promises a pardon to
any man who' is accused of violence in
the'defence of his home against night
riders.
The Death of Marie Caldwell, who married
a Count, brings to notice the responsibility
that every man owes to God
for the use of his money. By birth and
training she was a Presbyterian and a
member of the Presbyterian Church. She
had inherited large money, perhaps three
million dollars. She listened to the euticements
of some Roman Catholic and
left her Church to unite with the Catholic

and renouncing Catholicism, returned to
Protestantism. But her money remains
with the Romanists.

"For a number of years," says a Kansas
lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting
me, and yet, I was so fond of it, 1 could
not give it up. I paltered with my appetite
and of course yielded to the temptation
to drink more. At last I got so bad

"Everything I ate distressed me, aud I
suffered severely almost all the time with
palpitation of the heart. I frequently
woke up in the night with the feeling
that I was almost gone?my heart seemed
so smothered and weak in its action that
I feared it would stop beating. My
breath grew short and the least exertion
set ine to panting. I slept but little and
suffered from rheumatism.
"Two years ago I stopped using the
coffee and began to use Postum, and
from the very first I began to improve.

I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats

person, and it 1$ all due to quitting
coffee and using Postum, for I haven't
used any medicine and none would have
done any good as long as I kept drugging
with coffee." "There's a Reason." Read
