Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with LOCAL applications, as they )
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
di lease, and in order to cure it you
mast take internal remedies. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine, It
w; s prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years,
and is a regular prescription. It is
co aposed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood pur¬
ifiers, acting directly on the mu¬
cous surfaces. The perfect combi
na.ion of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful re¬
sults in Catarrh. Send for testi¬
monials, free.

A CONFEDERATE HOSPITAL.
A plan has been suggested for
building a hospital for confedera e
veterans, on the land belonging to
the soldiers’ home, near Atlanta.
The idea is a good one, so far as
providing a hospital for confederate
veterans is concerned, as they
should all be tenderly cared for
when sick, or when they are disa
b ed by any other cause.
The plpn suggested for raising
the money is to pro rate the cost of
th<'building between all the coun
ties in the state, and then let each
county raise its part by subscrip¬
tion or otherwise as it may adopt.
The promoters of the movement
suggest that the money be raised
and turned over to a central com¬
mittee, ia Atlanta, or to Judge W.
L. Calhoun, chairman of the board
of trustees, by tlieearly spring time,
' so the building can be erected at
the same time the soldiers’ home is
being rebuilt.
We think the plans and sugges¬
tions for establishing a confederate
soldiers’ hospital, are all very good
and timely, except the plan for
rai tug the money to build it.
We do not endorse that.
The soldiers’ home was built
with money raised through the gen¬
erous charity of the people of Geor
gia. After it was built, the trus
tecs of the property generously of
fered it to the state as a free gift
for the purpose of establishing a
home for the needy old veterans,
and to maintain it as a home for
them as long as they lived.
The state declined to accept the
property many times, but finally
agreed to take it, and assume
the care of all veterans unable to
care for themselves. That accept¬
ance was an implied contract to
keep the home and maintain the
veterans as long as they lived.
It is the state’s duty, therefore,
to establish a hospital at the home
for the care of the sick and disa¬
bled v lerans, either in the home
or in a separate building, where
they can be properly nursed and
cared for, and no one should be
asked to subscribe a dollar for such
•
purpose.

obligations to do, and is bound by 1
every sense of honor and duty to
fulfill.
Now that the state has accepted
the trust of maintaining the home
and caring for the veterans, she
cannot afford to let them suffer for
lack of proper attention if they are
sick or feeble enough to require
mtrsing in a hospital, and must
prepare such a place at the home.
The Star is really heart-sick and
tired of the state “begging 1 > for
money to do that which she must
do herself. If the hospital is need :
ed at the home, the state must build
and maintain it. If any citizen
wishes to contribute to it, she can
thankfully accept it, but she must

more.
We hope the hospital will be es¬

morally bound to do it, and must
not fti. to do her duty in the matter.

Rest of My History.
When that girl told me she never
thought for a moment of loving
me, it made me so mad I thought I
would let all the girls get husband
hungry before I would ever say
another word to one about marry¬
ing, and I never did for two years.
My desire has always been to aim
high if I hit low, and so I bought
a buggy, and resolved that no girl
would ever fool me again. I was
now the proud possessor of a fine
horse and buggy. My first trip in
it was to an adjoining county, some
distance from home. I attended a
big ball that night almost among
strangers. I soon spied a beautiful
girl, but I never made her acquain¬
tance in time to talk with her
much. I went home, thinking of
her by day and dreaming of her at
night, until to relieve my mind, I
wrote her a most loving letter. Be
fori the letter hardly had time to
reach her I was at the office, ex¬
pecting a reply. Pretty soon it
came. Here it is in full, read it :

smart man toe rite sich an affec¬
tionate and heartstirring letter.

Your luving,
Betty Makeshift. ) *
When I received that letter all
the beauty and charms of that girl
faded from my vision like dew
drops before a July sun. I was
easily blown of! that track, and the
next Saturday night found me over
on the river again. I carried a girl
to church the next day, and to
prayer meeting that night. The
short time I was with her convinc¬
ed me that she loved me, and I saw
no reason why we should not mar¬
ry in the near future.
After returning from prayer
meeting that night it was too far
to go home, and so I readily ac¬
cepted a cordial invitation to spend
the night. The old lady told me I
could “mortify” a bed in a shed
room, and I soon retired. Before
I did so I noticed a great big crack
near my head that was letting in
the cold air off the river too freely.
To remedy the matter I stuffed my
pants in the crack. The next morn¬
ing bright and early I heard the
girl say :
t 4 Maw, I was thinking pretty
well of that fellow, but if he ain’t
got no more sense than to hang his
breeches on the gate post, when he
goes to bed, he need not come back
here to see me again. Book at old
Buck. » »
I looked out the crack and saw
that an old red ox had my pants
down his throat except a little piece
of the waistband. The old man
came in, while tears were in my
eyes as big as horse apples, and
loaned me a pair of his. I return¬
ed home the saddest boy that ever
lived on this earth. The sight of
that girl, a year afterwards, would
have killed me dead. How I did
wish to see that old red steer in a
Chicago butcher pen.
I sold that old man’s pants to a
nigger for a quarter, provided he
would never tell who he bought
them from.
I never mentioned marrying to
another girl until I had learned
some sense. Then I married the
most beautiful woman that has
ever lived on this earth, Cleopatra
not excepted.

sense before you start iu search of

A Story for Our Boys.
The principal of a school in
which boys were prepared "or col¬
lege one day received ssage
from a lawyer living in the same
town, requesting him to call at his
office as he wished to have a talk
with him.
Arrived at the office, the lawyer
stated that he had in his gift a
scholarship entitling a boy to a
four years’ course in a certain col¬
lege, and that he wished to bestow
it where it would be best used.
< < Therefore, > > be continued, “I
have concluded to let you decide
which boy of your school most de¬
serves it. ■ t
l < That is hard question, 9 * re
a
plied the teacher thoughtfully.
“Two of my pup.!. --Charles Hart
and Henry Strong—w 11 complete
the course of study in n 1 cbool
this year. Both desire a o.leee
educatiou, and neither is able to
obtain it without assistance, 'ill..
are so nearly equal that I cannot
tell which is the better scholar?”
«< How is it as to deportment ?”
asked the lawyer.
4 4 One boy does not more scrupu¬
lously observe all the rules of the
school than the other,” was the
answer.
4 I Well,” said the lawyer, i 4 if at
the end of the year one boy has
not gone ahead of the other, send
them to and I will decide. >>
me
As before, at the closing examin
tions the boys stood equal in at¬
tainments, They were directed to
call at the lawyer’s office, no in¬
formation being given as to the ob¬
ject of the visit.
Two intelligent, well bred boys
they seemed, and the lawyer was
beginning to wonder greatly how
he should make a decision between
them. Just then the door opened
and an elderly lady of peculiar ap¬
pearance entered. She was well
known as being of unsettled mind
and possessed of the idea that she
had been deprived of a large for¬
tune which was justly hers. As a
consequence she was in the habit
of visiting lawyers offices, carrying
in her hands a package of papers
which she wished examined. She
was a familiar visitorito this office,
where she was always received with
respect.
This morning, seeing that the
lawyer was already occupied with
others, she seated herself to await
his leisure. Unfortunately, the
chair she selected was broken and
had been set aside as useless.
The result was that she tell in a
rather awkward manner, scatter¬
ing her papers about the floor. The
lawyer looked with a quick eye at
the boys before moving himself, to
see what they would do.
Charles Hart, aite an amused
survey of the fall, tur 'ed aside to
hide a laugh.
Henry Strong sprang to t T'->
man’s side and lifted her to her
feet. Then, carefully gathering up
her papers, he politely handed them
to her. Her profuse and rambling
thanks only served to increase
Charlie’s amusement.
After the lady had told her cus¬
tomary story, to which the lawyer
listened with every appearance of
attention, he escorted her to the
door and she departed.
Then he returned to the boys,
and, after 'expressing pleasure at
having formed their acquaintance,
he dismissed them. The next
the teacher was informed of the
occurrence, and told that the schol¬
arship would be given to Henry
Strong, with the remark : “No one
so well deserves to be fitted for a
position of honor and influence as
he who feels it his duty to help the
humblest and the lowliest.”—Our
