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. F. J. Cheney & Co., Props., Ohio.

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. T 1 -- state of Georgia is not yet bankrupt, that it should continu¬ ally beg the people for money to do that which she is not only able to do herself, but is under contract He Fooled the Surgeons.

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 no t BI ? G f or a dollar. It is not nec essary, and should not be done any more. We hope the hospital will be es¬ tablished, but the state must build and maintain it. She is legally and morally bound to do it, and must not fti. to do her duty in the matter. Salsm Rev/s.

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 : 4 4 Pap's Farm, Georgy. Misture Snip—Deer Sur :— When I red yo letter I wos so glad toe no thar wos one boy that had fell head over heels in luv with me. Yo can rest easy that I luv yo jest the same. I showed yo letter toe pap, an he sed yo must er bin cr smart man toe rite sich an affec¬ tionate and heartstirring letter. Cum rail soon. 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. Moral : Young man, learn some sense before you start iu search of a wife. SAM SNIP.

CLIFFORD WALKER, Referee in Bankruptcy, V 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 Dumb Animals.
