Cough Remedy K

N made kind. Easily done. =}
If you combined the curative
properties of every known “ready
made” cough remedy, you probably
could not get as much real curative
power as there is In this simple
home-made cough syrup, which - is
easily prepared in a rew minutes.
Get from any druggist 2 1-2
ounces of Pinex, pour it into a pint
bottle and fill the bottle with syrup,
using either plain, granulated sugar
syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or
corn syrup, as desired. The result
is a full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready
made for three times the money.
Tastes pleasant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of a cough
and gives almost immediate relief. It
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, ir
ritated membranes so gently and
easily that it is realy astonishing.
A day’s use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bron
chitis, croup, hoarseness and bron
chial asthma, there is nothing bet
ter.
- Pinex is a most valuable concen
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and has been used for
generations to break up severe
coughs.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for “2 1-2 ounces of Pinex”
with full directions, and don’t accept '
anything else. Guaranteed to give
absolute satisfaction or money

! MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I
Hereafter Mary Meredith will answer no letters unless the full
I name and address of each person asking advice is given in the let-
J ter. No names will be published at any time in this column, but it
is jecessary that the editor know from whom the letters come. Let
ters should be short, not more than 75 words when publication in
the paper is requested, and they should be written as legibly as
possible on one side of the paper only.
Letters not signed with the full name and address will go
I into the wastebasket in the future.
Could you give me a recipe for
removing wrinkles on the face? If
so, it will be greatly appreciated. Or
the address where I might get the
needed article or recipe. I have sev
eral deep wrinkles and just sights of
tiny little wrinkles are just beginning
on my face. I am 49. Will be 50
next April.
Answer: lam afraid that you
cannot remove the wrinkles en
tirely but I am sending you by
mail an article which tells you
how to massage the face and
bring the skin to a healthy con
dition. This will help some, but
you know at 50 one is supposed
to have wrinkles. They give
character and expression to the
face. I would not tvorry about
them as that will only make
worse. Cultivate a cheerful and
happy expression and people will
not notice the wrinkles.
I am coming to you for advice how
to learn faster in my books. I go to
school ever year, most? every day ex
cept when I am sick. I study real
hard. We have study periods and
I study then and at night and in
the evenings w’hen I come home un
til 12 and 1 o’clock. I always have
to stay in a grade two r three years.
Regardless of how hard I study I
miss my lessons that day. I am
only in the sixth grade and am six
teen years old. If there is anything
I do like it is to go to school. I
can’t see, nor any of my teachers can
see, why I cannot learn. Every
body says I talk and act like I have
good sense and everybody seems to
think much of me; but still I can
not learn my books. I want to make
a teacher, but it doesn't looks like I
will ever get an education. I live
on a farm and I like farm life fine.
JOHN.
Answer: Os course you have
good sense. Your letter shows
that. I do not understand why
you cannot learn readily. I
think, perhaps, you need glasses,
or perhaps your tonsils should
be taken out Sometimes when
a person is not quite well it in
terferes with their capacity to
learn. I think, too, that you
study too long at a time-- You
should never study later than
9:30 at night, as you cannot af
ford to miss the sleep. When
you stay up too late at night
you cannot learn next day be
cause both your brain and body
are tired. I suggest that you do
not study longer than thirty
minutes at a time. That at the
end of the thirty minutes you go
out for a brisk walk for fifteen
or twenty minutes and then csme
back to study again for another
thirty minutes. By breaking up
the study periods in this way
and by taking sufficient exercise
to keep your blood circulating
fast you ought to be able tc learn
better. Remember about not
staying up too late, and learn to
listen and concentrate on the one
thing you want to learn,
I am a boy, 17 years old, and am
coming to you for advice. I have
been studying music for the last
three years and dearly love singing.
My community needs a singing
teacher real bad and have kindly
chosen me as their leader, but I am
not quite able to undertake the job.
I mean I do not know quite enough
about the rudiments of music to
begin teaching. Can you tell me
where I can enter into a music
school this fall and prepare myself

DEEP LOVER OF MUSIC.
ANSWER: I regret that I am
unable to give you any definite
information.
/I am a girl of 15> I have light
hair, blue eyes and fair complexion,
5 feet 3 inches. Do you think I am
too young to dance with the boys and
also go to parties with them? Is
there any harm in boys wearing
your ring? Or is it wrong for a
girl to keep a boy’s knife? Is it
all right for a girl to go out riding
with a boy on Sunday afternoon?
What should a girl tell a boy when
he asks her to kiss him? Is it all
right to correspond with a boy? Is
there any harm in asking a boy for
his picture? Is it wrong to read a
' letter that a boy received from an
■ other girl? How late should a boy
friend stay at night*
“BLUE-BIRD E. A.”
ANSWER: You are old enough
to go to young people’s parties,
with boy friends, and to dance
with boy friends—you are too
young for sweethearts, of
course. There is no particular
harm in letting a boy wear your
ring—though it seems rather
silly, doesn’t it? The same is—
true of the knife. There should
be an older person with you
when you go car-riding on
/ Sunday afternoon.
You should never permit boys
to kiss you—tell them that you
dislike such requests, and that
you permit no such familiarity.
There’s no harm in correspond
ing with a boy. I would not
ask a boy for his picture.
I do not think it quite
“square” to read a letter written
by another girl t to a boy—un
less you are all three friends,
and she knows that you are to
read it. Otherwise, it is not hon
orable, and the boy should
know that a gentleman never
shows a lady’s letters to others.
A boy should not stay later
than 10:30 at night.
I am eighteen years of age and
am engaged to a young man, age
twenty-three. Are we too young to
marry? I love him dearly and I
thing he loves me.
My parents do not like this young
man because he has not of my social
standing. Should I sacrifice my
own happines by not marrying him?
He works and I thjnk he would make
me a good living. Do you think he
would make me a good husband? I. :
we should live away from his peo
lie? I am undecided what to di.
Please, give me your best advice.
“UNDECIDED.”
ANSWER: Eighteen is too
young for marriage. Wait a
, year at least. Often a year’s en
gagement serves to convince
both young folks that they do
not love each other enough to
spend the rest of their lives to
gether.
Social standing, birth and
breeding, count for a great deal
in tha,t persons of the same
class usually have the same
tastes and standards of living,
which usually makes for hap
piness in marriaje, and for that
reason, it is better to marry in
one’s own class; but, when two
persons are absolutely certain
of a real and lasting love for
each other, a difference in social
status should make no differ
ence. Only be certain that it is
real love and not a passing
fancy. Otherwise you will be
miserable later.

I AUNT JULIA’S I
LETTER BOX
My Dear Children:
Last year I made a resolution, and truly this year I am going to
try to carry it out. Guess what it was? “Get ready for Christmas.”
You know how the days up on you this time of the year. Well
what I want to do is each week to finish at least one of the gifts I ex
pect to make. Os course, that wouldn’t cover my list, but it would
help a long way and what I made would have more care and thought,
for no matter how simple a gift is it wants to show thought.
Now, won’t you all write some suggestions, something that will
help the cousins and me to make Christmas happier? You see, if you
get things in ship-shape, why at the time of Christmas rushing you
can be “first aid” to your mothers and that will certainly make both
your Christmas and tier’s happier. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA..
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit a little girl from North Carolina into
your happy band of cousins? As I am a

ins like to go to school? I, for one. Our
school started today. I am in the eleventh

swer to your riddle is “a man plowing a
horse.” Am I right? And the answer to
the riddle, “Crooked as a rainbow, teeth
like a cat; guess all your lifetime you
can’t guess that;” is a blackberry brier.
Is it not? Elbia Kitchin, your letter was
fine. Write again and tell us more about
the country. As my letter is getting long,
will close. Hoping so see this in print.

ins. Your new cousin,

CONDUCTED BY
MrSIW.H. FELTON
General Stoneinan’s Raid and Capture
Nobody knows the forgetfulness of
age better than myself, but when
Stoneman made his very celebrated
raid below Atlanta in July, 1864, 1
had the forethought to write down
the occurrences of that awful time
and they were also printed in a
Macon newspaper the week after the
raid was over and General Stoneman
surrendered to General Alfred Iver
son, beyond Clinton, in Jones coun
ty, Georgia.
We lived on an old plantation east
from Macon. We had refugeed to
the place earlier in the year 1864,
and after General Joe Johnston re
tired from Cassviye, in Cherokee
county, Georgia, during May, 1864,
we had no other shelter until August,
1865, for ourselves and a consider
able number of slaves.
On Friday we were informed by
grapevine, otherwise rumor. that
General Stoneman with a large force
of cavalry was advancing on Ma
con, and it was said he aimed to go
on to Andersonville from Macon if
he succeeded in Capturing Macon.
The newspapers said nothing about
his line of march, but we sent a
colored woman over to Macon to
get our mail, a distance of four
miles, in direct line, in the after
noon of that day.
She generally made a considerable
stay in the city but she surprised us
by an early return and she had evi
dently been in great hurry. She
said a Confederate soldier overtook
her as she was walking inside the
Central railroad bridge (the city’s
bridge having been burned early in
war), and he told her to hurry as the
Yanks were coming at a terrible
pace and they. might get to her
house before dark. She was almost
speechless because of her fatigue
and the July heat of the weather.
We had some visiting friends in
the house and we all pooh-poohed the
story, told her to sit down and fan
herself until supper time “because
somebody had made up a fool story
to scare her.” , She quietly replied.
“He is scared to death himself for
his horse was in a lather of sweat
and he was in no better fix himself.”
Nevertheless we ate supper in quiet
and went to bed with the big window
shutters wide open because the night
was so Close and sultry, and we had
no window glass. When daylight
came the air was torrid and my
husband rose early and took a seat
on the front door steps as usual
to see the farm hands get about
their daily labors. I had also slept
poorly and my two little boys had
been restless all night.
The colored woman who milked
the cows and her ten-year-old boy,
who always went with her to rope
the calves, passed along with the
big milk pail towards the cow pen
just over the hill. I was putting
on my shoes and stockings when 1
heard the boy running back and
screaming to my husband. “Yankees
over there, thousands of ’em.”
In a few minutes the fate of the
earth was blue with cavalrymen, all
mounted, canteens rattling and now
riding frantically towards the city.
They demanded that Dr. Felton
should go with them to show the
nearest way. Somehow he evaded
them and we knew we were in for
something that might be death for
a good many before the day was
over. Squad after squad came along
and we were surrounded. Every
house on the place was entered and
the more leisurely amused themselves
by killing my chickens and stripping
the beautiful peach orchard with
the fruit ripening, and the cornfields
full of young roasting ears for their
service was great luck to them.
The cook kitchen was crowded
all day. They made the colored
woman cook hot biscuit, chicken and
corn all day long. We could hear
the cannon over toward Macon all
the forenoon. The small arms, also
like crackers on the Fourth of July.
We dared not leave the dwelling.
The - little boys were in a panic of
fright when the soldiers concluded
to shoot all over the place, for
the fun of it, I suppose.
This went on until about 4 p. m.
(There were fresh squads coming
and going, some of them drunk on
the peach brandy they found in
peopled cellars. They took off out
fine saddle horse, a gray Kentuc”
mare, leaving her colt behind,
had ridden her to Macon to get the
mail a few days before. As the
sun declined the gang seemed to
decrease. After dark there were
hundreds of camp fires in the bot
tom lands, but when daylight of
Sunday came no foe was in sight.
The smoke from the camp fires
could still be seen. The growing
corn was trampled down and my
chicken yard was bare of fowls, but
we were afraid to go oirt of doors
after dark, and accordingly sat up
(we older ones), until break of
day. Some neighbors, afraid to stay
at home, flocked to us. We made
pallets for all the children and
talked in whispers. Not a gleam
of light was allowed in the house.
We had firearms handy, but we

i were not disturbed. We th-.aked;
God for preserving mercies because j
we understood our danger and s
what lawless drunken men could
to if so disposed.
It was nearly 11 a. m. on Sun
day morning before the silence
that prevailed was broken. We
were painfully anxious as to the
fate of Macon.
As we watched the woods that
extended from our front door to
the main road leading from Clin
ton to Macon, we saw a man out
beyond, hiding behind a big oak
tree, and he ran quickly to an
other tree for hiding as we sup
posed. Then we saw’ another man
performing in the same way. Di
rectly we discovered they were
Maconites, spying out the land,
and delighted to discover that the
Yankees were not in possession, as
they feared.
Then we heard cannon and small
arms firing at a furious rate to
wards Clinton. It was there Gen
eral Iverson overtook the Stobe
man cavalry. and where the latter
surrendered. Next day the prisoners
were carried back to Macon. A
number of us went out to the main
Clinton road to see them go by.
And a sight it was!
And the plunder that they had
taken from the farmers and people
living in towns through which
they passed was something to look
at. Thus ended Stoneman’s raid,
an< - ’ there was great rejoicing over
th» Confederate victory.
We saw the crop destroyed that
had cost so much time and labor
and was so badly needed, but we
sent the teams to Macon to haul
for the quartermasters and com
missary’s, hoping to get enough to
feed us during the coming winter.
We were glad to be alive, to be
sure! Late Monday afternoon a
wagon with driver walking beside
his horse stopped at our gate. He
was an eighteen-year-old boy,
drafted a few days before for home
defense, was a corpse inside the
wagon. He had been killed bn Sat
urday and the blood dripped slow
ly underneath the wagon. That
was the aftermath.
That is war.
