SICK OB WELL, A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY. Tho Packers at tho Hattie of San tiago de Cuba were all Heroes Tlieir Herioc Efforts in Getting Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. Butler, of pack-ttain No. 3, writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23d, says: “We all bail diarrhoea le more or less violent form, anil when we londed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of ruth and rush nighi and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations but thanks to Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work aud keep our health; in foct, I sincesely beleive that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect ssviour of our army for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no woy of getting supplies to the front. There were no roadi that a wagon train could use. My comrada and myself had the good iorcnne to lay in a supplv of his mepicine for eur pack-train be fere we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saadd liefe.” The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this mediciue, the Chamberlain Medicine Cos., Des Moines, lowa.

While sitting with h'm at the camp fire late one night, after every one else had gone to bed, I 'said to him. “General, it seems singular that you have gone through all the tum ble of army service and frontier life, and have never been provoked into swearing. I have never heard you uttee an oath or use an imprecation.’ Well, somehow or other, I never learned tc swear,” he replied “When a boy I seemed to have ap aversion to it, and when I became a man I saw the folly of it. I have always no ticed, too, that swearing helps to rouse a man’s anger; and when a man flies into a passion, his adver sary who keep* cool always g e f s khe better of him' In fact, I could never see tho use ot swearing I think it is the case with many people who swear excessively, tliot it is a mere habit, and that they do not mean to be pro fane, but, to say the least, it is a great waste of lime ” —Michigan Advocate. The speech of Father Abraham in the last number of Poor Richard’s Al manac published by Benjamin Frank lin 'n 1757 contains the Wisdom of many ages aud nations assembled and formed into one counected'discourse. When fist published it attracted word wide attention and was copied in all of tho newspapers in america and En gland and translated into many for eign languages. Would you not like to read h?

An old bachelor bought a pair of socks and in the toe of one of them he found a note which read; “1 am a young lady of twenty and would like to correspond with a view to matrimony” Onr friend wrote to the address given and in a fe.w days recived the reply: “I was married 1 three years ago last Christmas.” — The merchant who sold the socks did not advertise I had chronic diarrhoea for twelve, Three bottles of Chamberlain’s Colic- Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured me. S L. Shaver. Fincastle, Va Both Mu. Gibbs and Mr. Shaver 'are prominent farmers aDd reside | near Fincastle, Vi. They procured tile remedy from Mr. W. E. Casper, a druegist of that place, who is well acquainted with them and will vouch for the truth of their statements. For sale by R. T. Thompson, Horner, Ga. and Shore & Lewis, Baldwin. Everybody should patronize their home and county paper. the parting. Selected. Mabel, at Inst the tine has come, When our lives must drift apart: When by your fond an winning ways You have broken another heart. You’ll never know how I’ve loved you, ’Till we meet or.Jfyonder shore, Where the cares of life and the break ing ot hearts Have ceased foievermore.* Farewell Mabel, friends and homo We may never meet again,) For mid strangers I must r.am Oh! this parting gives me pain. Cut since fate has thus decreed it, Go your way, in peace depart, But remember you have broken A warm and loving heart. May you never have a sorrow That will carve furrows on your blow As'does this cloud of darkness That is hanging o’er me now. But may your life bo happy, And if you ever wed, May God shower Bis choicest bless ings On your fair and loving bead. If you ever think of me, love, If you e’er remember this, Do not think of this sad parting But remember former bliss. And may ne’er forgt, Some hours we have spent Which leave because they did not last, A lingering regret. —Exchange It is not a liniment, nor a salve. Contains no grease, o” ammonia.

Gladstone’s Will. “On no account shall a laudtory in scription be placed ever me.” These words in the will of William Ewart Gladstone are expressive of the simple, unostentatious nature of the roan. He had .’ a beastv dislike of ful someness; he hated gush. Mr. Gladstone cared very little of praise whileliving, anpas he approach" ed the end of his life laudation aud eulogy, probably became very cheap in his eyes. It is hard to imagine an epitaph which would be worthy of in scription on the tomb of such a man. Ilis name, the date of bis birth and death are all that aro necessary and all that th,e best taste would dictate. In a corner of Westminster abbey the mortal remains of one whose words havi charmed and aruused more people, perhabs, than any man who has lived in this century, and yet. there are only two words on the slab tliot covers his grave. They are Charles Dickens. Robert C. Winthrop, who for a long time was chairman of the Washington Monument commission, had a hard fight to prevent tho engraving of ela borate inscriptions on that nobel shaft’ He contended that it should be left untuched by the hand of the eulogist and not even the name of Washington should be placed upon it. All the world would know for all times to come to whom the monument was erf-cod and all the world would knew would know what Washington did and why the people of his country reared in iiis honor the tallest monument on earth. Fortunanely, Mr. Winthrop pre vailed. It would be a pitty to have the Washington monument desecra ted by ban last, and nowhere is bad tast mo-e frequently displayed than in epitaphs and memorial inscriptions. Mr. Gladstone proved his good sense as well as his modesty when he provided that no laudatory insefiption should be placed over him. Tetter, Salt-JRlieiun and Eczema. The intense itehing and smarting ncident to these diseases, is instantly allayed by applying Chamberlain’s Eye and Skin Ointment' Many very bad cases have been permanently cured by it- It Is equally efficient for itching piles and a favorite reme dy for sore nipples, chapped hands hilblalns, frost bites and chronic sore eyes. 35 cts, per box.

Northern soldiers at the ssuthern camps complain of heat, although, even in the dog days, the Jnights in Florida are delightfully cool—much pleasanter than in the Middle Ssntes of this union l Europe sweeters when the thermometer is not abo e 80 degrees, what we call warm weath er. Now in this warm spell, as we would call it, the death rate in Paris is the heaviest since the evil daps of the seige. So many soldiers have been prostrated bv the heat that the heads of the Grench army think of postponing the remainder of the ma noeuvres. The New York Press tel’s us that on “tho east nde of London there is among the masses, who eat too freely of stale meat anc fish when they can get it, the greatest suffering Every big full blooded London po liceman who succumbed to t L e heat was wearing a Heavy undershirt, a waistcoat, the heavy long coat of his uniform, and an unventilatee helmet weigeing nearly two pounds. A French cavalryman’s braas helmet glistens finely in the sunlight’ and the caps of the French idfantryman are certainly more natty than the plain brown campaign bat of our own in fantry; but both make sunstroke easy. Heavy busbies and brass hel mnls are survivals of the time when officer and private must look stiff and uncomfortable—seldiery, our fathers called it— no matter if they dropped dead in their tracks.” We sent our soldiers to Cuba in midsummer, clad as if they were cam paigning in a winter zone, and their rasioDS were not aday'ed wholly to the tropics, No wonder they got sick, wheu thus clad and fed, yielding to the necessity also of drinking im pure water and eatiug green or un wholesome fruit. Yet the marines stationed in Cuba, near Santiago, have just returned 450 strong, in excellent health, all of them because they were commanded bv a mail of sense and discipline. A book on “Duelling” ends, we understand, with this sentdnee: “The reader well observe that, in llie numerous affairs of honor I have recorded, no man lost lus life who did not have a fool for a second.’. We do not know how this is, but it seems that the marines, who retunned hale and hearty, while so many thousands of saidiers com- ing f-om the same locality were sick almost unto death, had a wise com mander and no fool - Is the moral conclusive? —Ex. SOUR STOMACH CURE A long time I was a great sufferer from Liver and Stomach troubles. I had a dull pain in my left side under my heart. At times my side became Swollen and the pain acute. My stomach was always sour and I wo lid vomit every time I eaf. My bowels were very irregular, causing me pain and distress. I tried many things with out and benefit.
