THE OLD STAIXTOX I* Jlv i:
Story ot Two Brothers V lio
Fought on Opposite Suits
During the Civil War
Kris Kringle in all his splen
dor and glory can be found at al
most any store. Some of the dis
plays are magnificent. He has
laid in such a varied stock that all
tastes and desires can be satisfied.
As I sat in one of the stores in
my native town, which had the
largest display, I ha ’e seen and j
watched the crowd of eager pres- ,
ent seekers. I could not help con
trasting the present with the time
when I was a boy, fifty years ago.
and was one among the eager look
ers anc! admirers. I thought
Are these chiloren, with the pres,
ent surroundings, any happier than
we were? I think not. For then
we were pleased and satisfied with
what we had. This display can
do no more. The inventive genius
for the gratification and amuse
ment of children has kept abreast j
with other departments.
The water supply is getting to
be a serious problem in parts of
this county. Many farmers rely
entirely on cisterns,.most of which
are dry. Some are driving their
stock to water and hauling for
other purposes. There are being
a great many wells bored, getting
a fine supply of water at from 150
to 200 feet, most of which is
pumped by windmills There was
a slight rainfall one day recently,
but the thermometer fell to 22, cov
ering everything with ice.
I saw a locust post which has
been in the grcund for over twenty
five years, having been first used
*y the great-grandfather of the
person who now owns the place.
There is a macadamized road from
Staunton to Winchester, over
which many an old soldier of Bar*-
tow has marched, which was built
nearly sixty-five years ago, posted
at the line with square black locust,
nearly all of which are in good con
dition. This shows the durability
of the wood.
I was told this incident of our
civil war by a person who was an
eye-witness to the fact. There
were living in this county, be
fore the war, two brothers by the
name of Morris#. One went to
Maryland. enlisted on dif
ferent sides, the iMaryland brother
driving a team in the quartermas
ter’s department, the other belong-
to Mosby’s command. During a
raid of Mosby’s, near Berryville,
Va., the driver brother was cap
tured. He, with other prisoners
was sent up the river to Staunton,
passing by the Morriss home. The
Mosby brother got permission to
stop with his brother and visit their
mother and other relatives, he
being responsible for his safe de
livery to the authorities. After
spending a few days at home, the
brothers were seen marching up
the pike, one guarding the other,
and turned hjm over to the provost
guard at Staunton.
4;rip Quickly Knocked Out.
“Some weeks ago during the severe
winter both mv wife and myself con
tracted severe colds which speedily de
veloped into theworst kind of lagrippe
with alt its miserable symptoms,’’
says Mr. J. S. Egleston. of Maple
Landing,lowa. “Kneesand jointsach
ing.muscl’s sore.head stopped up,eyes
* and nose running, with alternatespells
of chills and fever. We began using
Chomberlain’s Cough Remedy, aiding
the same with a dose of Chamberlain’s
Stomrch and Liv er Tablets, and by its
liberal use soon completely knocked
out the grip ” These Tablets promote
a healthy actionot the bowels, liver
and kidneys which is always benefi

Says the Mongomery Ad
vertiser: "The South is a part of
the union, and is entitled to exactly
the same consideration that any
other section is. It should accept
the results of the election in good
faith, deserving and expecting fair
treatment, knowing its ability to
take care of itself, playing neither
the part of a beggar nor a bull,
it will be time enough to resent
injury when it comes, if it does
come. \7e of this part of the
union have no cause to parade
before the world with a chip on
our shoulder, nor to strut like a
game cock in a barnyard. Let’s
stick to business, and keep both
our dignity and our manhood,
fearing nothing, but expecting the
just and fair treatment due us as
an integral and co- ual part of
this great union.
A Certain Cure for Crup.
When a child shows symptoms of
croup there is no time to experiment
with new remedies, no matter how
highly they may be recommended.
There is one preparation that can be
depended upon. It has been in use for
many years and has never been known
to fail, viz; Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. Mr. M. F. Compton of Market
Texas, says of it, "I have used Cham
berlan’s Cough remedy in severe cases
of croup with my children, and can
truthfully say it always gives prompt
relief. M For Male by Oreene Drug CO.

THE GOOD OLD WAY.
A severe cold or attack of la grippe
is like a tire, the sooner you combat
it the better your chances are to over
power it. Hut few mothers in this
age are willing to do the necessary
work required to give a good old
fashioned reliable treatment such as
would be administered by their
grandmothers, backed by Boscliee's
German Syurp, which was always
liberally used in connection with the
home treatment of colds and is still
in greater household favor than any
known remedy. But even withou
the application of the old-fashioned
aids German Syrup will cure a severe
cold in quick time. It will cure colds
in children or grown people. It re
lieves the congested organs, aliays
the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough. Any child will take it.
It is invaluable in a household of
children. Trial sjze bottle, 25c;

NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY.
From Napier New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made of aM the cough
medicines that were sold in that mar
ket. Out of tne entire list they found
only one thatjthey declared was entire
ly tree from all poisons This except
ion was Chamberlains Cough Reme
dy,made by the Chamberlan Medicine
Company, Des Moines, lowa, U. S. A.
The absence of all narcotics makes
this remedy the safest and best
that can be had; and it is with a feeling
of security that any mother can
give it to her little ones. Chaberlain’s
Cough Remedy is especially recom
mended by its makers for coughs,
colds, cioup and whooping cough.
This remedy is for sale by Greene
