Of what use can be a
ing fun when tlie swoot southern
wind is blowing? Especially when
Nature is about her spring clean-
ing in the woods, with traces of
G ° d ’ 8 handiwork everywhere;
wlien tho sky is washed over night
and the sun freshly enameled at
morn; with new leaves swaying
and whispering, while tho wild
flowers courtesy and dance liko a
miniature comic opera. To-day
the balmy breeze is blowing soft ly
from the south, heedless of the
distant thunder iu the far north-
west that is threatening ft vevolt
against nil early spring. J list now
the farmers around are too busy
to sniff the spring breeze or listen
to the war of thunder. Their mot-
to seems to In: "Time and tide
wait for no man.” Some have
planted corn, others are planting,
In fact, everyone seems to be in a
hurry. Even the cows move quick¬
er on their march to the woods to
j nip Hie fresli buds and grass.

To tiso an eighteenth century
phrase, this an “o'er true tali 1 .”
Having happened in a small \ ir-
giniii town in the winter of 11X12,
it is a story very much of the
present. Up ton very short time
agi i Mrs. John E. Hannon, of
Mel fa Station, Va., had no per¬
sonal knowledge of the rare cura¬
tive properties of Clmthbeldam's
Cough remedy. "Last January,”
-lie says, “my baby took a dread-
mi cold and at one time I feared
she would have pneumonia, but
one of mr neighbors told uie how
this remedy had cured her little
boy and began giving it to my ba¬
by at once and it soon cured her.
I heartily thank tho manufactur¬
ers of Chamberlain's Coligh Rem-
edy for placing so great a cure
within my reach. I hope all
who read this will try this reme¬
dy and be convinced as I was.”
