It was really picturesque and defies accorate description by pen or tongue His fascinating, perfect diction coupled with a clear, well modulated voice and easy posture of body and graceful ges tures, made truly a great oration, and one that was listened attentively to and frequently 'interrupted by hearty applause of admiration and approval. “The silver tongue orator prefaced his address by remarking upon the open hospitality of the citizens, and the progress, enterprise and thrift which had noted among them. Scattered throughout the city Le had observed many monuments to the fact that the principles of the Red Men had been disseminated in thia seetion. These monuments, which were in the shape of splendid churches and com modiooe school buildings, marked re ligion, education and industry, which is closely linked with the peerleu mot to of the Red Men—freedom, friend ship and charity. * ’ » .* “Judgd Daniel is a prominent lawyer of Georgia.

A Famous Lecture A lecture which has created much enthusiasm wherever it has beau de livered is that of President E. Benja min Andrews, of Brown University. This distinguished lecturer and edu cator will speak before a southern au dience for the second time during the big Confederate reunion in Atlanta. ' That one of the most splendid eu logies ever pronounced on the cbarac-. ter of the general of the Confederate armies sbeuld come from a northern man, and the president of one of the most famous of northern universities, is evidence that the mists of the past which prevented the people of one section from a clear discernment of the eharacter of tbe civil war heroes of the other section, are rapidly rolling sway. Prof. Andrews has made a thorough study of the characteristics and career of Robert E Lse, and Cow m»n have ever described tbe groat hero more completely. His recital of Loo’e mili tary achievements and his tribute to Lee, the soldier, are remarkably stroag end.eloquent. Prof. Andrews declares that we may find in history no nvaa who combined the great juelilies which shine forth in Robert E Lee. Tbe estimate of Lee. which Pref. Andiews gives in his lec ture,high as it is, is that which the civ ilized world has scceptrd and which history will record. Let every Confederate soldier who still loves and honors tbo memory of Lee hear Ibis grand lecture. THE HCHIENCE M SttßF SF MS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of* purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acta on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing then), and it does not gripe nor nauseate.
