A War Romance.
Nelson Holden, of Troup county,
Georgia, joined the first regiment from
the state when the war broke out. He
left behind a young and very beautiful
wife, having been married only a few
months. Holden was a good soldier,
and only once during the war did be
obtain a furlough and visit his wife.
He was at home for a short time dur
ing the summer of 1863 and soon after
he returned to the war he was taken
prisoner. Before Holden had an op
portunity of writing to his wife after
his capture, he was taken ill with a
slow, malarial fever. When captured,
Holden had become separated from his
company, anil his comrades thought he
had been killed in battle.
Mrs. Holden’s first notice of the sup
posed death of her husband was con
tained in some resolutions passed by
his company, a copy of which was for
warded to the family.
Without making any investigation,
Mrs, Holden mourned her husband as
dead, while he was lingering between
life and death in a northern prison. It
was many months before he fully re
covered fiom the effects of the terr'ble
fever.
Holden was not released until after
the close of the war, and weak from his
long illness and penniless, he started
to make his way to the little home in
Georgia. He was compelled to seek
employment several limes to earn mon
ey to continue his journey, and it was
late in the autumn of 1865 when Hol
den came in sight of his little' home.
He was a wreck of his former self, and
fully realized that it would be difficult
for bis own wife to recognize him. Ar
riving at the home he had left more
than two years before, Holden found
it occupied by strangers. Without dis
closing his identity he asked where
Mrs. Holden was.
“O, she married Chris Jones and
moved away last spring,” was the an
| swer received.
Holden was prostrated by the shock
of this startling intelligence, but, with
out giving his name, he turned and
walked slowly away from the little
home where the happiest Lours of his
life had been passed.
He made do effort to find his wife,
but continued his journey to Clay coun
ty, Alabama.
Holden worked a while as a farm
laborer, and finally saved enough mon
ey to purchase a Bmall farm of bis own.
In time the old love was forgotten and
he married again.
Holden prospered, and after a few
years owned one of the best farms in
the county. Several children were'
MoDONOUGII, GA.. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1804.
born, and it was not long uutil his first
marriage seemed like a dream.
Four years ago Mrs. Holden No. 2
died, leaving five children. About a
year after the death of bis wife Mr.
Holden sold a portion of his farm to a
man named Jones from Georgia. Mr.
Jones built a house aud moved his fam
ily to Alabama.
Soon the two farmers became good
friends, but Mr. Holden had uever
been to the house of his neighbor, aud
had never seen his wife.
Less than a year ago Mr Jones died.
His neighbor, Mr. Holden, of course,
attended the funeral, and caused no
little excitement by going off in a dead
faint when introduced to the weeping
widow of the dead man That was not
the time or place for explanations, and
the next day after the funeral Mr. Hol
den called on his former wife, aud this
time the recognition was mutual.
Mrs. Jones’ period of mourning will j
expire in a few days, and then she will
be quietly married again to the husband
of her youth She is still a beautiful
woman, and lias three children living
and Mr. Holden has five. Only a few
of their most intimate friends know the
secret of their former marriage.—Grif-

A Loving Mother’d Grief.
TVre is a small family burying
ground that has a beautiful little grave,
that contains a mother's precious little
baby. It would be no difficult task to
locate many little graves of that kind.
But our pen has been chosen to write a
short tribute in memory of a sweet lit
tie baby, that bad just begun to bud in
to all of that sweetness that so deeply
enraptures a mother’s heart.
It was not given for you to see and
know, why your dear sweet baby was
laken away, when the beautiful bud
was promising such a lovely flower.
Had your will aud choice been allowed
to dictate in tbe matter, it might hava
been the cause of far deeoer anguish
than the sorrow that now burdens thy
smitten heart. You iu mind,
fond mother, that our kinct Father is
too wise to err, aud too loving to be
unkind ;it is uot for you to see and
know these things now, but you shall
know at the proper time. It was a
bitter cup, my dear Mary, hut bit ter as
it was, a loving Father saw what was
best'for thee and thy priceless jewel.
If you would have strength to bear up
under the crushing burden, go fall pros
prate under the shadow of the throne,
that knows no sorrow, that is without
balm to heal. Let your trust be more
firmly stayed in God. Your sweet lit
tle boy has been over in the laud he
yond long enough to wing bis (light
around the celestial city, anil he will
be back at the beautiful gate, waiting
aud watching for mother. O mother,
mother, could you bqjj old the beauty
andjglory of the “land beyond” and
witness the joy and happiness of all
those sweet little children that have
gone “over the river,” you would cease
those mouroful wailings, ami raise a
shout of hozanah in the highest to him,
who said, suffer the little children to
come unto me, and forbid them not.
Think not, fotd mother, that your
darling baby is sleeping so coll in its
little grave. Don’t look doWu iu that
cheerless abode for your (hice sweet
baby. He is not there, but look up,
way up yonder out on the celestial
plains, where angelic music is heard,
and don’t call him back holM*'' a with
your bitter wailings. W. T. G.
Tired Brain aud Nerves.
The quickest, safest and sweetest re
lief for the tired brain and nervous sys
tem comes from using Dr. King’s Roy
al Germetner. As a nerve tranquili
zer and tonic, it never has been equall
ed. Dr. I. D. Collins, Goldthwahe,
Tex., says of it: “It is ibe finest nerve
tranquilizer I have ever used.” L. C.
Coulson, Deputy Clerk Circuit court,
Jackson county, Alabama, says: “I
commend it for nervousness above any
thing I have ever tried.” George W.
Armstead, Editor The Issue, Nashville,
Tennessee, says : “It is an invaluable
builder and invigorator of the nerve
forces.” $1 ; 6 for $5.
“If I had as much corn in a barn as
you have got, papa, I’d answer that
prayer myself,” said a little boy to the
stingy father who prayed at the altar
for a man who needed bread. That
hoy had a true idea of prayer that
some old men never get.
What Populists Denounce.
The North Carolina populist plat
form denounces “the McKinley tariff
bill and the pending tariff bill.”
We quote again : “We especially
denounce the pending tariff bill as a
cowardly makeshift-for tariff reform.”
The populists thus “especially de
nounce,”
1. Free cotton bagging.
2. Free cotton ties.
3. Free agricultural implements.
4. Free salt.
5. Reduction of $141,300,000 ou
woolen goods.
6. Cheaper hardware.
7. Cheaper necessaries in all lines.
8. The income tax.
9. The anti-trust law.
That’s the populist platform. It
denounces the McKinley law, but “es
■ pecially denounces” these reforms
which take place of the McKinley
1 law.
Is there au h nest farmer in the state
who can stand on that platform ?

Good Bye Forever.
Two sad words when thus blended.
Good bye forever, Good bye, Good bye
Forever. What is meant by that word
kohevkk ?
i
Does it mean an endless duration ?
A space or period to be measured by
the countless cycles of eternity ?
I have just heard of an old man
whose last words written and addressed
to his friends aud children, were closed
with the sad words, “Good bye forever,
good bye.”* Children, did that beloved
old father of yours have no desire or
expectation of ever seeing you any
more ? Was there uot a single lay of
light to point his faithless heart to the
“land beyond,” where tbe word, forev
er, is never blended with the sad word
“farewell That old man and friend
of whom I am writing, once boarded
here witli me. 11 is mind aud heart had
been schoohd in the hopeless doctrines
of skepticism. He ignored the supreme
existence of a God. Like the fool, he
said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
Where did he ever get the idea of
the term forever, without conceiving
the thought that no such term could
exist unless there were a God ?
“Because judgement is not speedily
executtd against an evil work, there
fore the children of men have fully set
in their hearts to do evil.”
There is no sin that is so offensive iu
the sight of the living God as that of a
poor mortal being, with a heart corrup
ted, and with a polluted tongue, to rise
up and deny the supreme existence of
the Great I Am. It is no marvel to
me, that this poor misguided man was
left in tho midst of gloom, enveloped in
the darkness of Forever. Without a
God to control and direct, forever is a
duration far too long for finite beings
to enter upon. This world furnishes
only a scene of continual change ; from
one stage to another we come and go.
The place we occupy to-day will not
be ours to morrow. Our stay on these
mundane shores is of short duration.
When the time of our departuie comes
let us strive to be able to say to our
loved ones, “Good bye, but not forev
er.” W: T. G.
