There are no fortunes to be gained.

that rises in the heart of him who
knows he has a part in those

“I say to yon that there are re¬

the virture of loley’s Kidney
Cure, they need only to refer to
Mr Alvin H. Stimpson of Will
mantic, Conn., who, after almost
losing hope of Recovery on ac
count of the failure of ss many
remulies, finally tried Foley’s
Kidney Cure, which he says was
“just the thing” for him, as four
bottles cured him completely. He
is now entirely well and free from

Wife of President McKinley
Died at Her Home in Ohio.
The death of Mrs. William Mc¬
Kinley, wife of late President Mc¬
Kinley, which occurred at Canton,
on Sunday last will touch a very
tender chord of feeling and regret
in every American heart. No
woman has ever occupied a warm
ei place in the affection and veuer
ation of our people. The unspeak¬
able sorrow of her life admitted her
into the most holy places of the
smetuary of a nation’s sympathy.
Her life, associated with that of
her iilustrious husband, will ever
be enshrined in the most hallowed
memory of her country. The ideal
charm and the beauty of that
married life cannot beeffaced from
our admiration. ■< The spotless love
and undying ohivalxy of William
^Kinley, and tbeeweet, pathetic
devotion of that noble have
passed into the most sacred tradi¬
tions of American domestic life.
A new story and sancity must ever¬
more attach t o that revered
white house, since William Mc¬
Kinley and the wife who was the
idol of his heart, the joy ot his
eyes and the inspiration of his life
made that mansion his home.

Pension The Old Soldiers.
Editor Enterprise ; Your edito¬
rial of the J 7 th, under head of
“Amend Our Pension Laws,”
speaks my sentiments and what I
have been using my weak influ¬
ence at for the past fifteen years.
I11 my 25 years of writing for
the press I have seldom taken is¬
sues for or against an editorial,
but your editorial does me so much
good in meeting my approval I de¬
sire to thank you for it and to add
a few words. I want it understood
that I was a mere child when the
war ended my father was a cripp'ed
man and was exempt trom milita¬
ry duties, therefore my precious
old mother Pan not be in the least
benefitted by any amendments in
the present pension laws; and last,
but not least, I am not an office
seeker—do not want any office in
the gift of man from coroner to
president. I only want the good
will of the old soldiers, their sons
and the rest of mankind. Well
do I remember seeing them come
home ragged, foot-sore, the very
pangs of hunger depicted in their
faces, and finding ruin and de¬
struction at home, The four
years they had spent in defending
our rights was a blank as though
they had not lived them. They
had faced the gal ting fire of for-

myself that everything is fair in
war until I i>ad the “Immortal
Six Hundred,” then I learned
something ot the principle of a
yauken.
No one except God and the old
soldier himself knows what be had
to contend with, and when he dies
without the State of Georgia re¬
warding him for his struggles in
in the “lost cause” it is a burning
shame on the state and the men
who make her laws. I never ex¬
pect to get so far from home that I
will he afraid to say the cause for
which they bled and died was right,
and I hope the prayers of the good
people ot Georgia will go up that
the next legislature will see fit to
reward them for it.
The State has provided ■> a home
for some apd a F** 1 -* pension
some, which is well enough as far
as it goes, but I want to see them
all pensioned. If he is a million
aire give it to him, and if he is a
pauper give it to him if it bank
rupts the State of Georgia. He
has won it, deserves it, and ought
to have it. Some can go to the
pauper’s home, some can live
among their children, and sore
can go to the Masonic home, but
give them all a peneion and let
them go where they please. By
reason of age and infirmities their
ranks are growing thin and they
will not be here much lunger for
us to honor. While we have them
among us lei us prove our appre¬
ciation of their heroism by lending
a helping hand in their old age.
My intellectual powers are as
weak, compared to some men, as a
candle to the noonday sun, hut
this is the way I look at it. Flor¬
ida has pensioned all of her old
soldiers and Georgia can do it
she will. Sam Snip.
Judge Uses Forceful Language.
Judge W. B. Simmons, of Fin
castle, Ya., told the reporter that
L. & M. Paint was used on his
residence in 1882 , and held its
color well for 21 years; he further¬
more said that fj years ago he was
induced to use another paint and
is sorry he did, because the other
paint didn’t make good. The
Judge will now use L & M., be¬
cause he knows if any defectexists
in L. & M. Paint the house will
be repainted for nothing.
The L. & M. Zinc hardens the
L. A M. White Lead and makes
L. & M. Paint wear l’ke iron
