AN OLD WAR-TIME LETTER.
Mr. K J. Stewart has in his posses
sion a letter written to his mother in
1862 by the* Into Judge John W. Dowell,
Ch. n n captain in the Confederate
army.) informing her of the death of
her husband. Tno letter, (which, after
the lapse of more than half a century,
is still almost perfectly preserved,) is
as follows-
"Tupelo, Miss., Juno 2<i, 1862.
"Mrs. J. Eindly Stewart: I have de
layed writing you respecting your hus
band’a last illness, because you knew
of his death before I did. In tho for
mation of my company I had no warm
er friend than ho was. and I am happy
to note that our friendly relations con
tinued till sundered hy tho ravages of
the dread monster, f have often had
the solemn duty to perform of writing
wives concerning the death of their
husbands. I assure you none has been
more painful than in writing of yours.
Your husband stood tho unprecedented
exposures through which we had all un
dergone up to a little while before our
army evacuated Corinth. Ho there
acted as postmaster and was excused
from duly in tho time. He was then
a little complainining, tint still per
formed his duties sh post master. A
few days before we left Corinth the
sick and all who were unatile to march
were ordered to the rear. Thm was a
trying time with Kindly. Ho was not
aide to march, and he scorned the idea
of leaving the company when it was
expected that the ureal fight so long
expected at Corinth was about to come
olf. Would to Cod that lie had had less
heroism of soul, and to day ho might
he living and you a happy, devoted wife
instead of a disc mutilate widow. Ho
was with us in the skirmish we were in
on the 28th of May. and waa where the
deadly missiles of the enemy flew thick
est. At one time a fragment of a shell
fell close in front of him and threw dirt
in his face. He liore himself gallantly
in the light, and we had a very futigu
ing and exciting day of it. We were
under tire for about ten hours. It
aet mod to me the longest day I ever
saw. That night we lay upon our arms,
and the next night we took up the line
of march from Corinth, and marched
all night. It was very hot and dusty.
He came very near giving out several
times, hut bore up like a hero during
three days and nights until we arrived
at Huldwyn. Here he was taken sick,
and when the sick were ser t from there
he went tn Columbus. I saw he was
very sick, hut hoped it was mostly from
fatigue. You know the rest. 1 heard
on the same day of his death thHt
you were on your way to see him. 1
felt fur the loving wife who was in
searcli of a dear, absent, sick husband,
and who found instead a newly-made
grave. Your feelings must be felt to
lie realized. They are beyond the power
of description. Lot mo point you to the
Judge of righteousness for consolation.
It is easy to reason ourselves into say
ing that we ought not to take these af
flictions too much to heart; but, 0 how
hard it is to teach the heart not to feel!
Al hough 1 Hin not personally ac
quainted with you, yet you are not
unknown to ni». Ily tho kind partiali
ty of Kindly 1 took great pleasure in
reading some of your letters to him,
I know you profess great affection for
your husband, and 1 boar witness that
in my opinion no wife over had u fon
der, more devoted husband than you.
Though I bolieve he was not a pro
fessed Christian, yet 1 have hopes at
some time during his illness he had a
preparation of heart which fitted him
for a better world. He sometimes, af
ter reading your heart-breathing pray
ers for his safety and preservation,
would say to me he believ.d his wife
was a Christian; that ho knew he was
wicked, but that lie felt very much
like leading a new life. I hope and
trust that as he had to go so soon his
spirit is in the land of peace and quiet.
A nobler, braver, more gallant spirit
never lived. He has gone the way of
all the earth. Peace to his ashes.
"The Government is indebted to him
from the first of May until he died. I
would suy, fix up his papers and send
them to me. that I may draw it and
si nil to you; but the authorities here
refuse to pay over money for deceased
soldiers, saving' that it n list he paid in

nothing when the authorities are
against me. '

Obligation of Debtors to Creditors.
Oirl**lhnrpp Fcho.
With tho fairly good crops that are
maturing and the promise of at least
much better prices for cotton Hum
were received for the crop of last year,
coupl’ d with the further fact that this
crop has been made at exceptionally
low expense, it naturally follows that
farmers will be in good shape to meet
their obligations this fall; not only
those carried over from last year, hut
those made this year.
This condition of the farmers will
bring like advantages to those engaged
in other lines of industry of that class
compelled hy the depression of last fall
to obtain extension of credit or to as
sume otiliga' ions to cur'y them through
this year.
Under such conditions it behooves the
debtor class to fully recognize the obli
gations they are under to the creditor
class, Bnd to meet those obligations
with all possible promptness and ful
ness.
Few of the general debtor class fully
realize to what straits the creditor class
have had to go to accommodate them.
Possibly the conditions that were
brought on hy the war laHt fall had u
more direct and direful effect upon the
latter class than the former. All the
uffairH of the business and financial
world were thrown into such a chaotic
state it took different and far more
than the usual methods and efforts by
those engaged in business pursuits to
stay the effects of tho stringency in
money matters. This forced practically
everybody engaged in business to make
extraordinary arrangements to protect
their business interests, and these ar
rangements, in nearly all cases, entailed
heavy expense.
Yet the business men of the country
realized the importance of taking care
of their debtors by extending credit
and hy not demanding payment of ac
counts; and they did it. To do so they
had to ussumo obligations which in
most cases entailed heavier expense
upon them than otherwise would have
been the case. These obligations are
now falling due, and they must be met
promptly or those who have assumed
them will he put to still further ex
pense.
Tin so fucts should he appreciated by
the debtor class. They should also ap
preciate the fact that the creditor class
have put themselves to no Hmall incon
venience and expense to carry over ob
ligations of last year and extend further
credit this year. And, realizing these
facts, the debtor class, now that condi
tions bid fair to enable them to do so,
should meet their obligations with the
least possible delay, and to the fullest
extent possible.
Had the business cIiihs not put forth
such efforts to carry over accounts and
extend them there wojjld have been no
s nail amount of privation, and possibly
suffering, throughout the country. Sure
ly the elforts that tho business men put
forlli to avert such conditions should be
appreciated from a moral as well as
from a financial standpoint.
This appreciation should be fully
shown hy the debtor cluss hy meeting
with all promptness, and as fully as
they can, every obligation that is upon
them.
Let them do this and wo will far
more quickly get over the effects of the
depression through which we have all
had to struggle during the past year,
and prosperity will again bless us, sea
soned with that best of all sauces—a
clear conscience.
The Failures in the City.
1 know the road of the farmer boy is
rough and hard —but it's the road that
mukes big, fearless, robust, manly
men! Back yonder in those harsh days
I, too, longed for the city just as per-
chunce you are longing for it to-day,
hut 1 understand a lot of things now
that 1 didn't understand then. Viewed
from u distance the bright lights look
enchanting enough—but, cnee familiar-
ized with them, the enchantment soon
dies away. Cities annuully kill thous
ands of boys and girls, while the coun
try builds them into splendid men and
women and paints upon their cheeks the
roae-hued flush of health. To-day
every city in the land is crowded with
erstwhile furmer boys whose muscle
and vitality is being fed into the maws
of its giant industries— farmer boys
who stoke its fiery furnaces, who run
its heartless machinery, its street cars,
or who perch upon high chairs up in
some tall skyscraper, and who, when
the day’s weary grind is at an end. be
take themselves to some dark, cramped
tenement abode where vile smells and
poverty are familiar combinations—boys
who have learned that bright lights and
the music are only for those who have
idle time and the money to pay for
them.
E. G. Hudson's Statement.
E. G. Hudson, Chamblee, Ga., writes:
"Last year 1 bought and tried Foley's
Cathartic Tablets. I have»tried many
cathartics, but for a thorough cleans
ing movement of the bowels, without
the slightest inconvenience or sickness,
l believe the Foley Cathartic Tablet the
best on earth. It’s the perfect cathar
tic. with no bad effects.'' Everybody
suffers occasionally from indigestion or
constipation, so Mr. Hudson's experi
ence is worth remembering. Stout per
sons say these tablets relieve that
"heavy" feeling. .1. F. L-e D ug Co.

Sectionalism.
Nnr York Commercial.
Condemnation of mob violence in
Georgia is degenerating into rank
and indiscriminating abuse. Generally
speaking the newspapersof the country,
including those published in the South
ern States, have dealt with the Frank
caHe in a judicial way, as was proper.
A few persist in libeling the whole
South, as if one-third of ihe population
of the United States had taken part in
committing the outrage. The civilized
world atood aghast with horror when
Prussian militarism destroyed Louvain
and massacred non combatants be
cause Bomeone fired a shot at a Ger
man trooper. Similar "Prussianism"
inspires those newspapers which attack
the whole South because a crime was
committed that remains unpunished.
Journalism recognizes certain ethical
rules that govern criticism, and apply it
to all that is spoken, written or printed.
In dramatic art, forinstance, it is legit
imate to portray a priest or a Boldier
as a villain, but he mu.st not stand as
the prototype of his profession, and no
inference must be raised that all priests
or soldiers are villains. Neither must
a crooked Yankee be used to represent
the average New Englander. Whole
races, nations and creeds have been at
tacked in this way since the beginning
of history, so the sin is not new, but
the world has outgrown it, and its re
crudescence in certain newspapers is in
excusable.
Sectionalism has always been the
weakness of the United States, but it
is gradually dying out. It has cost us
enough already, and only an enemy of
this country would seek to revive it.
Too much "hyphenism" has cropped out
on account of the war in Europe, but
it is aa nothing when compared with
sectionalism that treats whole States
as pariahs. In our great cities not one
murderer in ten is punished, and crim
inals are protected from prosecution by
the cowardice of those who know them;
but these cities are not given over to
lawlessness and murder, and the vaat
majority of their citizens are now
courageous and law-abiding. Within a
week three startling murders have
been committed not far from New
York that, bear all the evidence of pre
meditation and of the participation of
several persons, but these cases do not
prove that the Eastern States are
given over to organized hands of as
sassins with the consent of the peo
ple, any more than that the whole
South is guilty. If the authorities in
Georgia have failed to secure proofs in
the Frank case the police of New York
city have also failed in dozens of mur
der cases when a neighborhood of for
eigners was terrorized. Only when
the people trust the officers of the law
and the courts, and feel that justice
will he speedy and protection sure, will
these evils be abated. This country
needs reform along these lines, hut re
form will never come from sectionalism.
None Equal to Chamberlain's.
"I have tried most all of the cough
cures and find that there is none equal to
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has
never failed to give me prompt relief,"
writes W. V. Hamer, Montpelier, Ind.
When you have a cold give this remedy

splendid medicine it is. Obtainable

Mrs. Enderly, wife of Judge Enderly^
of a small Missouri town, complained
one day that she had accidentally swal
lowed a button which she was holding
in her mouth preparatory to attaching
it to some garment.
As the lady was rather given to
making great ado over trivial mishaps,
and as the Judge was much preoccu
pied, he did not pay much heed. Soon
after, however, finding her in tears, he
made kindly inquiry as to their cause.
"It’s your heartless in-indifference
to anything that h-happens to me,"
sobbed the aggrieved little woman.
"I didn’t suppose you'd w-worry much
because I swallowed a button, but I
d-did think you might have taken
enough interest in it to inquire w-what
kind of b-button it was."
Biliousness and Constipation.
It is certainly surprising that any wo
man will endure the miserable feelings
caused by biliousness and constipation,
when relief is so easily had and at so
little expense. Mrs. Chas. Peck, Gates,
N. Y., writes: "About a year ago I
used two bottles of Chamberlain’s Tab
lets and they cured me of biliousness
and constipation." Obtainable every
where.
Twj hoboes crawled from the boxcar
where they had been sleeping and
started to go over the handout route
of the adjacent town.
"Say, Winston,” remarked one of
the precious pair, breaking the silence,
"was you ever a married man?"
"Why, no, Mortimer," responded the
other with an expression of great sur-
srise. "What makes you ask such a
remarkable question?”
"Because,” was the njjindor, "you 1
always sleep with your hands in your
pockets."
To the Public.
"1 feel that I owe the manufacturers
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy a word of graiitude,"
writes Mrs. T. N. Witherall, Gowanda,
N. Y. "When 1 began taking this
medicine 1 whs in great pain ard feel
ing terribly sick, due to an attack of
summer complaint. After taking a
.dose of it I had not long to wait for rt-
1 lief, as it benefited me almost immedi
ately." Obtainable everywhere.

Pay Up and Trade at Home.
Brunswick Banner.
Did you ever stop to think how many
debts one dollar would pay if it was judi
ciously used, instead of thrown away for
a needless something, or an attractive
“bargain for cash” in a mail order
catalogue? Just start every dollar you
have received on pay day through the
rounds by paying up your grooer, the
house-rent man, the doctor, the drug
gist, and others. If you cannot pay ail
of the so-called "incidental bills, ” pay
as much as you can, taking care of the
set expenditures, and saving for emer
gencies. If you cannot do this, you are
living beyond your means and will soon
have poor credit, and face trouble and
possible want.
It is so easy to spend money for
things that you could do without, until
you find that your roll has thinned
down to where your legitimate bills
have to I e neglected. Every month
make out a schedule of payments to be
made, and make them. It is a peculiar
thing, but nevertheless true, that a
man's ability to pay his honest debts is
often merely a matter of disposition,
not the size of the salary; for some of
the poorest paid men have reputations
for paying their bills that those with
larger salaries would envy, yet could
easily have if they would.
Above all, in these strenuous times,
keep your money in circulation at home.
The dollar you pay to your creditor
here goes straight to a creditor of his,
and so on, until it finally comes back to
you, after having changed hands prob
ably a hundred times in its month’s
work. The dollar sent away nine hun
dred and ninety-nine times out of a
thousand remains away forever. It
is lost to the total wealth of your com
munity, and you have made your town
that much poorer than it would have
been had you spent it here.
Pay up, and trade at home.

TENNESSEE OFFICIAL
WINS LONG FIGHT
J. W. Seaton of Linden, Clerk of
the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Ju
dicial District of Tennessee, was for
years a sufferer from stomach troubles
’—in part a result of his confining
work. He tried doctor after doctor.
He tried medicines without end.
One day he took a dose of Mayr’s
Wonderful Remedy. He wrote:
“Your medicine is the best in the
world for any form of stomach trouble.
I am glad to say that after taking the
full treatment I feel that I am well.
“I had very severe pains in my stom
ach all the time. One bottle of your
medicine did me ten times as much
good as all the doctors’ medicine that
I took for two years. My family phy
sician told me that I would never be
any better—today I am well. I have
gained twenty-five pounds.’’ *
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one |
bottle of your druggist now and try it
on an absolute guarantee—if not satis
factory money will be returned.
