A PRETTY IMXMAKCK.
A Sister of President Miicolii'h
Wife u Postmistress.
Over the heads cl the politic
ianH President Cleveland a few
months ago appointed Gen. E.
Kirby Smith’s daughter post
master at Huwanee, Tenti., and
he may do the same in the reap
pointment of Mr*, lien Hardin
Helm at Elizabethtown, Ky.,as to
which there is a very pretty but
true romance.
Mrs. Helm is the youngest sis
ter of Abraham Lincoln’s wife.and
was greatly beloved by the rail
splittor from Kentucky. In 1801,
Ben Hardin Helm was a full
fledged graduate of West Point,
where he ranked very high. He
came of a family illustrious in the
political and railroad history of
Kentucky, and was born only a
short distance from tho log cabin
where Abraham Lincoln first saw
this world, in which, he was to
play such a distinguished but
melancholy part. Hen Hardin
married Miss Tod. Abraham Lin
coln years before having married
Miss Mary Tod, the eldest sister,
and related to tho Tod’s in Geor
gia and South Carolina,her broth
er having been surgeon of a South
Carolina regiment during tho late
war.
Mr. Lincoln used all his won
derful powers to attach his broth
er-in-law to tho union .side, and
while ho was working on liim,
Gen. Longstreet's resignation
reached Washington. Longstroet
had reached the full rank of ma
jor in the United States regulars,
and shortly after Georgia seceded
he resigned liiscommission in tho
Union army and follow td his un
cle, Judge A. B. Longstroet, of
Coltimhus, (la., in espousal of tho
southern side. President Lincoln
at once (endured Longstreet’H
commission as major and pay
master in the old army to Ben
Hardin ilelm, end urged his ao
oeptnoce, promising to attach
him to the diplomatic corpß
abroad. Such was his love for
Helm, if ho couldn’t enlist him
actively in the union cause, Liu
oo'iti wanted to send him abroad,
so that they need not he in hos
tile forces. Lieut. Helm came to
Kentucky, raised a brigade and
went to tho front.
The sceuo shifts to 18(ilt, and
Longstroet and Helm are side by
side at Gliickamauga, one a lieu
touaut-geueral and tho other
brigadier in the confederate
army, one had resigned bis com
mission as major iu the old army,
which had been tendered the oth
er by Lincoln and refused. They
wont forward in the charge on
Rosecrnus, and Helm falls dead
not far from Longstroet.
The scene shifts again now to
1881, Abraham Lincoln’s son,
Robt. Tod Liticolu, is a Republi
can chieftaiu and socrotrry of
war in Garfield’s cabinet, and
hearing that Gen, Bon Hardin
Helm's widow needs help, be
goes to the president amt urges
fhe,appointment of his aunt ns
postmaster of Elizabethtown.
To the suggestion that she is tho
widow of a Demoorat and "rebel
brigadier’’ Lincoln pays no hoed,
and at bis earnest request she is
appointed, was rotaiued by Ar
thur, re-appointed by Cleveland
iu 1885, continued in office by
Harrison, ami her term lias just
expired when the politicians want
the job for a “hustler," thinking
fourteen years in office long
enough.—Atlanta Journal.

The State Commander writes
us from Lincolu, Neb., as follows:
"After trying other medioinef for
wliat seemed to boa very obsti
nate cough in our two children
we tried Dr. King’s New Discov
ery and at the end of two days
the cough entirely left them. We
will not be without it hereafter,

cures where all other remedies
fail.”-Sigued F.W.Stepheus.State

Treated Him Coldly.
“I had gone to bed at an earlv 1
hour, worn ont with a heavy
day’s work in court,” says a wri
ter in the Indianapolis Hentinel.
"How long I had been sleeping j
! I will never know. I odlv re
member that I awoke from a
horrible nightmare in which the
Chinese hell of ice and frost fig
ured to a large extent. I was
flat on my back, without a stitch
of bedclothing on me, and shiv
ering like an aspen leaf. That
was the night when the mercury
tried to get out of the bottom of
the thermometer. There was no
fire in mv room. I snrang out of
bed and lighted the gas. I could
not think that the burglar had
even been born who would be so
mean as to steal the clothes off a
man’s bed on such a night as that
so I just stood for a moment and
considered. I didn’t consider
very long, for my night shirt
was not so awful thick, and us
you can see, I am about as fat as
'the lean and hungry Cassius.’
I made a bolt for my wife’s room,
adjoining mine, where there was
afire. She had one gas jet dimly
burning, and by its light I saw
that she was asleep with the two
little ones at her side. I took an
other look. There she reclined
in peaceful slumber under, not
only the bedclothes which be
longed on tier bed, but every
comfort aDd blanket which she
ban taken from me. It is a fact—
that good little wife had arisen
in her sleep, and sound asleep
had, come to my room and
removed all the clothes from my
bed and innocently left me to
freeze or keep life in my body by
walking the floor all might. 1
gently placed my hand on her
forehead and she opened her
eyes. 1 didn’t scold, 1 simply
said: “Mal tha, if it would not be
asking too much, 1 would con
sider it a great favor if you would
give me just one pour sheet from
all the clothes you Imve taken
from me. That would beat noth
ing by very much of a darned
sight. Say, will you give me one
sheet?”
“It didn’t take long to make
her understand wliat she had done
and she actually cried, and said
that she feared she had given me
my death. Well, 1 secured my
bedclothes and finally thawed out
aud went to sleep. Since that
night, if you waut to mako my
wife real angry, just start a dis
cussion of somnambulism in her
presence,”
To the Ladies.
There are thousands of ladies
throughout the country whose
systems are poisoned, and whose
blood is in an impure condition
from the absorption of impure
mattei, due to meustrnal irregu
larities. This class are peculiar
ly benefited by the wonderful
tonio and blood-cleansing prop
erties of P. P. P. Roses and
bouudiug health take the place of
the sickly look, the lost color and
the general wreck of the system
by the use of P. P. P., as hosts of
females will testify, and many
certificates in possession of the
Company which they have prom
ised not to publisb, and all prove
P. P. P. a blessing to womankind.

To all whom it may concern: -
I take great pleasure in teslityiug
to the efficient qualities of the
popular remedy for eruptions of
the skin known as P. P. P. I
suffered several years with un
sightly and disagreeable erup
tion on my face, and tried vari
| ous remedies to remove it, none
of which accomplished the ob-
I joct, until this valuably prepara-
I tion was resorted to. After tak-
I iug three bottles, in accordance
; with directions. I am now entire
ly cured.

WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER.-FEBRUARY It. 1895.
Dr, Parkhurst to Women,
I)r. Parkhurst starts oat as a
waiter for women iu the Februa
ry Ladies’ Home Journal in away
that prom isos to bo most inter
esting. His vigorous style is in
his work, and bis direct way of
putting truths leaves no room for
misinterpreting his ideas a'*out
women. For his first article he
coins a new wofd, “Andromani
acs,” by which he designates the
type of woman who wants to be
mannish and apes the ways of
men. That he is not in sympa
thy with them is evident, and his
promise of discussing the women
who want to vote, who want to
preach and who desire to be in
business in his future Journal ar
ticles gives further evidence of
his deep interest in humanity.
While Dr. Parkhurst is the fea
ture of this number of the Jour
nal, Reginald de Koven, the com
poser of “Robin Hood,” is prom
iuent with his new song, “Roses
of Love,” of which the fuli music
is given. Arthur Warren is like
wise excellent iu an interesting
and beautifully-illustrated article
on Queen Marguerite, of Italy,
which shows this favorite Queen
at close range in her home life.
John Kendrick Bangs is very
funny in his “Paradise Club,”
while another humorist, Robt. J.
Burdette, departs from the hu
morous and tells the tender loye
story of his wife and himself iu
“The Woman Who Most Influ
enced Me." Mr. Howells takes
up Zola and the French school
in his literary autobiography, and
Thomas a’Beckut is exceedingly
practical and helpful in his aiti
ole on “The Correct Way to play
a Piano.” The famous and fun |
ny “Brownies” are on a lark on a j
raft this time. A beautiful page
of Empire embroidery is given,
and will be timely in this wave o
Napoleonic interest. The cover
of the Journal this month is also
Empire, showing a striking “girl
of the Directoire,” by Alice Bar
her Stephens, and altogether it is
a uuml jor which does credit even
to The Ladies’ Home Journal,and
is certainly worth its nominal
price of ten cents.

“This spring one year ago mv
health was considerably run
down. I suffered from sleepless
ness and loss of appetite. At the
suggestion of Rev. Sam P. Jones,
I began the use of King's Royal
Geriuotuer, aud after taking sev
eral bottles I built up in every re
spect, which enabled me to work
hard through the hot season with
the strength and vigor one has iu
winter. I consider it a splendid
tonic. My catarrhal trouble has
been greatly helped and I Lave
been benefitted in many other
particulars.” F. B. Ramsey.

Another important railroad ex
hibit has been added to the im
portant list of tho Cotton States
and International Exposition.
Messrs. C. L. Stone, General
Passenger Agent of the Chicago
& East Illinois Railroad, and J.
B. Cavanaugh, General Passen
ger Agent of the Evansville &
Terre Haute Railroad, visited At
lanta during the past week and
called on President Collier to ar
range for a joint exhibit of these
lines at the Exposition. It will
be remembered that Messrs,
Stone and Cavanaugh arranged
the schedule for the Chicago Her
ald’s fast train, which broke the
record between Chicago and At
lanta a mouth ago. making the
trip at an average of about fifty
miles an hour. These railroads
take a lively interest in the Ex
position, and will advertise it in
their own folders and other liter
ature.
A young man in Lowell, Mass.,
i troubled for years with a con
stant succession of boils on his
neck, was completely cured by
taking only three bottles of Ay
ers Sarsaparilla. Another result
of the treatment was greatly im

avoirdnpois.
W. C. Sampler of Rome, the
man against, v. bom a terrible
charge was made Tuesday, was
given a preliminary trial Thurs
day aft* rnoou iu the city court
room before Squire Lumpkin.
The prosecution ouly introduced
the little girl who testified that
the charge was true. Dr. Hoyt,
Dr. McCall an 1 Dr. II irris testi
fied that it could not be true, aud
other testimony was giveu for the
defense >u the line of Mrs. Sam
pler’s jealousy. After hearing
the evidence Judge Lumpkin dis
missed the warrant.
