THE PROPER SENTIMENT.
The following is the address of
President McKinley before the
Georgia legislature Wednesday :
“Sectional lines no longer mar the
map of the United States. Sectional
feeling no longer holds back the love
we bear each other. Fraternity is the
national anthem, sung by a chorus of
forty-five states and our territories at
home and beyond vhe seas The union
is once more the common altar of our
love and loyalty, our devotion and
sacrifice. The old flag again waves
over us m peace with .new glories,
which your sons and ours have this
year added to its sacred folds. What
cause we have for reioicing, saddened
only by the fact that so many of our
brave men fell on field or sickened and
died from hardship and exposure, and
others returning bring wounds and
disease from which they will long suf
fer. The memory of the dead will be
a precious legacy, and the disabled will
be the nation’s care.
“A nation which cares for its disabled
soldiers, as we*.have always done, will
never lack defenders. The national
cemeteries for those who fell in battle
are proof that the dead as well as the
living have our love. What an army
of silent sentinels we have, and with
what loving care their graves are kept!
Every soldier’s grave made during our

Been Completely Cured by Hood’s

“I was troubled with a pain in my
stomach after meals and a constant ach

head. I took medicines but without
benefit. Seeing so many. testimonials in
regard to Hood’s Sarsaparilla I was in
duced to try it. I had taken it only a
short time when I felt a change. I can
now cat a hearty meal without suffering
distress, my joints are free from pain and
I weigh more than I have for eight years.”
