Dixie® Immortal Dead
Recumbent Figure of EobsrtE.lee, Lexington,Va.
V'TjZ THAT deeds were theirs, the soldier dead
Braf Of Dixie, what heroic deeds
w ▼ Upon a thousand battle meads
That quaked beneath their martial tread!
What hearts were theirs, what hearts of hope
That urged them on to doom’s eclipse—
To lie with cold and bloodless lips
On sodden plain or purple slope!
What valor theirs, and all for naught!
What knightly, high devoted souls
Upbore them bravely toward the goals
Where only wreck at last was wrought!
Call Lee’s battalions back today,
Their whited phantoms from the past,
And mark the eager heroes massed
And marshaled into lines of gray!
And, hark! Along the moving lines,
The stoutest foeman to appall,
The “rebel yell,” the southland’s call,
Is thrilling through the aisles of pines!
They ride, as oft they rode in pride,
With Stonewall Jackson in the van.
And here, behold, is Stuart's clan,
And yonder Forrest’s rangers ride!
They charge, as once they charged in vain
When peerless Pickett flamed and flashed
Against the heights where cannon crashed
And rifles poured a leaden rain!
Attack! Recoil! Advance! Retreat!
And forward to the fierce assault!
Four years of hell and not a halt—
Four years, and then—defeat, defeat!
Yea, let their ghosts in eerie gray
Stand guard o’er Dixie’s broad expanse,
And let the order be “Advance!”
Deny them not this boon today.
For Northron knows, as Southron knew,
That never war’s demoniac breath
Hath smitten with immortal death
Men’s hearts more valorously true.

Kill or Cure.
A doctor was employed by a
poor man to attend his wife who
was dangerously ill. The doctor
gave a hint that he had fears of
not being paid.
“1 have live dollars,” said the
man to the doctor, “and if you
kill or cure, youshail have them.”
The woman died while in the
doctor’s hands, and after a reason¬
able time he called for his five dol¬
lars.
The man asked the doctor “if
he killed his wife?”
“No.”
“Did you cure?”
“No.”
“Then,” said the poor man,
“you have no legal demand.”
A Grand Family Medicine.
“It gives me pleasure to speak a
good word for Electric Bitters,”
writes Mr. Frank Conlan of No. 436
Houston St., New York. “It’s a
grand family medicine for dyspepia
and liver complications; while for
lame back and weak kidneys it can¬
not be too highly recommended.”
Electric Bitters regulate the diges¬
tive functions, purify the blood, and
impart renewed vigor and vitality to
the weak and debilitated of both sex¬
es. Sold under guarantee at Hill &
King’s drug store, 50c.
