"While Grant was cutting and selling cordwood, and Sherman, was teaching school, there was a mau in Memphis who vas having no preparation whatever for war, and yet who was destined to make no end of trouble for those able soldiers/' writes John Gil mer Speed in the Saturday Evening Post. "This was General N. B.j Forrest, whose life by Dr. J. A.t Wyeth has recently been issued. Forrest was an uneducated maD and' belonged to that prescribed class iu the South known as 'poor whites.' Moreover, he was still further handicapped in any efforts to sta^d on equality with men oT position by having been a slave trader. But by native force and by a genius .for nct'^n this unlettered man became the most successful cavalry leader iu the South. "He enlisted as a private, but before he really went iuto action had been made lieutenant colonel. . In this capacity he proved that he could move men through the country with a celerity mosi remarkable. He knew nothing whatever about the principles of war, and probably never read a book on the subject in his life. It is unlikely indeed, that he ever read many books of any kind He ?vas essentially a man of action, aud for more thau three and a half years hs kept the Federal commanders guessing as to whai he was going to do next. "Toward the close of the wai Forrest's wonderful capacity wat appreciated in Richmond, and he was made a lieutenant general and putin command of all the cavalry west of the Mississippi. It was toe- j late, however, for him to do much Hood's army had been all bu:j destroyed before Nashville,! Sherman was marching through, Georgia and General James H. Wilson was after Forrest with the strongest cavalry command ever placed in the saddle. He defeated Forrest at Selma-the first time, by'the way, Forrest had ever been completely beaten-ano shortly afterward the war ended." Newspaper Borrowing*. Here is the latest story of the man who is too stingy to take hit home paper : "A man who was too economi cal to take this paper sent his lit tle boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of beep, and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to hi assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that, breaking it down, cutting a hand ful of flesh from his anatomy, and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, and got into the cornfield, and killed herself eat ing green corn. Hearing the rack et, the wife ran out, upsut a 4-gal lon.churn full of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. In the hurry, she dropped a $7 set of false teeth The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled milk and int the parlor, ruining a brand new $20 carpet. During the excite ment the oldf st daughter ran away with the hired man ; the dog broke up eleven setting hens, and the calv s got OUT. and chewed the tails off 'our fine shirts." Th* Rev. A. B. Church, pastor of the Universal ist church at Akron, Ohio, has taker a stand for reform in funeral *. He advo cates doing away with coffins and interring the dead wrapped only in shrouds. His reason is that caskets prolong decomposition, resulting iu. the escape of gases which rise above the earth, con taminating the atmosphere to the danger of health, especially in populous communities. He would also do away with hearses and funeral cars, aud have bodies carried to the cemeteries without ostentatious strept display, thus reducing funeral ?xpenses to a minimum.

House on the 14tb, Mr. Cowherd, of Missouri, iu' a speech on ho Philippine question, said the advocates of imperialism were actuated by two motives militarism and commercial greed. He denied that Jefferson was the father of expansion, quoting ex tensively from JeffersonV writings to show that Jefferson's motive in securing the annexation of Louisiania was to.avoid embroiling! the country in foreign wars in the future. Jeffeiso i, he said, desired to insure peace; modem ex pansionists courted foreign com plication?. '.Mr Chairman," concluded Mr Cowherd, "there was a time when we boasted not of the money we could make; not that yonder flag carried trade in its wake, but that it carried liberty. To-day .its pround boast is that trade follws the flag. "Mr Chairman. I hope the day will never come when any man can rise in any laud and point to yonder bau uer as a commercial asset. (Applause.) I trust, sir, that something still will survive of the days when that banner float ed over Washington aud his baretooted, bloody patriots at Valley Forge; I trust something will live of the spirit that animated them who upheld that banuer wheu they stood with stubborn old Andrew Jackson at New Or leans; I trust something of the life of liberty still permeates this nation that permeated the fol lowers of yonder flag when they marched with Granton his stub born advance to Richmond. "And, Mr Chairman, if the day ever comes when that banner is nothing but a commercial asset; then, sir, every siripe of white upon its folds should be dyed in the blcod of the men wekilled and con quered, and J rom yonder ground bf blue yon sb'oud take t bercj star that represents an independent S^ate."

The two most absent minded men on record are the fellow who thought he had left his watch at home, and then took: it out to see if he had time to go back and get it ; and the man who put on his office door a card saying: "Out will be back soon," and on his re turn, sat down on a stair step to wait for himself. Since Mr. Rockefeller's share of the Standard Oil company .dividends gives him an income of $32,000,000 a year from that source alone, Mr. Carnegie's statement that the oil .king is the richest man in the world still holds good despite the remark of Mr. Frick which credits the iron king with only $24,500,000 a year.

A Southern Society Man. In Senator A. J. Beveridge^ brilliant article, "With Our Fight ers iu the Phillippioep," in this week's issue of The Saturday Evening I'ost, are njauy good ?tones. Here is one of them : "The second time I was at the extreme front in Luzou I met a young men who in of one the first families of the South. He is tveafhy, highly accomplished and what is known as a 'society man.' All thur, is charming or delightful iu American lile is his. You would not imagine that this low spoken, rich-voiced, quiet-man sered, gentleman, with a?l the ?baractnristiciJ of the ullra-fasb ionableAmerican swell, could le nduced to fight in the deadly cop ies t of arms. Yet he had lef all lie allurements with which life md fortune and his own talents iad surrounded him, and enlisted LS a private soldier in Cuba. The e ie bad risen, by cool gallantry, to he position of a commissioned of icer. He had won hie promotion ibsoiutely without influence and ?olely by hie courage and soldier y qualities. "He had been in every fight up o the capitulation of Santiago. The fever had seized him and his ?ealth had been impired. One night have imagined that his de lire for army experience would lave been satiated ; but instead of ? atisfying the thirst for war, the 1 ?ardships and dangers of the Cu >an campaign only put a keener ' dge on it. So he traveled half ray around the world, and here I ound him in tho interior of Lu- j on, not a member of the army, i mt, nevertheless, wearing a khaki f miform and seeking further op- . )ortunities to fight. Nor would ie wait until the regular engsge nents came on. I saw him up at (( ?o'clock in the morning, mount- t ng his horse with a small scout- 1 ng party, going on one of those lesperate reconnolssances which, o the mere observer, look like ex >editions to certain death. On i me occasion he and two compan ons charged a group of 60 Filii- j )ino soldiers, and he himself cap ured four of them. I saw him he evening of the day on which he exploit was performed. He , lad already forgotten it and was ' Dosing around' for some further Ldventure." , CITATION. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF ?DGEFIELD. In the Probate Court. ? ty J. D.

EMERSON, Traffic Manager, The experiments of modem phy sicians and scientists have established the fact that many of the germs of disease enter the body hy the inhalation of air laden with bacteria or microbes. These germs are very small but their work is deadly. Still many of them are comparatively harmless in health ; but as Boon as an organ is diseased it is attacked. The experimets of Koch and others have shed much light upon this important subject But up to the present time the culture of bacteria appears to have met with much better success than thei.* destruction. As we can do so little to destroy these minute enemies, is not the most sensible course to strengthen and revitalize the system so that it may repel and resipt their destructive in fluence, and does it not seem very fitting that the revitalizing element Bhould enter the body through inha.:i:tiou of oxgen which is at ?nee a revitalizer and germicide? The experience of years and the testimony of thousands show Compound Oxygeu to be the agent ueeded. If 3'ou wish further information write us and we will send you, free of charge abundant evidence.
