A Soldier's Escape. Democrat-Message Mt Sterling. 111. v; When Richmond had fallen end the great commanders bad me t beneath the historic apple tree at Appomattox, the 83d Pennsylvania Volunteers, prematurely aged, clad in . tatters and rags, V broken in body ~ but of dauntless ^/y spirit, swung into line for the last JJy$A "graud review' an^ quietly J I p mure bed away to T*~rj begin life's fray I I j anew amid the q(f hills and valleys / of the Keystone State. Among the soldier's return. the number Asa Robinson came back to the old home in Mt. Sterling, 111., back to the fireside that he had left at the call to arms four years previous. He weat away a happy, healthy farmer boy in the first flush of vigorous ^ manhood; he came back a ghost of the self that answered to President Lincoln's call for "300,000 more.'* Today he is an alert, active man tells the story of his recoverv as follows: "I was a great sufferer from sciatic rheumatism almost from the time of my discbarge from the army, ^ost of the time I was unfitted for manual labor of any kind, and my sufferings were at all time3 intense. At times I was bent almost double, and got around only with the greatest difficulty. Nothing seemed to give., me permanent relief until three * years ago, when my attention was called to some of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had cot taken more than half a box when I noticed an improvement in my condition, and I kept on improving steadily. I took r-f ? three boxes of the pills, and at the end of that time was in better condition than at any time since the close of my army service. Since then I have never been bothered with rbeu?? naitism. Dr. Wiliiams' Pink Pills for Pale People is the only remedy di/l r>-> A nr\TT /vaa^I n r* l 4 a OJJtkU V-41C4.

Oa the 17th inst, the second meeting of the County Teachers' Association was held at the Institute build lDg. President Farr and Vice President Kaiser being absent, Prof. 0. D. Seay was called to the chair. The usual order of business was the roll call, reading of minutes, the program, query box and miscellaneous business. Prof. L. B. Haynes was not present to respond to the sul ject assigned him, and the Association voted to defer the discussion of the Story in Education until the next . _ meeting. President Parrs subject, The Teacher's Daty to his Association was voted to be carried over to the next program. It was requested that Prof. W. D Dent continue the subject of School Libraries. Prof. O. D. Seay plead a lack of time to prepare a paper on The Pielations of School Studies to Moral Training and the Association indulgently voted the continuation of his subject. Miss Mary Wingard read a paper on Physical Training. She told in brief and definite language the necessity of physical training in the school. Properly directed physical culture promotes good health, and good health, promotes vigorous mental activity. It is the duty of the teacher to have the school . room well ventilated, comfortable seats arranged, teach children to sit properly and observe the general laws of health. The teacher - who never loses an opportunity to encourage and direct the proper physical development of the children, dees much towards the prevention of owl nnlmnnon' fiKO'tcfia D|/1UU1 iuiv?

The Dying Parson, R ,b Durdellt's Sory of His Farewell Words to the Deacon. The pastor of a struggling church was lying in his bed; three months arrears of salary was pillowing his head; his couch was strewn with j tradesmen's bills that pricked bis i heart like thorns, and neaily all life's common ills were goading bini like horns. The deacon sut beside hiin as the moments ticked away, and bent Lis bead to catch the words the parson had to sa\: "If I never shall niise from this hud bed on which I lie: if my warfire is accomplished and it's time fcr me to die: tokc a message to the jmi itor before I pass away?tell him fires are for December and the windows are for May. Tell him when he lays the notices upon the pulpits height, to shove them 'neath the cushion, far out of reach and sight. And when he bears the preacher's voice, in whispers sofc expire, that is the time to slam the doors and rattle at the fire. "\nd rw>'.v the deacons?tell the deacon?, too, through all the busy week, to hung their boots up in the I suu to hatch a Sunday squeak; with stcelshod canes to poke the man who comes to church to snore, and use the boys who laugh in church to mop the vestry floor. ''There's another, too?the woman who talks the sermon through; tell her I do not mind her buzz?my listening days are few. Tell her to leave her mouth at home some Sunday, for a minute and listen to a text, at least, without u whisper in it. ' And tell the board of trustees not to weep with bitter tears, for I can't be any deader than they have been for years. And tell half my congregation that I'm glad salvation's free: for that's the only chance for them between the desk and me. "And a farewell to the choir. How the name my memory racks! If they could get up their voices as they du get up their backs! Why, the stars would join their music and the welkiu would rejoice, while the happy congregation could not hear a single voice. But tell them I forgive them, and oh ! tell them that I said I wanted them to come aud sing above me ?when I'm dead." I His voice grew faint and hoarse, ? but it gave a laughing break, a kind | of gurgling chuckle as a ministei might make. But the deacon rose up slowly, and sternly he looked ! down upon the parson's twinkling eyes with most portentous frown. And he stiflly said, "Good morning' as he walked out in his ire, for tin deacon was the leader of that amia ble choir. -O * $100 Howard $100.

THE EEADHELD REGULATOR CO., Atlanta,, Ga, How much better is ibe man wl o will rob in trade than the one v. ho will do it at the muzzle of a pistol? You can't always tell how much rc-ligion a man has at home by the way he shouts at a camp meeting. One cf Hlaine's sayings: "I don't know why this man should be my enemy. I never did him a favor." Two Pointed Questions Answered. "What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it ? Ans.?As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in tie aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to b > tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment od them and use only the hotter one. This explains the I trge sale on Chambeilain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occa sionlly take up with sowto tasiooable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certaiu f j return to the one remedy that they know to be - reliable, and for cough*, colds and ( croup there is nothing cqQal to Chamberlain's Cough Eifoedy.
