EMMA By O. G. (Continue'd from Last Week.) This bridge was also !burned, and %still onward Streight plodded with his troopers past Cedar iBlufftwenty-eight miles from Gadsden, at sun-up and then wearily on in the direction of Tfome, until 9 A. M., 'May 3rd, he stop ied at Lawrence to rest and feed. So exhausted were his men that, as soon as they were ordered to halt, they sank down ucon the 'ground, and many of them fell asleep at once. It 'wvas with -great diilculty that a suflicient number could be kept' oil their feet long enough to giv~e the mules and horses the measure of pro vender due them. 'it was not so, how ever, with their indomittable com mandler. He had Just received a nies sage from Captain Russell that the bridge at Rome was too heavily guard ed, and lie could not take It. He had also heard that a second column of Confederates was moving parallel wiLh him, and were now nearer to Rome than himself. This was all very bad news, but at this moment his quick ear caught a sound -lie knew too well, and which, more than all else, banished ho)ei as well as sleep. As Sherman called him, "That devil Forrest" was at his heels again, and once more the cracking rifles of his rear-guard and their relentless pursuers came ring ing through the wood. The Confeder ate commander had not been long de layed at the Chattooga where Streight had burned the last bridge. He dis covered that the walking on the hot toni of this stream was no worse than Even Careful Calomel Users are Salivated Very Next. Dose of Treacherous Drug may Start Trouble Calonel is dangerous. It may salivate you and nake you suffer fearfully from soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws and teeth, , swollen tongue, and excessive saliva dribbling from the nouth. Don't trust calomiel. It is mercury; quicksilver. If you feel bilious, headachiy, consti pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dod son's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nity calomel and without making you si -, you just go back and get your mlloney. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it niay salivate you, while if you take 1odson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and can m t salivate. STOUT Slende~ize ) by we t~ORSET- I RADE MARK( RE .

Ten hours of refreshing sleep and rest had wrought wonders in Forrest's fragment of a command, and by dawn of day on 'May 3ri his loss than six hundred were once more in full cry after the raiders. 'Reaching the burned bridge near Gaylesville, the ammunition was carried over in small boats. The horses/nSwai or forded with the .men on their backs, and the cannon and empty caissons were pu-llc'd over on the river bottom. :S little time was lost 'by these adepts of war that by 9 A. M. they were ulpt with the Union column, although* the latter had trudged along all through the night. Forrest advanced at once -making the greatest possible display of his small force, yet careful not to make an as sault which mvould demonstrate his numerical weakness. In cresentic 'line, and at good 'distance apart, he adanced his skiriisliers until he had more than half-way surrounded the Federal position. From the noise these men made, and the orders given as to the disposition and -formation of the troops and the artillery, one might well have thought a brigade or two- was being moved in battle rather than a corporal's guard of a little over half a thousand men. .In this dire extremity, brave Col. Streight gathered his officers about him, and with them tried to arouse his sleeping men. Some of these when vforously shaken, raised themselves to a sitting posture, stared drowsily about as if dazed and uncertain as to ivhere they were, then nodding, closed their eyes, fell over on the earth, and were again asleep. Others made no re sponse whatever to the unergetic effort made to awaken them. After strenuous exertion about one-half of the Feder al command struggled to their feet, and once -more pluckily rallied to their colors. Their commander lined themi up for one more gesperate effort and then or dered them to lie down for better pro tection. They did lie down., their heads to the .foe, -their loaded guns -pointed along the ground in the direction in which Forrest and his men were com Ing. Then, instead of shutting one eye in deadly ain allong the gleaming bar rel' of their rifles, 'both eyes were closed. Gunstock and hammer, barrel and sight and hated foeman faded from their vision, in the darkness which overcame them. The 'brave fellows newre asleep in line of battle. The exultant rebel yell, the ci'ack and crackle of pistol and carbine, and the tattoo of horses' feet upon the ground as the rear guard and pickets came rushing into camip no longer aroused them. The man of Iron had worn them out. Colonel Streight, In his ofilcial report, says: "Nature was WOMEN our Fgure wing a. ~RASSIEREII 0.

ANY exhausted. A large portion of ny best troops actually went to sleep while lying In line of ibattle under a severe skirmish flre." It was at this 'propit ions moment that -General Forrest sent Captain Henry Pointer, of his staff, with a flag of truce to the Union comn mander demanding the surrender of himself .anq connand. Tihe wiley Confederate, knowing his man, and his own questiona:ble position as well, ex pressed an carest desire to avoid the further acusion of blood" but took es )eciail pains to Icave off that terrify in'g threat of "no quarter if lie had to sacriflee his men in an assault," twith which he was wont to bluff his an tagonist ever since he used so success fully in his -fIrst attack on Murfrees borough. Col. Streight replied that he would meet General Forrest to (Is cuss the question and in the confer ence asked what his Proposition was. Forrest replied: "Iminediate surrender, your men to ie treated as prisoners of war; the officers to retain their side-arms and )crsonal property." Col. iStreight asked a few minutes in' which to consult his ofilcers. Forrest said: "All right, but you will not require much time. I have a column of freshi trools a-t handr-now' nearer Rome than you aile. You cannot cross' the'river in your front. I liave men enough right here to run over you." In a'll of which there was not one word of truth, but this was; war, aid in war everything is fair. Just then one piece of a sec tion of Forrest's battery under Lieu tenant R. G. Jones, came In sight. This officer says: "I vas riding a little in advance of the gun when, suddenly lookin'g up, I saw Genei'al Forrest, Captain Pointer, one or more officers, and several Federal officers stitng down on the north side of the road. a little distance .up the road I saw a crowd of Yankees. Captain Pointer called -for me to halt. He then ap -)roached me and said, "Colonel Streight objects'o your coming li) so close; I dropped -back a title. I moved -back with the gun, and came to 'ac tion front' with one wheel in the road at the edge of the wood. Soon Ser geant Jackson came up with the other piece and took position In the other 'half of the roadway." Streight re turned to his command, called his of fleers together, and talked over the sit uation. They voted unanimously to surrender and thelir commander, though personally opposed to It, and still ready to fight to the death, yield ed to the decision, of his subordinates. The men stacked their -guns, and were marched away to an -open field or clearing, but it was not until the Ccnfederate denerg1I got his small con mnand between the'Federal troops and their arms that he felt himself secure.
