Dear Comrades: We are confronted with a call' to duty which appeals to our hero ism as soldiers and to our pa-1 *' triotism as men. The convention of camps of Confederate survivors which was t lecently held at Creenvill has un dertaken the erection of a monuK . mentto the women of the Con-; T fedracy in South 1 'arolina, whose S heroic efforts, patriotic devotion and sell sacrifice made it possible for the Confederate army, of which we were members, to make the m most splendid record that history K3f ' .. , . recounts. All who know I he tacts recognize that all the great achievements were attributed to ' our women, whose valor and des voliou have been so long utiiiotired, and no public act on our part has evidenced our apprecia i tioii ot them. This, comrades should not have been, but even now we may redeem to some extent the almost criiuuial negligence ot" the past, i t . therefore appeal to you comrades J^V to enter heartily and enthusiasli cally iuto the work. Other conn ties are doing nobly; let not Wil liainsuurg be behind, and suffer k/ the reflection of indifference to so noble a cause. We are anxious to collect for Inio iiiuveiiivjiiL ai reasi uuu uonar for every Confederate survivor in the county. Some may not be able te contribute so much, but there are very few who cannot: v others can give much more, and friends of the poorest will help them to raise at least this small amount. I have been appointed to represent Williamsburg county on the general committee. All money collected will be forwardI ====== IK | 1 A BEAUT! ?-?? h of ine most siyiisn 1c 1 latest patterns, se I * our patrons, has EE extend to every lady in, Wi i, fc Counties |g | A Cordia ^ to call at our store in I\ same.

A Cnlqto Testlmor ial nt the Grave of a ? Faithful Wife. i "Speaking of queer epitaphs," I eaitl the raconteur cf the Smokers' club, "reminds me of a trip I took i to the Ozark mountains with a party ! of friends. It was late in September ! when we found ourselves nt Eureka 1 tarings, Ark., that pretty little rei t ort which lies between the east and i west mountains in what may bo i called one of the loveliest valleys in the country. We went on an excur| sion every day, ar.fl one morning started out on horseback to visit the I Four Alile cave, famous for its stalnc! tites. After going a couple of miles one of our horses cast a six e. . The : delay occurred near a little cemetery, below which ran the White river. It was such a wild, picturesque spot that 1 staid there while my friends huutcd'up a blacksmith, and I did not find it altogether lonely, rs other visitors were moving about in the distance and the old caietukerof the graves was within hailing. I passed the time waiting in reading the headstones on some rather pretentious mounds, and in this way came to an exceedingly odd and incongruous epitaph, which I transferred to paper with a rude copy of the design. How is this for a eulogy on a partner I : my vein: : : mabtha : ' Tier Firkcil Up Dinners : : Y?cre a perfect Success. : "It was sc jolly after the dreadful and untruthful literature of the other monuments that I must have showed my amusement in my face, fox* the ohi sexton drew near una said: " 4Howdy? S'pose }*er readin wot'8 on that there stuu?' 44 4Why, yes,' I said. 4Did you know the woman ?' 44 4Did I knowMcrthy? Why, Lor bless yer, everybody knew Martby ?least that warn't her name till she was dead. Her name was Molly Jones, but them huntin fellers ;?!1uh called her Marthy 'cause they said it were Scripter. S'pose yer don't hunt much ? This bo a great place for tbet, this be. ' "And just then I heard the mellow coll of a hunter's horn along the river bank below, answered by the cry of a pack of hounds. The old man pricked up his ears. 44 4Tbar, do yer hear thet? Tbet be George Perry an his houn's. They be goin to hev a fox hunt, I * - ? a rm ii.*.. 1,^ recKon. cee emi inur me/ ue right down thar. Yer see, it was George Perry's father that really paid for thet, stun.' 44 'Who was this Martha?'I asked. 44 'Waal, she useterto be the head oook at the ole Peiry House efore 6he married Bill Jones. Arter she got spliced they moved back inter the mountings an kept a kind of a tavern thar thet the hunters useter stop at when they went out on trips. Ef they ketched ennything, Molly useter cook it for 'em, an ef they didn't they bed to eat one'of her picked up dinners. But, Lor bless yer, thet warn't no chore! She cud make most ennything taste good, an ole Xurnel Perry useter say thet his big tavern couldn't set nospread ekal to Molly's picked up dinners.' 44 4Who raised this stone to her memory?' " 'I'm cornin to then, stranger. When Molly hed to die, lots ol folks felt purty bad, an kernel he up an 6ays he d stan the 'spenee of a monnyment to what he called her crownin virtue. He said thar warn't no great Scripter about it, but 'twas jest the gospel of her daily livin. an ef Bill Jones didn't objeck they'd let* it stan fer vrot it was wuth. An he put Marthy on as more befittin her name tor alius makin folks comfertablo, au ef tbet isn't savin grace I'd like to know.' 44 4So would I.' And, wringing the old man's hand, I joined my friends, thinking of that other Martha cumbered with much serving ancl wondering if, after all, the spirit thai makes folks comfortable isn't another name for saving grace, as the old sexton suggested.

This, from a C man who has sold thousands of # dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, 1 ] is strong testimony.
