"Williams, a versatile and somewhat
brilliant young lawyer,
edited a newspaper here, which
was cabled the Williamsburg
Tattler. About twenty - four
years ago Mr Williams went
away and had been scarcely
heard of even by tfce few since
then. Two weeks ago tfcis
writer, in an item in this colvump,
quoted,-or attempted to
quote two lines of poetry (?)
i v - which appeared in the Tattler
a quarter of a century ago. In
some manner the issue of The
EscOkRD containing that item
found its way into the wilds of
I Central Georgia and met the
eye of the editor of the Tattler,
?Kr Williams was immensely
amused o^er the item which recalled
day* long gone by when
life was young and laughter
Ittood on the lip's edge. He
;ent us a pleasant message and
a correction. The message was
like a bit of lavender and old
face, bringing back the old
days with all their tender pathos
and sweet memories: and
reminding us that our memory
had slipped a cog and that the
I orginal was even worse than the
attempted quotation. We quot

"Spring, sprang, sprung;
I saw a bird on the whang.''
Mr Williams says that the
original was:
"Spring, sprang, beautiful sprung;
This morning I saw a bee on the
wung."
Ye hoboes and little fishes!
If those crackers of wire-grass
{Georgia ever learn that he
wrote this, Ned Williams' departure
will be by "the all-rail
I rpitte," with tar and feathers
threwn in.
Berries are going off now in

3eemed to enjoy to the fullest extent
the hoipitable welcome given them
by the good people of Kingstree.

For the past few years Kingstree has
made Memorial day something more
thau a day for putting flowers on the
graves of the dead. The people here
have tried to make it a pleasant occasion
for the living and to onr mind
the heart of one old veteran made
lighter and happier even for a day
is far more of real worth than a
iocen monuments towering skyward
n their cold recital of the valor of
lead heroes. Ay, bind up the wounds
)f the living while yet the privilege
se ours. The dead are taken care of
)y the great Captain of Hosts and
ittle reck they of our poor, human
efforts to do them homage.

The next speaker introduced was

church, who in an admirable
anner discussed the causes leading

and showed conclusively that

teresting and informing.
The school children sang the

her stirring patriotic melodies

THE MOTHER'S PROBLEM 1
Of Rol>io( Strong, Bcultb.' Girl*.
A serious problem whiefc presents Itself
to every mother with g,n* to raise,
iu t hese days. The exlgencu* of sobool -;
life, the hurry and routine oi every-dsy >??
duties, the artittcial environment of
modern civilization, mate it more j
difficult to raise strong. healthy girle ^39
than ever in the history oi ?b* world.
Boys raise themselvee. Give them .'7j*
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy atloast, without much
worrying. But the girls j>T*y?.x.a se*ious
problem.
- Tx^l
How many moth^re there r,rf who are
worrying about thoxr (Jscfi tcit, Ker- 'Aj
ous, puny girls, w. th poor. taprlciooe
appetites, bloodied ljetlrte, a c onstant
anxiety to the mother. f?-w eral^b*
solve her problem? Towiu<tc - :.alObe
turn for help? Each ca<e .s- more or S
lesa a study by itself, and cannot be * i|
solved by any general rait.
This is the way one moth* r ?*>lved the ?
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, ?&* Preaeqtt
Ave., St. Louis. Me., in a i-'-ter to Dr. !
Hartman, says: "My danp.vur Alice, *
four years of age. was a puny, sickly, *
ailing child since she was oc.-l. I was ^
always doctoring her. Wc - r> we commenced
to use Peruna she n w strong
and well."
Another mother, Mrs. Wan:.a Moss,
R. F. D. 5, Chippewa Falir. v, !sconsin,
says: "Our little eagni-y^-oia girt \g
ball a bad cough, and was iu ? general
run-down rendition." She nsd several *5
doctors, who could give tbe< l.ildno relief,
and the motbti no eni o- sgement.
Finally, she go: a bottle A Peruna
ind commenced giving it to Jbe child,
mil it proved to O? joei what she ' gj|
needed. When she- commenced taking
Peruna the child r.ad to bo carried.
Now the mother ?-aja ebe is playing
Lround ail the time.
Her dosing wordt were: 'Youhava
lone a great deal for ber. ?he is tha ^ . -W
>nly giri we have, and it me*iU lota to
js to have her cured."
These are sample* of many letter*
vhich Dr. Hartman is receiving, coding
straight from tins hearts of loving
nothers. While the different schools ?
>t medicine are bic&eiing a^.u differing
is to theories and remedies, Parana (
:oes right steadily on giving permanent
elief. After all. it is cures thlttha
people want. Tbcwira arc of litfla
