Mulford's man has been in Union and
says that the city of Union has used
more vaccine virus than any three cities
in the State during the last six months.
This means that Union is the most

A great deal has been said and written (
of the Elixer of Life, but up to the pres- .
ent time how many of us have solved
that problem. Life is short and sweet, 1
as the old adage goes*--it is more <
especially God's greatest gifts, health,
(strength and happiness. Would we
not, all of us give our all, oould we bat '
prolong our life, in many cases, for a few 1
noun*? In solving this great problem <
and to accomplish this seeming impossibility
it becomes neoessary for science to .
lend its aid. the resit of this long scion- '
tide research and experiment is "Longs?
vita." (see ad. in another oolumn) a t
scientifically prepared vegetable compound
hitherto unknown, and coming
as it does from the natural element, its
curative properties can never be est!* '

- again developed and his decline was
- rapid. While his death was not wholly
, uuexpected, the announcement caused
a ptll of siidness in his community, and
- a general wave of sorrow throughout the
couuty. Because Major Hob Betsill
s was uuivereally beloved aud recognized
by all who knew him as the 4 noblest
Horn in of them all." lie was one of
the most gallant aud daring soldiers in
the Confederate service and served his
country faithfully and well throught
out tt.e war. He served with Col. Win.
( II. Wallace, of Union, aud was upon
more than oue occasion the recipient of
personal commendation for his bravery
t and gallant service by the officers high
> in command.
Maj. Hetsill enlisted in the Confederate
amiy .win inu ior service witn me lirst
, troops to leave from Union. By his re.
markablo bravery and gallantry he soon
won glory and climbed rapidly up the
. ladder of promotion. lie stepped from
, priva'e in ranks to Lieutenant, then to
Capta.n, and at the bittle of Jackson, ]
J Misi., for his extraordinary gallantry,
| he wits promoted over three senior j
! Captains to Major. Upon one occasion,
au oilijer was instructed to make a
charge, the danger was so apparent, and
the odds so overwhelming that the oilioer '
flunked and backed down. Maj. B *i si11
was sent for and asked if he would un- .
dertike it. He replied that he would do
( it or die in the attempt. He took com,

to see her vacant place at the table
