KELTON
Kelton, April 16.?I attended the
Union County Field Day last Saturday
and found a large gathering of
young people and many old ones. All
were enjoying themselves. I like to
see people enjoy themselves. I was
at the park but a short time, only to
see two or three races.
The looked-for cyclone in the person
of W. D. Upshaw arrived in due time
time and gave the Pea Ridge people
and interesting talk on prohibition.
Tie is a very interesting speaker, having
something to say and no trouble
to say it. At times he would have his
audience in an uproar of laughter, and
the next minute having them seriously
thinking. We don't think enough, we
sit idle and let others do our thinking:
We had better have been bencte tVmw I
have minds and not use them, right.
I heard in Union Saturday that the
Johnson Rifles would leave for camp
life Sunday, the 15th. That carries
my mind back 56 years and two days
when the Pea Ridge left Union for
Confederate service on the 13th day of
April, 1861, many of them never to
return to see their loved ones again.
I will give your readers the names of
one family connection that fell on the
battlefields or died with disease during
the four years of a dreadful war, most
of them belonged to the same company,
all of them first cousins except
one. I will begin at the family that
suffered heaviest: John Gallman, four
sons, three killed on the battlefields,
nnd one died with disease. Daniel
Gallman, three sons, one killed, one
died and one came through. George
Gallman, one son survived the war.
Lemuel Gallman and onlv son Abram:
he is livinp today but his father was
killed in the first battle that he was
in. Reuben Gallman, only one son,
killed. David Gallman, only one son,
died since the war. Waters Farr, five
sons, one or two died or were killed
durinp the war, only one livinp. D. J.
FaTr, Abram Free, one only son still
livinp. G. W. Gault, three sons, one
died since the war, two still livinp.
Twenty in all, 19 first cousins and one
uncle; ten killed or died durinp the
war, five still livinp. You will see
one-half lost, one-fourth still livinp.
These fipures show you the fruits of
war; all of them in the bloom of life,
save one?and brave men, not one of
them havinp a blot on his fair name.
When you Tead such records who
wouldn't say war is terrible. Our dear
boys who are enlistinp in the arrny
now and leavinp may fare even worse
than the families named above. I hope
that none of our boys will be called
to po across the preat deep for the
vessels mipht strike a mine or be torpedoed
and whole companies or repiments
be sent to the bottom. These
are serious thinps to think about, especially
we who have had war experience.
We hear much talk of the hiph cost '
i:^j i? *
ui living uui some 01 us Know what ?
high prices were during the Civil war.
HMMMfalMBkhmond, Va., I paid 50 cents for
one medium sized cooked sweet potato
and in camp T have paid $3.00
for a single loaf of bread not near i
as light as we can get now for 10 g
cents. As soon as war was declared s
the president should have issued a j
proclamation calling on all the cotton 1
States to make onjy five bales of cot- s
ton tft the plow and if they made over 1
that it should be taxed 10 cents a c
pound as a war tax. With all the r
pleas for the Southern farmers to
raise more food stufF the greater part j
of them are going to plant much land
in cotton and it is as much a duty for j
the farmers to raise something to eat
as it is to send men to the front, for 1
if they can't get something to eat in
the army and something for their 1
lved ones at home to eat the war
would soo nend or we would have Bel- ?
gium's suffering women and children
in out country. If there is not a stop t
to supplying Europe with our food
supplies. If they haven't got supplies 7
let them stop fighting. G. T. G.
P. S.?I forgot to mention Uncle <
John Gallman, who lost four sons and
one grandson. i

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Ix?se a
Day's Work.
There's no Teason why a person
should take sickening, salivating calomel
when 50 cents buys-a large bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone?a perfect
substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant vegegtable liquid
which will start your liver just a?
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly
harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. Tt is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow.
Don't lose a day's work
Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver
rone instead and you will wake up
feeling great. No more biliousness,
constipation, sluggishness, headache
coated tongue or sour stomach. Your
Iruggist says if you don't find Dodson's
Liver Tone acts better than horrible
calomel your money is waiting
for you.
