HOBERTE. LEES CENTEN-
NARY.
" - A hundred years ago today, Jan.
19, 1807, at the old Lee homestead
T.n Virginia, was born Robert
Edward Lee, the centennary of
-wb'ose' birth is celebrated today
throughout the South and even in
in many Northern cities. The
Tiaine of Robert E Lee gains in

est eenerals. even as Urant and
other commanders of the North
who learned by hard experience
the wonderful ability of the leader
-of the South, long ago paid tribute
to bim.
But it is not alone his military
greatness that made Lee the ido
of the South. His heroic character
as a patriot won for him their
lasting: homage, it is true, and
placed him upon the pedestal
I?ame, but it was as much his
characteristic qualities of Christian
manhood and of innate nobility
that endeared him to the South
and won for him a reverential
lovesuch. as has rarely crowned
the life of any man, be he hero or
statesman.
Lee has been pointed out by
many writers as the highest type
of American manhood. Skilful
and intelligent, brave and chival
rous, loyal to his friends and gen
- erus to nis toes, Honorable in
cvary dealing of his life, he stands
preeminent among men of whatever
nation as one worthy of regard and
admiration. That the truejestimate
of this great American's charac
ter is becoming general throughout
his country is evidenced by the
following tribute to Lee from
recent number of a Northern maga
zine, the Outlook:
The time is not distant when
in every place where the statues of
heroes are placed for remembrance
and for inspiration the figure of
Robert E. Lee will stand among
bis peers; when the cities of the
jtforth-will set his effigy in public
places, and tell his story to child

not distant when the image of
Lincoln will touch the heart of
every man of Southern birth with
a sense of his human greatness,
liis human tenderness, his human
wisdom, and monuments to his
noble memory, will rise on South
- era soil- for he was the truest
friend the South had in its darkest
days. In such interchanges of
sacrifice, nobility and greatness,
the tragedies of conflicting convic
tions are finally reconciled, and
the world is moved forward into
the light of a happier day."

mrs. c n. .tsiain, living out on

says: My grandchild, about eight
years old commenced to be troubled
by a kidney or bladder ailment
about a year ago. At first I could
not conceive what was the matter,
nowever tne symptoms got more
pronounced and I watched her
closely. She seemed to have no
power to retain the kidney secre

pain in the back of her neck and
head. Procuring Doan's Kidney
Pills, I was gratified to see the
change for the better within a very
short time. I have great faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills and can
heartily endorse them.

prominent physicians (who are competent judges) think of Dr.
Taylor's work:

Dr. Taylor is a man of exceptional ability and his system of muscular
exercise of strengthening the eyes is of inestimable value to jmpils and

ALEXANDER C. FLACK,

has successfully handled several cases here in which other prominent

What's In a Name?
One evening at dinner a lady who
had the reputation of being the
most inveterate "kicker" at the
hotel asked the waiter why the de
sert served her was called ice
cream pudding.''
"If you don't like it, ma'am, I
can bring-you something else," the
negro politely replied.
"Oh, it's very nice, indeed,"
said the lady. "The name is all I
object to. If they call it ice cream
pudding they should serve ice
cream with it."
"Well, ma'am," replied Jhe
waiter, "that's just our name for
it. Lots o' things called that way.
You don't get no cottage with a
cottage pudding."
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam-J
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to. its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We whl give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by . Hall's Catarrh
Onre. Send for circulars Jree.
