A NATION'S DEAD.
On the occasion of decoration
day at Dyersburg last week, Aaron
G. Davis of the Democrat wrote
the following appropriate lines:
"Long ago the flag of the Con
federacy went down upon a sea of
patriot blood, and beneath its sa
cred folds, forever f urled, the h-oli-est
cause for which mortals ever
fought lies dead. No nation ever
rose so elorious, and no -one ever
m- ' .
fell so free from sin. It was the .
patriot's fondest dream people's
dearest hope, and when it fell all
that was bright and hopeful passed
from our yearning clasp amid the
' shadows of a dark despair. Fear
ful were the dark forbodings that
the future held, but our dear old
South, "more beautiful in her con
secrated coronet of sorrow" has
nobly passed the dark ordeal. She
stands to-day beneath the opal skies
where roses blow and lilies dream,
and proud magnolia blooms like
the fallen moons are seen where
b11 is bright and joyous once again.
And Btill she holds to all the sweet,
sad memories of the past The
battlefields where sleep her dead,
the victims of last despair, are holy
ground. To-day she comes with
flowers, sweet types of the Ressur
rection morn to strew above their
graves. But in these sad rites all
that was born of hate is now no
more. The past is the eternal past.
A nation's dead both Gray and
Clue j-e consecrated in a people's
love."
Piles are not only most painful,
but also very dangerous, as the in
flamed nodules are very apt to take
on malignent action and cancer of
the rectum is produced. They
should bo cured. Tabler's Buck

most obstinate cases. Price, 50
cents in bottles. Tubes, 75 cents,
Sold by all druggists.
We understand there is a prob
ability of two or three brick blocks
