Hon. S. S. Jones had lieeu chosen to

remarks follow :
"The return of tho boyi.who respond
od to th" call for troops to wage a war
or humanity against tjr.'iliny. for fiee
dnm agalnit oppression, f"r the nusses
against the clashes, Is '.he iK-mslon of
this gathering; and as 1 look Into the
faces of the men who marched with
Sherman, who were with ShciHun,
Hooker, Meade and Gt.mt; with Far
lagut. Dewey and Schley, veterans of
the Civil war on land and sea, men
aged but still vigorous: frosted but still
full of the lire of patriotism, and then
looking down the lino of sturdy men
In the vigor of manhood, flesh from
the camps, the boys who ate the pride
of the American people, I feel that two
pfflods In this republic's history are
luought closely together. A thlid of n
century with all that Intervenes is
Crushed aside; and men who fought
for the preservation of the T'ulon at
the Wilderness, Antietam, Oettysbutg,
in out of (Petersburg, nt Shlloh and
Lookout Mountain, men who were with
Dewey In that famous tuvitl engage
ment on Mobile bay nr gathered at
this heard with the bojs who volun
teered to fight under the banner of the
free, In t'ulu, the Philippines, any
where in the wide, wide world where
the Stars and Stripes ate cart led and
the Inteiests of this republic might de
mand their service.
"That our hoys weie not nt HI fancy,
Santiago or Manila is no fault of
theirs, for they were willing to mi ct
the emeny, to face the danger of battle
a ml endure the hardships Incident to 1
campaign In the tropics Our boys
were ready for action, but the occasion
for their ser ices ceased to exist, they
were mustered out and honorably dis
charged. Once more they are home
with their friends and lnved ones and
we are glad that they are here and
t'arbondnle is proud to do honor to
our brae hoys,"
Has there any old fellow got mixed
with the hoys-.'
If there has, take him out, without
making a noise.
Hang the almanac's cheat ami tho
catalogue's spite!
Old Time Is a liar: Were twenty to
night! Holme:-.

Vannan desires it corrected, not so
much on tils own account as because
It Interferes with tho plans of others.
He will continue at the head of the
Van Bergen plumbing establishment.

BLEEDING PILES.
And all other forms of this common
and often dangerous disease readily
cured without pain or inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women aiv
nfn!cted with Bome sort of piles, with
out either knowing the exact nature of
the trouble, or knowing it, are care,
less enough to allow it to run without
taking the simple means offeied for a
radical cure,
The failure of salves and ointments
to permanently euro piles has led many
to believe tho only cure to be a aur
glcal operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life and moreover not often entirely
successful and nt this time aio no
longer used by the best physicians or
recommended by them.
The safest nnd surest wny to cure
nny case of p.les, whether blind, Weed
Ing or protruding, is to use the Pyra
mid Pile cure, composed of healing
vegetable oils, and absolutely free rron:
mineral poisons and opiates. The fol-
loniim leuer trom a Pittsburg gentle
man, a seveie sufferer from bleeding
Plies, fives mime Idea of the piompt
effectual character of this pile cure.
Ho writes:
I take pleasure writing these few
lines to let you know tlint I did not
sleep for three months except for a
short time each night because of a bad
caso of bleeding piles. I was down In
bed and the doctors did me no good. A
good brother told me of tho Pyramid
Pile Cure and I bought from my diug
Bibt threo jifty.cent bottles. Thee
cured me and I will soon bo able to bo
to my woik nsnin.

The Pyramid Pilo Cure Is not only
tho safent nnd surest remedy for piles,
but Is the best known nnd most popu
lar. Every physician nnd druggist In
the rountry Knows It and what It will
do.

Charleston, W. Vn., March 9, 1898.
tPe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Co., Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen I can recommend your preparation, Pc-ru-na, as a tonic. Its
reputation as a cure for catarrh is excellent, It having been used by a num
ber of people known to me with the very best results. Very truly,
G. W. Atkinson.
Fully fifty per cent, of the people of the United Stntes are suffering from
catarrh In some degree or phase. There Is scarcely a home in the land en
tirely free from this disease. One or more members of every household either
has catarrh or some other ailment directly dependent upon catarrh. Ca
tarrh Is rapidly becoming a national scourge. Its existence in the system
complicates and Intensifies any ailment a person may happen to have. With
these alarming facts comes the encouraging news that I'e-ru-na cures ca
tnrrh. Cures It permanently; cures It by eradicating It entirely from the sys
tem. Pe-ru-na Is an internal systemic remedy, reaching the disease at its
fountain-head. It cures catarrh of the bead, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys,
or catarrh of nny other organ of the body.
