A Strong Combination.
TlieTifton (Ga.) Gazette savs
that Mr. W. A. Moore, of Willach-
ochee "has a. breed of hogs with hoofs
like those of a mule with no cleft.
He secured thebreed at Fernandina.
Fla, and claims that theyaie cholara
proof." Probably they are. An
animal that unites the general
characteristics of the hog with the
business end of the mule represents
mighty strong combination.
Charleston New and Courier. '
How is this? Don't our South-
ren brethren read the Bible
and know that it forbids the eating
of flesh from an animal that has no
cloven foot?

I the last time. 1 was in to Wash
ington on Monday and expect to go
in gain soon, ine boys are all
gcttiug pretty sore arms as they all
had to be vaccinated, but they don't
need to go-out to drill unless they
wisntodoso.
Our camp has been greatly im
proved since we came. There wa9
nothing here but briars and stubbles
two feet high when we came.
The Captain and a few of us
were in to Falls church on Sunday
evening. A very heavy shower
came up and flooded some of the
boys out of their tents, it was pretty
tough luck, but Pennsylvania boys
can stand a good bit before they
complain. It is very warm down
here. There are two Y. M. C. A.
tents and a Salvation army tent on
the grounds. There are about fifty
sutler tents. We can buy anything
from a pin to a house. I iust had a
good breakfast. Four of us bought
a large hah and had the cook fry it
it tasted good.
Captain Stroub is going home to
Milton one of 'these days to enlist
more men and he is going to 'phone
to you. Ijet the boys know there
is a chance to enlist. If they do.
they will never feel sorry for it.

Clarence Moyer Shot.
The criminal folly of allowing
lioys to have and use fire arms was
fearf ully demonstrated on cdnes-
day afternoon. Two Iniys, uged
alniut nine years, had lieeii playing
at war during the morning, and the
game was continued until nearly 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when llov
Ilcck got hold of n gun loaded with
urge shot and fired the contents into
the body of Clarence, son of John
T. Moyer. The load entered the
mouth, cutting away the right angle,
all the skin and muscles of the neck
is torn away lietween the chin and
collar bone, exposing the tongue on
the right side. Halt of the inferior
jaw bone is torn away and what re
mains is fractured. The right fore
arm lias all the muscles and urteries
torn away exposing the bone. Drs.
Heyer and Tool were sent for and
lid all that medical science could
suggest for the suflerer, aud at pres
ent writing the patient is doing as
well as could be exiiected under the
circumstances. This is a sod acci
dent, and should be a lesson to those
parents who allow their boys to use
guns and pistols. Courier,

In our advertising col urns will be
found an announcement of Ex-Senator
John J. Ingalls' forthcoming
book, entitled "American's War For
Humanity." Canvassing agents
will find in it a book of remarkable
interest, and certainly of extraordi
nary aalability. The history of the
war' is told in picture and story, and
in a way that ; always characterises
the brilliant pen of Senator Ingalls.
In narrating the incidents of this
war he finds grand scope for his sup
erb descriptive and analytical powers.
The theme is worthy of the author,
and the author is worthy of the

venture so much, should do what
in us lie to lighten their burdens

hardships which these brave men
must endure alone, but there are
some which we can share with them
and which we wish to sliare in re
8Knse both to the dictates of pa
triotism and the injunction of the
divine charitv :"Ilinr vp nn nnntli.
eVa burdens."
To this end, many citizens of the
United States, in public and private
life, without respect to creed or
party, have been pronited to unite
in an organization known as the
"National Relief Commission," and
whose aims are here set forth
The National Relief Commission
is organized in the spirit ami with
the general purpose of the Christian
ami Sanitary Commissions which
operated so effectively during the
Civil war.
Tlie primary object of thw organi
zation is to aid the United States
Government in caring foritssoldiers,
sauors, murine, ami oinw. wiu
may lie disabled by sickness or
wounds, and to relieve the families
of comlmtaiits, if need hIwiiKI re
quire, lo accomplish the? ends,
we cull upon all Christum and all
philanthropic iieoplc in the United
SUttes, without resect to creed or
juirty, to form auxiliary Relief
Associations; and in order to secure
harmony of action and prevent the
wate of energy, mins and in order
to concentrate all efforts so that the
liest results may lie obtained, we in
vite such associations to unite with
iw in perfecting u National t)rgani-zatioo.
A secondary imriiose of the Re
lief Commission is to aid thupluins
aud Ulers in maiiiuiiiiing the moral
tone of the men in the Army and
Navy by friendly visits from tur
agents and commissioners, and the
representatives of religious organi
zations ami orders.
It is our purpose, through these
and other agencies and methods,
asexigencies may arise, to contribute
to the health and comfort of tlie
men on duty ; to aflbrd assistance
and support, as may l reuii'ed, to
surgeons and nurses in tlie liealing
and care of the sick aud wounded;
to aid in the administration of re
ligious consolation, with due regard
to tlie preferences ami convictions of
all ; to keep the men in close touch
with home and its refining and help
ful influences by extending facutiea
for ready communication with rela
tives and friends ; to facilitate the
identification ot those- who may die
in tlie service, and to aid kindred
and friends in procuring the remains
for home burial. In short, we will
endeavor to help the men of the
Army and Navy with such kindly,
healthful and moral influences as
will keep them "true to the kindred
points of Heaven and Home."
We are sure that the citizens ot
the United States are willing aud
able to aid the National Government
to the fullest extent in caring for the
disabled, and to promote in the above
and kindred ways . the health and
comfort of soldiers and sailors and
their families. We know that the
people have a mind to the work.
We believe that it will do them good
be strengthened by their endeavors
to aid tlie suffering, and those in the
field, and that their devotion to the
government will lie deepened by co
operation therewith in the benevolent
phases of public administration.
For these reasons we call upon
all, o! whatever religious or political
belief, individus Uy, in churches,
in young people's socities, in liencv
olent and . other organizations and
orders, to form auxiliary associations
in unison with tlie National Relief
Commission, !. tlie collection of
funds, and to do siieh other Mrvie
as circumstance may require. We
ask the patriotic ami benevolent
everywhere to at once eoMiperat
according to their ability, that the
work of relief may Ijegin without
delay. May God save tlie Republic !
