an unsolicited but
MERITED TRIBUTE.
Editor Independent:
It was the privilege of the
writer to be present last Wednes
day at Walnut Grove cemetery j
and witness the decoration ol the
graves of the Confederate dead,'
conducted by the ladies ot the L.
D. C., Lucien Cause Chapter, as
vreli as to take some part in
those exercises. As such exer
cises deserve more than a pass
ing mention, and yoiijWere kind
enough to take notice of them in
your worthy paper, I desire the
use of a small portion of your
columns in which to pay a well
deserved tribute to the patriot
ism of our women. Before do
ing so. however, permit me to
say that 1 sincerely regret that
so few of the men of Newport
honored the occasion with their
presence, thus failing to accept
the invitation so generously ex
tended them by the ladies, and
in rl/\imir \\r I t-Vi/diUnor fivmi Hip
ill V.IV w 1 ---o
latter that encouragement in
their laudable undertaking they
should receive from the men. It
is to be devoutly hoped, then,
that on similar occasions in the
future our men shall exhibit
more thoughtfulness of the feel
ings and wishes of the ^ladies
than their neglect this time
would seem to indicate.
A TRIBUTE.
From a purely patriotic stand
point there is manifestly nothing
that is calculated to commend
itself more readily to the admi
ration of thinking men than the
unstinted loyalty and unswerv
ing devotion of our southern wo
men to the cause of our own be
loved Southland. It ranks sec
ond to nothing, save it be the
loyalty and devotion of truly
consecrated Christians to Jesus
Christ and his cause.
During the civil war between
the states it was my privilege,
though a mere lad. to bear some
part in the service of my country
on the tented field, and anon
amid the rain of shot and shell
in no less than seven hard fought,
hotly contestly battles, and well
do I remember that while the
separation was painful, to be
sure, how it was that southern
mothers and wives, sisters and
sweethearts not only parted read
ily with their loved ones to fight
the battles of their country, but
as they bade them goodbye, and
imprinted the kiss of affection
upon their brave, manly cheeks,
they encouraged them to be
faithful even unto death to what
they believed to be a righteous
cause. }
And not only so. but after
those boys and men had gone to
t he front and were baring their
josoms to the inevitable conflict,
hose same devoted women did!
lot remain idle in their homes, j
.nit on the contrary they turned j
.heir hand to whatever was I
leedfui to aid in feeding and j
dot lung the soldier boys, whether
t was at the weaver’s loom in
die home, or behind the hoe and
die plow in the field.
“Onward, boys,” was their
slogan and “victory for the
right” was their watchword. !
And over and over again did;
they pause in the midst of their .,
arduous labors in the home or the!
field and pen encouraging mes
sages to the soldier boys far
away, and perchance bedewing
them with the tears of undying
affection that they could not re
strain, they would send those j
messages on the wings of the
wind, as it were. How they
would gladden the hearts of the
receivers and inspire them with
resh courage and devotion, and
lerve them fonthe coming clash
>f arms that perhaps would be
'all them on the morrow.
I thank God that the mantle of
he noble mothers that lived10
hose times of severe ordeal has
alien upon the shoul<^"s^^^j^r

A State of Health That Needs Prompt
T reatment to Ward Off
Serious Disease.
Do you notice a lar.ee reduction in
your vital energy ? Are you losing hold
f»n your place in the social world? Is
your strength gone, constitution weak,
appetite poor, digestion deranged, bow
els costive, with uneasiness and symp
toms of derangement in the region of
the kidneys? Such a condition is the
preliminary to Bright’s Disease or soma
other serious kidney’ trouble. If this
describes the state of your body, we urge
upon you prompt action before your
health is entirely beyond recovery.
Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy you
need; it has a four-fold restorative effect.
It stimulates the torpid liver, restores
health in the stomach, strengthens and
cures the kidneys, and through its
peculiar yet agreeable laxative char
acter it clinches the good work by thor
oughly cleansing the bowels. It is a
certain remedy for kidney and liver
diseases.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having

heroic daughters, and while the
cause for which their fathers
fought and died was lost, the
memory of it is proudly cherished
in the hearts of these same pa
triotic daughters. And though
our hearts are made glad to
know that the two sections of
our country, once torn asunder
by fratricidal strife, are now
more solidly united together than
ever before under one common
dag, and while the swords of in
ternecine strife were long since
beaten into plough-shares and
the spears into pruning hooks,
leaving us to hope that section
shall not again lift up sword
against section, nor learn war
any more among themselves, yet
it is fitting that we should pre
serve green the memory of the
noble, valorous deeds of the
Southern heroes that fell in de
fense of their country and whose
bodies lie sleeping in hundreds
of graveyards all over our South
land.
All honor, then, to the women
of our Southern country that
would thus cherish the memory
of those fallen patriots, if they
can do no more than to unite
year after year and lay the
wreaths of flowers upon the
places made dear by enclosing
the bodies of some of the might
iest heroes the world ever knew,
and in seeing that their graves
shall not be forgotten.
Sincerely,
H. M. Long,

No. 933 Mission St., San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 9, 1903. '
I am happy and pleased to attest to the value of Wine of Cardui for pros
pective mothers L took it for three months before my darling baby came and
I suffered so little pain I felt I was an exception. The child is happy and
healthy and the sunshine of my life. I had hardly any trouble after she was
born, and after eleven days was up doing my entire housework and feeling
better than I had felt for years. 1 am the envy of my neighbors because of the
unusually healthy child I have and because I never had a sick day myself 1
give the entire credit to Wine of Cardui, !
For I was sickly, pale and thin before T took 7/ *7/ ^
it, but since I have used it I have bepn in '•
perfect health, have gained fourteen Vice-President,
pounds and enjoy life as never before. Sunnyside Mother's’Club

one bottle of FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE effected a perfect cure, and
he says there is no remedy that will compare with it.
