Do Ghost* flaunt Swamps?

No, never. It's foolish to fear a fancied evil, when there are real and deadly perils to guard againts in swamps and marshes, bayous, and lowlands. These are the malaria germs that cause ague, chills and fever, weakness, aches in the bones and muscles and may induce deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters destroys and oasts out these vicious germs from the blood. 'Three bottles drove all the malaria from my system," wrote Wm. Fretwell of Diicama, N. C. "and I've had fine health ever since." Use this safe, sure remedy only. 60c at Winfrey Chantry's.

PEACH TREE CREEK BATTLE

8ergeant Newberry Tells Interesting 8tory of Fight He Witnessed From Ravine. ,.a

On July 19 the Fourth corps and Fourteenth corps and the First and Second divisions of the Twentieth corps crossed Peach Tree creek to the eastern side and formed lines, while the Third division of the Twentieth corps remained in camp some six miles or more from the battlefield. On the morning of the 20th I was ordered to take 15 men and a corporal and follow the line of march of the division and the batteries and ammunition Wagons and gather up and bring forward all who might fall out of ranks.

It was a very hot day, and as the line of march was through woods the shade was some protection. We had advanced several miles, and the batteries and ammunition teams could follow the division's line of march no farther because of obstructions and had to move oft to the left, and did not join the division until the battle was over and the victory won.

I concluded my orders required ma to follow the line of march of the division, and I did so. We had gathered about 60 who had fallen out on account of the heat, and came to the creek about 11 a. m. We crossed, and the valley beyond was from 200 to 400 yards wide and was covered with growing corn. We found a spring and a shady place, and halted Jor dinner, writes Joseph B. Newburg, nergeant Company I., Seventy-ninth Ohio, now residing in Montana, in .the National Tribune. After eating'I wont up on a hill near the right flank of the Fourth corps, and, looking down the valley, caught sight of our headQuarters, flag. I gathered my mei, and we got there as quickly as -tf"e could. It was now about 3 p. m., and there was a rapid skirmish on the ridge on the east side and our division in line of battle at .its base. I sent the men that I had. gathered to their commands, and then,: as bullets were flying around us, I 5fas ordered to take a few prisoners that had been captured back across the creek and out of range. got my men, and with the prisoners started toward a big cottonwood log that lay across the channel of the creek. As I neared the log a soldier passed me with his gun and all of his. equipments. He had but a few. steps to go

Pitched Forward on His Face, Dead. to reach the log, when he pitched forward on his face dead.

After getting up on the ridge on the western side I sent my men with the corporal and prisoners a little way up the creek Into a wooded ra','ine, where they would be entirely out of danger from the bullets. I then took my position where I could see the whole line of our division as it charged up the ridge, and the battle roar began at about 4 o'clock p. m.

A short time afterward a fine young soldier of Company C, for whoBe fa ther I had built a water sawmill in Clinton county, Ohio, In 1848, caipe near to me without either gun ojr Bquipments, and turned to look at the Dght. Before he had stood there a minute a bullet struck him on the. right thigh, and he died six days aft-, erwards. At about 7 p. m. the rattle Df the rifle fire slacked, and the shoutq of victory came loud across the valley.

Early in the morning I went tp where the dead were gathered for. burial, and counted 214 dead df our] division and 468 of the Confederates that our men had gathered. Th6 fcause of such a difference In loss was that den. Hood sent his lines three or four lines deep in the charge, and six companies of the One Hundred and Fifth' Illinois were armed with the Henry rifles. Company used the Spencer rifle. One of the captains I had as prisoner told me that they learnedDf the gap in our lines on the morning of the 20th, and thought they' would come out through It and swingi und gather a few Acorns (the badge, »f the Fourteenth corps), but when, they came to the gap they saw ln-i itead the Stars (badge) of the TWeo-l tieth coma.

SMALLER ARTICLES OF DRESS

Touches That Add Effectiveness tf Costume May Easily Be Made by the Amateur.

This year there are many dress accessories, smart little articles, which may be made by the amateur with little trouble.

Among the attractive and desirable dress Items that may be made by the home needlewoman are the evening bags in brocade, without fittings, of course, but of a size capacious enough to hold the separate toilet articles which might be required at an evening gathering. There are numerous forms of muffs which, in this season of in­

dividual fur combinations, and of those uniting velvet and cloth, or cloth and fur, or plain and beaver cloth, the amateur will have no dlfBculty In making.' Or there are fichus that' are simple to make, and evening scarfs, mantelettes, and Bhoulder-capes, any of which will prove a most useful addition to the wardrobe of the average woman.

Two and one-half yards of flve-lnch lace, or deeper one and a quarter yards of slightly deeper lace for the flchu ends also, one and a quarter yards of insertion, four inches wide, together with a half-yard of black tulle for the lining, and a yard of ribbon velvet for the bow (though it may be made with less)—will make the fashionable mantelette here pictured, for a figure of medium size. The time required for the light sewing Necessary for such work at most would be three hours.

OTES

For girls plaids will not be as m%ch Cavored ^s".stripes and checks with material triinnjing.

Some of the' l&test girdles are very wide, six to eight inches.tn front and three inches lefcs In the back.

Men sometimes wear white pique collars with evening clothes to match the fashionable white pique shirts.

Black velvet sashes are considered rery stylish, caught with a., diamond suckle, using very light-weight velvet. ... The newest Dutch collar closes In tie back and has a flve-lnch plaited labot over the front from the neck Idge.

Many of the new laces show a combination of filet and point de Venis. This last lace is extremely fashionl.ble.

Collarless necks are used for lingerie dresses and blouses, and for certain of the silk gowns for daytime ivear.

Short-waisted blouse coats are f.mong early spring models. They are especially becoming to Juniors and frissea.

The latest mode brings in a black Velvet evening coat, with sailor collar and cuffs and long, tasseled revers of white satin.

The note of black Is very pronounced. It Is seen In challies and organdies for misses and juniors, as well, for adults.

Coa.ts are short, about 24 Inches, although some of them run to 32, and others have no length to speak of, Blnce they are Eton form.

Some of the new shawl-shaped stoles are made of a new material, very much like plush, and they are usually seen in the soft taupe shades.:

Spring predictions for tailor made fjl^ts. are: Jackets, 26 Inches, halfAitliig, tight at the hips, plain sleeves, broad collar, narrow and ftralgbt.

New Thin Frocks.

Among the most practical of whit* irocks lor morning wear are those of Cotton voile, marquisette, and even rery fine crepe. Not only are these iroart and fashionable, but they launder beautifully, which Is an added attraction when considering the merits cif white frocks.

They are simply made, but by occasional introduction of color are made Individual and given the needed relief from nitlre white.

Batiste and lawn have been used for the simple thin frocks for years, but these newcomers will find a hearty frelcoma.
