The duel
in the
dark was a favor
ite with duelists.
Two men were
locked in a dark
room and crawled
stealthily from
corner to corner,
until some false
step made one ol
them the target
for bullet or
blade.
Life is a duel
in the dark with
disease. One false step, one mistake,
and the attack conies swift and sudden.
The mistake which commonly opens the
ay for an attack by disease is neglect
of the symptoms of stomach trouble.
When eating is followed by undue full
ness, belchings, sour or Litter risings,
etc., disease is attacking the stomach.
The best way to frustrate such an at
tack is to use Dr. Tierce's Golden Med
ical Discover-. It cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion j
and nutrition, and makes the body
strong and health-.
"I was suffering very much with my head and
stomach, writes Mrs. V. C Oill. ot Weluoii.
Shelby Co., Ala., "head was so dizzy when

She was reniaiKuu
tntellectual. Living at Oxford from
my third year until 1 was 31 , save
when at Lovejoy's Military Academy
at Raleigh and at the University of
North Carolina. 1 knew her intimate
ly as I did her gifted and admirable
husband. They were among the
nearest and truest of my personal
friends in a long life, and 1 hold their
memories fn tender esteem. 1 have
eald that Mrs. Sallie Hays was the
most intellectual woman I have
known in Granville county since lsbU.
If she had an equal I did not have the
honor of her acquaintance, nor has
the reputation oi such a rival reach
ed my ears. I have long inclined to
the opinion that she was mentally
above any woman ever born in that
large and superior county. She had
many accomplishments, and a mind
of surprising brilliancy and resource.
It was vigorous, acute, quick, keen,
ready. She had real wit that spark
led, and her ridicule was full of spirit
and piquancy. 1 think she had some
thing too of humor, but it was less
contagious and impressive than her
ready wit. In conversation she was
full of life and interest. I have known
but few of her sex who equalled her
for her brightness of mind that cor-
ruseated, and her animation and
powers of easy, unrestrained talk
were delightfully refreshing. She
amused often, but there was no poi
son in her arrows and no blight or
corrosion in her jibes. She was often
buoyant and felicitous, and it was
really a pleasurable entertainment to
chat with her when in tier best moou.
I never saw her when she wiw not
sparkling and brainy. She did not
anuear to be striving for effect, but
it was spontaneous and natural and
easy.
Mrs. Hays was too strong, too po
tential not to be prominent among
women. She was not ambitious for
display, did notiigurein newspapers,
and was not in any way a "society
woman." lmt she was brainy, re
sourceful, resolute, earnest, religious
She tilled in a modest, womanly
wav a prominent place in the town,
and was an ornament as well as a
benefaction. She lived too long at
Oxford over a half century for her
manv services and gifts to be passed
over as the mere record of a day to
be soon forgotten. Men receive ample
eulogy and full resolutions and much
notice in the public prints. Why may
not a noble woman rarely gifted,
most useful, a worker for the good of
society and civilization be remem

The Christian experience of a good
man or woman is always interesting
and often very inspiring. The quiet,,
earnest testimony is of the truly pi
ous, the sincere, persistent, unfalter
ing pursuers after the higher, purer.
intensely spiritual lite are almost in
variably strengthening and soul-uplifting
to other religious hearers. H ow
one was first awakened by God's
Spirit, and so stirred and animated
by new desires aud impulses as to
seek God "w7ith pure hearts fervent
ly," and never-ceasing to cry out for
help and deliverance until the an
swering work of the Holy Spirit was
accomplished, and the new life was
implanted in the soul, and the great
work of the new creation in Christ
Jesus was perfected, and the fallen
and lost was "bom again," is full of
impressiveuessand exhortation. Mrs.
Hays was a genuine Christian. She
loved God, trusted fully in the atone
ment of Jesus Christ, her dear Savior
and 1-iord. that lias consummated
amid the awful tragedies of the Cross
and she walked continually inthe way
of life the end whereof is unending
peace joy, happiness.rest and bliss.She
wrote the following concerning her
conversion to God, and coming from
a Christian woman of such mental
qualities and large experiences in re
ligion it is certainly interesting:

'Sallie, you are old enough to know
