Varlatlons-Calwell, Caldwell, Racial Origin --English.• Source -A locality. One theory as to the origin of this. family name ascribes it to the Com- bination of the word» '$coli," meaning the hazel, and ,'.'word" or wood, mak- ing the meaning of the fancily name "Hazelwood." Itis an explanation by no means anreasonable,aand in some instances.it may very well account for the existence of the name. Probability; hos ver, points in an- other direction for the majority of 1 O' ]lie who bear this name. And this time, 1t is theobvious one, a combina- tion of the two words "cold and ''well," This is supported by the fact that in some of the Fold records the original form of the surname is found 'with the "dela" ("of the") prefixed, At the period when these words were pre - vexed,. the name must have been indica- tive ofthe'limaJity in Rhioe the person `lived, and "cold -well would not have been confused with""hazel.-wood.."

I got a supply and carefully followed the directions and. before very long the result was wonderful. Day by tlhy I regained my fainter strength; and energy.

She would sit on the porch at the farm and read aloud, with her pen- cil in her hand, and the children would keep an alert and suspicious eye upon, her right along, for the belief was well grounded, in them that -whenever she came across a particularly satisfactory pasage site would ,strike it out. Their ; suspicions were well founded.
