A lady from Garlic Springs was talking to
a LIGHT representative about the boom there,
and was quite enthusiastic at the prospects of
the place. A $4,000 court house is to be
built and large college is to be erected, the
boarding part of which will cost $1,000. One
hundred springs are there, real estate increas-
ing wonderful in value, the crops are good,
the cattle fat, and there is an abundance oil
grass and water. The Cotulla stage runs in
three times week, aud 1t is thought that
within year there will be railroad connection
with Cotulla or some other point.

Why Pneumonia Is Prevalent.

Week after week adds to the roll lof VIC
tins of that dread disease, pneumonia. So
prevalent has 1t become, that many persons
physicians as well as others, begin TO consd-
or it, If not infectious, at least epidemic.
The New York UeydM and the Tribune
contain interviews with prominent phys-
clans as to the causes of and remedies for
pneumonia. DR.. LOOMS says "The causes
are atmospheric there is abroad some I'M
known influence which prcdsposes to inflam-
ma,ory diseases that have an infectious clc-
ment." Usually the maximum number of
cases occurs in March or April but this year,
pr Ibably on account OF the peculiar weather,
II has come earlier than usual Young peo-
pc DR.. Loomis says, usually recover
from it; old people, scarcely ever. DR..
Alonzo Clark says that the exact causes
of the disease are as yet unknown, but
that from records which have been
kept it appears that barometrica conditions
of the atmosphere have as much TO do Will
it as thermometrical. 1t is usually traced to
sudden exposure, followed by a severe cold.
A weak condition of the system, an indulg.
encc in alcoholic liquors. and business ankle
ty or overwork constitute favorable condi
tons for its rapid development.
DR.. William A. Hammond thinks that the
| ulStust, tOBclIltI Ilhy ~
traced TO the ovcrheatng of houses so com
mon among us. When the temperature of Z
house is too high, there is great danger OF
taking cold by passing from the overhcatcd
rooms to the cold outside air. This is espc
cially true in country houses, where the hall
are not heated and shock is given to tn
system every time one passes from room Il
room through the cold passages.
Taken altogether, this testimony from
three leading physicians justiiies five conclu
sions: First, that one is especially liable Il
pneumonia at this season OF the year sec
ond, that overhcated rooms are dangerous
third that violent changes of temperature
should be guarded against; fourth, that over
work and worry predisposc 10 pneumonia
fifth, that indulgence in alcoholic liquor
helps the disease. Any one may contrac
this ailment but a reasonable degree of eau
ton 10 the particulars we have named. and
prompt application of remedies on the frs
appearance OF the symptoms, will constitute
pretty efficient safeguards for every one.

The Republican, Strongest Man,
from the New York Star, Dem.l

The Republican caucus has fixed on Sen
ator Edmunds for President pro TEN. He il
not so hefty as Senator Davis, but he is irri
table, gritty and braiuy, and likely to keel
things in working trim. But it is bad policy
for the Republicans to sheve their strongest
man in the chair,
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1883-03-23
Pearls of Thought.

Moderation in temper is always a
virtue, but moderation in principle
is species of vice.
We should not injure others in
character, because it enriches us
not, but makes them poor indeed.
Reason like time, will make its
own way, aud prejudice will fail In
the combat with the intellect.
There is no rule more Invaluable
than that we are paid tor our sus-
picions By finding what We sus-
pect.
Nature has given us two ears
and but one tongue, In order that
we may repeat but one-half of what
We hear.
What makes many persons die.
conteDted with their own condition
is the absurd idea they form of the
happiness OF others.
There Is a power in the direct
glance of sincere and loving soul,
which will do more to dissipate
prejudice and kindle charity than
the most elaborate arguments.
Our greatest glory is not in
never falling, but in rising every
time We fall. A gem is not polished
without rubbing, nor is a man per
fected without trials.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1883-03-23
OUR DAYS.


To-morrow-what matters the storm Of to-
day;
We shall find the Island ofpeaee at last,
To-day is stormy but bye and bye
The tempest and rain win all be past.
The yesterday was moeking dream
That left US sOrrowful. full Of pain;
But the fair tomorrow waits for us.
We shah build up the broken hopes
again.
Time touches our eyes with tears that
burn,
Aud plants the gray mid locks Of gold !;
And robs the cheeks Of the tint of youth,
Aud we say, Tomorrow we shall be
old.'
And we think of the fair land farther on,
Where life shall never know blight or
frost,
Where love dies not at the touch of
change,
And we tind again the youth We have
lost.
Nothing is done from birth to death,
Our hope, our love, and life's sad day.
Is only a sample at the best
OF all that will come in the far away.
Then why do our tears so steadily fall
When the perfect life shall soon have
sway
When the bright to-morrows ami yester-
days
Shall merge themselves in glad to-
day.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1883-03-23
