Such tears, and such blessed memories. with the scenes and events incident to such q rare occasion, were thrilling, heart throbbing experiences, and the day must have seemed to you as foretaste, bright revelation of what will soon come, when you shall have crossed the shining river and found rest on the heavenly shore, there to meet the loved of other days, and the friends stlll spared to you on earth, all present and happy in each others love, and in greater love, and in greater love to God.

PAID ALL LOSSES IN FULL !

The last year was an exceptionally disas- trous year to tobacco crops, and the losses were many and great, but they have all been promptly paid.
 This only shows the importance of insuring against these losses Many thought last year they would not insure. and would thus savo the small premium, bat one day the hail came and beat upon the crop and they iost ten times the amount of the premium.
 At the last annual meeting it was voted to substitute for the premium notes B cash pre- mium of five per cent, the officers and mem- bers of the company being satisfied that that will meet all contingencies, Anyone insuring therefore for the current year, will only be required to pay cast premium of five per cent on the amount Of the insurance, which will cover all liability.-there can be

Physicians aud Road Duty.

When the bill was before the House
exempting physicians from working
roads, Mr.. hurry of Tippah, said: He
had been practicing medicine thirty-fve
years, and although it was true, as had
been stated, that physicians do more
charity work than any other class, and
it is also true that they are compelled,
under the operation of our laws, to per-
form more service not in the line of
charity, for which they are not renumer-
ated, than any other class, yet the little
matter of exemption from road duty (if
this were right in itself, which he de-
nied) four or five days in every year, is
too paltry return for TIE latter class
of work to receive any consideration at
the hands of the Legislature.
And in regard to the former, he would
undertake to say for the profession that
they would decline to accept any COM
pensation; if they did, it would not be a
work of charity.
The proposition was in the nature Of
class legislation, and he was opposed to
all class legislation. He believed that all
men of proper age, who are not physi-
cally disabled, ought to be subject to
road duty, and he appealed to members
to vote against the bill.

Cigarette Smoking-A Word for
the Boys.

EDITORS CLARION: A bill has recent
ly been introduced in the Legislature of
the State of New York prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes to boys, and imposinga
fine of one hundred dollars for each vio-
lation Of the law. If this matter comes
within the province of legislation, and
there isany possibility of suppressing the
evil through that means, the boys of
Mississippi are surely as much in need
of such a law as those of any other
State. No one can fail to have noted
how the practice Of smoking cigarettes
has increased among our boys in the last
few years. In our towns and larger
schools, the boy who does not smoke
cigarettes is exceptional. From the col
lege senior and the beardless dry goods
clerk, down to the tender primary"
and the street Arab, nearly all have
learned to suck the fumes of the dis
gushing little roll of tobacco and paper
into their lungs and blow it out again in
way that quite Overcomes the still I'M
initiated within a mixture of admiration
and envy.
Now the evils of this practice are
mdIlNs. Ht use VI bOOdSCO pubS a SCfCIC
strain upon the nervous systems of many
men; how much more telling must it
be on the immature and susceptible
tissues of growing boys. 1t retards the
growth and prevents the full develop
ment of the body. 1t dulls the brain,
and renders the boyish smoker less in
clined and less able to undergo the men,
tai discipline to which he must be sub
iected. The habit, once formed, takes
hold of its victim with terrible force, and
the failure to throw it off even when the
evil Of it is recognized, permanently les
sens the will power; thus preparing the
way for reader yielding m maturer
years, to the taste for more powerful mar
cotics and stimulants. 1t would seem
that this matter has to great degree
passed beyond the control of parents.
Is it not duty the State owes to itself
and to its future citizens to do all in its
power to save them from the conse-
quences of so deleterious a practice?
Should not the State see to it that the
next generation Of its citizens shall not
be race of weaklings, blighted in their
flower by the fumes of the poisonous
weed? But am aware that this whole
subject will appear to some practical"
men to be altogether unworthy of seri-
GUS notice, and hence desist from at
tempting to depict it in hvelier colors,
lest these men should put me down, if
they have not already done so, as a SEN
timental slarmist. shall only add that
it is no more unreasonable for the State
to undertake the education of the body
than that of the mind; it needs strong
arms and steady nerves as imperatively
as educated brains; and as large part
Of the educators work consists in shield
ing the youthful mind from the attacks
oferroneous habits of thought, it is of
equal importance that preventive
measures be taken for preserving the
bodies of our youth from the faint of
Weakening and corrupting indulgence.
