SHis Best Friend!"

While over at the Cemetery one day
last week, we noticed, just before en-
tering the inclosure, colored man
standing still and gazing with fixed,
earnest gaze, at something at his feet.
He was inside the inclosure, and we
climbed over the fence and passed by
him.
As we passed, we noticed the object
at which he had been gazing. 1t was
a new-made grave; evidently that of
an adult person. We are well &C
quainted with the man, but he seemed
so fixed in his attention to the object
before him, that he did not apparent
ly notice our approach. We inquired
who was buried there. The man
looked up, burst into a fit of weeping
and cried out:
"There lies the best friend I ever
had p
And he was right. No other earth
ly friend had ever taken the interest
in the welfare Of the poor colored
man which had been manifested by
the friend whose heart-throbbings
were now forever stilled, upon earth.
That friend had watched over and
nursed him in his infancy; guided his
youth by valuable precepts; followed
his young manhood by earnest pray
ers. That friend who, like himself,
had worn the manacles of the slave,
and whom he had left in bondage
when, long before the war, he made
bold strike for liberty and succeeded
in reaching the great free North,
where he has lived ever since. This
friend, at whose grave he now wept,
was set at liberty by the war, and he
had gone South and brought his low
ed one to Jackson, where she had
guided him by her counsel through
all the long years.
That life which had recently gone
out spanned long period in the his
tory of this country, and had witness.
ed those of her race brought up from
a state of degradation and bondage tt
condition Of enlightment, civiliza
ton and progress. 1t is not wonder
full that the recollection of that life
brought sadness to the heart of this
colored friend, and caused hot, scald
ing tears to pour from his eyes. .
He was standing by the grave O
HIS MOTHER.

A TINE OF RECKONING!
WHICH SHALL STAND, THE HOME
OR THE SALOON

When Pharaoh was prosecuting the
children of Israel, his intolerance of
course recognized all these objects of
his persecution as those having no
right, beyond his pleasure. In his ar
rogance, he was needless to the many
warning manifestations Of power sent
by the Almighty upon the land of
the Egyptians. The prayers Of the
Israelites were nought to him. The
visitation of plaques in the way of
frogs, lice, murrain, and so on, failed
to arouse him. Let the fish die, the
rivers stink, and the darkness come
and Pharoah was still defiant and op-
pressive.
But at last the limit was reached.
The lord commanded his servant Mo-
ses see to it that the first-born in every
Egyptian household should be put to
death, from the first-born of Pharaoh
that sitteth upon the throne, to the
frst-born Of the maid-servant that is
behind the mill"
This awakened the evil-minded
Egyptians to sense Of their danger
and regard for the rights of those
whom they had been prosecuting. But
even this great calamity was only mo-
mentary in it's effect. They still pur-
sued their victims until they them
selves were utterly destroyed.
A meaner oppressor than Pharaoh
is now engaged in expressing great
people, King Alcohol is far more de-
fant and persistent in persecution
than King Pharaoh. Verify, his riv-
ers do stink-if you do not believe it,
just walk past doggery. The MUIR
rain has attacked his beasts-if you
do not believe it, just look at the dog
gerry keepers, laboriously waddling
about. Worse plaques than lice have
come upon his disciples. Yet they
become more bold and aggressive day
by day.
1t begins to look very much as
though the test Of the slaughter of
the frst-born would be necessary to
work the destruction Of this mean
est Of all oppressors. But the first
born in this instance will be those of
the prosecuted. Hardly family, now,
is utterly freed from the curse of the
oppressor. Yet the people seem slow
to arouse to sense Of their danger.
1t seems to be necessary to send ''yet
one more plague" and to again har-
den the heart of this monster.
The time is coming, however, when
there will be an awakening
too. It might sound strange to talk
about the possibility Of doggeries con-
Quoting their business openly and de-
family on Sunday, right here in Jack
son, and Of human life being rendered
unsafe on the streets, even on the
Sabbath. Yet how far off is such a
condition Of things? Look about you,
and inquire into the state Of affairs as
they now exist. Friends, it is time
for serious thought, a moment of peril.
The old question still stares US in
the face: "Shall the Saloon control
the Home?"

How Watch Gases are Mode.

\ plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the written guarantee of the manufacturers
uayTanting each case to wear truenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many OF

The question of the enforcement of
the laws is awakening deep interest
everywhere, and is being made the
subject Of much newspaper discussion.
By many the want Of legal restraint
of criminals is charged to the Legisla-
tive rather than Judicial power. 9th
ers, and with more show Of reason, at
tribute this lack to laxity on the
part Of the Courts. For in instance,
if the law gives the Judiciary discre-
tion in certain class Of offenses, rang
ing from fine of five to ten dollars,
without Imprisonment, to fine of
one hundred dollars and six months i'm
prisonment, there is no need Of any
explanation in the premises. If the
law be fully enforced, the criminal
will be only too glad to abandon his
crime, after one such infiction. But
if the criminal be fined five dollars for
first ofense, ten for second, twenty
five for third and .fve for fourth and
fifth, crime will not be checked to any
great extent. In the latter case it
would not be the fault Of the Legisla-
tive body.
It is just as easy for Courts to be
made terror for criminals as it is for
them to be made laughing-stock for
everybody. The people know precise
ly where the fault lies.
It has long been subject Of won
der among intelligent men, why those
in official station would not rather have
the applause and support of the sober
and moral element, than that of the
lowest grade Of criminal classes. And
it seems to be problem whether law
and Courts are for the punishment, or
the defense, Of criminals.

A happy surprise it was to Mr.. A. r.

ssAbout three weeks ago 1 was taken
with severe crick in the back. For four days
was unable to turn in bed without help, and
when lifted up could not stand on my feet. Iwas
induced to try ATHLoPHoRos, after all the usual
remedies failed. In % minutes after taking the
first dose could bear my weight upon my feet.
In two days WIS able to get about and attend
to business In two other cases which have
come to my knowledge its use has been attended
with the same results.'
A poor man in Philadelphia had to bor-
row dollar to buy bottle of HLOPHoRos
On account of his poverty his name shall remain
a secret. He had suffered terribly from Rheu-
matiSm. He gratefully writes:
81 took my first dose Tuesday afternoon,
and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, 1 had
not sharp or severe ache left Then reduced
the dose one-half and took the remainder of the
bottle. was able to be steady at work till Sat
urday, when took a severe cold and was un-
able to use my left hand. purchased another
bottle and by bedtime found relief. The
medicine ia ell you claim for it."
Investigate ATHLoPHoRos all you please!
Find all the fault you choose with it and
yet the fact remains, that it is doing what
no other medicine ever could do for Rheu-
matism and Neuralgia.

We do not, as a general thing, to
use a slang term, ''give the boys
away" but sometimes there is rig
too good to keep. Several sensation
al scribblers-chief among which was
one from Chillicothe made wonderful
preparations for ''scooping" everybo-
dy in getting out the news of the
Jones hanging. The town was flood
ed with dodgers warning the people
to wait for "the best account" and SO
on. Our young Chillicothe friend
placed his wares on sale here, and all
settled back chuckling to see the
Standards ''enUy" at being 'scooped. u
The result was, these papers were still
on sale all day on Saturday after the
execution, and were only bought be-
cause the people could not obtain the
Standard Extra, our edition being all
engaged before the last side was print
ed, and large orders by mail had to
be ignored. The edition Of fifteen
hundred copies Of our Extra was all
sold before any other paper aoas ON tht
street. In addition to this, we may
say that we had as many orders which
we were unable to fill, as these other
folks had altogether. In one hour af-
ter we went to press we had settled
up with our newsboys, and we, and
they, had pocketed the money.
These facts show the ludicrous as
pect of the laughable nonsense about
our envy. We could readily have sold
taoo thousand more copies than we did
sell.

A Golden Opinion.

A well-known author has said:
''Every youth should live with an
eye on old age. If he should die be-
fore he gets there, it will never do
him any injury" Just so should all
youth be taught by their parents and
teachers that Pera10, the great tonic,
is just the remedy he needs for all the
ailments to which flesh is heir. Many
golden opinions of its value and OF
its unprecedented success have been
by its discoveries, all of which ex-
press the most unbounded confidence
in its value as remedy, and all tell
what it has done for the afflicted.
G. II. Walron writes from Brook
Ign, New York, that he began taking
-Pert0aG while at Conneauton, Pa, for
a severe pain in his side. After taking
three bottles, the pain was almost en-
tirely removed, and he asks where
he can get the world-renowned tonic

gets relief. Ask your druggist for
