Food and Nutrition.

all know that the body consists of
the food eaten, digested and assimilat-
ed; that a growing body needs proper

reached its growth; and that body

SO generally known that every particle
of the body is in constant state of

movement of a limb, each action of an

every thought, volition, desire passion,
every emotion of JOY, grief, fear, or

the product of the food-formed flesh.

CITIZENS MEETING.

The news of the passage of the
House Railroad Supervision bill by
the Senate, on Friday, the 9Th inst,
was received with regret by almost
every one in this city, for we had all
cherished the hope that this obstacle
to progress and menance to the in
vestment of foreign capital in Missis-
sippi, would be doomed in the upper
House of the Legislature, and the
advancement of our State be permit
ted to continue yet while longer in
its onward march by the laying of
steel rails upon lines not even now
projected within our borders. 1t
seems, however, that the measure has
run the gauntlet of both branches of
the Legislature and only requires the
signature of the Governor to become
the law Of the Commonwealth.
In view of the calamity-for it is
so regarded in this portion of the
State--a meeting, attended by nearly
every business and professional man
IN the city was held at the Mayors
Office on Saturday afternoon, Hon.
l.. E. Houston, in the chair and J.
w. Maynard Esq. Secretary, whose
purpose was to enter a solemn pro-
test against the Governors approx
ing the bill with his signature. The
meeting was addressed in forcible
language by Hon. L. E. Houston and
Messrs. e. H. Bristow and Jacob
Gattman, and Committee, consist
ing of Messrs. Jacob Gattman, James
Roy, N. w. Hatch and J. H. Strain,
was appointed to formulate petit
ton on behalf of the city Of Aber-
deem, requesting the Governor to re-
turn the bill to the house from which
it originated, with his veto.
Governor Lowry now possesses a
golden opportunity to align himself
with the progressive element of a
State that has during the last two
years-thanks to the defeat of this
same measure by our former Legis-
latures--made immense strides to-
wards advancement and the develop
ment of resources that have remain
ed latent for so many long years,and it
is the firm and fixed belief of those
who have the best interests of our
beloved State at heart, that he will
not be a party to the act of strang-
ling the hundreds of enterprises that
are only conceived and put into op-
GRAFTON by the building of railroads.
The citizens meeting was very en-
thusiastic and a resolution praying
for the Governors veto was adopted
by standing and unanimous vote.

THE RIVER.

During the last ten days the Tom
bigbee river has been steadily rising
and on Sunday and Monday over
flowed its banks ON both sides, and is
now miles in width at this point. AT
this writing it lacked about two feet
of being as high as in 1874, the high
est water-mark within the knowledge
of the "oldest inhabitant" having
been attained in that year.
We have heard of no loss of live
stock or other property South of the
city and very little on the upper river,
the heavy and continuous rains afford
ing warning to every one to pre-
pare for the emergency.
No damage to bridges on the nu-
merous streams throughout the coun-
ty has as yet been reported.

While standing on the grade of
the Canton, Aberdeen & Nashville
Railroad, on Monday morning, which
had been reached and surro lnded by

that the water could not attain the

several breaks at points where trestle
work will be erected for tracks of

A collision of two freight trains &C.
Cured near Whistler, Alabama, on
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, Thurs
day morning, which was perhaps the
most destructive of any in the history
of the road. The North-bound train
consisted ofsix loaded and nine empty
cars, while that going South, drawn
by an immense "mogul' engine and
on down grade, had twenty heavily
loaded cars. Thirty-two cars are
said to be ruined, and the two engines
are probably i'll the same condition.
Four or five train-men were more or
less injured but none killed. The
Mobile Register publishes detailed
report Of the accident showing it to
be one of the most terrible wrecks
that can be imagined. "Misfortunes
never come single handed" and on
the same day train jumped the
track at some point in Tennessee, oc-
casioning a delay of fifteen hours in
the arrival of the Northern mail in
this city.
