Prohibition in the South.

The agitation in favor of prohihi
tion or temperance legislation which
has swept through the country, and
especially through the Northwest,
during the last two years, has great
ly affected the South, as we have al,
ready shown. There has, indeed,
been as much anti-liqnor Legislation
south as north of "the line" but
whereas in the latter section this
has taken the form OF acts of the
Legislature affecting The people Of
the entire State, in the South the
prohibition has generally been Of
the local option" order, each coun-
", town or township beng granted
the right to decide whether it will
permit the sale Of liquor or not.
Under the present temperance wave
great numbers of Southern counties
and towns have pronounced against
licensing, and there has probably
never been so much prohibition in
the south and so little liquor drank
in proportion to the population as
now.
1t begins to look as if the Prohi
bitionisls would force themselves
prominently forward into state poll
ties in the southern states, as they
have already done in the North. A
meeting was held in Nashville,
Tenn, two or three days ago, with
an idea somewhat in that line in
view. The meeting was an inhuen-
tial one, no less than twenty -one
state senators and nineteen Repre-
sentatives being present.
These gentlemen thought it posi-
BILE to secure legislation that would
restrict and suppress liquor rtatfic,
and was decided to hold state con
vcntion in Nashville Feb. %, TO de-
wise such means as would best for
ward the cause of prohibition in
Tennessee. While this call does
not look forward to the equalization
OF a new political party wholly on
the basis of prohibition, it would
seem to indicate that in Tennessee,
as in Ohio, Indiana. Kansas and
other States, prohibition is to be
taken mp as an important political
issue and forced into the politics
of the state. An attempt of this
kind has been made before in sever
al southern states, but never in so
vigorous manner or so strongly
backed as this Times Dem ocrdt.

A Miracle.

Mrs. T. 6, Eb,r linc, OF 3S4 Market
street. Allegheny City, Ia, now living a,
kcokuk, Iowa, had becn sick for years.
and finally passed into consumption. The
Physicians who attended her were among
the very best in the city. They did ev-
e-ything that the most gifted among them
were capable OF doing. and honorably
toll her that nothfng more could be done,
taIt sh. could not live over that night.
About midnight death began to close the
suffering OF the COOL wife AMI dutiiul
mother, and rs the friends and family
were gathered around The bed in tears to
witness her passage to eternity, another
physician suddenly entered and softly
whispered, SECT PERUNA, quickly; hur-
ry!" 1t was brought, and though the
breathing had almost ceased, her-,lips
were livid, finger nails blue, the pulse had
ceased at the wrist. "Oh," sighed the
friends, "it is too late; do not trouble her
any longer but she swallowed little,
called and expcctorated great mouth
full; she breathcd easier; she swallowed
little more, and again she raised more
phlcgm; the breathing improved; the by
ISLANDERS took courage, and they perse-
vered with the PERUNA until she was
surely better. The pulse returned, the
circulation was re established, the lips and
nails became natural, after which tea.
spoonful of the PERUNA every hour was
administered, and she continued TO inn
prove. In few days she sat up; in two
weeks she was the heartiest eater in the
house, and in three months she was per-
fectly well. Who is not convinced Of the
unequal worth of PERUNA. For affida-
wits and signatures of the truthlulness of

Mrs. III. b. Hammond, Chardon, Ohio,
writes: ''In regard to your MANALIN, I
have used it. and find it to be one of the
best, will say the list, liver medicine /
ever used, and have tried good many.
When I commenced taking your medi-
cine my forehead, and clear down around
my chin, was covered with those brown
liver spots. After taking your medicine
a short time those ali disappeared. We
have taken, myself and husband, eight
bottles, I think. We will not be without
it in the house."
II. Milholland, 90 and o. Forbes street,
Pittsburgh, Pa, says: "Quite a number
of my friends and myself have had great
satisfaction from the use of your PERUNA
and MANALIN. Indeed, we consider them
q grand panacea for the various ills to

"The Morning Star" is Set.

/ BeaRregard, Miss, has the hest
arranged saloon we have seen re

and securely fastened, the window
shutters are pushed to aud strongly
held IN position by bars and bolts oi
iron. so that no one can disturb the
quiet of the inner parts. For the
first time in long series OF years
there is not an open dOggery in
Beaureoard. We were there on
Saturday evening, and could not
fail to note the quiet and good order
of the town. We were told by sew
eral prominent citizens that when
The Morning Star" and other sa.
looms were open, a dozen or more
citizens would caruu4e and leave
town drunk on Saturday evening.
Last Saturday not a sing.e individ-
ual went from Beauregard To his
family intoxicated. To the women
and children of the town and sur
rounding country this is most
blessed change in affairs, surely, and
ought it not To- be a relief to the con-
science of former liquor dealers to
know that they are distressing no

in their light minds. We thought
rs we looked at The Two old fathers,
most likely the closing of the Beau
regard saloons Ivy tile good people Of
Copiah county, will save these from
the horrors of the drunkard's hell.
How strange, We thought again, that
men like these will hang arounde
the haunts of vice and immorality,
Though there be obtainable there
nothing te satisfy the demon whis-
ky thirst. The presence of these
gray heads at the closed saloon
shows two things: that there would
be drinking if the temptation were
there, and the force OF habit. For
long years these two men have gone
at regular intervals to 1.-The Morn

vell-worn threats the body wreck
ing, reason dethorning and soluble

No merchant with whom we talk
ed seemed to think prohibition
would injure his business, but on
the con trary, it is believed that the
bars of iron across those saloon
doors and windows will help all
legitimate business materially. We
were told that one merchant has
noticed that his cash receipts are
larger already. This is not surpris-
ing when it is noted that the $500
to 81 900 formerly spent each week
for whisky now is spent Tor dry
goods, clothing, provisions, etc.

A Lusus Nature.

We were yesterday shown some
thing of lusus nature in the shape
of an egg that contained to what. in
all intents and purposes, was a
snake. The hen that laid the egg
belonged to Mrs. Henry V. higgins,
and has not been noted heretofore
for laying anything but ordinary
eggs, but her product Ut last Sunday
was extraordinary. A number of
persons saw this freak of nature,
and all were unanimous in pronounc-
ing it unusual. Whether this natn-
raj phenomenon was the result OF
the SUNDAY law" or not, we know
not, but we do know that 1t was en-.
tirely out of the usual line of the
performances of such a domesticated
fowl as the hen.-NGtrhe- Demo.

My son had n troublesome catarrh of the
head and throat. For more than two years
we sought medical aid in vain. watched the
gradual progress of the disease with a great
deal of anxiety, and while following strictly
the treatment and advice of leading physi-
Clans saw my son from day to day grow
worse. His hearing became so badly affect
ell that he could not hear the ticking of a
watch when held close TO the ear. Last Nav
took him to DR.. Prentice, IS Dryades
street, and from that day he began to i'm i
prove and continued to grow better, until he
could hear the same watch six feet from his
ear, or could hear il ticking in ais pocket
His general health has improved and all bad
symptoms have passed away. His hearing
is how so acut. that he can distinguish the
faintest discOrd in music, in which he is
now progressing very finely. In short, DR..
Prentice cured my son of his calarrh and

mend DR.. Prentice as possessed of the high
