A Case of Mlstak en- Identity.

The following dialogue between y
white gentleman aud "a gentleman
OBJ color" on the streets of Brook
haven few days ago is duly vouch-
ed for:
"Ssy, Boss, l wants dat drink
now"
"What drink ? don't know any

"G'way Boss, you knows yon

'Scuse me, Boss. Fore God /

What are We Going to Dor

1t is of but little use to talk Of
the long train Of evil consequences
that follow intempersnce. Indeed
there are 50 masy that the mere
recital sometimes discourage those
who desire to do some good But
We must not expect too much from
4 little labor, because it may be
said Of this evil a. was once said Of
the poor-'.Ye always have it with
yOu;" so there need be NO hope or
expectation Of .fnishing the work
by some splendid or adroit ma
neuvre OF our noble organization.
We must expect TO work, not only
this year. but ali the years of our
lifetime and try t. icave An example
u encourage those who come after
us To continue the work. We may
speak Of the work tn be done this
year, but VIZ must do it with cour-
age that admits Of man, reptti,ions,
knowing that The same sort OF work
will be needed in the future wears Of
our life, hoping that we may be-
come some wiser and obtain more
strength aud skill BY the efforts OF
one years work instead OF expecting
10 finish it up like some model of
machinery. This year may teach
the poor and weak-the sad suffer
ers from intemperance-that we are
not working in enmity to them, As
many seem to think, but in love and
friendship.
But instead of laboring in my
poor way, choose to use the Ian
guage Of another to tell in . more
elegant style what are We going to
do"
WHAT ARR We GOING TO DOT
What are we going to do, dear friends,
In the year that is to come,
To battle that fearful fiend of Death
Whose messenger is rumf
Shall we fold our hands and bid him pass,
As he has passed heretofore,
Leaving his deadly poisoned drsught
At every unbarred doori
What are we going to do, dear friends,
Still wait for crime and pain.
Then bind the bruises, and heal the
wound,
And sooths the woe again
Let the fiend still torture the weary wife,
Still poison the coming child,
Still break the suffering mothers heart,
Still drive the sister wildi
Still bring to the grave the gray haired
SIRE,
Still martyr the brave young soul,
Till the waters of death, like burning
stream,
Der the whole great nation roll;
And poverty take the place of wealth,
And sin and crime and shame,
Drag down to the very depths of He'll,
The highest and proudest nainef
Is this our mission on earth, sweet friends. |
In the years that are to comet
II not, let us rouse and do the work
Against this spirit OF rum.
There is not soul so Door and weak
In all this goodly land,
But against this evil n word may speak.
And lift warning hand,
And lift warning hand, sweet friends.
With cry fer home and hearth,
Adding voice to voice, till the sound shall
sweep,
Like runls death-knell DER the earth.
And the faint grow brave aud strong,
And the true and good and great and
wise
JON hs4assb right this wfops.

MANY Of our most respected and
influential citizens promised the Ia
dies when they last circulated the
Prohibition petition, that they
would sign no more for whisky. I'VE
would gladly sign for you, but can't
appear two faced--we have already
signed the whisky petition Gen
tlcmen, we will call again; and il
upon the next whisky petition,
which we shall eagerly scan, remeD
bering your names, we find a single
name of you who promised US, our
regret and modification will so over
come all reproach That we will say,

When In The Wrong Channel

The bile wreaks grievous injury. Head
aches, constipation, pain in the liver and
stomach, jaundice, nausea ensuo. A few
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
reform these evils and prevent further in
juries. 1t is . pleasant aperient, its &C.
ton upon the bowels being unaccom-
panied by gripping. The liver is both
regulated and stimulated by it, and ~ it
is very impolitic to Disregard disorder Of
that organ, which through neglect may
eliminate in dangerous congestion and
hepatic sbcess, the Bitters should be re-
sorted to at an carly stage. Failure to do
this renders 3 contest with the malAdy
more prOtracted. Fever and Ague, rheu-
mstisIn, kidney and bladder trouble, are
remedied by this ine medicine, and the
increasing inirmitiss Of age mitigated by
it. 1t may also be used in convalescence
with advantages as it hastens the retors-
ton of vigor.
The Brookhaven leader., 1885-10-15

Some atten tion has been attracted
to the TACT that all the candidates
upon the State ticket chosen at the
recent convention live west Of the
centre Of the State. An examina.
ton Of the political strength Of the
ticket discloses the fact that il the
votes OF all the counties through
which the Illinois Central Railroad
passes is added To the votes Of those
west of it, l21 votes will be
found to be the number, clear ma
jority of one vote. Rankin county
just barely lies east OF this line and
is not included in the calculation
EE.
The Brookhaven leader., 1885-10-15

DR.. Kennedy does not hesitate to say
that the happy result of character was
due to the use OF the favorite remedy. 1t
was this medicine that purified the Blood.
1t was this that regulated the Liver
and kidneys, and TINS gave tone and
strength to the system which had become
debilitated by the disease, and in this
way preventing a return of the disease
which necessitated performing so danger
GUS an operation.
1t is fact that while DIR. Kennedy had
performed so many capital surgical Oper-
atoms, he has never lost a case-all are
living to this day in the bloom Of health.
He gives Favorite Remedy in the after
treatment. Sec DIR. KS advertisement.

The Blair Educational Bill.

Senator Blair, says he will reintro-
duce the educational bill in the
Senate early next session. He
thinks Mr.. Willis and other friends
of the bill will introduce it in the
House in time to secure action upon
it before the end of the session. He
believes all the Republican men,
bers of the House and nearly half of
the Southern Democrats will sup
port the measure. Mr.. Blair says il
was defeated 10 the House last SEES
sion only by preventing considers-
tion, and that it commands the
support of two thirds Of the Senate.

MORE GAS.
The Increase Of the Consumption OF Gas
NeCeSsitates an Improvement,

The Increase of the Consumption of Gas
NeceSsitates an Improvement.
At a recent meeting OF Council, the Gas
Commissioners presented to the body q
communication representing the necessity
of increasing the storage capacity Of the
Gas Works, as the present gas holders are
taxed to their fullest capacity and are hardly
capable of doing the work. The maximum
daily consumption Of gas thus far this winter
has largely exceeded the storage capacity,
which has caused an ununiformity of pro-
duc,ion that has damaged the retorts and
involved much labor and expense
that a larger storage capacity
would have avoided. A new holder, it was
stated in the communication, is not only es-
seDtial to cheap manufacture, but will be
necessary to insure an adequate supply Of
gas.
To-day at two O'Clock the Committee on
Lights and the Gas Trustees will meet and
go to the gas works to take a general
look around and decide whether the new
holder will be put in or not.
The increase in.the consumption of gas
Of 1854 over 1888 was l4,435, 800 feet, and
if this years increase is in proportion to last
years, the present holders will be entirely
incapable Of containing it. The works have
always been managed with ability and sat
isfaclion, and as the improvement suggest
ed by the gas trustees seems to be much
needed, or in fact an indispensable one,
their request will doubtless be granted by
council.
