TIE HEALTH OF SAVANNAH.

Although Savannah is on the
bank of the Tennessee River it ia
given up to be one OF the hcalthiest
towns in the State.
By \ consultation with some of the
oldest inhabitants of the place we
learn that there has not been death
among the children within the
school age for the past ten years; ;
neither has there been a death
among the adults that could be d.
lectly attributed to local causes.
Another evidence of it's extra
ordinary healthfulness is, we have
only one active practicing physician
in town and he is not employ ed
more than half his time.

as oil Southeastern Europe is ready

Remember. Boys Make Men.

When you see ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trousers,
Dirty lace and bare red feet
Pass not by the child unheeding:
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll not forget it;
For remember, boys make men.
When the bouyant, youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents;
DO not in your anger speak.
You must sow in youthful bosoms
Seeds Of tender mercies; then
Plants will grow and bear good fruitage,
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen grandsi'e,
With his eyes aglow with joy,
Bring to mind some act Of kindness
Something said to him boy.
Or relate some slight or coldness,
With brow all clouded, when
lie said they we're too thoughtless
To remember boys make men.
Let us try to add some pleasures
To the life Of every boy;
For each child needs tender interest
In its sorrow and its joys;
Call your boys home by its brightness;
They'll avoid gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere
And remember, boys make men.

South.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided that the tax i'm
posed upon drummers or commercial
travellers by certain states Is uncon-
stitutienaL The case in point was
that Of Wallng VS.. the State OF
Michigan. Walhng was whisky
drummer from Chicago, and the
State of Michigan wanted to tax
him $500 for selling his goods with
in her borders, the revised statutes of
the State imposing such an assess
ment upon all who sell goods by
sample from other States. Walling
took his case to the Supreme court
of Michigan and was there directed
to paw the tax He appealed, and
the United States supreme court
holds that only Congress by an in
ter state commerce law can enforce
n irummer's tax such as that i'm
posed by Michigan. which is upon
the statutes of a number of States.
This decision will. it is believed,
nulliy the diummers' taxes in all
States.
