residing in the rear of Orynski's drug store,

The death certificates in the city physician
Office are filed up in a very careless manner,
and we suggest that the city physician demand
that all the information that is called for
upon the face of the certificate be filled in by
the attending physician The data may be re-
quired for statistical purposes, and will not
then be forthcoming, and the inability to fur
nish such particulars on certified death GER
tifcate, rs required in law case, may cause

THE SAN ANTONIO DRUMMER.
How He Tortured Marion Grocer-The
Result of His Cruelty.

A few days ago a drummer for a local gro,
Gerry house was doing business in Marion, and
was working hard in order that he might re-
turn by the night train to San Antonio He
had half hour to spare before the train ar
rived and one customer to see. Entering that
customers store, he saw the proprietor writ
ing letter, and in his usually familiar way he
addressed him: Good evening, sir. ! have
got some fine -" Here the grocery man
cut him short by saying, Excuse me. don't
want anything, and if did I've no time to at
tend to you. | want to get this letter TO San
Antonio by the night train" well" said the
drummer, opening his valise, here are some
very fine sugars that ] can sell at" mo,
sir; don't want anything in that line Con-

Gerry man. and he cried out, So
-, will your Go about your = business,
and let me alone" "Oh, certainly" said the
drummer. "You can call me what name you
please, but don't you think that's fine coffee at
cents pound?' This was more than the
grocery man could stand. He dropped his let
ter and was going for the drummer in good
style, when the bell of the approaching train
was heard. The drummer hastily gathered up
his samples and made tracks in double quick
time catching the train, but the grocer's letter

THE ". G. r. o. OF Y1CxsBURe.
West Point. Mississip

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Vicksburg, Miss, earnestly
entreatC Christian people everywhere, and
especially in the State of Mississippi, to
offer up their prayers for Warren coun-
ty, that her people may be reused to
cast out the liquor demon in the election
to be held July 18th, for or against the
sale. Pray that the planters and their
wives may do their duty in enlightening
and leading their ignorant tenants and
laborers, of whose material wants they
have largely the care Pray that the
preachers may "cry aloud and spare
not" that they may realize that they
are watchmen on the walls of Zion, to
sound the trumpet of warning, and at
least deliver their own souls from the
blood of them who hear and heed not.
Pray that they be not as dumb dogs
that cannot bark, shepherds that eat
of the fat and clothe themselves with
the wool, while the sheep by the thou
sands are enticed away and devoured by
the ravening beasts Of strong drink.
Pray for the city of Vicksburg, whose
church pews show but sprinkling of
faithful men on Sundays, while her bar
rooms, open in defiance Of the law, are
in full blast. The gambling dens are
thronged, and base ball matches and
horse races are shamelessly advertised
to take place on the Holy Day. Pray
for the thousands of women, most of
them professed Christians, who take no
side, for or against" who "are not at all
interested"
Pray especially, Christians, for the
little children seven thousand young
children, four thousand white children,
whose mothers are placidly ruffling and
embroidering dainty robes for the little
girls, while the boys, from fve years old
upwards, can, and do, walk boldly into
the saloons and take their drains from
the men who tell the w. G. T. u. of it
in private, but know nothing have seen
nothing, when grand jury questions
them.
That Vicksburg is the main strong
hold of liquor, being the largest town in
the State, cannot be denied. IfWar
ren county decides against liquor, Miss
issippi is safe for a constitutional
amendment next Legislature.
For these reasons we ask your prayers
Remember, July 18th.

WEST POINT.

The following telegram was received
here Sunday morning: "For what
cause is my husband jailed?' And the
sad, sad answer was returned: Drunk
and disorderly." Coming to our town
for the purpose of transacting important
business, he fell prey to the tempta-
tions of our enticing saloons; became
frenzied with drink, and as the little
ones waited and watched and the loving
wife sat anxiously looking forward to
his coming on that day of rest and re-
union, there flashed over the wires to
her unsuspecting heart the shocking
words; In Jail" Drunk and disorder
ly." Imagine the dear father of your
heaven-sheltered home, whose strong,
true hand had ever been lovingly ready
to minister to your needs and notions,
jailed Picture the proud, noble hus-
band whose delicate sensibilities had
caused him to shudder many, and many
time at the mere thought of a fellow
being incarcerated in that abode of
misery and crime, being himself jailed
there. Think of the precious, affection
ate boy who would shrink away from a
deed Of evil as he would from a demon
of darkness, being decoyed by temptation
and berett of his reason by strong drink,
becoming unconsciously guilty of con-
duct that would consign him to the
dismal, shame branded confinement Of
a jail. Then tell me what aife, mother
or daughter would not be willing to
make her last human effort to wiring
the curse of whisky up by the roots, and
and / will show you a woman who is
fearfully false to the sacred trusts that
God has committed to her.
