"Well. Miss Briggs, will you take me
In charge for the rest of my life?"
"What?"
"Will you marry me? There!"
Miss Briggs blushed, and her answer
came thus:
II will marry you"
There was a wedding in church a few

Origin of Yellow Fever.

The latest suggestion concerning the
origin of yellow fever comes from DR..
Gabier. French physician. He believes
that the disease is analogous to cholera:
that it fourishes only under peculiar con-

and that its first cause is the develop
ment Of microbes in the intestincs. He
has received a commission from the

Rest anyhow it is, and sweet is rest;

And near thee Is our births great mystery.

We cannot tell where sky is lost in sea,
But only find Life's bark to come and 20,

A Rebuke to Mob Law.

Sheriff Smith of Birmingham in
his brave defence of law and order
has Justly won the commendation
OF every one. His example should
be followed by every officer who
finds himself in similar position.
The question is,not whether Hawse
deserved death but whether the law
should be defended or allowed to
pass into the hands Of Il riotous
mob. From the reports gathered,
Sheriff Smith had the life Of his
prisoner in his keeping and was in
honor bound to defend his life :.
Mob violence comes from Il ncrV-
Gus fear, ON the part Of the people,
that law will not be enforced, and
shows clearly the evil consequences
of slack disregard Of duty on the
part of ofiicc2's and iuries. Be that
as it may Ne hold that Sheriff
Smith did )fght IN defending the
law, evcH if he did have to fire in
to a m9bto do so, Where is the
glory the bravery or honor to be
.reapcd by q mob Of several hun
drod men in. taking out and hang
ling one poor helpless criminal who
ois only hiding his time waiting
death at the hands Of the law.
Such action teaches dis1egard of
laws a"d QrIcr anl S violenc,

The "clique" business prevails
Elections are governed not by the
will of the people, but by wire
pulling and buying votes. The ju-
ries Of the land convict as much
upon personal motives as upon du-
ty. A man with plenty OF money
can carry his point whether he has
right on his side or not. Not
entirely, but to considera bic
extent is this so. Grover Cleve-
land, will not be president again,
because the manipulatos and mon
eyed powers opposed him.
East Mississippi times. (Starkville, Miss.) 1870-18??, 1888-12-11

Tho Birmingham officers have
made brave defense of law and
order. The example is one wor-
thy of imitation and should be n
rebuke to mob violence every
where. All this trouble comes
from a nervous fear that law will
not be enfocol by the courts.
