The Country Cigar.

When the average man has smoked
his first rural cigar he cannot help
imagining, If he have any palate, that
that cigar was grown in the country,
for country consumption.
There are different kinds of country
cigars, but each one represents diff
ferent kind of vileness. They come in
boxes decorated with spread eagles
and UirGndiereS, and other combina-
tions of ships, cannon balls, sunsets
and half-dressed goddesses, after the
manner of the seals of the various
states of the Union.
The brands are equally inconsistent
and misleading. Why a cigar should
be called "The 2.40" is a mystery,
unless it means that they are worth
$24O thousand, or that the man
who smokes two of them never lives
longer than forty years.
In country cigars there are the "soft
moist" specimen, and the "hard dry"
When you bite the end of the former
you leave it like the edge of wedge /;
and when you light it it tastes like
gall, loosens your teeth and makes
your tongue feel as though asleep.
The hard dry cigar you cannot
squeeze like the soft one without hav-
ing it crack like a wish bone. You
bite on it and you think you are Bit
ing q pretzel, it is so brittle. And
when you bite the enl off long splin-
ter usually comes out of the heart of
the weed, and the outside wrapper
suddenly unrolls like a shaving and
silently steals away.
AS soon as you draw on it, slivers
of tobacco get into your throat and
nose, and when you light it it burns
all the way down one side, while the
other remains intact.
Sometimes country cigar will lose
its outside wrapper, and as you
draw the smoke will pass through it
about an inch in front of your mouth.
This will not satisfy you if you are
fond of smoking, but it will greatly
benefit your health, or rather husband
it. 1t makes little difference which
end of one of these cigars you light, it
will smoke about the same Many
countryman will carry one of these
cigars-spelled with an "s"-around
in bis vest pocket awaiting the arrival
Of Sunday. By that time the cigar is
so dry that it has warped, and in
trying to straighten it it breaks, and
he Is obliged to fasten a newspaper
wrapper about it with mucilage; and
then he smokes it with great joy while
reading the dry goods advertisement
that enwraps it.
The man who's slave to this kind of weed
Is o slave indeed.
The rural grocer hands out one of
these "Intimidads" to every customer
when he settles his bill; and it is
believed that the reason most country
people do not pay the grocer is that
they wish to escape the cigar, which
should be classed with green groceries,
such as cabbage and parsley.
The country cigar IL no doubt the

brushed with SOZODONT to keep
them in a healthy condition. The
breath, moreover, is perfumed by this
delightful toilet article, which has, to
great extent, superseded the old
fashioned powders and pastes. 1t is
well named SOZODONT, q word de-
rived from the Greek, and signifying a
preservative of the teeth. No dealer
who says that some other dentifrice
possesses qualities identical with So
ZODONT, or superior to It, should
be credited. Ask for SOZODONT.

REV. i. A. 5. ADAMS, o. D.


Friday afternoon the sad news
spread rapidly through our city
that DR.. i. A. S. Adams had sud
denly died at the depot. He had
been spending a few days 10 the
capital as the guest Of his friend,
Col. w. L. Nugent, while ar
ranging some household goods for
shipment to Oxford, to which
place he was assigned at tile re-
cent session of the North Missis-
sippi Conference. While at the
depot in The early afternoon maxi
ing out a bill ofIadlng, be fell to
the fool and without word OF
groan passed peacefully away. 1t
was 4 great shock to our entire
community, and to many who
knew the distinguished divine
more intimately his death fell as
a sore personal bereavement
DR.. Adams was a native of
Noxubee county, Miss, and had
he lived to the 5th of February
next would have been fifty years
of age. At our State University
he was a student for several years.
He passed through the Junior
year there and then entered
Emory aud Henry College, Vir-
ginia, from whose halls he grad
uated with honor in 1867. As a
scholar, lie had varied and large
culture. In the acquisition of
language he evidenced rsmarka-
Bile gifts in early life and made
himself The master Of at leasi
seven ancient and modern tongues.
In all the fields Of science, pliilo-
sophy and theology, he reyelej
emphatically, in4ermediling with
all learning; aud 50 much at home
did he seem N any one brarch Of
knowledge as to leave the impress
sion that it was his speciality. II,

picces-notably one on the deatA
Of his mothers as exquisite as
Anything from the pens of Bryant
or Whittier. At the time Of his
death he was writing 4 volume ii
Miltonic verse that is said TO con-
tain passages OF real majesty and
poetic power.
A. pyeacher, Dir. Adams was
best known. In the pulpit he
was at times a master of assem-
bIles. As with ali highly nervous
and poetic Datures, his mental
efforts were much affected by his
environments. Hrs preaching
therefore, was unequal--at times
Disappointing to himself, though
always instructive to others-an,l
then again rising into the realms
Of mighty eloqGence stirring to
The depths the hearts and con-
sciences Of his enmptured congre-
cations. His sermon at the re-
cent session Of tie North Mssis-

DR.. Adams had confidng,
gentle nature that bound him to
friends with hooks Of steel, and
in that inner circle his great gifts
and shining virtues were most
appreciated. We join with the
great Church of which he was a
distinguished minister and with
the State Of which he was loyal

Before leaving to spend Christ

lison was looking for a respcr-
table Southern Republican for his
Cabinet lie could not do better
taan to select Hon. A. E. Buck,
Iof Atlanta.
The Republican Senators true
to the traditions Of their party,
played conidonce game in ofdc.'
to get Il date SCI for the iiial vote
on the Scnaoe thrift bill, They
held a caucus and decided against
taking Chrismas recess. They
then appointed a commntse 10
confer with tlie Democrats, and
instructed that committee 20 olle--
to vote for the cess provided the
Democrats would agree to sci a
day for The iina vote on the tariff
bill. The Democratic Senators,
uot desiring to reiard other me-
cessary Legislation in the hopeless
effort Of trying to prcveet the
passage of the tariff bill, agreed
to take the final vote On that
measure January 2lst. Then the
Republicans voted for recess
from last Friday TO "Wednesday,
January 2nd. Hal the Democrats
refu4cd, the Senate would have
been only nomiealg 10 session

ON earth could have hell a quorum

Of the Democratic Sen8tors j.
