DASvnLR, Va, November 25.-The
Methodists OF North Danville are happy
once more. Rev. 0. Littleton was as
signed by the Conference to the North
Danville station, and as the members Of
the church wanted DR.. Peterson or Rev.
J. G. Martin, they were dissatisfied with
the appointment and do not hesitate to
so express themselves. Rev. J. II.
Amis, presiding elder. had already put
Mr.. Martin down for North Danville,
but by the interference OF another pre-
siding elder the change was made at
the last moment and Nj. Martin was
sent to Farmville. Now, it so happened
that the Farmville people wanted Rev.
7. Men. Simpson and Mr.. Littleton de-
sired to go to the Charlottesville district
as presiding elder, whittier Mr.. Simpson
had been sent.

graphed that he had made these changes

you of two little boys that shows that
little folks do understand more than
some folks think.

every Sunday arc to be found in their

are. They like it extra we'll when i.

of it, they won't touch it if it has
brandy or wine in the sauce. They can
not be coaxed to cat it.
Some one told them that thoy would

it, because they had only promised not

and we promised not to touch it,"
1t was year ago that they signed the

would not understand. Don't you think
they do? They do what some big folks

iette, L. H. Bailey, of the Pierre land
office, and two other gentlemen started
out on the reservation Monday last for
a few days hunt, intending to return to
this city Wednesday evening. Not re-
turning on time it was thought an ac-
cident had befallen them. The surmise
proved true,as Sunday evening the four
gentlemen arrived at Fort Pierre, across
the river from this place, in a half
starved condition. having been without
food since Friday. The party started
home Friday evening after breakfast
ing at rancher's about fifty miles
northwest of here. They soon discov-

time until Sunday noon they drove aim

WHISKY, FOR WEAK LUNGS.

An Emphatic Opinion Expressed by .
Well-Kpown Ihys clan.
In a recent question-box lecture, DR..
J. H Kellogg was asked if he recon-
mended whisky and glycerine for weak
lungs, as an internal dose. In reply he
said that he did not recommend whisky
for any thing except as p:eservative of
pathological specimens. He added:
Some have thought that because whisky
was good for preventative in this man
| ner that it must be good to preserve
people when alive, and acting upon this
idea have become rum soakers. of no
worth to themselves or the world. dc
not think whisky is ever good for weak
lungs, and there is a recognized form of
consumption peculiar to drunkards- &c
into any large hospital and you will
find plenty of drunkards dying of this
disease.
A physician once told me that he
could prove that whisky was preserv-
alive in case of consumption. Said he
had patient twenty-five or thirty
years ago who was suffering from tu-
berculosis. and he had recommended
him to begin with a tablespoonful of
whisky. and increase the dose from
time to time, taking just as much as he
could without getting drunk. asked
him how the patient was now, and the
doctor hesitated moment and then ad.
mitted that he had encountered hin,
that morning.
HE reeled up against me-" said NY
fellow-practitioner. land I rather re-
k1l ~ 80, Dat !, Z
and said: Doc, don't you know me-:
Twenty-Five years ago you recomm en-
ed me to take as much whisky as I
could without getting drunk, and I
have been following your advice eve=
| since. You brought me here"
Now in this case there is no 1ikeli.
hood that the man had consumption e.
any thing which approached it. An's
even if he had, would it not have been
better for him to die outright than to
have existence prolonged in such a
wretched, besotted condition? Fro
quently persons are run down and sup
posed to have consumption, and some.
times tonic of some sort. even SO poo,
a one as whisky, may serve to brace
| them up for short period until the
forces of nature rally again. but nc
case of real consumption was ever
cured in this way.
While visltinga hospital in New Yor,;
some years ago poor man came in
much wasted by consumption, who was
trying to earn a living by selling some
trifling articles on the street. l saw
him afterward and asked him if he
were getting any better. He said: No;
my case is hopeless. butt am going tc
live as long as l can. have my regu-
lar bill of fare furnished me, and among
| other articles is half-pint of whisky.
But trade this off to the steward, who
gives me pint of milk instead. The
| milk does me much more good, aud,
anyway, I am determined to die sobc.
