Indigestion

s not only distressing complaint, Of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsapariIIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich:
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years | suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost TO a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until / commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla l could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, / found myself a we'll
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life"

Don't encourage the candidate idea,

"BOys, Let Whisky Alone

Men and women, ministers of the
gospel and earnest-hearted people
for many long years have repeated
this admonition again and again.
Too often has it been received with
sneers and scorn and little "whisper-
ed asides" of "these religious, over
pious people," "these women with
their heads turned" these "fanatics," )"
etc. Even Webster's old blue back
spelling book says" Strong drink will
debase man." and all this has been
talked and talked about and written
about with seemin giy little effect.
Well, maybe minister, whose duty
the world comedies it to be to "preach
down" allsinfulness, or II frail little
woman who "deesn't know the temp
tations of men" and has nerev been
drunk, cannot make the requisite i'm
preston upon those concerned, nor
bring about the desired effects but
listen, now, young men! Hear cry
from the lowest depths of infamy and
crime and disgrace Hear a cry
from an agonizing soul, to be launch
ed the next moment into eternity
Hear him The murderer of his wife
and two beautiful little girls! Hear
Richard Hawes, as he stands on the
gallows, bearing upon his broad
shoulders, upon his sim stained heart,
upon that handsome brow the burden
of the fruits of-aohisky "BOys, let
whisky alone" Methinks it is the
cry of the rich man in purgatory, to
his brethren yet free, to choose hap
pier destiny. Ere you again taste the
wine-cup, think of the lost soul of
Richard Hawes, think of the cold,
dark waters that swallowed up the
sweet young lives of his two little
girls, think of the ruin wrought by
whisky upon his first wife, famed for
beauty and intelligence; and then
think, if you can, of the blighted
hopes, the broken faith, the love so
cruelty crushed out of the life of one
of our own Mississippi girls; and, dear /
young friend, set down your glass
and never again, as long as God let's
you live, touch the damning stuff that
so surely ruins soul and body, and
sorecks the hires Of the pure and ianO-
cent.

All minded, right thinking
people will heartily endorse the action
of Governor Stone in refusing to turn
the negro murderer Thomas over to
the Smith county authorities simply
to be mobbed. Governor Seay, OF
Alabama, stood by Sheriff Smith for
magnifying the law and defending the
notorious murderer Hawes, even
though it cost several lives to do it,
but it taught the people needed les
son. Mississippi is to be congratu-
lated that she has q Governor at last
who is made out of the same ma
terial, and who, while insisting upon
the punishment of crime, demands
that justice shall be meted out in the
lawful way.

An Important Local Act.

The Legislature has passed an act
of much consequence to the land own
ers of Lincoln county. 1t is entitled
"An Act supplemental to an act to
remedy some of the evils arising from
the destruction of the records of the
counties of Pike and Lincoln in the
burning of the court houses thereof"
so far MS the same concerns Lincoln
county. The act provides:
LIST. The assessor is required, while
making the assessment of 1890, to re-
quest of all persons an inspection OF
all deeds aud other muniments of title
in their possession which includes
land in this county, with a view of
seeing whether it is now of record; il
not of record, the assessor, with the
owners consent, is to deposit it with
the Ckanccry Clerk for record, and
that officer is to record it, WithOut er-
pense to the OrRcr. and return the deed
to the person from whom it was re-
ceivcd. This is true no matter how
old the deed.
2d. The clerks of the Chancery
Courts of the counties of Lawrence,
Copiah. Franklin and Amite, 1.-THE
records of Pike having been burned
from which counties Lincoln was
made, arc required to carefully eN'
anime the record of deeds in their re.
spcctive counties and to make list
of all deeds containing lands now il
Lincoln county, recorded before Lin.
coin county was created, and send the
same to the Chancery clerk of this
county, who, upon its receipt, is to
strike from it all deeds now of record
in his county, or filed for record.
These lists are then to be returned to
to the clerks who made them, and
said clerks are to procure deed books
and transcribe into them all deeds
not stricken from the list aforesaid
and place the books when completed
on file among and as part of Lincoln
county records.
Sd. The Board of Supervisors OF
this county arc required to obtain
from the United States Land Office a
''book of original entries" showing
who had entered, and the date there
of, all lands in this county; and to
obtain from the Auditor of Public
Accounts, a book showing the condi-
ton of all State tax titles to land in
this county.
4th. Reasonable compensation is to
be paid to the officers for services
rendered under this act by the Board
of Supervisors of Lincoln County;
the assessors fee for deeds deposited
by him with the Chancery Clerk is
fixed: the clerk of Lincoln county is
to be paid % cents each for recording
deeds so deposited by the assessor
and his fee for each deed he strikes
from the list sent him 10y the clerks
of the other counties is also fixed.
Our Board of Supervisors are TO de
termiue all other fees.
=. 5th. The Chancery Clerk of Lin
coin county is to carefully examine
the whole of the record of deeds in
his office, and see that each one is
correctly indexed, both direct and
reverse, on the general index of deeds.
This is very important, and it is to be
hoped that it will bewcll done. This
is to embrace the books brought from
the other counties under the act, and
Mr.. May ought, without reference to
expense, to see the work done SO that
it will remain a monument to his oc-
cupancy of the Office.

4 Dnmpcr on the jug Trade.

In another column will be found the
full text of an Act passed by the Leg
islature at its recent session, which is
destined to fall with heavy thud on
the jug trade which has flourished in
many Prohibition towns and counties
since the Supreme Court rendered its
noted decision in the Pamela county
case. 1t was intended by its author
to meet that decision, on which not
few liquor sellers specially prided
themselves, and it covers the case like
Il wet blanket.
Whatever the Legislature of 1890
may have failed to do, the Prohibi-
tionists of Mississippi can congratu-
late themselves upon having secured
this Act, which, in the language of its
title, secures the benefits Of Prohibit
ton to counties and municipalities
,chere the sale Of Intoxicating liquors is
prohibited by la,r."
Under the decision of the Supreme
Court above referred to, saloon keep
crs and their agents had boldly enter
ed many of the towns and counties
where the people had voted out the
sale of liquor or had it prohibited by
special statute, and worked up a reg
ular business. In some instances
these whisky sellers would order
whisky in their own care to fictitious
names, let it lie in the express Office
until they could drum up cash pur-
chasers, and then, as "a matter of ac-
cOmmodation," pretend to let them
have some one else's jug. In other in
stances the telegraph wires were kept
hot by these whisky agents ordering
jugs by the first train, and 25 cents in
addition to the price of the whisky
was collected from each customer to
pay for kilograms.
This law breaks all this up. And it
not only makes it unlawful for any
person to sell or to solicit orders for
liquor in any Prohibition territory in
the State, but it explicitly declares
that sit shall be unlawful for any per-
son to act as an agent or to be the
assistant Of either seller or purchaser in
efectiag the purchase or sale Of such
prohibited liquor" etc.
The framer of the bill, who is one
of the foremost lawyers of the State,
says this inhibition was intended to,
and does, extend not only to the So
licitor and seller, but to railroad, ex-
press and telegraph companies and
their agents, to publishers and others
who advertise saloons, and to all who,
in any way, assist either purchaser or
seller. One thing is at least clear,
and that is that every man who wants
whisky will have to act as his own
agent. 1t will not be safe for mer-
chants or any other business men to
order liqnor for others.
The penalty for violations OF this
law is the same as under the local
option law, which includes both fine
and imprisonment.
All parties interested should take
due notice. 1t is the purpose of the
Lincoln county ProhibitiOnists to sec
that the law is enforced to the letter.

WHY ?

Cannot one of our esteemed cOtem-
pOrarics, the Commonwealth or New
Mississippian, explain the real reasons
that defeated the Dean Prison bill in
the House of Representatives? 1t is
so impossible to imagine any real rea-
son connected with the public morals
and public good which could justify
opposition to it, that its defeat sug-
gests the idea that the real grounds
of opposition must haye been below
the surface.

The disagreement over the election
for City Marshal last Tuesday by the
new Board, we are persuaded, arose
rather from an honest difference OF
opinion as to which of the two candi-

sire to be factious, but the spirit to
rule or ruin manifested by one mem
Der of the board is certainly to be
