the bridge, when he. too. became violently

belief that we are. This alarm is caused
from the fact that one Of the most
thoroughly religious and best citizens Of
that county says that no has had a revela-
ton from God, and that evil forebodes our
land. In the year 1898, he says, the great
est famine in the history OF the world will
begin. aud is to last forl two long years.
During that time rain shall cease 10 fall,
and the streams OF che country will all dry
up, vegetation will no longer exist, and all
animals will surely die. At the
beginning of the famine, the land will De
infested by all sorts Of vermiu, and the
living will suffer untold tortures. But this
year Ia TO be one of plenty. Great and
bountiful crops will be planned in grain aud
food, and the harvest viii be abundant.
Many will throw away the substance gained
by the wonderful yield this year, and their
suffering will be intolerable for the next
two years. The prophet says that the low
prices paid for cotton this year is fore
runner Of the famine, and If it had not been
for that. the food crop Of this year would
have been so short that no one could pos
sibly exc out an existence in the years OF
1S93-'94. But as it is, very little cotton
time and labor bestowed upon the
cultivation OF cotton in former
years, will be devoted to the production
Of food this year. On las. Sunday the good
man walked a long distance through the
drizzling rain that was falling to warn a
friend of impending danger. The gentle-
man thus goes from house to house warning
people everywhere. and beseeching them to
tell Others. In the wonderful revelation he
says the injunction was laid upon him to
warn every living man, and so far as was
in his power he intended obeying it, A
great many OF his neighoors think his mind
is unsound on this point. but in every other
respect he is perfectly sane. This famine
has been weighing upon his mind for some
time. and in his family he has talked OF it
for many days, but it was only
recently that he received the injunction
20 warn his fellow creatures
