Mr. j. p. Blaize, an extensive real
estate dealer in this city. narrowly es-
capped one of the severest attacks of
pneumonia while in the northern part
of the state during the recent blizzard.
MIR. Blaize had occasion to drive sever
al miles during the storm and was so
thoroughly chilled that he was unable
to get warm, and inside of an hour at
ter his return he was threatened with
a severe case of pneumonia, or lung fe-
yer. Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest
drug store and got bottle of Cham
ber'ain Cough Remedy, of which he
often heard, and took q number of
large doses. He says the effect was
wonderful and that in short tifne he
was breathing quite easily. He kept
on taking the medicine and the next
day was able to come to Des Moines.
Mr.. Blaize regards his cure as simply
wonderful and says he will never trav-

ut seems that our late Constitutional
Convention has badly mixed up our
school law. The clause relating to APP
pgopriations says: ''Tee distribution
of the whole School Fund will hereaf-
til tie made according to the mum Der
OF educable children in each county,"
and the last census shows that the
large and mostly black counties will
receive the benefit of this change. 1t
cost 1886, 100 to maintain the schools
four months last year According to
the same apportionment it will cost
the State one million dollars to run
the schools four months. and then
some counties (blaclS) will get enough
to maintain their schools the entire
year. The constitution says they must
4 run four months in the year. We now
call on Messrs, Allen and Runnos, c.
G. delegrtes from Tishomingo and AL
corn counties to explain. We're they
asleep when Robertson, of Rankin,
got in his substitute for the commit
tees educational report?
Farming is progressing slowly. The
peach and plum crop is annihiiated in
places. The people are not investing
Ia guano as much as heretofore. We
notice that there is more composing,
terracing, etc. and general thrift among
the country folks Than usual.

Myths OF Hlawatha, Miss Ruth Leggett
Labor Organization, Z. b, Wiley
There Is No Death,
Miss Lille Mcbride
This variety of themes presented
with such marked lucidity, gave US
many beautiful thoughts and shining
truths.
The first speaker demonstrated that
Man is endowed with every talent
ond its exercise is sure to develop it. ~
Then were introduced some beautiful
''color pictures" The old symbol OF
Southern prowess" was next hosted
to animate our southern blood. That
awful ''Purgatory" was next opened to
us. But Millions picture of Primeval
Man restored our serenity. Grand.
indeed, were the incidents recited OF
the ''Ruin5 man has so wrecklessly
wrought, in his attempts to attain
unhallowed ambitions. The great
issue that is agitating American states
men to day" was portrayed with a
logic that would do honor to Mr.,
Bland himself. A .'Chronometer'
marks minutes and seconds. Man
life is II great thermometer which
marks months, years and events.
Farmers Boys is hardened by con-
tact with stern realities to such an ex-
tent that he outstrips his city friend
in the great problem of existence.
Those who love myth" clothed in
VI * utcS' COlOTS. certainly DaQ a least
of Hiawatha. Frequent applause evil
denced the earnest argument in behalf
of Labor Organization, which the
speaker appealed to, to 'sShake hands
! with Prohibition" The last speech
was a brilliant exposition of one of the
philosopher greatest themes. 1t was
portrayed by the most lucid arguments
and vivid illustrations, clothed in an
elysian eloquence.
The music for both nights was of a
variety and fascination that would
defy the severest critic. and satate the
most sanguine admirer of the art The
solos, the cantatas, the duets and the
quartet. all contributed their full
/ share to the occasion. AS on all other
occasions, this part of the program
was success, and needs no eulogy to
impress this reputation. Those whose
opportunity it was to enjoy it, will
award the participants in this part of
exercises due appreciation of their
true merit. Others will remember
that this part of the /. n. /. has never
yet been behind the procession, and
there is still the same standing reward
for honest, persevering effort.

OF Mrs. Harriet Lewis's exquisite nov

less absorbing. The characters are
spirited creations; the description of
English life shows familiarity with
English society. One is attracted by
the utter naivete of the style and the
frank manner in which she voices her
opinions. The novel is thoroughly de-
lightful.
