IN the grocery stores where they deal"
1T Is wrong for the dry-goods de.
partment stores to sell groceries,
wines and liquors. Some of
these stores sell whisky below
cost to attract customers to their
stores When they get them there
they trust to chance to sell them some
thlng else on which they can make up
what they lost on the whisky. Hun
dreds of women buy whisky in these
dry goods department stores who
would not buy it anywhere else. :"
Selling wines and liquors in these
stores puts additional temptations in
the way of women. Most women
would be ashamed to go to their gro
Gerry store and ask for a bottle Of
WHISKY. But in a dry goods store, I'M
known and unobserved, many women
would buy whisky without hesitation"
These expressions of condemnation
are not too strong. Whatever may be
our views of the Temperance ques-
tlon, or as to the personal rights Of
individuals to use or to abjure the use
of alcoholic drinks, the conscience of
all the people must unite in protest
against the policy which could wan
tonly put strong drink in the way OF
women and children Good House

RHEUMATISM AND ALCOHOL.

Favorable Results Obtained in the Treat
ment of This Disease without the Use
of IntoxIcants.
One item in DR.. Richardson's report
OF his practice in the London Temper
ance hospital refers to the treatment
OF rheumatism without alcohol. He
says:
Gut OF seventy-one cases of acute or
subacute rheumatism, the large ma
Jority acute, and attended with TEN
peratures moving up to 104 deg. Fab
renheit, siXty-nine recovered, and two,
although they were discharged with
out being put on the recovery list, were
so far relieved that few days change
in country air seemed all that was re-
qulred to induce full restoration Com
pairing the experience of the treatment
of acute rheumatic disease without al
cohol with that which have previously
observed with alcohol, | can have no
hesitation in declaring that t
is OF the greatest advantage to folio 4,
total abstinence absolutely in this dis
ease. The pain and swelling of joint,
is more quickly relieved under absti-
nence, the fever falls more rapidly,
there is less frequent relapse and there
is quicker recovery. In brief, the ex-
perience of treatment of rheumatic
fever minus alcohol presents to me as
much novelty as it does pleasure, and
am convinced that if any candid mem
Der of the profession could have wit
messed what | have witnessed in this
matter he would agree with me that
alcohol in rheumatic fever, however
acute, is altogether out of place. l am
also under the conviction, though ex-
press 1t with great reserve, that in
acute rheumatism, treated without al
cohol, the cardiac complications, endo-
cardial and pericardial, are much less
frequently developed than where alco-
hol is supplied.

superintendent L. NJ. Brooke, of
KeSciuskO, Miss.

We take the following sketch of
our townsman. Col. c. NJ. Brooke,
from recent issue of the Times
Democrat and we are indebted to
that paper for the accompanying
portrait:
Col. G. NJ. Brooke was born in
Lexington, Holmes county, Miss,
Feb. 6. 1S47. He is the second
son ofthe late Hon. Walker Brooke,
who represented Mississippi in the
United States Senate before the
war, and who subsequently was a
member of the lower house Of the
Confederate Congress. Mr.. Brooke
received a fair education in the
schools of Nicksburg, for there his
parents settled when he was quite
young. Having made fair progress
he attended the military school
two sessions in Newport, Ky.
At the beginning Of the war he
entered the Confederate army, and
continued in it until the termina-

ton of that great struggle. He
then studied law and was admitted
to practice in 1870 and has contin-
ued in the profession ever since.
Mr.. Brooke united with the
Presbyterian church in Vicksburg
in 1866 where he then lived. He
did not lose sight Of the work of
christianity and the importance of
work in the church. Four years
ago. being moved by impressions
received in early life, he became a
regular attendant Of the Presbyte-
rian Sunday school of kosciusko.
He vas induced 10 take charge of
a class of young men. In this line
he became useful, and showed
himself we'll versed in the teach
ings of the sacred Scriptures. In
the beginning of the year he was
appointed by the session of the
church to take charge Gifts Sunday
school as superintendent. The
teachers and pupils made request
that he be chosen to fill the place
and under his management the in
stitution is in hourishing condi-
ton.
Mr.. Blooke has been twice most
happily married. first to Miss Sal
lie Watt, Of Carroll county. in
1868, who died in 1878. In 1882
he was again married to Miss
Amanda NJ. Burnly, of Alfalfa Co.
Col. Brooke is a pleasant gentle
man, a useful citizen and is extern

CATTLE RAISING.

We recently talked with man
who had Just been to New Orleans
with carload Of beet cattle. He
reported tie market as being very
fine, there were few cattle there
and high prices were prevailing
This fact brought to mind the
thought, often expressed in these
columns, that the raising of beef
cattle ought to be a remuneratlve
industry in this section. On &C
count of longer and better pastur-
age. cheaper lands, and milder
winters, we have every advantage
over more northern sections where
cattle raising is profitable.
At present prices a good OK is
now worth half as much again in
the kosciusko market as bale of
cotton, and it is raised more cheaply
One yoke Of steers was recently
bought by local buyers to be ship
rcd as beef for which they paid
$50; for anothcryokc they paid SIS,
and for eight oxen a total of S255
was paid. These are fine prices
and the indications are that they
will be maintained for a long time.
The day for the raising of such
immense herds in Texas is past on
account OF the breaking up of the
large ranches into smaller farms,
and this fact opens profitable in
dustry to the thrifty Mississippi
farmer.
