.,Irr CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

Mr.. Chas. III. Crane, of Butler coun-
tv. sends the following to the Green
Vile Advocate, which he clipped from
the Texas Live Stock and Farm jour
nal:
at is not often that / attempt to
write ANYTHING for the press, and 1T is
only with philanthropic spirit that
moves me to write this. Every editor
in tbe United States should copy it,
and every farmer should cut it out
and preserve it. Why? Because 1T is
a snre cure for hog cholera | have
never known or heard of its failure. 1t
is very cheap simple and easily done.
OBJECTIONS: Put one-half teas
noonfnl of pure carbolic acid in gill
of sweet milk and pour down the hog.
When cholera is among his hogs, es-
pecially if the farmer sees any symp-
toms of cholera when one or two have
died, drive every hog and pig into a
very close pen, let one man catch the
hog by the ear and set the hog on his
back between his legs while another
man opens the hogs mouth with a
stick. and the medicine being in long
necked heavy bottle is easily poured
down. Care should be taken not to
dose the same one twice. Twice the
amount will kill and every hog sick or
we'll, on the farm should be dosed.
Now, brother editors, and farmers,
if you do not use all reasonable means
especially when it costs you nothing,
to let every farmer in these United
States know this, you ought to die just
a little bit with cholera yourself"
(Signed.) j. A. DODGE.

no RIGHT AND TRUST IN GOD.

The following timely words from
private letter written to the editor by
that noble and clear-visioned Chris
tan patriot, Mr.. Henry Ware, and not
intended by him for publication, are
so full of truth and wisdom we take
the liberty of reproducing them here
for the benefit of all our readers:
l am satisfied that the time is not
far off when parties cannot be on both
sides of the liquor curse. The expert
ence of the two old parties ought to be
a lesson to the Populists. People are
beginning to think over seriously the
question of swapping off question OF
right and of conscience for corrupt
party. Lovers of God, their country
and their homes, with their eyes open,
cannot do it; leaving Christianity out
of the question, citizenship positively
forbids it, and the God of Nature has
stamped curse on every man, party
or nation, that practices it.
Men have always been cowardly. His
tory is only repeating itself. People
and nations wandering in the wilder
ness of sin and iniquity, following
strange gods, loving and following the
creature in preference to the Creator.
The natural, inevitable results have
always been the same as the popula-
ton has increased. Men and women
who have the courage of their convic-
lions and love God more than they do
parties or churches, led by the Al
mighty, have brought about all the re-
forms in Church and State. In this
our day of needed reform, Sam. T.
Jones in the South and John G. Wool
ley in the North, are the greatest lights
in this grand movement. Miss Will
lard and Mrs. Henry Somerset are
leading great army of women. The
work is progressing rapidly. We are
much in need now of man or men of
statesman ability. l believe God will
give them to us in due time. We must
not distrust. Mr.. Woolley told us in
his speech in Boston we must get up
and get out of the dirty parties, and
God would show us where and how to
go. Now that is true. God cannot
and will not lead us until we are willing
and in an attitude to be led. No man
can be led and shown the light while
he is content to remain in darkness.

Office Hours.
To the Editor of The Leader:

To the Editor of The Leader:
Section 3O74 of the Code provides,
amongst other things, that the Clerks
and Sheriff's offices shall be open for
business on all business days from $40
o'clock a. m. to 1890 p. m. and from
2:30 p. m. to 600 p. M; and the stat
utes also provide that If any officer
shall neglect to perform his duty In
any respect he shall be guilty Of a
crime.
While, of course, officers do not have
to be personally in their offices and
may perform their duties by deputies,
they sAeqld see that their offices are
not locked up willis they are on cleo
pioneering trips. Those Gitissns who
are worried and annoyed or hindsred
in their business by finding offices
closed have efficient legal remedy. 1t
might be we'll, too, for the Grand Jury
to inquire whether there has been Off
cial delinquency along this line in Lin
coin county. An officer cannot plead
ignorance of the law, and if the voters
would inquire into the matter they
might find that some of the candidates
who are seeking their votes are guilty
of willful neglect of duty to the detri-
ment Of public business, and therefore
are unworthy of support.

IT Is NOTHING TO ME.

IL is nothing to me, the Beauty said,
with careless toss Of her pretty head.
The man is weak II he can't refrain
From the cup they say is fraught with pain
But 1t was something to her In after years,
when her eyes we're drenched with burning
tears,
And she watched in lonely grief and dread,
And started to hear staggering tread
II is nothing to me the Merchant said,
As over his ledger he bent his head;
I am busy today with tare and tret,
And have no time to fume and fret
But it was something to him when over the wire
A message came from a funeral pyre;
A drunken conductor had wrecked train,
And his wife and child were among the slain.
IL Is nothing to me, the mother said;
have no fear that my boy will tread
The downward path Of sin and shame,
And crush my heart and darken his name
But twas something to her when that only son
From the path of right was early won'
And madly cast In the flaming bowl
A ruined body and sin-wrecked soul.
1t is nothing to me, the young man cried,
In his eye was the fash of scorn and pride
heed not the dreadful tales We tell,
can rule myself, 1 know full well.
But twas something to him when In prison he
lay
A victim to drink, life ebbing away;
He thought of his wretched child and wife'
And the mournful wreck of his wasted life.
1t is nothing to me, the Voter said
The party's loss is my greatest dread.
So he gave his vote for the liquor trade,
Though hearts were crushed and drunkards
made.
But twas something to him In after life
When his daughter became Gfunkard wlie,
And her hungry children cried for bread.
And shuddered to hear their fathers tread.
1t is nothing for us to idly sleep
While the cohorts of death their vigis keep
To gather the young and thoughtless III
And grind in our midst grist OF sin.
1t is nothing yes all for us to stand.
And clasp by faith our Savior's hand,
And learn to labor, live and fight
For truth and justice and the right.

CIvIS.

A number of the most sensible and
influential men of the Peoples party
are heart-sick and discouraged since
the refusal of their party to fuse with
the Prohibitionists last Friday. They
see there is now no chance on earth
for their party to succeed in the CON-
ing election. and will hereafter vote
with the Prohibition party. If they
must suffer defeat, they say they had
rather be beaten in a reform party
that has the courage and conscience to
stand up for principle and right, than
to longer affiliate with socalled re-
form party controlled by friends of the
liquor traffic. And they are right.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

An exchange says: "The editor can
always write more cheerfully of the
business interests of town when his
columns are literally filled with the
advertisements Of the business. No
editor can advance the doctrine of
buying from home merchants unless
the home merchants show that they
are interest ed in catering to the home
trade by advertising in the columns of
the local newspaper. It is depressing
to the editor to find the business men
patronizing every advertising fake
that comes along, and at the same
time the names of those business men
are rarely, if ever, seen in the ad-
vertising columns of the local news
paper" All of which is quite true.

NOTES.

NOTES.
II was noticeable that little anti
Prohibition contingent, who have late
ly left the Democratic party and join
ed the Populists, and three or four of
whom were known to be aspirants for
places on the ticket, had more influence
in deciding the action of the meeting
than true and tried reformers like
Wilson ]. Price; IL was noticeable that
an illiterate itinerant well-digger,
who is not a voter of the county,
carried more weight in the meeting
than the wise and sober words of an
old citizen like Z. P. Douglass; and
again, man who is not even citizen
of the State of Mississippi or of the
United States, was more potential in
deciding the question of fusion than
four such men as Chairman Case, Capt.
j. F. White, DR.. Henry Flowers and l..
]. White all put together. 1t is no
wonder that thoughtful and earnest
Peoples party men are saying they are
done afhliating with the party when
its policy on great and vital reform
question and the selection of the best
material for candidates, is dominated
in this way, and declare their inten-
ton of joining the only straight-out
reform party in the county-the Pro-
hibition party.
The meeting was not near so large
as had been anticipated. When the
division was called on the motion to
consider the question of fusion, all the
Peoples party men present could &C.
cupy the space inside the bar of the
court room. There were probably loo
inside, all told.
Many persons we're unable to decide
up to the last whether Hon. E. F.
Brennan, who took an active part in
steering the meeting, favored the flu
sion proposition or not. Mr.. Brennan
is one of those versotile political ac-
crobats who goes upon the principle
that everything is fair in politics and
war;" and whose cleverness one can
not help but admire. The last
chairman of the Republican party in
this county, for the last three years
he has rendered the Democrats of Lin
coin substantial service in holding
their party in line against the Peoples
party and Prohibitionists. Latterly
he has espoused the Populist cause
and been nominated for District At
torney in this district. The funny
part of it is, that last Friday evening
after the Populist meeting, Peoples
party men on both sides of the fusion
question were charging that Brennan
was in secret league with the Demo-
Gratis and had come into the Peoples
party for the express purpose of "bust-
ing it up"
How ever this may be, one thing is
certain, and that is, that last Fridays
work knocks into moonshine all
chances the Peoples party ever had of
eleeting any of its candidates at this
years election.

Marion County Politics.

IMPROVE, Miss, Aug. 3rd, 93.
EDITOR LEADER:-Th pot continues
to boil in this section of south Missis-
sipppi. However, interest in State
politics has been about absorbed by
local politics, there being large num-
Der of candidates for all the different
offices ranging from county to beat.
So far, we can only guess at results.
The anti-Stockdale faction of demo-
cracy held mass meeting at Colum-
bia last Thursday Aug. 1st, and pro-
vided refreshments for the vast crowd
that thronged the streets, in the way
of an old fashion barbecue. There
were probably two thousand people
present 1t had been advertised that
Hon. j. M. Allen, Hon. A. j. McLaurin
Hon. G. E. Hooker, Hon. j. III. Neville,
and others would be present to adj
dress the voters, but neither of these
gentlemen showed their persons. 1t
was considerable disappointment in
general.
The interesting feature of the day
was the test vote on the relative
strength of the three candidates for
the State Senate. DR.. J. ID. Wilkinson,
Hon. A. L. Summer and Hon. Geo. w.
Ellis. The total count showed that
Mr.. Ellis received 10 votes, Summers
20, scattering ]. This is the old home
county of Prof Summer, and he was
principal of Columbia High School
for great many years.
The populite Senatorial convention
convenes with Bunker Hill church,

AS The LEADER anticipated, some
Democrats are already Boosting of the
big vote the party polled ia the Lin
coin primary-144s-and pointing to
this as proof positive that the party
will hold these voters and have cinch
on all the offices at the November
election. The proof, however, that all
who participated in the primary are
not Democrats, and that no pledge of
party fealty was exacted, is abundant
The chief Democratic organ of the
county itself says: 1.-THE bars were not
only let down at the primary, but were
thrown away, and the pledge was new
er called for. In other words, it was
indeed an open primary-open to any
man who had ticket"

Mr.. Ben Jones, Of Copiah, who was
a delegate to the PopuIite convention,
and who is quite an old gray headed
man, protested against smoking in the
hall. The cigar and pipe smoke, some
of it from good old corncob pipes, was
rolling up all about Mr.. Jones, when
be arose at his seat Immediately in
front of the speakers stand and said:
"Mr. Chairman wish you would
have this smoking stopped; / can stand
fire and the devil, but not smoke; it
makes me sick" The chairman order
ed the smoking stopped, but it never
stopped.-Clarion-L Ledger.
