There will be n grand leap
year entertainment given at
the A. M. E. church, Friday
night, April II, 1898.
The Forrest City Colored
Kid Minstrels has given some
entertaining plays here.
They expect to go to Brink
ley next week.
Rev. G. Rollins, a member
of the first Baptist church of
this city, but is now in Neal
eysville, Mo-, sent to his pas.
tor, Rev. ]. M. Suggs, 50, as
his dues for 1896. l hope
the readers of this will take
notice, for this is a sign OF
true love to God and his
church. For we read in the
scriptures where it says, PAY
tribute to whom tribute is
DUE" and this dear brother,
though far away, seems to
be in keeping with the good
book. If all those who claim
to be christians will do and
act along this line, our
churches regardless of creeds
or mode, would be better off
both spiritually and fl.
nancially.
We feel proud of our little
paper. 1t has enthused more
life into the black man
here in this county, than
he has had for years. Many
were thinking that the
negro had completely given
up, but you see by reading
the HERALD that he is making
gigantic strides for the goal.
Those white men that have
nothing to do but to throw
contempt upon the negro will
soon see himself in a worse
condition than the negro.
There are a class of colored
people that are wide awake
and they are working and
praying hard to overcome
every obstacle and lift their
race to that respectability
that the world can see that
we are no mean people.
While we compliment Rev.
J. M. Lee for the able man.
ner in which he has de.
fended his peculiar scripture
views abVut Lazarus, still,
we call on the reverend
to turn on more light. III
Lazarus did not die a natural
death, no one that believes
in God will die a natural
death. See John XI:4; Acts
VIII:60; | Cor. XV:5l. Christ
was first that was raised to
eternal life, SEE l Cor. XV:20;
Rev. I:35. There is none be.
side him ever rose to eternal
life. See John VI:40; / Cor.
XV:52. But there have been
some restored to natural life,
see Heb. XI:35; Luke VIIl:15.
Therefore, everyone Of them
is subject to death again, see
John XII:10.

An Actual Case OF Man Who Began

=
DO you laugh? Then you have been
attacked by Il disease. for laughter is a
disease. This has been proven by nu-
incrouS cases which have come under
the notice of eminent neuroIogists.
They have declared even moderate
laughter symptom of nervous hys-
tCria.
People have died of laughter. From
Austria comes Il curious account of a
man suffering from Il nervous disease
hat manifested itself in paroxysms OF
laughter. The patient was so years OF
age and had been subject for three wears
TO fits OF laughter, which occurred at
first every two or three months, grad
uaily increasing in frequency to a dozen
or more Il day. The attacks occurred
especially between nine o'clock in the
CVCniE" and ESQ o'clock in the morning,
and in greatest frequency between fiy,,
and ESQ o'clock. In the intervals be-
tween the attacks, and immediately be-
fore and aftcrwar,l. the man. was per
fectly well. The attacks commenced
from a tickling sensation arising from
the toes of the left loot The patient
would fall to the ground, where lie could
lie down. At the height of the attacl:
the patient first smiled and then
laughed aloud without any apparent
cause Tor the excessive mcrrimCnt. The
entire act occupied about two minutes.

| Generations of children have found
pleasure in Witnessing the antics OF
Punch and Judy, and the mimic the
alter in which their adventures are dis
played stin gives amusement TO both
young and old. The origin of this al

may suppose. hut according to an old
book. Punch and Judy are of Italian
ancestry. In the district of Acezza,
near Naples, the people are very much
| addicted to the making of wine from
grapes; and it is curious that from
antiquity they have been famous for
their love of droll wit and comic fun.
| Many years ago in the season of the
| Vintage, which is time when every
| body seems to he full of fun and froIic.
| some comic players came along
| through Acezza. They began TO poke
| fun at the vinta@ers. and in war of wit
! the players got the worst Of it.
Now, there was among the vintaoers

and he was Ia" very drollest and wit

crs were so ticIlIcd with his witty say
iIgs, all set oil by his odd face and very
queer air and manner. that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter
After they went away they began TO
think that this droll fellow would be Il
great success to their company: so
they went back and made offers to him
These he accepted: and such was the

After time the English, for the sake
