NOTICE! YOUNG MEN.

Let me call your attention to the
fact that Pearl River county is en-
titled to one new student 10 the
Mississippi A. & NJ. College next
session. beg, also, to call your
attention to the extract from the
laws in the Code as revised by the
last legislature, from which l quote
the following:
"The Superintendent of each
county. after due notice published,
with the consent of the Board of
Supervisors, shall give certificates
of selection to the number of ne W
students to which the county is enc
titled, and this IN addition to those
already in the college. And this
selection Of new students shall be
made by drawing"
From the above it will be seen
that the law has been changed so
that applicants get their appoint
ments simply by drawing instead
Of by competitive examination.
Students will be examined after
they arrive at the college. I will
give applicants an opportunity for
drawing on Monday, Aug. 3, 1896.

IF sour, chronic grumblers would
heed the following advice, they
and their friends would get con-
siderable more Happiness out of
life than they now derive:
"Learn to laugh. \ good laugh is
better than medicine. A we'll to ID
story is as welcome as sunbeam liz
q sickroom. Learn to keep your
own troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your
ills and SORROWS. Learn to stop
croaking. IF YOU cannot see any
good in the world, keep the bad to
yourself. Learn to hide your aches
and pains under pleasant smile.
No one cares to hear whether you
have the earache, headache, or
rheumatism, Don't cry. Tears do
well enough in novels, but shey
are out Of place in real life. Learn
to meet your friends with smile.
The good-humoreG man or woman
is always welcome, but the despeptic
or hypochondriac is not wanted
anywhere land is a nuisance as WE'LL"
An amusing mistake occurred at
a prayermeeting held one night
last week not hundred miles from
Poplaryille. The subject under con-
siderarion was "Chrislian sylnpam
thy" and verses from the Scripr
ture bearing on the topic we're read
by number of persons. Through
an oversight the following verse
was read:
"Then goeth he, and taketh to
him seven other spirits more wick.
ed than himself; and they enter in,
and dwell there; and the last state
of that man is worse that the first"
There are 16, 400 acres of vacant
lands in this county. In this con-
nectlon the Picayune's Jackson
correspondent says:
"The government, or land office,
does not furnish maps showing va
cant lands. Parties eau only SEE
cure such maps by sending 81 for
each township, which they must
name. Questions as to the status
Of any particular tract are always

 The Alabama Veterinary Medical asso- ciation met in Montgomery October 6, in the parlor of the Hotel Galatas. Drs. Van Es of Mobile, Drummond of Bir- mingham, Cory of Auburn Jolley and Mussleman of Montgomery, were pres ent.

 Whereas, The city of Montgomery has passed laws which require all animals for the city meat supply to be slaugh- tered at one slaughter house, where they may be inspected "on foot'' and at the slaughter; and
 Whereas, The city laws require mi croscopic examination of all pork for triclinae and other dangerous parasites; hnd
 Whereas, The inspection of all dairy cows from which the city milk supply is obtained, is required;
 Resolved, That it is the Judgment of the Alabama Veterinary Medical association that such inspection laws, if carried into effective operation, will give the people of Montgomery a pure, healthful and nu- tritious milk and meat supply, and thus prevent many infectious diseases from being transmitted from the domestic animals to the people of Montgomery.
