ED. TIMEs--You published last weel
my article advocating temperance ant
Opposing prohibition, because 1t is moi
taught in the Bible, and for the reason
that prohibition does not prohibit drink
ing whiskey, and leads to the establish
ing OF what Is knswn as blind tigers. a
much worse evil. Temperance ID
taught by our blessed Savior and il is
right, no one who is worthy of notice
will deny it. Some have either wilfully
or desig nedly charged me with opposing
temperance, II they have done so igno.
rantly, then they are to he pitied for
want7of hrains-if otherwise, they are
not worthy of notice. In justification
OF what ] said, that prohibition did not
prohibit, call attention to the publica-
ton in the Yazoo Seminal of the 20 ult.
| to establish my views in this paper, you
will find long petition to the Mayor
! and officials of Yazoo City stating that
the violation of law in drinking whis-
key has been but little, if any decreased
since the town has gone dry, and this
petition is gotten ny by the w. L. c. U.
This evidence should be taken as good
as to the writers position against pro-
hibition, and what is said of Yazoo City
Can be said of nearly every dry town ia
the State. Yazoo City has had prohibit
ton for some ten years. The State of
Mein has had prohibition for over forty
years and the New York Sun says there
is mere w4iiskey drank in Maine in, pro-
portion TO population, than in New
York. No human law will ever make
men MOI al. and if the grace of God and
the preaching OF the Gospel will not ef-
feet the change, the prohibitionlsts
have hopeless task before them.
Into xicants have been drank from
the days of Noah to the present time.
and; will be to the end of time unless
the second coming of Christ should
stop 1t. 1t is amusing as we'll as hui
initiating, to see to what extremes
some prohibitionist will. The writer
was present. and heard one man say the
temptation offered by the open saloon
when he come to Canton, caused MIN
to take drink. A friend was stand
ing by and said don't say that. you
know when yuo and were in dry
town and you told me where we could
get some whiskey and we went and
got it. We hear again, thar some lit
tie towns IN our county say as they
cant have whiskey Canton shall not
haveit, and others having little stores
in the country think heir trade would
be increased. They are like the dog
in the manger. the dog could not eat
the hay and would not let the COW eat
it. Away from al! such unjust and un-
christian views and let us pray God to
Teach the erring brother the better
way-the way the Savior taught when
on earth.

LAST CHANGE.

Alkire's have offered wearers of straw hats several opportunities this summer to buy their headgear cheap CT than ever before, and although they have sold several thousand straw hats they have straw hats left. Now they will not carry such goods over and try to sell them next year for brand new because they don't do business that way. Alkire's straw hats this season made a great hit because they were distinctly new, so to be sure and close out the present stock they will from now on until all are gone sell straw hats at cost and below cost. If any doubt this let them call at the big store and ask prices. They will have no difficulty in convincing themselves that there is one firm that can and will sell straw hats at cost. There will be at least six weeks of very sum mery weather yet and every well dressed gentleman can afford to treat themselves to new straw hat just to close the season in as good taste as they began it.

MoRTUARY tables show that the aver age duration of the life of women in European countries is something less than that of men. Notwithstanding this fact, of the list of centenarians col lected by the British association, a fraction over two-thirds were women.
 GERMANY's proposal for the establish ment of international postage stamps is being examined by the British post office authorities. Such stamp would enable correspondents to inclose re- turn postage for their answers, which they now cannot do. The principle has already been adopted in the interna- tional return postal card.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION STARS.
How Astronomers Compute the Number
 in the Heavens.


 How Astronomers Compute the Number
 in the Heavens.
 Let us see what richness of stellar distribution is implied by this number of 100, GOO, ,000 of visible stars, says the Gentleman's Magazine. It may be easily shown that the area of the whole sky in both hemispheres is fl, ,255 square degrees. This gives 2,424 stars to the square degree.
 The moons apparent diameter being slightly over half degree (31 deg. 5 min.). the area of it's disk is about one fifth of square degree.
 The area of the whole star sphere is consequently about 100000 times the area of the full moon. A total of 100,- 0O0,0OO of stars gives therefore 800 stars to each space of sky in area to the full moon. This seems large number, but stars scattered over as thickly as this would appear at a considerable dis tance apart when viewed with tele- scope of high power. As the area of the moons disk contains about 7S0 square minutes of arc, there would not be an average of even one star to each square minute. A pair of stars half a minute, or thirty seconds, apart would form a very wide double star. and with stars placed at even this distance the moons disk would cover about 5000, or six times the actual number visible in the largest telescope.
