The Creed of Toll

To-day Is your day, not the day that is

To-morrow's day that has yet to be
born.
Toll earnestly. then, for the hours fly fast,
From the morn.
You have never a minute for idle despite,
Nor q second TO childishly grieve.
Lay hold, and success crown your toll with
delight,
In the eve.
Hife's brief at the best. and its aim is not

But spend 1t 30 well that. whatever i'm

You'll have naught for repenting and never

1t was In October, 1893, that two el-
dcrs- Graniham and Hyalot- appeared
in the vicinity and began sowing the
seeds Of their faith. They remained
until March, and were succeeded by two
other elders, who baptized the first con-
verts to tho church OF the Latter Day
Saints. They consisted Of family of
five adults, residing on the Gainesville
road, about five miles from town. The
baptism took place in Bayou Philip.
The following June two moro families s
joined the church, they residing on
Bayou Galone. There were six persons
in all, and they we're baptized in Jordan
river. Occasionally there were new ac-
cessions, Until now the c.lony

appointed to secure options on tho 1900
acres of land surrounding the city OF
Vicksburg occupied by the armies OF
Gen. Grant and Gen. Pemberton during
the siege, have completed their work
and departed for Washington to present
their bill to congress for the purchase
OF that battlefield. The land will cost
more than twice as much as the land.
on tho Shiloh battlefield would cost hat
the government availed itself of the
options held by the Shiloh Battlefield
Association. The committee considers
the price of the land at Vicksburg very
reasonable, and will recommend that
the government purchase the 1000 acres,
costing $4,000.

AN AWFUL HOLOCAUST.

Burning OF q Thcater In the city OF Eixa-
f t0rln0siav-- F0rty-nine Bodies Tni<en Out
\ and Large Number OF Those Known
70 Have Been IN the Building When the
Fire Started stIH Missing
ST. PErEBsBURG, Ian. 21. A dispatch
from Elsatorinoslav, capital Of the gov
ernment Of that name in south Russia,
gives the details Of a fire that occurred
in a theater, causing large loss Of life
The fire was discovered while y per.
formance was going on. The specta-
tors became panic-striclxen and made a
wild rush for the exits. Many OF
them were knocked down, trampled
under foot and rendered. unconscious.
The building was Of wood and the dre
spread with great rapidity. Before all
the terror-striclxen people could get
outside the theater was . mass pi
flames.
The scene outside, was terrible.
Those who had relatives and friends
in the theater rushed about wildly,
crying for help TO save them, Every
effort was made to save those in the
burning building, but the heat was so
intense that for some time II was inn
possibie to approach the structure.
Even had it been possible to approach,
the efforts to save those inside would
have probably been fruitless, as they
were doubtless suffocated before the
fire reached them.
After the ruins had cooled off suffi-
GENTLY search was commenced for
the dead. Forty-nine bodies have al
ready been taken out. A number of
persons who were known to have been
in the theater are still missing, and
there is scarcely any doubt that their
bodies will be found later in the ruins.

THE MOUTH AND TEETH.

The star fish is all mouth. When
this creature intends to make meal
he simply surrounds his prey and waits
until II is digested.
The enamel OF the teeth is composed
of Q5 per cent. of calcarious matter, a
larger portion than enters into any
other part of the system.
The squirrel is provided with pouch
on each side of his mouth in which
he can carry considerable amount OF
nuts, corn or other food.
According to the physiognomist, a
projecting under lip is q bud sign, indi-
eating pig-headed obstinacy and dull
ness, IL not ncttMl stupidity.

A HISTORY LESSON.


Tho New Testament in its revised
form appeared in 1881, and the Old 1es-
lament came out in 1885.
Wall street, in New York, was so
named because about 1850 stockadc
was built there as protection from the
natives.
The American Colonization society
did not originate in the slave states, as
has been recently stated. The idea
was first conceived in 1873 by Rev. Sam
uel Hopkins and Rev. Ezra Stiles. OF
Rhode Island. But the actual founder
OF the society was Rev. Robert Finley.
of New Jersey.
One of the historical old houses OF
Philadelphia has just been given to the
American Catholic Historical society.
IT is the Nicholas Diddel mansion at
No. 715 Spruce street. The old house
was built about the year 1920 by Mich
olas Biddle, lawyer, statesman and
bank president, the son of Charles Bid
die, vice president OF the supreme ex.
cutivc council of Pennsylvania under
the first constitution.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

II you don't think the best stock

borhood and see If the best farmers
don't keep the best stock.
IL is estimated that grain fed to
snciling lambs designed for the butcher
at an early day pays at the rate of two
dollars a bushel for corn anywhere in
the eastern and middle states.
English sheep owners litter the
pens in which sheep are housed with
burnt clay as Il preventative Of footrot.
The clay acts as an absorbent and
makes a good Fertilizer.
Don't try to hatch chicken with hens
In iniowinter unless you nre willing to
devote time in caring for the broods.
Hens cannot raise chicks in winter un-
less kept in nworm place.
When sulphur is given to animals in
winter it is linble to cause them to take

II is said TO also cause rheumatism IL

A Band OF Robbers Captured.

The ringleaders of a band Of robbers
and thieves were captured at Battle
field, Neshoba county, 20 miles nor tn
west of Meridian. Their latest exploit
was the holding up in regular Dick Tur-
pin style of a man named Hanson, who
was tramping through the country, and
whom they robbed OF 81 in money. The
parties arrested are Van Davis, for
mer deputy United States marshal; Cal
Pierce and John House. There have
been numerous robberies and burglaries
committed in the Battlefield neighbor-
hood, and it is thought these men are
largely responsible for them. The citi-
zens of the immediate neighborhood
made up among themselves sum Of
money to employ counsel to prosecute
the parties, and committee was in the
city today in their behalf.

1t will be great mistake for the leg
islature to make any changes in the
law relating to the State revenue agent
and his duties. For years the legisla.
ture worked to make the law conform to
the requirements of tho constitution.
That has been accomplished and it is
now working like charm. For the
year 1895 Hon. Writ Adams, State reve-
nue. agent, collected and turned into the
State treasury $4,000 of back taxes.
The office pays no salary, the revenue
to the collector all depending entirely
upon the success of the suits brought
by the revenue agent. A number Of
these suits arc now pending, and any
change in the law might result in their
defeat and great loss to the State. Let
the law alone.-Yezoo City Herald.

Held Elsewhere.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 22.-Col.
Walker, commander-in-chief of the
G. A. r., arrived here from Washing
ton yesterday. Although st. Paul was
fixed upon as the place for the G. A.
RA encampment in 1896, the meeting
may be changed. Col. Walker said:
"We want a one-cent-per-mile rate.
The railroads have granted that, but
only within a certain radius of st.
Paul. If our terms are not agreed to-,
some other city may get the encamp-
ment. / want to see it go to st. Paul.
for we don't like to discriminate
against that city. The representa-
tives who, it is understood, are coming
down here from st. Paul will likely
stop in Chicago to come to some
agreement with the general passenger
agents, if possible"
Col. Walker said that several cities
were bidding for the next encamp-
ment. The council of administration
meets in Indianapolis this week, and
the place of holding the next encamp-
ment will be definitely fixed.

A current topic-electricity.
Jack Frost is painting noses.
Grass widows are seldom green.
Sells like hot cakcs-maple sirup.
A rattlng old time-throwing dice
for drinks.
Some men are born tired, and others
get run down by bicycles.
The pugilistmay get himself arrested
but it is hard matter to shut him up.
Even the stingiest man will some
times give himself weigh, II the scales
are free Bachelor
