Kings 14:25, Jonah lived S2S, B. c. He
probably wrote the book which bears
his name He wrote in the third person,
singular number, like Caesar and other
ancient authors. The book teaches df-
vine truths in beautiful language OF
symbolism and allegory. 1t is pro-
foundly inspired story, and a Hebrew
classic. The god Of Jonah is just, mer-
ciful, loving, and his divine care en-
braces the whole animal creation. Christ
read and studied Jonah and appreciated

Mrs. Stephen Robbins is the wife OF

Monroe. La. They have resided In this
community but two years, having
moved here from Illinois. The change
was made for the benefit of Mrs Rob

viaed her that it was the only hope OF
her ever regaining her lost health. :,
'sThree years ago this last winter, :"
said Mrs Robbins, 81 was very sick
with that most treacherous disease, the
grippe. Ihad a very severe time with
it. hut was able to get out after being
cor fined to my home several weeks.
I think I went out too soon, for I Inn
mediately contracted a cold and had a
relapse. which is a common occurrence
with that disease. For several more
weeks I was confined TO the house; and
after this I did not fully recover until
recently. I was able to get out again,
but I was quite q different woman.
'tMy former strong constitution was
wrecked, and I was q dwindllDg mass
of skin and bones. My blood vas thin
and I had grown pale and sallow. My
lungs were so affected that / thought l
was going into consumption. During
my illness I had lost thirty pounds IN
weight. I tried to regain my strength
and former good health by trying diff
erent medicines and physicians, but
nothing seemed to help me. My appe
tite was gone, and when / ate the food
it would not stay on my stomach.
THE only thing my physician said
for me to do was to take a change of
climate, and on his advice I came here.
At first I seemed benefited, but to
my sorrow it proved to be only tenn
porary, and in a few months I was in
my former condition. The color had
left my cheeks, I had no energy, and
life was a misery. I had become a
burden to myself and family. Finally
I happened to read in a newspaper of

AN INTERESTING SUBJECT.

Our Home, published at Nashville,

mass Of literature, showing the many
varieties of Democrats in this country.
This is quite an interesting subject and
and we append the following extract
from an edieoria lin a recent issue of
Our Home:
The old time stump speakers used
to evade the financial question in their
discussions. Before the days of the
Alliance and PopuIism, they seldom
mentioned the financial question, and
if they did, it was only to refer to it as
q very complicated and difficult
question, which only the great minds
the minds of the bankers and money.
lenders) could comprehend But times
have changed and everybody now
wants TO discuss the complicated
financial question. The Populists
forced the question to the front and
viii keep it there. There are lots of
things now that are harder to under
stand than the financial question. For
instance, the question as to what con
stitutes a Democrat. In other words,
OF what political faith must a man be,
to be a Democratic The Lenoir Topic,

FITTINGLY

Persons who indulge in profanity &C.
casiOnally receive such fitting rebukes
that their evaporation is only in
creased. A little tact in rebuking pro
family is often of more value than a
long sermon. For instance, What to
Eat says:
The famous Thad Stevens had a col
ored servant in Washington named
Matilda, who one morning smashed q
large dish at the buffet. what have
you brokennow, you d black idiot9'
exclaimed her master. Matilda meekly
responded, "Tain't de 10th command
ment, Dress de Lawd."
And the Atlanta Constitution rises
to remark:
A certain writer, who had done q
novel of 40, 900 words, submitted the
same TO a we'll known critic, and after
q week had elapsed he called ON the
critic to hear his verdict. It was brief.
He simply handed the manuscript to
the author with the remark:
Burn It'll"
"Hell fire" shrieked the profane
author.
WELL" drawled the critic, shat
will do as well as any other fre-iust
so you burn it is all thst's necessary"

deaths reported, with a couple Of pa

deaths are among those who have ha6
little or no attention, and at least three
of the fatalities are among the Italian

The worst case of the day, however,
was that of Elijah Parks, living on
Custom House street. Parks is aG
A. r. man, and a native of Greenville,
N. Z, Sc years old, with a wife and
two children. He had been in failing
health for a year. Last night
he died, and his death notice appeared
in the morning papers. Friends at
tended to the preparation Of the corpse
for burial, and a wake was held last
night. An expert was at once sent to
the scene. His experienced eye enabled
him to diagnose the case Immediately
as yellow fever. This afternoon the

health have been industriously search

FOR BETTER EDUCATION.

The Daily Times, Of Raleigh, notices
''thst the idea Of Capt. 8. A. Ashe to
stimulate educational interest through
out North Carolina has been taken up
and favorably discussed by the press
Of neighboring States" and it adds
that 1.-The press Of this State should
give it prominence until it is kindled in
the minds and hearts Of the people Of
North Carolina" The Observer has
done it's part In the matter and wishes
il could do more. It is the most prac
teal suggestion for the education OF
our people that has ever been offered.
Our readers recall it. It proposes that
no person, except those now Of age, be
allowed to vote unless he is able to read
and write. It disfranchises nobody
who is now a voter. It applies only to
the voters coming on. It is just and
fair to the citizen and State, and offers
as is suggested above, the most r
tical assurance Of an intelligent citize
ship, and the surest safeguard against
a reign of ignorance.
We give our compliments to Mr..
Mebane, the State Superintendent of
Public instruction. He is jealous in
the III of education, and is doing all
ne a to promote il. We accoant him
tne States best officer, and should like
70 know what he thinks of this plan
