The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1897-11-05
JACK FROST WILL BE HERE SOON.
Then Lookout for Wealth and Prosperity.

The Weather Bureau informs us
that in a few days Jack Frost will be
with US, as he has left his Northern
home, and his chilly breath is already
being felt, as with mighty puffs he
drives the torrid heat before him and
with it "Ycllow Jack" and his Aids
Panic, Fear, Shot guns and Quaran-
tine, leaving behind him in his
Southern march a state Of rcstful bliss
and happiness followed by unheard Of
activity and hustle. The people will
awake, visit, move, trade, talk politics
and satisfy all their privations, with
the natural result Of plenty of work,
%sociabillty and money for all.
Railroad trains, bouts and other
c%onveyances will rush South crowded
with refu gces returning home, adven-
turers, gamblers, touts, pimps, clerks,
laborers, etc, all after the cash they
know so well will be here, to gobble it
up and carry it away to the North.
The South is rich she has stood this
for years and can still stand it, and no
matter If Yellow Jack pays us IA visit
once in a while he always leaves be-
hind him better times.
TO the native born Yellow Jack is a
friend as he very seldom kills his own,
but to the hordes of Northern adven-
turers he is a scourge.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1897-11-05
TRIUMPHANT.

Tuesdays elections proved to be a
perfect landslide for the Democrats.
The Republicans have been showed
under in nearly all the States.
New York has been carried by the
Democracy by over 10000 majority.
Van Wyck's Dem. vote is over 235, 900
for Mayor of greater New York.
The Democrats have made large
gains in New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland,
and won a brilliant victory in Ken
lucky. Virginia, as was expected,
gave a Democratic majority of so, 900.
Colorado and Nebraska were carried
by a combination of Democrats and
Populists.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1897-11-05
HOW FROST FORMS.

Frost is nothing but frozen dew,
and that Can come only when the ten.
peratureo of the object upon which the
frost exists is down to 81 degrees.
Hence it is that when the first frost
appears it Is seen on some objects and
not on Others. 1t appears on those
first which have the greatest property
of radiating heat, and hence if a man
would place a large piece Of silver out
in the night air and have moisture
around it this would show frost be.
fore it would be shown upon sub
stances having a less quality Of radia-
tion. Hence it is that there can be
no fixed point given at which the
thermometer will register and say
there will be frost. When the ground
is moist and there is no wind there
will be a wider variation bctwe n the
thermometer and the appearance Of
frost than when there is Il wind and
the ground is dry. When there is no
wind the cool air will naturally settle
down near the surface on the ground,
and the thermometer on the top of
the Customhouse building might
show 10 degrees above 30 and there
could be Il frost, but when the air is
stirred by wind this difference IS re-
duced and under some conditions
there will be little or no difference
between the ground temperature and
that high In the air.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1897-11-05

reasons 10 believe that you have 1t in
Scranton. The deaths and distress
your people have had are solemn
proofs OF this. Now, we have carried
On u very liberal quarantine, and 50
far IL has been successful. Why not
aid us all you can To prevent our pco-
pie from having the terrible expert
cnce your people are having.
There is no question but that the
fight and newspaper controversy or
Blaine and others against Garfield was
the cause or %instigated Guiteau in
numbering the President, and the
sings in your paper and the hard say
ings OF some Of your people may have
been the cause or instigated the hood
llm in writing the name OF our little
girl on the coffin mentioned above, and
to the other hoodlums in cutting the
wires and burning the railroad bridge.
Blaine had no wish or idea Of murder
ing Garfield, and perhaps many Of
your slings are intended us only as
jests or sarcasm, but the outlaws see
and hear these things and they feel
called on to resent what they have
been led to believe was u wrong done
them.
Now, In conclusion, let me say that
our territory IS off to M side. All
your people have the world to 60 in,
except our little territory. Our peo-
pie are willing to be shut in here until

DEATH OF BX-ATTORNEY- GENERAL
FORD.

At $50 p. N. on Monday, November
/, 1897, after a weeks Illness from the
prevailing fever and heart trouble
borne with Christian f0rtitude, Gen.
Thomas Swift Ford surrendered his
spirit into the hands OF his Maker.
At the time Of his demise Gen. Ford
was so years, I months and p days old.
After brilliant legal studies he mar
ried Miss Clarissa RawlS on Dec. 10,
1877, and from their union were born
nine children, six girls and three boys,
one Of whom, II. 5. Ford, Jr., OF some
IS years is now completing his educa-
tion at Monticello, this State.
The deceased had filed with ability
and credit two important State offices.
During eight years he discharged the
duties Of district attorney for the
sixth judicial district. and during two
years supplied the vacant incumbency
as Acknowledgement, and was Il mem
Der of the Lower House of The Legis-
lature, and also represented the State
in the last Constitutional Convention.
To his varied mental and social ac-
cOmplishments, Gen. Ford united many
sterling traits Of character that won
for him the esteem and affection of IA
large circle Of friends and numerous
clients, who appreciated his skillful
services at the judicial bar. Taking
always a lively interest in all public
improvements, which he manifested
on several occasions, he succeeded in
raising the standard of education
given in the public school Of Column
bia, his native town, in Marion county.
lie had moved with his family from
Columbia last December to the i'm
mediate vicinity Of Scranton, where
he lived on a large property on the
Pascag0ula river, known as "Villa
Ada which he purchased from the
Mutual National Bank Of New Or
leans. During his years sojourn in
our midst the community had learned
to look upon him as a most estimable
and public spirited citizen.
TO the family of his late wife, his
nine children, his brother, DR.. r. b.
Ford, and his two nephews, Messrs. J.
Ira and T. r. Ford, the DEMOCRAT
STAR and the community extend the
s%incerest expressions of coincidence in
their sad bereavement.
Although the General was a devout
and consistent member of the Metlo-
dist church, and Superintendent of
the Sunday-school of his church here,
in the absence Of IA minister OF his
faith, the burial service was conduct
ed by Rev. c. j. Broders, pastor of the
Lutheran church here, assisted by
Rev. L. N. Brock, Baptist minister.
Quite a large number of friends and
l%cquaintances were present to pay d
last sad tribute to the memory of this
most worthy citizen.
His remains were temporarily inter-
red on his property.
