In all probability, from the signs Of
the times and the Discrimination of the
military authorities to send Southern
troops TO the scene of actual hostilities,
the greatest evil and danger our Miss
issippi soldiers will have to endure aud
encounter viii be the sickness incident
TO camp life, The troops now in the
field will, probably, be kept there dur.
ing their full term of enlistment, not
for the purpose of fighting Spaniards,
for they are about ready to quit and go
home, but after the cessation Of hostili-
ties with Spain, the political sky fore
casts that the United States govern,
ment will have two, if not three, more
governments to reconstruct, and it will
be necessary to maintain Il standing
army to keep order and preserve the
peace in the newly acquired territory,
for wherever the United States hoists
the National colors she will be respon-
sible for good government. The presi-
dent this week told some of the press
men that for the next two years, at
least, an army of 100, 600 would be
needed and these will probably be To-
Gated in Hawaii, the Philippines and
the Spanish West Indies. 1t can hardly
be expected that the new order of poll
teal affairs can be established without
an occasional conflict of arms, for the
people Il forces will have to contend
with, the Cuban insurgents and the
Philippines, are already in the field with
arms in their hands, and do not seem
to peaceably accept the changed
condition of affairs. When, however.
they can be made to understand that
government has 10 intention to
subjugate them, but that they will be
permitted to elect their own mode of 3
government, they will return to their |
peaceful pursuits, and our soldiers can :

If the retail price of -four, coffee.

vanced according to the price your gro
Ger has to pay for it. why should any
one express surprise at the advance In
he price of meat, when it is a we'll
known fact that cattle of all kinds has
almost doubled in value. By pash, en-.
terprise and large expenditure of money
we have succeeded in establishing in
Macon a market second to zone in the
State and we are attempting by buying
the best cattle possible, by feeding, hy
careful butchering by the use of a fine
refrigerator and by careful trimming of
all meats we sell, to have the goods of
our market in keeping with its appear
ance Only the best 81. loin and round
steaks sell at IL 1-2c; all the balance,
with pork and mutton, sell at the same
old price OF 10c. As Mrs. Darlington
says
'CoMPARISoNS ARE oDIsUM''
but in contrast with this is the country
wagon meat, which in a majority of
cases is poor, scrubby, grass fed cattle,
brought to town a few hours after kill
ing, with the animal heat still in it.
nc means of keeping off the flies, and
sold without trimming.
Now, we leave it to a fair minded
public if, with our facilities for feed,
ing, killing, refrigerating and Sriming,
our meat is not worth more than the
above mentioned, Respectfully,

and 26 days, took its flight from earth to

extreme suffering during most of its life.
He was | vely and sprightly, and prom.
lsed to be an int, esting and charming
boy but soon, too soon the painful di-
sease laid hold upon him, and he became
transplanted as a gem on earth to that
of an infant spirit in heayen. He very
soon followed his grand mother to the
world of glorified saints, where both are

than earth affords, He had the very
best medical skill, was kindly and fond

death stole the little precious darling
forever from us, causing a sad vacancy,
so briefly yet sweetly filled. We sin

TIE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

We read from the Nashville papers
that two years ago that city was
cursed with 300 saloons; one year
ago the number had been reduced
to 24O, and now they have only 1870;
a reduction of nearly 30 per cent.
Some say it is because of the hard
times. superinduced by the gold
standard. If we thought so we
would turn gold bug at once. For
great an evil as that conspiracy is,
the whisky traffic is worse.
But that is not the cause. The
cause is that the thought, though
not yet the laws, of the enlightened,
civilized nations of the earth, IS
turning against the traffic and the
habit. IF a man wants to get his
life insured, he is confronted with
the question, "Do you use intoxicat-
ing liquors as a beverage?n Ii he
wants to make bond in any of the
surety companies, the same ques-
tion stares him In the face, III he
wants to be an engineer on a rail-
road, it is the same. In fact, it is
hard for drinking man, nowadays,
to get profitable employment at. all,
outside of politics. Possibly that is
why so many Of them run for office.
And possibly some people vote for
them through sheer sympathy
knowing that the poor fellow has
lost out at everything else. H Z
And not only is the business world
frowning down this pernicious evil,
but even that ephemeral, frivolous
thing we call society" is turning
against it. Not many years ago a
wedding was not considered az fat
unless champagne was as abundant
and free as water, and the male
members of the bridal party all
went home well loaded. Now, such
display of beastial appetite is con-
sldered coarse ana vulgar.
Just few years ago, on the first
day of the New Year, Miss Society
would don her richest gown--sup-
posedly French creation-and all
her male acquaintance would call
They would with one accord be duly
sober when they called, and glor-
riously drunk when they left. Now
that is seldom the case. In most
cases coffee has taken the place OF
the intoxicating drinks, and the
first is more swear off day, than a
day of general debaucb.
These are encouraging signs, and
we hope that the white flag OF
National Prohibition may yet wave
over our land.

Maidens with knowledge of life yet to

in a world where there are ever deeper

one cloud that arises from abusing life
instead of using it; all, all who are
weary and heavy laden, all who are
puzzled, bewildered, lost; cling fast to

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.

He looked at my tongue and he shook
his head
This was Doctor Smart
He thumped on my chest, and then he
said
"Ah, there it is Your heart!
You mustn't run-you mustn't
hurry;
You mustn't work-you mustn't
worry!
Just sit down and take it cool;
You may live for years, | cannot say;
But, in the meantime, make it a rule
To take this medicine twice a day! ~
He looked, at my tongue and he shook
his head
This was Doctor Wise
"Your hver's total wreck, p he said
"You must take more exercised
You mustn't eat sweets,
You mustn't eat meats, t0u
You must walk and leap, you must also
You mustn't sit down in the duh old
way;
Get out with the boys snd have some
And take three doses of this a dayp
He looked at my tongue and he shook
his head
This was Doctor Bright
"I'm afraid your lungs are gone" he
said,
"And your kidney isn't right.
A change of scene is what you need
Your case is desperate, indeed,
And bread is thing you mustn't eat
Too much starch-but, by the way
You must henceforth live on only
meat
And take six doses of this day.
Perhaps they were right, and perhaps
they knew;
1t isn't for me to say:
Mayhap l erred when 1 madly threw
Their bitter stuff away;
But I'm living yet, and I'm on my
feet,
And grass isn't all that 1 dare to eat
And walk and run, / worry, too,
But to save my life, 1 cannot see
What some of the able doctors would do
II there were no fools like you and
me.
