MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Farmer Vote Decreasing.

The State auditor has completed the
distribution of the school fund. The
delay in the distribution has been
caused BY the failure of the counties
and separate school districts to make
their reports Of poll collections. The
auditor has to deduct the polls from the
amount pro rated to each county and
district. The total poll collections for
the year 1898 gives some interesting
comparisons. The total collections for
the counties for last year were &c.,
900. II and for the year 1897 they were
sl75. 12L9l, q falling off last year of
sl2. .12l.74. This falling off means that
there are some 5000 or 1000 less quail
fed voters in the counties than there
were in 1897. The poll tax is 81, and
the sheriff s commissions have also been
taken off the foregoing figures. In the
separate school districts. on the other
hand, there has been an enormous in
crease in the number Of polls paid, and
consequently large increase in the
number of voters in the cities and
towns.

At this season of tho year the average
Two Harborite longingly casts his eye
eastward, to catch the smoke of tho first
steamer from below. This year his gaze
encounters nothing but ice-reaching
the horizon both east and south-good
solid ice, firmly packed and anchored {.
The northeast winds which have pre-
vailed the greater part of the month
have packed all the ice in the lake into
this end, and it extends eastward to the
vicinity of Grand Marais. Some Of the
packs between here and Duluth must be
at least so fleet in depth, it will require
long and heavy southwest winds to open

LaGr1ppe's Legacy.

Worn out and exhausted in body and
mind, with shattered nerves and palpi-
Eating heart; no desire for food and no
ability to digest it; unable to rest Or
sleep day or nieht-this is LaGrippe's
legacy. Long after the grip germs have
been driven out the poisons which they
created remain in the blood, the heart,
the lungs, the stomach, weakening the
nerves and lowering the vitality Of the
system. There is ono way of destroying
the seeds of disease and death which are
an inheritance from grip. Dr. Miles
Neryine will do il. It gives the shat
tered nerves rest and helps them to
recover their strength. It stimulates
the appetite, strengthens the stomach,
assists assimilation and fills the blood
with the vital elements of life. =
"Two years ago after a severe attack
OF the grip, I was overcome with nervous
prostration, heart trouble and nervous
dyspepsia, was so low that I conld
not bear to be spoken to, and during the
nervous spasms which I frequently suf-
fered, 7 had no control Of any of my
organs. Every remedy known to my
physicians was tried without success
and then my wife brought me bottle
of DR.: Miles, Nervine. After using one
l could speak few words. At the end
of three months I could talk qnite
naturally and now I am completely
cured of the trouble"
GEO. A. ANDREWS,
Great Darlington, Mass.

treatment for grip, consisting of DR..

Nerve and Liver Pills; will be sent abso-
lutely free Of cost to any person sending

ing that the /. innocuous substance

in the public mind. tits stated on good

been substantiated. ~S .''s j.. NJ .ss
Within the last few months DR.. c.
Liebreich, director of the royal
pharmaceutical institute, in Berlin,
said, at the instigation OF Prof. Vir-
chow, he had carried on long series
of experiments with boracic acid, and
had convinced himself that it was adj
mirably adapted as food preservative,
and in the quantities necessary for that
purpose it was quite harmless. He
added that neither in actual practice
nor according to authoritative litera-
ture had a case been known, so far as
he was aware, in which food prepared
or preserved with borax or boracic
acid had exercised a deleterous effect
on the health of any individual. 49,.

How the Old Woman Dashed q Reck-
less Youths Hopes.
Two of the younger members of
well-nown club, both Of whom are so
fond of betting that they are willing
to wager money upon almost any thing,
became involved in an argument over
the popularity of mustaches a few days
ago, says the Philadelphia Record. One
contended that the wearing Of the hir-
suite adornment was on the. wane; the
other said that more mustaches are
worn now than ever before. The up
shot of the matter YVES that the first Of
fered to bet that seven persons without
mustaches Including women, for the
sake of making the test more interest
ing) would pass the club windows be-
fore three with mustaches should go
by. The wager was promptly accept
ed, referee was selected and the three
stationed themselves at the point of
vantage to take observations. The first
! four TO pass were young women and the
anti-nustache man grew jablant. His
jaw fell, however, when the next two
pedestrians, with luxurious growths
upon their lips, hove in sight. Then fol-
lowed two more women, and the watch
ers waited expeetant1y. The ninth
passer<by was young man who was
raising q mustaehe, yet in its infancy.
"A warm argument followed as tto the
disposition OF this case, but the referee
settled the matter BY crediting one hall
to each side, making the score 61a to.24.
An old woman was approaching in the
distance, and the man who had ~
points began to lose hope, but when
she arrived opposite the reviewing stand
it was seen that she had more hair
on her lip than her male predecessor.
The referee decided against the fellow
who had proposed the bet. .. 50 s szz,
