, Many Negroes go to Mississippi.

GREENWOOD, Dec. 20.-The negroes
of this county show a decided dispo-
sgtion to emigrate. Several hundred
are likely to leave within few weeks.
The exodus ,mmenced week ago.,
when two cars filed with negro fam
lilies left for lower Mississippi. An
other car left Sunday night. The 100
negroes that have gone went from the
Saluda section and several farms there
are practically tenantless. More are
going from the same place.
Que A. W. Williams is the agent
who is taking off SO many of the
eolored population. He has taken q
contract 60 place several hundred
negro families with the planters in
Southern Mississippi. For several
reasons he selected Greenwood county
as good field for his business.
There is no denying the fact that
tie negroes in the populous sections
Of ehis county are badly demoralized.
sTney are in some places still panic
stricken on account of the Phoenix
trnuble They have not been molest-
ed but have the uureasouing fear Of
their real friends SO commnn tn igno-
ralce. The negroes Of Saluda, Ninety
Six and Phoenix will hardly make
contracts for another year.
+ The financial depression has borne
heavily on the negroes. making them
mora dishearteurd! The merchants
have enforced collections to the des-
titutiop Of many families.
Under thecircumstances this exodus
is expected to thin out the over-abun-
daut negro population of this county
considerably. 1t is thecolored renters
who are getting off. Asa consequence
some Of the best land in the county
will be occurred by white renters
hereafter.-The State. ~

Hot Brick for Mrs. Mckinley.

ATLANTA, GA. Dec. 18-An act of
thoughtfulness on the part of an old
negress here for the comfort of 'sde
fust lady Of de land has secured her
a much coveted position on the white
house kitchen staff.
On the first day of the peace jubi-
lee the thermometer was very low, the
air was damp and the ladies of the
presidential party yer dubious about
participating in the floral parade.
Owing to her delicate state of health
Mrs. Mckinley was 10th to expose
herself, but not wishing to disappoiut
those who had reckoned on her ap-
pearance braved the chill and rode
out in an open carriage.
Her carriage had just passed under
the jubilee arch, and Was compelled
to stop for few minutes on account
OF the crush, when "Aunt Martha.
a we'll known and respectable ole
negress Of this city, advanced from
the packed mass with bundle in bel
hands. Going straight up to the pres
idential carriage, she said to Mrs.
Mckinley:
'Missus, it's too cold for you to bt
out today, and Use brought you hot
brick to keep your feet warm, adjust
ing the brick at the same time. So
touched was the ,ife Of the president
by this simple little attention, thai
she Investigated the qualifications Of
the old woman and before she left At
lauta rendered her position. Aunt
Martha relates the incident with much
pride and has attained newimportance
among the Negroes. Baltimore San

A horse in the lead pulls in vain when
the wheel horse lays back in the breechirig
A mans body is good deal like team Of
horses. and must work harmoniously. The
head may want to work, and strive ever 50
hard to work. but if the body is balky and
sick the head will make no progress.
The man who is out of condition physical
ly may as we'll give up trying to work men,
tally. He will not be able to do good work,
or satisfactory work. and in tie endeavor to
do so will only do himself further harm.
The reason that men have nervous exhaus-
tion and prostration is that they try to work
the brain when the body is balky The
right thing for man to do when he finds
heis out of sorts physically is to give the
nlind little rest and promptly resort to
the right remedy for his physical ailments.
DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the best of all medicines for balky body.
When the head aches, the appetite is poor,
the sleep is restless, the nerves are shaky
and both body and brain suffer from dull
ness and !assitude, it is time TO resort to
this great remedy. Itrestores the appetite,
corrects all disorders of the digestion,
liver and purifcs and nOurishes the blood.
Il is the great blood maker and flesh
builder It is the best of nerve tonics and
Iestorativcs. 1t makes both body and brain
alert and active. Medicine dealers have
nothing just as good.

Biblical Teaching About Heaven.

1t is not as complete or as definite
as we often wish it we're. But douhl-
less we shall perceive at last that God
has revealed to US as much about
Heaven as it is necessary and best
that we should know in this life. The
Bible seems to speak distinctly, and
more than once, of Heaven as a def
mite place. 1t is the special center
aud abode of the Divine Presence. 1t
is the home Of Jesus Christ. Itis
tae realm into which are to be gather
ed the multitude of redeemed souls,
who are to dwell there forever in hap
pincss unalloyed.
But it is more than this, or rather.
different from this. In real sense it
is state of mind and being. Proba-
bly, soul thoroughly pervaded by the
spirit Of Heaven could be truly happy
anywhere. Certainly no soul still
voluntarily indulging in any form of
sin could be truly happy in the most
Heavenly of realms. 1t may be, and
doubtless it is a place. 1t certainly
must be also condition of mind and
heart. Holiness makes Heaven, and
without holiness there can be no Heav-
en- for anyone.
These, then. are the questions for
each of us to ask himself: Am I in
sympathy with that which makes
Heaven what it is? Should I be at
ease in spirit, and find it my natural
and fitting home, we're 1 to be trans.
ported thither Immediately? Have I,
in spite of my weaknesses and faults,
something of true holiness in y
heart, to make which the ruling char
acteristic' Of my life is my chief effort
day by day? Many Of us are content
to live respectable and in many ways
even honorable lives, who nevertheless
think little and strive less to become
holy But Heaven demands holiness.

Called to Her Long Home.

Again it becomes our sad duty to
chronicle the sad intelligence of the
death OF one of Catawissa's beloved
residents, Mrs. George S. Gilbert,
which occurred last Sunday night.
Mrs. Gilbert retired in her usual good
health, about nine o'clock in the even
ing. Shortly after midnight Mr.. Gil
bert was awakened by a voice, and
getting up, found his wife suffering
from asthma. Inasmuch as she had
been subject to spells Of this kind, it
was thought it would soon pass away.
But alas, it was her last struggle for
breath on earth, and before anything
could be done to relieve her suffer
ing, her spirit took its flight to the
great beyond.
The deceased was daughter of
the late John Sharpless, was highly
respected by all who knew her, and
her death is deeply mourned by the
entire community. She leaves hus-
band and four children, namely: John,
of Philadelphia, Mrs. DIR. Reynolds,
of Danville, Mrs. Frank Maloy, o.
Scranton, and Laura, at home.

Veteran Editors Sudden Death.

While showing his wife a newly
bound book of memories pertaining
to the golden wedding, celebrated by
the couple on October 25th, John F.
Meginnis, of Williamsport, one of the
best known newspaper men of the
state, fell to the floor dead. He went
to Harrisburg Saturday morning, re-
turning home in the evening. Imme-
diately after reaching the house he
opened the volume which he had in
his hand. AS he was pointing to the
title page, it tell from his hand and he
tottered over and expired, without
uttering a word. He was seventy-six
years of age. He was an editor for
upwards of thirty-hve years and quite
frequently during that time has writ
ten articles pertaining to the history
of Columbia County, always writing
over the signature of John of Ian
caster. His last narrative, in which
he described a trip through this
county appeared in many of the papers
hereabouts only few months ago.

Ladies. Beware of This Man.

A Wellsboro exchange says: A
number of ladies of this borough
were swindled last week out of SIS 90
each by smooth-tongued young
gentleman. The swlnder stopped at
the Sandbach House and claimed to
represent a ladies tailoring establish
ment, located somewhere IN Massa-
chusetts. He solicited orders for
tailor made suits at the remarkable
low price of So per suit, in order to
advertise the house which he repre-
sented. The number of orders was
limited to fifteen. That is the sub.
stance of the story the swindler told.
He displayed samples of the goods,
from which the ladies were to make
selections, and when an order was
taken he exacted SIS IN advance, the
balance to be paid to a lady, who
would call at the house and make the
suit.
