Mother and Son.

There was once a boy in college
and he was about to graduate.
He wrote to the farm to his
mother to come. She replied she
could not do so. She said her
clothing were worn and she had
no money to buy new ones for
the occasion She had already
turned her skirt once and it was
ragged on both sides.
The boy asked her to come any
way. The old woman went,
dressed in her best, which was
not stylish. The commencement
was in fashionable church.
The son was prouder Of his mother
than of all his honors. He walked
with her down the aisle to the
center of the church and saw her
into one of the best seats. There
were tears in her eyes and she
burst out weeping when her son
came out and pronounced the
valedictory. The president pin
ned badge on his coat.
The young man left the stage
and went directly to his mother.
He took off the badge and pinned
it to her dress. There were tears
in her eyes, and he bent over and
kissed the wrinkled cheek

Attorney General McClurg, in
giving his official opinion on the
powers and duties of the State
Board of Health, touches upon
the following point which is of in
terest to the people of the diff
ferent counties of the State:
1.-THE Legislature of 1900 passed
an act, approved March II, pro-
viding that when a person suf-
fering with smallpox, yellow
fever or other infectious or con-
tagious disease is isolated by the
county health officer of any coun-
tv in the State under the rules
and regulations of the State Board
Of Health, the Board of Supervi-
sors of such county is hereby au-
thorized to pay the expenses in
Cured by such isolation, and also
the expenses of disinfecting any
infected premises when certified
to by said county health officer
This act simply intends to fur
nish the board of supervisors
with authority to make allowance
out of the county treasury for
the expenses of isolating per-
sons afflicted and of disinfecting
the premises, upon condition that
such isolation IS by order of the
county health officers and is in
accordance with the rules and
regulations of the State Board of
Health, and that the county health
officer had certified to both isola-
lion and disinfection. The pow
ers of the State Board of Health
are not at all abridged by this
act. +"

purpose of obtaining information
in regard to Mississippi's convict

success. Louisiana will have to
tackle this problem soon and the
information gathered by the Pic
