THE DUTY OF THE INDIVID--
UAL TO CHECK CONSUMPTION

Much is being done to cure individ-
uals of consumption and to help the
incurable Doctors and scientists the
world over are working in laboratory
and hospital for them, and they have
science. medicine, skilled nurses. and
sunny hospitals provided for them
They are given sympathy, charity and
help in all sorts of ways. and it is now
high time for the consumptive to re-

He should educate himself and do
missionary work with others, in
spreading the idea of his responsible

ease. He should realize that he MUIR

precautions to destroy the germs of
disease that he carries about him.
The secretary of the state board of
health of Michigan has issued the fol-
lowing instructions to consumptives
and their friends:
Consumption is the most destructive
disease, the number of persons dying
annually from this cause in Michigan
amounting to about 5000. Consump-
ton is a dangerous communicable dis
ease, the most dangerous one in Mich
igan. One consumptive may spread the
disease to very many healthy persons
The chief danger exists in the expec-
toration of the consumptive person,
and if this expectoration is carefully
destroyed before it is dried, little dan
ger need be feared. Consumptives
should be instructed not to spit upon
lie halls, street and railway cars, and
other vehicles, nor where fowls or
dairy cows may take in the sputum.

England was surprised and gratified
to hear that King Ned didn't owe a
shilling to any man. especially as he
was known to be heavily in debt al
ways in his Prince of Wales days. 1t
is presumed that his mother paid his
debts by her will. Parts of her will
were not made public. The queen
mother was very thoughtful and in
thus providing for her son, increased
his popularity and gave him kingship
in fuller sense. A king deep III debt
is less a king than the one that owes
no man.

England and Germany are now domi-

of the English sparrow. Let the city

France on an island in that lake and
it couldn't be seen from shore to snore.
You could hide England. Ireland, Scot

For woman's guidance is found IN the
fact that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton cures female weakness and the dis
eases of the delicate woman1y organs
which darken the lives of 50 many wom-

of light has penetrated many darkened
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness rFavorite Prescription
is not a tonic, not palliative, but pos
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. 1t gives vigor and
vitality. 1t banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
a diseased condition of the woman1y
organs. A temperance medicine, it con-
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.

Unfortunately many a silver lining
has it's cloud. Erie. Pennsylvania. has
discovered it's cloud. For a long time
the town has enjoyed all the conven-
fence of having natural gas for fuel
and all the housewife or the man of
the house had to do was to turn key
and light the furnace or kitchen fire
with a match. with no ashes and no
fuss over kindlings and draughts. But
a week ago nature turned off the sup
ply of gas. and during zero weather the
people of the town have not been able
to get enough heat to keep the houses
warm, much less to cook their meals.
and some people have died of the cold.
Other cities have found that natural
gas is a great blessing except when
it gives out. then their state is worse
than when the clumsy cumbersome
fuels, coal and wood, are relied upon.

pleased. fix their own wage scale, settle
the matter of apprentices and work

Give the Home Man Preference.

From the Texarkanian.
The home man spends his money at
home. He bears the burden of local
taxation. He aids in the support of
school and church. He is part of the
social, political and commercial life Of
the place. In al local expenditures the
home man should be given preference.
The home merchants sell as cheap
ly as their trade will warrant. They
carry stocks rs extensive as their pat
ronage will Justify. If their trade was
larger and more lucrative they could
afford to carry larger stocks and pos
sibly sell some cheaper. Sending away
from home for goods Is not only unjust
to the home merchants but it of neces-
sity increases the cost of those articles
bought at home.
The home man is your neighbOr.
You know him. He cannot afford to
deceive you if he would. He will be In
business here tomorrow and next week.
What he sells you can depend upon.
The purchases made from him may be
taken for their pretended worth.
OF course there are some things that
cannot be bought in the local town.
One must go to the metropolis for these.
But even such things may oftentimes
be ordered through the local dealer
with advantage to him and saving Of
expense to the purchaser.
1t pays to buy at home.

The Pierce City Mob.

From the Fayetteville Democrat.
The latest advices from Pierce City
are that order has been somewhat re-
stored. The work of the maddened
mob ended in the death of three or more
negroes, the burning of five negro
houses and the flight of the 200 negroes
who resided in the town. The report
says that the only negroes left are dead
negroes. 1t is not even claimed that
the negro who committed the horrible
crime has been caught.
Tobitha Taylor, wife of Squire Taylor,
who works at Smiths drug store in
Fayetteville, was visiting her sister in
Pierce City at the time, and narrates d
frightful experience. The house of her
brother-in-law was attacked by the mob
and bullets flew as thick as hail. Her
nephew. Pete Hampton, was shot thro
the heart and instantly killed the house
was set on fire and his body burned, to.
gether with everything it contained.
Tobitha lost her trunk, clothing and a
small sum of money. and arrived homs
yesterday morning barefooted and thin
ly clad.
1t is said that no more negroes will be
permitted to "rest a FOOT in Pierce
City. Comment is not necessary on
this awful affair.

The Peril Of Pride.

G. W. Wharton in Smart Set.
Once there were some very swagger
people in an ultra village not far
from the metropolis who decided that
no society yet punched together was
exclusive enough for them. Even the
Colonial Danes failed to meet the re-
quirements. So they determined to
start new aggregation that should be
the real thing,
After considerable thought they con-
cluded that If they limited membership
to direct descendants Of Fernando
DeSoto 1t would be sufficiently exclusive
for their fastidious tastes. A Society
of the Sonsand Daughters of DeSoto -
was the outcome. All the best people in
the village proved that they were eligi-
BILE and were enrolled as charter mem.
bers.
However, there was one man on the
outer fringe whose proof of descent was
not accepted; in short, he was black
balled. This made him angry, and one
day he started to investigate the sub
ject.
One day he published his findings in
the local newspaper The principal
fact was this; 'F. DeSoto died a
bachelor.
The Sons and Daughters of DeSoto
are now known as the Elite Euchre
Club.

Famine In Russia Appears Certain.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Advices from
Moscow say Russia is on the eve of an
other famine. Nearly third of the
provinces of European Russia are Off.
cially declared to have produced in.
sufficient, others sufficient, and
others still ''under the average crop
of cereals. Only two provinces out of
seventy have really good harvests
Among the insufficient are some of the
best wheat-growing districts, The of.
fetal insufficient means utter starry
alton. The famine-stricken area exceeds
half million square miles, and about
the same area as that of the great fam
inc of 1891. The population numbers
43, 900, 000 The hopes founded on the
report of two months have vanished.
The havoc has been wrought by the in
tense heat and entire absence of rain
when needed. Afterward there were
torrential downpours and hailstorms.
The appearance of innumerable pests is
completing the destruction.
As the harvest Is now in progress
there are no final reports. 1t might be
supposed that Russia would still be able
to draw on her vast resources In Siberia.
But matters have not gone we'll there,
though the figures have not been finally
issued. Moreover, the bumper crops Of
Siberia avail little, for Russia has no
roads but the railroads, OF the hund.
reds Of thousands who persisted directly
or indirectly from typhoid and other
epidemics induced by starvation during
the previous famines the great majority
were within hundred or two hundred
miles of the railroads, and grain could
not go to the starving mujiks, though
the streams take such quantities to the
ports as to benefit the outer world.

Here are some encouraging statistics
about the South which must be very
gratifying to every person living in this
section. What is known as the South
includes one-fourth of the total area and
one-third of the population of the q. s,
Its cotton and cotton seed alone gave it
an income last year of $545, 900, 600, the
largest value of any single crop in the
world. Its corn and its lumber product
brought in the snug sum of $500, 600, :
900. Moreover, the South raises 80 per
cent. of all American tobacco, mines 20
per cent. of all its coal, produces 10 per
cent. Of its iron, has 30 per cent. of its
total railroad mileage and steadily in
