Cause of Bad Colds.

cures are selling by the ton. The
druggists and the doctors and the
undertakers are reaping rich har-

There are three main causes oi
this plague:
First-Indigestion from overeat-
ing and rapid eating.
Second-Too heavy clothing.
Thiri-Overheated houses.
A human being who is always
shoveling in another meal upon the
still undigested preceding meal Is
always in condition to catch any
thing that may be going. AS the
cold is the easiest thing to catch, all
these overeaters have colds.

Temperance and Religion Should 0t
n and in Hand.

Editor Searchl;ght;-- AS some
said, religion is sugar to the heart,
temperance has tendency to give
out that sweetness. The reason SO
many term temperance failure is
because they have wrong idea OF
its meaning. II our temperance is
to train us in taking intoxicants in
a mild form, then we might well
say ii is a failure.
Are we, as temperance workers,
doing all in our power to help raise
our fallen brothers to solid footing
OF manhood, or are we not? DO
we go to God upon our bended
knees and ask him to help US? Are
our Rev. brothers doing their duty
in rescuing the fallen? / should
have them proclaim the gospel re.
garding temperance twice a month.
Are we to believe temperance a
failure because some make no good
use OF it? Are We to believe tenn
perance failure just because some
lack the true christian temperance
spirit and make it a failure? While
on the other hand ~e look into
homes where they have the true
christian temperance spirit, do we
see it failure? | answer, NO
Jesus taught temperance while
here on earth, and why should we
be afraid to teach it? refer to I'd
Peter, 1st CHI. and 9th "; also to
Acts, oath ch. and 25th "; take
these verses and study them.
Temperance is not form to have
on grea, occasions and after that to
be cast aside, but it is that which
is necessary to make man worthy
to be called father, husba. d, neigh
Dor and citizen. We as tenn
perance people, are to teach the
child, and lay before him the evils
of intemperance.
Religion and temperance prepare
one for right living, therefore, how
can one fall out with them?
Are we to remain idle just be-
cause we have signed the pledge,
and say that we have nothing to do?
Are we to shun the man who i'm
bibes in the flowing bowl without
giving him an encouraging word?
We should take them by the hand
and speak good and kind word,
and try and persuade them to turn
from the broad road that leadeth to
destruction into that path that is
narrow and straight.

Only once did Mark Twain appear
Iin public as a political speaker. AS
a conscientious republican in his po-
litical preferences, Mr.. Clemens took
an active interest in the presidential
campaign Of 1880. While visiting
lin Elmira, N. Y, in the fall OF that
year, he made a short speech one
Saturday night, introducing to re.
publican meeting Gen. Hawley, OF
Connecticut. In the course OF his
remarks, Mr.. Clemens said:
"Gen. Hawley is member OF my
church at Hartford, and the author
Of Beautiful Snow Maybe he will
deny that. But am only here to
give him a character from his last
place. As a pure citizen, respect
him; as a personal friend OF years,
II have the warmest regard for him;
as neighbor, whose vegetable gar.
den adjoins mine, why-why, !
watch him. As the author OF
Beautiful Snow, he has added new
|pang to winter. He is a square,
true man in honest politics, and |
must say he occupies mighty lone
some position. So broad, 80 boun-
|tiful is his character that ne never
turned tramp empty handed from
his door, but always gave him let

GREAT SOUTHERN LOSSES HERE
TOFORE.

People forget easily. When a great
calamity comes to a section or COM
munity or state, people are apt to
think that it was the worst that ever
occurred. The recent devastation in
West Virginia bad as it is does not
stand alone in Southern horrors. There
have been for sixty years in the south
many and great calamitieS from
storms. The list is scarry, and long,
In two years-1S40 and 1S42-Adams
county, Mississippi, had 81 persons killed
and 100 injured by storms-loss 81, $780,
900. In 1880, our counties in Missouri
lost 100 killed, 600 injured, 200 build
ings destroyed-loss 81, 600, 600. Other
heavy storms with much loss OF lives
and property are reported in the same
year, and in 1882, and 1889. In the year 1884
the account states that North and
South Carolina. Mississippi, Georgia.
Tennessee, Virginia. Kentucky and
Illinois had 800 killed, 2, 500 injured, 10, 1000
buildings destroyed. These storms
constituted an unparalleled series Of
~tornadoes. these being yer sixty of
them scattered over the territory after
10 o'clock the morning Of February 9.
In 1890. in Louisville. KY, 76 were
killed, 200 injured, 900 buildings de-
stroyed, loss 81. $50, 900. The storm cut
a path 1000 feet wide through the
center of the city.
In 1898, in Savannah and Charleston
and on the coast 1000 people were kill
ed and great destruction of property.
In 1898, on the coast OF Louisiana 1000
people were killed and great loss OF
property. In 1896, a cyclone killed 500
and injured 1000 in ST. Louis, with
much destruction Of property. The
other day-in 90O-we all remember
Galveston and it's terrific experiences

TWO NOTEWORTHY wOMEE OF

There are two noble southern women,
widows of two illustrious heroes, who
still survive, and in whom the south
feels a sincere interest. Mrs. Davis,
lrelict of the great and patriotic presi-
Ident of the southern confederacy, is,
we much regret to learn, in failing
health. She is every way worthy Of
the sympathy and admiration of the
manhood and womanhood Of the south.
Mrs. Jackson, the admired and below
ed widow of that great hero in battle,
"StonewalI' Jackson. Of precious men,
DRY, still lives and in improved health.
May these two admirable southern
women long live in the land they
Ilove!'' The Atlanta Constitution men

Mrs. Jackson was in that city. 1t says:

city stirs up all that is precious in a

city, which has the honor of being the
point of beleaguerment in the closing

band. and holding it in reverence as

Judge Blair in passing sentence, said
to the prisoner: Your conviction will
teach a lesson. 1t was inevitable.
While the court feels that you are
guilty. it also feels that there is some
thing in your case which may be over
looked and, therefore, the court will
not impose the full term of seven years,
but will sentence you to five years at
hard labor in state prison."

in fact OF giving the ballot to dense ig-
and incapacity. What is the
view OF this able clerical stateman, for
such he is? He thus states a case:
Suppose that by the extension of
the suffrage the power Of choosing rul-
ers has come into the hands Of a mass
OF ignorant votersCcoherent in their
action because they are bound together
by racial Or social ties; ~incoherent in
their Judgment, because their only real

hands Of a fool, a prophecy Of an ex-
plosion: But how is this difficulty to
