Some Simple Hints for Keeping
Healthy.

Flannel should be worn next the
skin all the year round.
House drains must be carefully
seen to, and kept in perfect order.
Sitting with the back close to
the fire for any length of time is
weakening.
Beware of cold or damp feet, or
standing about in damp clothes or
on wet ground.
Don't sit or lean against ; cold
substance. particularly if the body
is overheated.
On going outside from a heated
room, be we'll wrapped up; don't
stand; and keep the mouth shut.
Sleep on a hair, straw, or spring
mattress; abjure feather beds.
The bed-clothes should be we'll
aired daily.
A warm bath ought to be taken
occasionally, and cold sponging
of the whole body quickly done in
the morning is well worth the
trouble,
Most people, even the hard work
ers, are the better of some dumb
bell or other manual exercise to:
develop the capacity of the chest.
Excess. of every kind is incom-
patible with health. Worry, quar-
reling, or ill-temper are inadmissi-
BILE. A hearty laugh is worth
much.

Bride Weighs 4OS; Groom Gets
$4,000.

Derby, Conn.,, Jau. 5.-Cards
are out announcing the marriage,
on December 29th, of Miss. Mary
A. Plumb, daughter of William
S. Plumb, a wealthy Stevenson
farmer, to Charles N. Harang, a
young farmer of Huntington. The
BRIDE is twenty-four years old and
weighs 40S pounds. The bride
groom ie two years her senior, but
weighs only 1875 pounds.
Tree years ago Mr.. Plumb an
nounced that he would give $4,000
to an worthy young man who
would marry his daughter. Miss
Plumb then weighed about 800
pounds, but has since grown
steady stouter. Mr.. Harang
proposed marriage and was
accepted by Miss Plumb two
months ago. Several suitors had
sought her hand, but they proved
to be actuated solely by mercenary
motives and were unsatisfactory.
The wedding was a private one at
the brides home, the Rev. ". c..
Wakeman, of Stevenson, officiat-
ing. The honeymoon was limited
to trip to New Haven. Although
Harang ls not wealthy, he main
tains that it was love and not her
dover which led him to propose
to Miss Plumb, yet be admits that
the $4,000 was an acceptable we'd
ding gift from his father in-law.
Mrs. Harangss weight is the
more noticeable because she is
little more than five feet in height.
She is a pronounced brunette, and
has beautiful eyes and hair. She
is not in the least sensitive about
her size, is always jovial and en-
Joys the best of health.

SOLICITOR THURMOND FOR
CONGRESS.

It is currently ard authorita-
lively reported that Congressman
W. J. Talbert will decline a re-elec-
tion two years hence. If such re-
port be true, and we have no doubt
that it is, we desire to present the
name of Solicitor ]. VIM. Thur
mond for that position. Mr. Thur
mond is erinently qualified fos
such an Office by education and
pursuits. having been a practicing
lawyer for fifteen years, solicitor
of the fifth circuit for six, and q
member of the house of represen-
tatives for two terms, in which
Offices he discharged his trust
with: fidelity to his constituents
and for the best interests of the
State. Above and beyond all Mr..
Thurmond is q, practical man, and,
should he be honored with a seat
in the hext Congress, would fill
the requirements of that high posi-
ton as he has filled all others to
which he has been called in the
past. The people of this district
will remember that as member
of the legislature Mr.. Tburmond
saved the people, the taxpayers,
something moro than 100000 on
an old claim sought to be collect
ed from the State while he was q
member of that body. What he
did in the house of representatives
of the State of South Carolina he
might on a larger scale do in the
Congress of the United States.
Give him the opportunity.

I 9 O O..

We see the old century fading away,
For gasping she now is lying;
Her youngest born child on her bosom
doth lay;
But never again will 1t frolic or play {:
Both mother and child are dying.
A mother she's been of an hundred
years,
An hundred otfsprings bearing.
But ninety nine times she has melted
IN tears;
For Time ever like the death angel ap-
pears,
Each one from her bosom tearing.
Bewaillng her loss and ne'er finding
relief,
The fond mother still bewailing,
All wearied with cares and all broken
with grief
For loss of her children whose lives
were so brief,
Is quietly, quickly failing.

Supreme Court Sustains DeciS- ion of Chancary Court in
 the SaRdefur Case
CITY ORDERED ID
 FOREVER ABATE NUISANCE
Several Other Actions Filed On Same Ground, and Sandefur Suit Allowed to Go Up as
 Test Case.

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes terday rendered a decision sutaining the decision of the lower court In permitting an injunction against the city of Bir- mingham from emptying it's sanitary sewage into Valley creek. The case is that of the Mayor and Aldermen of Bir- mingham vs James L. Sandefur, and it reached the Supreme Court on an appeal from the Jefferson Chancery Court.
 The decision was rendered by Justice Haralson, and its effect is to enjoin the city from emptying it's sewage into Val ley creek, the prayer of the bill to abate the nuisance being granted The latter part of the decision follows:
 "The court rendered its decree, hold ing that complainant was entitled to the relief prayed for; that the exceptions to the pleas were well taken, and were sus- tained and that the sewage of and from | the city of Birmingham into said creek, at the point where now discharged on the land described the same being a body of land in which complainant owns, and owned at the time of the filing of the bill, a substantial interest, and upon | which he now resides and at the time the bill was filed, resided. is a nuisance, established and maintained by the de- fendant which works special injury to the complainant.
 Tt was further ordered, and decreed, that said nuisance be forever abated; that an injunction issue by the register. directing. commanding and enjoining the defendant, it's officers. agents, attorneys, solicitors, servants and employees, to for ever cease emptying and discnarging the sewage of and from said city of Birming ham, or any part thereof, into said Valley Creek at a point in or nearby above or nearby below the lands described in the bill, and that, as said nuisance could not be immediately abated, six months be, and was prescribed as reasonable time | for defendant to abate the same; that a copy of the decree should be immediately served on the defendant, and that the case be retained on the docket of the court for such further orders and decrees as may be necessary or proper to protect and enforce the rights of the parties and the court reserved the right to en- large the time for the abatement of the said nuisance, upon proper application and proof. The costs were taxed against the defendant.
 ''The appeal was to reverse the several rulings of the court on the specified grounds of demurrer to the bill and pleas filed and in the decree rendered.
 The Supreme Court sustains all of the rulings of the lower court several other cases were filed on the same ground and the Sandefur action allowed to go up as a test case.
