Politics seem to have dried up on
the stalk. Most of the papers of the
state are as mum as mummy and
do not seem to care who is elected
governor or United States senator.
The JACKSON News is logging for Noel
and few of the interior papers are
hurrahing for this or that candidate,
but as genaral thing the press of the
state is taking very little interest in
the campaign, and the candidates
themselves seem to have lost much in
terest in the canvass. They are fill
ling their appointments and the pa
pers are making note of the same,
but with that exception very little
interest is manifested in the campaign.
1t is not meant by this that there is
any backdown or the hope has been in
in the least abandoned by any of the
candidates or their friends, but the
fact is the people. who are the main
spring of all political campaigns, have
become little Disguised and very
small part now will go very long
way.

One of the funniest propositions we
ever heard being made by an intelli-
gent man, in the fulfillment of which
he is to be elected to office, is that
made by DR.. Kiger of Warren county.
according to the Clarion-Ledger. II
is known in parts of the state that the
doctor is a candidate for lieutenant
governor and there can be no doubt
ing the fact that he wants the office
about as bad as any one else in the
field if not a little more so according
to his own proposition.
He agrees that if the people will
elect him to this office he will take
unto himself wife within six months
after his induction into Office.
The doctor has been living all these
fifty years single if not a singular
life and has been honored from time
to time with office until he has
grown gray in the srevice, but hav-
ing an ambition to get little higher
and still little higher he is willing
to bind himself to make some woman
more miserable or happier if the peo-
pie will just one time elevate him to
the office of lieutenant governor.
We are rather inclined to believe
that the proposition of the doctor will
not be accepted by the pepole. If he
should consider it his duty to marry
after his election to that office he
should have considered, as good citi-
zen, to have married twenty five years
ago. 1t is the duty of every good
man TO marry when he becomes of a
marriageable age and raise a good
family, and it is none of the part of
the people to dish out offices as a pre-
MUM to induce men to marry. His
opponent in this city is married
man and has been married for num-
Der of years. He has been elected
TO state office many times and he has
never proposed to the people that if
they would elect him he would marry
and settle down or settle up and make
a good citizen and raise a fami-
~ of children who in after years
would be an honor to the state and a
credit to their parents.
But we think DR.. Kiger is joking.
The risk is to great. He might not find
some one of the fair sex to suit his
ideas and taste, and then he
might not resign the Office and the |
people would be cheated.

a brief speech to the many negroes
present warning them against any act
of violence towards the white women
of that city, declaring that the white
women should be made to feel as safe
to walk the streets at any hour dur
ing the night as during the day
Now it turns out that only few days
thereafter another negro was shot by
an officer while fleeing from arrest.
He was charged with having struck
a white woman This goes to show
that the negroes do not fear lynch law
or they do not possess the mind and
intelligene to comprehend its mean
ing, or they put too much dependence
in their legs.

Look Pleasant"

At a recent meeting of an art club
at which we're twenty five members
1t was impossible to find one really
happy looking woman. The lines of
anxiety, the puckered brows and
dropping mouths, made one member
feel that she would like suddenly to
fash mirror into each face and say:
'Oan't you look little more pleasant,
eve if you don't feel like it, just for
the sake of those around your"
Think of sitting opposite a woman
twice or three times a day, and see
ing always look of care and worry.
Ons couldn't blame man for getting
discouraged. The same thing can be
seen in cars, at lectures and in fact
every where, and even some young
girls and children have the same dis
agreeable expression. II this care
worn look has become such a part of
the present generation that we can
not part with it, let Us at least i'm
press future generations with the fact
that it is not only thousand pities
TO spoil their freshness with all these
needless lines and frowns, but a real
wrong besides. One expects to look
older at forty than at twenty, yet
need one look as though she alone
had all the hard times?-.Selected.

AIRING SLEEPING ROOMS.

There is nothing more essential to
health than fresh air and sunshine,
not only in outdoor exercise, but in
the home. Especially must the living
and sleeping rooms have sunlight and
ventilation. Many cases of inactive
skins and scalp troubles and poor
complexions are due to sleeping
in badly ventilated rooms, says the
NelU York Press. 1t should be under
stood generally that one of the mis-
sions of the sun is to deodorize and
purify. There is vitality in sunlight.
The sun is the great enemy of
disease germs. Let the sun have
chance to do it's work in the sleeping
rooms. A prejudice in favor of hav-
ing ones homework done early in the
day should not beguile the mistress
into having her beds made up before
they are aired thoroughly. The care
of the beds and bedding bears most
directly on the health. At the con-
venience of the maid orsome member
OF the family the bed-clothes are
tossed off tho bed, and the making
takes place Immediately.
This is wrong. Every article of
clothing should be removed from the
bed, piece by piece, as soon as the
occupant leaves it and placed where
the air from the open windows may
circulate through the fabric. The
mattress should be exposed to light,
and, if there are two, the top one
should be thrown back and the other
permitted to cool and air.
In chambers having western ex-
posure the beds freQu emily should be
left unmade until the afternoon in
in order that the clothing may have
the full benefit of the sun. No false
notion of tidiness should be permitted
to defeat the higher purpose of keep
ing the home pure and healthful.
Poisoned air is inhaled all night
long when the windows have been
opened in the morning for a few
moments and closed then until the
next day. The odors from the diff
ferent departments of the house are
not confined to the lower part of the
house, but reach the sleeping rooms
as we'll. This is the kind of oil
thousands of intelligent, educated
persons breathe in the cold months
Even on the coolest days the window
should be down at the top and up a
the bottom, if only few inches
This will give good ventilation, the
impure air going out at the top anc
the pure air coming in at the bottom
