Wouidnt Stand for Closing of Register

A new register was opened at the

the register Clerk Stevens was much
startled. He then stopped the closing

demonstration with one of his ma

The revolt in Morocco, led by a re-
.igious fanatic and pretender, Omar
Zarahuni, against the modern minded
Sultan, Mulai Abdul Aziz, has assum-
ed such proportions as to alarm the
powers Of Europe and has brought
about revival of interest in this
ever-turbulent country.
The sultanate Of Morocco, at 1.-The
gates of Europe" Is the most north
westernly Of the African kingdoms
and covers an area about equal to
that of the State of Texas. Its north
ern and western coasts are washed
by the Mediterranean and the Atlantic
ocean, while on the east it is hem
med in by Algeria and on the south
By the desert of Sahara. The monot-
ony Of it's surface is broken by the
Atlas Mountains, an irregular range
extending through the country from
the northeast to the southwest, afford
ing a barrier against the hot winds
from the great desert. Several smaller
chains break up the country between
the main range and the Atlantic into
fertile valleys and plains. Many Of
the most elevated peaks of North
Africa are found in the Atlas Noun
tains, and the SUBMITS of these are
always capped with snow, the chilling
winds that blow from them down into
the valleys ofttimes making bitter
cold the nights that follow upon days
of extreme heat. In these mountains
are the sources Of many rivers

ageable as the tribes that drink from

Next he was put on diet Of sour her

Staanant Land and People.
Agriculture in Morocco is in very
primitive state and but small part OF
the arabic land is cultivated, owing TO
the innate Incidence Of the people ana
the lack of encouragement from the
government. Famines are not uncom-
mon and during the best times the
production is scarcely enough to sup
DIV the wants of the people. Yet, I'M
der proper conditions Of education
and government, Morocco could be-
come one of the most productive re-
gions In the world. Domestic animals
are numerous and the wealth OF many
of the tribes consists entirely in their
fiocks and herds. From the skin or
the native goats the celebrated Mo
rocco leather is made, and this forms
the chief occupation Of the country.
The people Of Morocco may be d.
vided into FIVE races, Berbers, Arabs.

them possessing great wealth. The

The season of catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and the
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh,
the most common and dreadful OF dis
eases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitiveness
of the air passages which incline one
to catch cold very easily. At last the

While many people have been cured

But prevention is far better than

Nashville and entered the University of
Nashville. He graduated when he was
10 years of age, and began the study of

In 1859 he was elected mayor OF Nash
Vile. and in the following year, when
the cholera showed itself at Nashville,
he showed his value in the management
Of affairs during the epidemic and the
works of its eradication. At the expir-
alton Of his tenure of office he resumed
the practice OF law. After some years
the demands OF his other personal in
terests necessitated his retirement
In 1865 Judge Lea accepted the ap-
pointment from Governor Brownlow of
the Office Of judge of the circuit court
of Davidson After most successful
