SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle OF Chamberan's Couob
Remedy.

when had an attack of the grin
last winter (the second one) l actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham,
beriain's Cough Remedy" says Frank w.
Perry, Editor of the Enterprise, shorts
Vile, N. Y. "Tbis Is the honest truth. |
ct times kept from coughing myself to
pieces by taking teaspoonful of this
remedy, and when the coughing spell
would come on at night / would take n
dose and it seemed that in the briefest
interval the cough would pass off and |
would go, to sleep perfectly free from
cough and Its accompanying pains. To
cay that the remedy acted as most agree
able surprise is putting it very mildly. I
had no idea that IL would or could knock
out the grip, simply because had never
tried 1t for such purpose, but it did.
and It seemed with She second attack of
coughing the remedy caused IL to not
only be of less duration, but tho pains
were far less severe, and had not used
the contents. of one bottle before MI.
Grip had bid me adieu." For sale bv

feller of her own, wants to keep at
it and have polluted arms around
her waist, she had just as well sing
farewell TO conjugal love and domes-
tic peace, for it is against the order
of nature for a loving husband to
stand it, and he o%ughtn't.
And now another busy year has
gone-gone like the water that has
passed over the dam-gone never to
return. 1t has carried many friends
along with it and leftss sad memories
in the household, but on the whole
it has been a good year to us all and
providence has been kind.
Now is the time to look back and
review the past, as did old Janus, for
whom January was named. He was
the porter, the gate keeper, of Heav-
en-, and had two faces-one to look
back and the other forward into the
mysterious future. Numa Pompilius
gave him his name and his nigh Of
flee, for he was next in power to
Jupiter. He added two months to
the calendar and called one January
for Janus and the other February for
the mother of Mars. e Until then
there were but eight months of 46
days each. Numa added two more,
which gave them sc days each, and
January was the fourth month and
remained SO for more than 1000
years. April was the first month and
remained so until 200 years ago.
Mhty II vxync nhnnrn1 II no-- ,,-1a,
stand, for April is much more like
the beginning of a new year than
January. April comes from aperio,
to open-the time when the earth
opens and the grass comes up and
the flowers bloom and the birds sing.
But the names of almost everything
seem to conform to that old mythol-
ogy, and we can't get rid of it. My
great-grandfather lived and died I'M
der hat old calendar when April was
the first month of the year. julius
Caesar and Augustus Caesar stuck IN
two more months and made the year
of IL months of 80 days each, but
April remained the first month and
ought to be now.
but whether Christmas be in De-
cember or in April, we love the old
superstitions that cluster around
this season of joy and ~gladness. L
always thought it a pretty idea for
a man to be weighed every Christ
mas or New Year-to put his acts
and deeds in the balances, the good
on one side and the bad on the other,
n let him rise to heaven or fall
below it as the scales might turn.
This is not an orthodox doctrine, for
it is said that M bad deed will out
weigh a thousand good ones. Never
theless, Belshazzar was weighed,
and the Scriptures abound in such
figures of speech. 1t will take
miracles of grace to save us, anyhow,
and we must all help one another,
for the devil is doing his best. David
committed murder; Solomon wor-
SHIPPED idols; Cain killed his brother;
Jacob cheated Esau out of his birth
right; Noah got drunk, and Peter de-
MED his Master, but they all repented
and got forgiveness; and if there is
any difference between folks now and
folks then, / don't know it. Then let
us all love our Maker and be good to
u fellow-men.-Bill Arp, in Atlanta
Constitution.

Valuable Rccor.s,

The department. Of archives and
history is meeting with gratifying
success in collecting valuable histor-
ical archives and records relating to
the Confederate history Of Mississip-
pi. Gen. Samuel G.. French, Of
Laurel Hill, Fla, is corresponding
with the department with a view Of
donating to the State his valuable
collection of historical manuscripts,
which includes his records as chief
Of ordnance of Mississippi troops.
In his letter to the department Gen.
French says: 81 wish all my pa
pers, vouchers, etc., to show how the
State fitted her troops for the field"
Such historical material is Of price
less value as it contains the story
of the military equipment of Missis-
sippi soldiers and supplies the Mis-
sissippi chapter in the military rec
ords which have been added to the
department since it's establishment.
Gen. French has a splendid record
for gallant service in two wars. He
was born in New Jersey in 1918
was graduated from West Point in
1848, and was a classmate Of Gems.
Grant and Mcclellan. He served
through the Mexican war and a
sword of honor was presented to him
by the Legislature of New Jersey for
gallant conduct at Monterey and
Buena Vista. In 1861 he was APP
pointed chief of ordnance of the
army Of Mississippi and became a
major-general before the close of the
war. He was one of Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston's most trusted officers.
Gen. French is the author of "Two
Wars" a most notable contribution
to the military history of the coun-
try. He is now living at Laurel
Hill, Fla, and engaged in active
work at e~ighty-five years of age.

THEATER FOR DUSE.
Miss Anna Il. Morgan Blossoms Forth
as a Patron of National Italian
Lyric Art.

Miss Anna Morgan, daughter of J..
Pierpont Morgan, has placed her name
at the head of a subscription list of
220 women who will contribute 81, 900
cash to erect a theater in Italy for
Nine. Duse.
This was the announcement made by
a close friend of the great Italian ac-
tress.
The theater, according to the plan,
is to be a national Italian theater.
This is something on which Mime. Duse
has had her heart set for years, and
Miss Morgan and other American
women will aid her in carrying out
her pet scheme.
According to the story told, the sub
scription was started at a reception
given to Nine. Duse at the Italian en-
bassy at Washington some time ago..
Miss Morgan was one of the women
present.
Nine. Duse. while discussing the
drama with Miss Morgan and several
other women, deplored the fact that
Italy had no national theater. She
spoke of her hopes to build one and
declared that already the ground for
such a theater had been given her by
Count Frankenstein. Nine. Duse grew
so enthusiastic that she inspired her
hearers with a like enthusiasm.
Finally Miss Morgan said she would
head a list of subscribers to help build
the theater and promptly put her name
down for $1,000. The Washington
women followed Miss Morgan's exam
pie and 20 names were soon on the list,
each for $1,000.
The theater is to be erected at La
Albene, on the outskirts of Rome.

Demurrer Sustained.

In the case of the State VS.. T. E.
Mortimer, charged with unlawfully
obtaining money from the school
fund of Tippah county by eason of
making false report of attendance
upon said school, the demurrer to the
indictment, interposed by the de-
PENDANT, was sustained last week at
Ripley by Judge Lowrey. 1t is
thought to be unlikely that another
Indictment will be returned because
Of the fact that there is no statute
in the State covering false school re-
ports along the lines indicated in
this Indictment.

Historical Society.

DR.. Franklin L. Riley, secretary
of the Mississippi Historical Society,
makes the official announcement that
the executive committee of the So
ciety has decided to hold the fifth
annual meeting in Yazoo City in
the latter part of April. Mr.. Riley
states that it has always been the
rule of the society to hold one-half
of the meetings at Jackson, the cap
ital of the State, and the other half
at various places of historical inter
est in the State, the wisdom of this
policy he says has been demonstrated
by the success of the meetings here
tofore held, and a continuance of the
policy will doubtless be adhered to.
