Tendency of the lines.

The tendency OF medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought OF the world Is
being given tn the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than
to cure. 1t has been fully de-
monstrated that pneumonia, one OF
the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have TO contend with,
can be prevented by the use OF
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a
cold or from IN attack OF Influenza
(grlp), and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any
tendency OF these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands OF
cases in which this remedy has
been used during the great prevail
ence of colds and grip IN recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from slight cold
when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered
that there is fever and difficulty
In breathing and pains in the
chest, then 1t is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. 1t alway.

In Memory.


Mary McComls was born Apr,
Sth 1885, and died Jan. 10th, 1901,
sge Is years 0 months and 2 days.
Mary was the beautiful daughter
OF Jas. and Fanny McComis. She
was converted and Joined the NJ.
+. Church South In 1897 and lived
a consistent memb ber up TO her
death. Mary was ever ready to
bear her cross. The writer has
often heard her pray In public and
testify to the religion Of the Lord
Jesus Christ. To know Mary was
10 love her. She was kind and
affectIonAte. Death claimed her
as Its victim. She has gone to
that homo where there IS no
scorshlng fever TO play upon her
lovely form.
We feel our church has lost ono
OF Its most worthy members, her
father and mother their Affect
ionsts child and the Sunday school
one OF its brightest pupils. She
remarked Just before she died that
she saw angle and recognized
them. No doubt they had come to
help escort her 10 that land whore
God had prepared for tho faithful.
Her funeral was preached by
Rev. II. b. Hewlett, from the 10th
chapter OF Luke and 42nd verse,
"And Mary hath chosen that
good part which shall not be taken
away from her,n which was very
appropriate for the occasion. She
WAS laid 10 rest In the family
grave yard TO sleep until Gsd call,
the sleeping dead TO como forth
and Mary will be among that
number that will be the first tc
rise.
May God ever bless her iathel
and mother, brothers and sisters
and oil the kind friends who wett
ever ready to minister TO her want'
and necessities. ID. M. NJ

Poultry.

This Is the time OF year when
eggs are highest-and when most
chicken-keepers get the fewest.
One dozen strictly fresh are now
worth three or four dozen In the
summer. There Is only one way
to get eggs in winter, and that Is
10 treat the hons right. They
must have a warm coop, a run
under cover in a separate room
from the roost and nesting place,
aud proper variety Of food served
in such a way that the hens have
to exercise In order TO get 1t. This
may be attained by scattering grain
in thick chaff on the floor OF the
run, by feeding corn on the ear, etc.
A cabbage suspended from cord
so that 1t hangs about an inch
above the head of the average fowl,
will make the chickens work for
their green stuff. Fresh water
three times day is not too much.
Keep the coop clean and give the
chickens u chance to get ut an in
door dust bath, and II you do not
have fresh eggs in midwinter, to
sell at thirty or forty cents a dozen,
II is not your fault, but the chick
ens's, and 1t Is time to kill them of
and try new lot, or a different
breed. Ground bone, cut from
green uncooked bone, Is very inn
portant thing to give to hens in The
winter. They should have a can
OF 1t, tackled to the wall, where
they can get at 1t at any time. II
costs little, and means more eggs,
| A hen properly fed and housed IL
like a machine properly oiled and
repaired. Hens can be made tC
lay In winter, when eggs are high
liz they are so fed in the spring anc
summer as to check their layini
proclivities. They pay good re
turns for this rest little later on
Some men and omen succeed il
this, and make lots OF money
Why cannot others profit by thei
example?

New Registration Law.

The Bradley Registration certlD-
cate BIZ virtually became n law
when The Senate passed the House
bill without amendment. 1t is
similar to the bill that was passed
by the last General Assembly and
was stolen from the desk Of the
clerk Of the Senate after lt was
ready to be sent TO the Governor.
The bill requires the registration
Of voters Ia all cities and towns
from tho sixth class inclusive and
requires the officers to Issue 10 each
registered voter a certificate OF reg
istration which certificate must be
presented TO the Officers OF election
Mt the polls before the vote eau be
cast. The Republicans have oppos.
ed the bill because they are OF tho
opinion that the Democrats are Civ.
On advantage In the purchase OF
votes by reason oi the iact that II
will be easier 20 purchase the Get
tlilcates held by the nogros. The
Republicans says that they will
have 70 buy their negro voters
twice; tirst buy the certificate In
order 20 preserve Il and keep II
from this Democrats, and then buy
the negro to come to the polls on
election day aud secure his certin
cate for the purpose OF voting
The Democrats claim that the
measure Is meTItorlous because I
will prevent tho importation Of ne
gro voters from the other States

SufrolF, Va, Feb. 3 3-Travel-
worn and world.tired after seven
teen years Gf fugitation, Richard
Mullen, in Nansemond county Va.
Jail, confessed to the part he took
in Kentucky tragedy, thereby |
clearing up murder mystery oil
1887. One summer evening Of
that year he shot 10 death Thom-
as Carlisle In front of a hotel at
Catlettsburg, Kentucky. There
was no witness to the tragedy.
Three days later Mullen was in
Texas, and he did aot know for a
year that Carlisle was dead. The VIC
tim fingered ten days after receiv-
ing his death wound, but never
would divulge the uame OF the
person who Inflicted 1t. Carlisle and
Mullen were friends, hot-blood9d
and chivalrous, and with the Ken
lucky knack for gun handling.
Mullen has wandered from coast
10 coast and several times has
crossed the ocean. He earned
money in a precarious way, and
at periods was supplied by Ken
lucky relatives, who, however,
were Ignorant OF his cause for sell
exile. Police Chief Stockwell, Of
Catlettsburg, to-day confirmed the
, tragic part Of Mullen's story. Muller
