The following interesting dates
concerning the time of killing
froets in New Orleans and vicin-
ity were given out: The two
earliest dates on record for kill
ing frosts were on Oct. 20, 1878,
and Nov. 4, 1899. There were two
years during this period when one
did not occur until January. The
average date is about Dec. II.
This fact is very discouraging
to the yellow fever refugees. From
all indications the epidemic will
continue a couple of m o n t h
longer as there are no hopes OF the
germs being destroyed until the
arrival of a killing frost.

Gen. j. II. Sharp, of Columbus.

the meeting Of the deaf and dumb
commission, of which body he is
a member.
General Sharp belongs to the
school of Southern gentlemen, a
class of men who made this Sec

courtesy and gallantry, and who
have left on the history of the
country an impress that can new

He is we'll known to the cltl-
zens of the Capital City, having
been a member of both branches
of the Legislature and speaker
Of the house in 1886.
General Sharp was one of the
brayest soldiers of the war be-
tween the States, and his gallant
nv was recognized by General
Bragg and he was promoted for
bravery on the battlefield.
He entered the army as cap

Some years ago post caro-
craze originated in Germany and
since that time it has found fer
tile soil in Great Britain and the
United States. An enormous
number of cards are mailed each
day throughout the United King

for the post officials. Instead OF
writing long letters, giving dis
criptions of the various scenes

most desires to mention. Consid-
cradle complaint has been made
by postal authorities and it is ex-
pected that it will soon become a
penalty to send them through the
mails.
In this connection considerable
comment has been caused by the
fact reported that after a recent
visit of the British squadron ran
in the Baltic to Holland, over
$4,000 such view post cards were
found in mail boxes of Harlem, a
small town near Amsterdam.
Practically all of the cards haV-

HERE AND THERE.

On the farm of J. S. Hamilton,
in Rankin county, a nest of pigs
and puppies opened their eyes to
the world about the same time.
The puppies all died and so did
the mother of the pigs. The moth
or dog took possession of the or
phan pigs, carrying them one at
the time in her mouth, to her bed
in the barn and has since cared
for them as though they were her
own. The dog is very intelligent
and a valuable pointer.
