The new fire laddies took the big

The Cure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip?
Simply culture. There is a great
deal of gossip that has no malignity
about it. Good d-natured people
talk about their neighbors because,
they have nothing else to talk about.
AS we write, there comes to us a
picture Of a family of young ladies.
We have seen them at home, we
have met them in gallries of art,
We have caught gimpses of them
going from a bookstore or a library,
with a fresh volume in their hands.
When we meet them they are full
of what they have seen and read.
They are brimming with questions.
One topic of conversation only to
give place to another, in which they
are interested. We have left them
after a delightful hour, stimulated
and fresh and during the whole
hour not neigh hbor' s garment was
soiled by so much as a touch. They
had something to talk about. They
knew something, and want to know
l1iOiC. iiCS COUlU 11SbS1l dS w Gil dS
they could talk. To speak freely Of
neighbors and belongings would
have seemed an impertinence to
them, and, of course, an impro-
priety They had no temptation to
gossip, because the doings of their
neigh Dor formed a subject very much
less interesting than those which
grew out of their knowledge and
their culture.
And this tells the whole story.
The confirmed gossip is always
either malicious or ignorant. The
one variety needs a change of heart
and the other change of pasture.
Gossip is always a personal confess
sion either of malice or imbecility,
and the young should not only shun
it, but by the most thorough cul-
ture relieve themselves from all
temptation to indulge in it. 1t
is a low frivolous, and often a dirty
business. There are country neigh
borhoods in which it RACES like a
pest. Churches are are split in
pieces by it. Neighbors are made
enemies by it for life. In many
persons it degenerates into a chronic
disease, whicn is practically incur
able. Let the young cure it while
they may.-Tupelo Journal

Mr.. Brewers Patriotic Card.

Hon. Earl Brewer on Saturday
night, conceding his defeat in the
primary election for Governor, gave
to the press the following manly
and patriotic card:
Mr.. Noel has been selected by a
majority of the Democrats of the
State as their standard bearer. 1t
would be improbable and improper
for a loyal party man to speculate
upon any of the causes which in his
opinion may have contributed to
his defeat but it is the plain duty
OF all Democrats cheerfully to ac-
cept the verdict of the people.
In no other way in Mississippi
except by a solidly united party
can white supremacy be maintained,
and that is paramount and above
everything else with all true Mis-
sissippians.
For the thousands of noble
friends who supported my candida
cy so ardently and untiringly have
no words to express my emotion.
My deepest regret is for their disap-
pointment, but they are loyal and

sissippi, and will all earnestly con-
tribute their mite toward a success

will of the people.

II Is Governor Noel.

After a most uncomfortably close
rub Senator +. +. Noel emerged
from the second primary election Of
the 22d instant with the nomina-
ton for Governor, defeating his ag-
gressive and popular opponent, Sen
ator Earl Brewer, by the small
margin Of 1743 out Of total vote
for that Office Of 1885. The in
terest in the second event centered
almost exclusively in the contest for
Governor, as it did for Senator in
the preceding primary, and for
several days it was claimed the Off
cial count would be necessary to a
decision. Like most Of the high-office
candidates In the first primary, Mr.,
Brewer accepted defeat in a manly
card ringing with patriotism and
party loyalty that excited the adj
miration IF friends and supporters
and the commendatiOno Of opponents.
In the run-off there were practic-
ally no issues. Both were avowed
prohibitionists; both almost silent
upon the subject Of immigration
that had been eliminated by the
defeat of the candidates that had
previously discussed the question,
and the result shows that whatever
there was to the factional issue so
much remarked upon during the
short second campaign, the vote
was about equally divided, so that
the outcome hinged more than 9th
erwise upon the relative merits and
worth of the contending gentlemen ,
as viewed from the standpoint Of
the voter and his personal knowl-
edge of the candidates.
Senator Noel is well known to
most Mississippians. He has en-
joyed a long career Of service in the
house and senate, and has impress
is upon many Of the statutes now
in force, especially the primary cleo
ton law whose paternity belongs to
him, and which be is now in posi-
ton to perfect as to features that he
has recently pointed out and urged
for amendment.
1t is conceded by all that his adj
ministration viii be safe, sound,
conservative and free from even the
appearance Of graft or the abuse of
executive power. If in these re-
spects he shall equal the record Of
our present excellent Governor he
will receive the hearty plaudits Of
the people from one end Of the
State to the other.

I'VE never repent of eating too lit
tle," was one of the ten rules of life
of Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies TO
every one without exception during
this hot weather, because it is hard
for food, even in small quantities, to
be digested when the blood is at high
temperature. At this season we should
eat sparingly and properly. We should
also help the stomach as much as pos

Thoughtful people in the United
States have viewed with concern the
growth in certain quarters of the
sentiment for public ownership Of
public utilities. Every time pub
lie service corporation imposes hard
ships upon the people because it is
stubborn or selfish, or narrow and
unenlightened in its relation with
the people, it gives its impetus to
the movement for government
ownership. The telegraph com

eyes to the possibility that the strike
may be a boomerang and that
eventually they may suffer also
