The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1909-09-02
IN PROUD OLD LoND0N-TOWN

A nlssissippI Boy Attracts the
Attention Of An English
man.
Surely there is not in all the
length and breadth of the land,
dear Dixie land, man or woman
with ''soul so dead" that it will not
respond to this little story I am
going to tell of Mississippi boy
who, far from sshome and native
land" yet remembered his love for
it, and remembered it so Loyalty
and expressed this loyalty with so
rare a dignity and SO beautiful a
grace that it must make its impress
on our hearts as it did on the heart
ofa brave and gallant English gen.
tleman in distant London town a
few weeks ago.
There is, among the many south
erners travelling in Europe now, a
little family party of father, moth
er and only son, boy of about
seventeen.
Their iourneying has been ideal
and, as the crown to all the pleas
ures of this summer, there came a
visit to the home of friends in
England which gave them insight
into the genuine, beautiful coun-
try life of the best-bred English
people.
The parents of the lad of whom
| speak, not caring to 60 out that
evening, he started out in all the
bravery of his seventeen American
years and elegance of his swellest
London. tailored dining clothes,
and Jared forth to seek adventure.
The scene within the splendidly
appointed dining hall did not
promise much in the way of adven-
ture, being so thoroughly conven-
tional and imposing. There was
gathered the true nobility of grand
old England, with the Nouveaux
Riches thrown in to make the
scales balance comfortably. There
flowers lifted their priceless heads
as though to vie with the beauty
all about, and jewels flashed in gay
est rivalry.
It was scene to be remembers
ed by all who shared its bright ex-
perience. Especially impressive
was it to this young lad whose
home was in the quaint old south
era town, Port Glbsonj a town,
by the way, where gentlemen were
reared and heroes made just as
surely and as splendidly as ever on
historic England's soil.
Soon alter the young mans en-
trance into the hall the orchestra
began, in accordance with the
special request of some great digni-
tary then present, medley of nat
ional airs. This music, rolling
Familiarity forth, struck straight at
the hearts of many a wanderer
from native shores, and there rous-
ed the tenderest emotions.
It is the custom it seems when
these national airs are given for the
people of a country to raise and
stand at attention while their ma
tion's hymn is being rendered,
that thus they may show honor to
the land whence they came. As,
| for instance, when the martial
strains of the Marseillaise sounded
bravely forth every Frenchman in
the great room rose instantly and
remained in an attitude of utmost
difference until it ended. It was
so with all the others, and when
nAmerica" was reached the frst
/ familiar notes brought to their feel
a great throng Of loyal Americans,
whose pride in their country, ii
their hymn, and in each other a:
they stood there was most beau
tiful and impressive sight.
At last, however, sweet as theJ
were and dearly as the hearers low
led the song, and its echoes even

During Reading Of Passion at 1880
so'cIIeoseYks High Mass ,'so! Sunday
Is Mornins-Mrs. Iphn Nc
Grath Also Swooned.
CONGREGATION IN TEARS
Long Fast Preceding Celebration OF
Mass Coupled With Reading Of
Long Gospel Was the
Cause.

Rev. James Dunnion, the esteemed
pastor of St Francis De Sales Catholic
church. tainted on the Alter Sunday
morning at High Mass during the read
ing of the Passion, or Long Gospel,
which is read on the Sunday preceding
Easter, known as Palm Sunday. Tears
were shed by many members of the
congregation present at the Mass and
Mrs. John McGrath tainted and had
to be removed to her home.
The little incident in the church
caused considerable excitement and
some time elapsed before Father Dun
MON was revived and was able to re-
sumo the celebration of Mass.
Father Dunnion had tasted for some
time previous to IL o'clock Saturday
evening, the laws o. the church requir-
ing priests and members Of the con-
gregation to fast from midnight, if
they are to receive communion the
next morning.
The many hours of fast coupled with
the Long Gospel. read by the priest at
the altar and the congregation stand
ing, proved too much for Father Dun
Mon and in the midst of it he fell
heavily backwards, his head hanging
over the upper step of the altar.
Members of the congregation in the
church rushed forward and tenderly
lifted the apparently lifeless form of
their pastor In their arms. He revived
slightly but soon again swooned and
was removed to the sacristy After a
few minutes he regained conscious
ness and was soon able to finish Mass.
The congregation was greatly ex
cited over the incident and many mem
mers were moved to tears when they
saw their pastor fall during the Mass
Mrs. John McGrath, who as probably
slightly i'll at the time, tainted near
the door and a severe sickness of sew
eral hours followed She was removed
to her home after a carriage had been
called.
The only warning the congregation
had of the fact that Father Dunnior
might have been Ill during the early
part of the Mass was that during the
services he went to the sacristy. but
returned in few minutes and resum
ed Mass. He was able to be about the
city in the afternoon and today.
The Passion, which is read OF Palm
Sunday in all of the Catholic churche:
of the world at every Mass, lasts fol
about twenty-five minutes during
which the priest stands at the altar az
he does during the entire Mass and the
congregation also remains standing.

Deep SEATED COUGH
CURED IN 5 HOURS.
New Homemade Syrup.
(Cut this out.)
From Boston Press.

Progress in medical compounds never
ceases. and now 1t is stated by a promi-
nent medicinal man that any deep seated
cough or cold on the lungs can be actu-
ally cured in FIVE hours by the clock.
Opium and morphine have been resorted
to in the past, as relief measures. But
now it is learned that the system must
be treated to rid 1t of inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrup does the work so quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical.
What heretofore has taken weeks to cure
can be accomplished in hours. Get this
formula filed or mix it at home and
always keep it on hand: One-half ounce
fluid Wild cherry bark, one ounce com
pound essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. shake the
bottle and take twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then take one
half to one teaspoonful three or -four
times day until the system is purified
and toned up. Give children less accord
| ing to age. One filling will usually cure a
/ whole family, as the dose is small.

RoUT THE HOUSE FLY.

The Philadelphia North American
gives us the following data on the
house fly. Read it and then get busy:
The fly's sting is less severe than
that of the mosquito, and it does not
breed the parasites of disease in its
body, but it is still the more danger
Gus pest. The fly's mode of inocula-
ton is generally by depositing the
germ it carries both inside and on
the surface of its body upon the food
that man eats.
Bred in the filth of barnyards and
city dumps, the house fly lives up to
its greatest possibilities as a dissent
nator of filth and disease Every fly
is estimated to possess 1900 very
minute foot hairs that exude a Shiny
fluid. On these hairy legs it can
carry 100000 bacteria that it hastens
to deposit upon the food of some fam
lily.
These bacteria may live for two
weeks, and so can be carried long
distances on the fly's legs; or, as
they are indigestible, they can be car
ried in the alimentary canal of the
fly and spread the contagion many
miles from the original source, a fact
that a Chicago woman has establish
ed after careful work in her labora-
tory:
For example, house fly will carry
and distribute mechanically the tuber-
culosis bacillus in its most virulent
form The house fly will eat these
bacilli in enormous numbers, but it
will not digest them. They will pass
through its intestinal tract, and
emerge as fully alive, as virulent, as
deadly as before.
Therefore, we do not speak in any
spirit of eXaggeration when we say
that there should be striving to
cleanse every home of flies as if each
of the seemingly innocent insects
were a scorpion. For twelve genera
tions Of descendants, each a poison
bearer, is the seasons progeny Of
every female fly.
