The song was rendered in remarkable
touching cadences and clearness of voice
by the young men. The people present
enjoyed this singing very much, and they
fully appreciate the good offices of Mrs.
Eckhardt and her singers to the fullest
extent, and are grateful to her and them
for the nice treats they hand out now
and then in both the churches here. And
what is more, wefeel very fortunate in
having such talent in our midst to be used
in holy services with becoming dignity,
feeling the respect for worship in the house
of God.

People who love flies enough to let them
travel with their filthy legs and feet
over the victuals they eat, or to tickle
eheir faces and bald heads when they
wish to take maps in day time, are per-
fectly welcome to the nasty typhoid-bear
ing pests to their hearts content. And
you can have an abundance of the delight
ful(?) treaders by simply neglecting to
keep kitchen, dining room, out houses and
stables clean of the various kinds of filth
allowed, by neglect, to remain unremoved
or dosed with disinfectant Of some sort.
Flies breed in the nastiest Of places about
the premises, and because one does not
see with the naked eye what the insect
carries on his legs is no sign that filth
is not put on your victuals. Any reliable
health officer should be able to inform you
as 20 methods Of exterminating the flies
if you wan ito get rid of them. Using
screen doors ard windows is one help.
If we read Alright, the legislature has
passed law licensing dogs, or prohibit
ing their running at large. This to en-
shcep-raising.
The papers tell cf backwoods man
in Kentucky exclaiming: 81 am tired cf
raising dogs and buying hogs" That's
what's the matter with many poor fell
low in Mississippi. It's dogs n prefer
encc to hogs.
No, thanks; Florence has a fine enough
school within her bounds without taking
in the big Normal school lately legalized
by the legislature.
