The Historic City Of Delhi.


Delhi Is the most historic city In all
India. II may not be the oldest, al
though 1t lays claim TO n respectable
middle age, dating from 1000 B. G. At
that time the master OF Delhi called
himself emperor OF all the world, and
empcrors, at least OF India, have ruled
there almost ever since Old Delhi,
without the walls. is city OF pictur-
csQac ruins. Imperial Delhi. the mod
crn city, was created by Shah Jchan. n
contemporary OF Queen Elizabeth.
From the date Of the first Mohnm-
mcdnn incursion, 4. -. 715, perpetual
warfare ragged round Delhi until ut
length she yielded TO the irresistible
power Of the Moguls. The city was al
ternately Mohammcdan and Hindu
during great many years and finally.
In 1903. was mnde British by General
Lake. Delhi has tho finest and largest
mosque I'm India. II took 5000 mch six
years 10 build It. The noble tomb OF
the Emperor ITumaynn marks the
change Of creed which followed the
Moslcm invasion, while the obscrva-
tory OF Jai Singh and the deserted hall
Of the seventy columns recall the short
triumph of Brahmanism.

Letter to ClOptOn Sykes,
Aberdeen, Miss,

Dear sir: We make Devoe. and of
course know what there is in it; but
don't, your neighbors don't and the
people don't So we get the official
chemist of every State in the Union
to analyze it and tell what he finds;
of course, they find what we putin !:
lead zine and oil, little turpentine
dryer, and color for tints. And that's
paint. Every agent has the analysis
of Devoe by his State chemist.
We also analyze all other paints,
and what do we we find? We find
eight made of the same materials as
Devoe: all paint: pure paint. But
we find no one of the same proper
tions as Devoe: no one SO strong.
And people are trying Devoe along
side of these other paints, and find
ing-out how they work: what it
costs to paint Devoe; what it costs
to paint those several paints; how
they wear alongside and compare
lively. There's no guess-work in
any of these results. A gallon De-
voc goes further than any other gal
Ion in all paint; it therefore saves
both parts of first cost of a Job. OF
paint and labor. 1t makes the best
job of the lot besides. 1t takes years
and experiences by the thousand to
find that out. yours truly,

Cattle Ticks TO BE Eradicated

The Board of Supervisors, yes
terday, decided to begin the work
of tick eradication in this county.
The United States and State gov
ernments will aid and share the ex-
pense. DIR. II. b. Leonard, under
under whose supervision the work
will be placed, states that the coun-
ty can be cleaned i'm eight months
at local cost of about $500. EX-
cepting three counties, Mississippi
is under quarantine and it is of the
utmost importance that this quar-
antine be raised 50 as 10 afford the
free movement Of cattle to markets
out of the State. The process Of
destroying the tick is simple and
inexpensive. 1t consists in apply
ing grease to the infected animals,
or in rotating the herds to different
pastures. 1t is stated that 6G per
cent of cattle in infected distri 2
die from fever caused 10y the ticl
While this is true, the milk and
flesh used as food from infected
animals is highly charged with dis
ease and unsafe for consumption.
In view of these facts, it would
seem that the people of the county
would cooperate in the work o. de-
stroying the pests and put cattle
raising on a profitable basis, as
we'll as insure pure milk, butter,
and beet for themselves. The
Weekly commends the action OF
the Board and urges the people to
enter heartily into the good work
of tick eradication. This paper,
for several years, has published
strong articles along this line that
have been contributed to its col.
umns, and is pratified to see that
they are going to bear fruit.

MAOR RI LAW MAKERS.

In the New Zealand parliament
there are four native or Maori rep
resentatives. The old-time Maori
members were rather rough, only
partially civilized lot, who had gone
through the wars with the British,
and whose only conception of par
Lament was place in which to
ventilate their personal grievances
IN prodigiously long oratdons. But
present-day Maori members are col
lege-bred, highly civilized, we'll
dressed legislators. Once in the
olden time famous fighting chief
took his seat, and there was rnme-
diately a general exodus of white NJ.
P.'s from his vicinity. With a sub
lime contempt for European conven-
tons, he had come into the house
with the tail of an ancient and odor-
ferrous shark Protruding from his
pocket.

pREvEN1NEs OF SICKNESS.


The County Health Ofncer takes
this opportunity to request the citi-
zens OF Monroe county to screen all
homes against mosquitoes and flies.
Tha. this should be done at once, and
if properly and thoroughly done, it
will prevent a great deal of sickness
later on, and will be great saving to
all those who do this diligently, not
only financially, but from untold wor-
ry and anxiety from the immediate
results of the disease when it attacks
your loved ones.
The Health Officer would most
earnestly request everybody TO do
away with damp places around the
homes and barns, cellars, open wells.
broken bottles and jugs. damp horse
and COW stalls, and anything else that
holds water for a few days following
a raiu. All these places act as breed
ing place for mosquitoes and flies All
low ground, stables, wells. etc., that
cannot be drained, should be kept
oiled or lined, once TO twice a week
The outlay for this would be small
and the saving in sickness and death
would be great. All vegetables, slops,
and garbage of all kinds, should be
kept in well covered vessels and al
lowed to stand for ouly few hours
at most.
1t is impossible for the Health Off
Ger 10 visit every home and place i'll
this great county of Monroe and see
about these things, therefore the au-
thorities would appreciate it if any
and all nuisances were promptly re-
ported, and such measures as neces-
sary would be taken to suppress the
same.
Do away with the common house
fly. keep his filthy feet, which are al
ways laden with some kind OF ma
nure, from the mouth, cheeks and
food of yourself and family. This will
do away with 75 out of every 100 eases
of typhoid Typhoid iu Monroe coun-
ty. For the next twelve months, de-
stroy the mosquitoes, the anopholes,
and all malaria tchills and fever will
disappear as if by magic, and the way
to get rid of these pests is to screen
and clean-up-be decent.
Labor and costs will be very little,
compared to the money saved in
drugs aud doctors bills, not counting
the physical and mental worry, that
will be prevented.
Respectfully.
l.. G. FEEMSTER,
County Health officer.
