way of discipline, but forgets the

The Turkish official statement of
December 18th says: "a British
cruiser unsuccessfuIly bOmbarded
Joppa and GAIA, in Palestine, on the
Mediterranean.
The mention of these historic sea-
ports in connection with the fighting
carried on throughout almost the
whole of the Eastern hemisphere
conjures up memories of their past.
GAIA is the place where Samson
got ''roped in" by a designing woman
among the daughters of the enemies
of the children of Isreal, but made a
successful getaway. The Bible ac-
count says: And it was told the
Gazites, saying, Samson is come hith-
er. And they compassed him in, and
laid wait for him all night in the gate
Of the city, and were quiet all the
night. saying, in the morning, when
it is day, we shall kill him. And
Samson lay till midnight and took
the doors of the gate of the city, and
the two posts, and went away with
them. bar and ALL and put them up
on his shoulders, and carried them

avoid the command of the Lord to
warn the Ninevites of their wicked
ness. We all know what happened to
Jonah At Joppa Peter brought back
to life Tahibitha, otherwise known as
Dorcas, after she had been laid out
for burial. 1t was also at Joppa that
Peter had his remarkable vision
which convinced him that there was
nothing unclean which the Lord has
cleansed," and after that it is to be
assumed that Peter INDUCED in food
he had never before eaten. Joppa
also was the seaport where the ships

Martyrs of Work.
From the Triton Gazette.

In the death of Senator West the
state lost a typical Southern gentle
man of the old school; of a type that
is fast disappearing. He was liv-
ing embodiment of the traditions of
the Old South, although he was such
a strong part of the new.
His death breaks another of the
links that connected us with the days
when men counted for more than
money and mind was esteemed above
material. He was a gallant gentle
man, a firm friend and loyal citizen
of Georgia and the South. His life
left an impress on the educational
work of the state that should endear
him to the young men and women OF
the present day as well as those of
the days to come.
Even his death was probably due
to service given his country. The
summers in Washington are very try
ing and the long sessions of con-
gress with 10 periods for rest be-
tween have taken heavy toll in lives
of our best men.
There was Jim Griggs, whose life
vitality was Slapped by summer ses-
sion of the ways and means commit
tee; there was Anderson Roddenbery,
killed by overwork in his country's
service; there was A. o. Bacon, an
other victim of overwork in the same
cause; and now comes his successor,
William Stanley West.
The roll call is an honorable one
and they died in a good cause, but
thew were all men whom their state
and nation could i'll spare.

What Hog Cholera Costs,

In the current issue of the Farm
and Firesidey a most excellent farm
paper published at Springfield, Ohio,
appears the first of a series of ar
ticles on hog cholera in which there
are many facts and suggestions Of
great interest to the public and of
value to the producers. The author
says that when a disease like the
foot and mouth disease comes along
we get alarmed and do something.
He says that in the case of hog 8hol-
era, however, we sit idly by and let
it take it's toll, amounting Tin 1879
to forty pounds of meat for every
family in the United States. This is
certainly an amazing fact, well worth
the attention of the country.

Elkton, KY, March 9.-The re-
cent decision of the Court of APP
peals by which over 400 prisoners
at Eddyyille and Frankfort will
soon be released under the terms of
the parole law, is proving quite an
assistance to Southern Kentucky
farmers in securing labor, of which
there is great scarcity throughout
this section. As no convict can be
released until he has secured en-
ployment. and as many of them are
not skilled laborers, they are eager
ly taking advantage OF the opportun-
ity to secure their liberty by work
ing on farm. Several farmers OF
the Trenton vicinity have made ar
rangements for the services OF fif-
teen colored convicts whose mini
mum terms will soon expire.
