hiki, in the government of Suwalki,

ST. MARK 1881.

And again, departing from the coasts
of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the
sea of Galilee, through the midst of
the coasts of Decapolis.
And they bring unto him one that
was deaf, and had an impeachment in
his speech; and they beseech him to
put his hand upon him.
And he took him aside from the null
titude, and put his fingers into his
ears, and he spit, and touched his
tongue;
And looking UP to heaven, he sighed
and saith unto him, Ephphatha, thai
is, Be opened.
And straightway his ears were open
ed, and the string of his tongue was
loosed, and he spake plain.
And he charged them that they
should tell no man; but the more hi
charged them, so much the more {
great deal they published it,.
And were beyond measure astonish
ed, saying, He hath done all thing!
we'll: he maketh both the deaf to hear
and the dumb to speak.

CHANGE IN BANK CASHIER.

H. T. Pye has resigned the position
of cashier of the Farmers & Merchants
Bank, and G. NJ. Downs was checked
in to succeed him to that position,
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Pye's resignation does not mean
that he will leave West Feliciana. On
he contrary, he expects to remain here
and engage in other pursuits. He will
retain his interest in the bank and
give that institution the benefit of his
knowledge of banking affairs.

Some people have habit OF doing
this, and that, / believe, is usually a
sign that their condition Is little
below par.
That confused feeling, that inability
to understand what people mean. or
to decide what you want to do next,
which most of us feel once in while,
is another red flag on the track to
warn us that we had better go slow.
What do mean by 'go slow" Well
for one thing | mean it literally. Stop
hurrying. It takes just about twice as
much energy to do thing in hurry
as to do the same thing in your own
time.
Again, stop worrying. 1t takes twice
as much energy to cross bridge
twice.
Be outdoors all you can.
| Add an hour to your sleep.
See if your eyes are in proper con.
dition,
Try to remember that after all you
don't have to hold the whole universe
ON your shoulders; that if you do your
| best that is all that is required of you,
and Providence will take care of the
rest.
Try that course of treatment for
month, and | am quite sure Nature
will withdraw her red flags.
