Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant j and praise is comely. 2 The Lord doth up Joreusalem; he gathereth to-gether the out-casts of Israel. 3 He healeth the broken in heart, and v bindeth up their wounds. 4 He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them ail by their names. 5 Great is our Lord and of great power his understanding is infiuite. . \ 6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. 7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God. 8 WHO covereth the heavans with clouds, . -who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to : the young ravens which cry. . . 10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, he taketh not pleasure in the v-lege of a man. ' 11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem, praise thy God, 0 Zlon. 13 For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates, he has blest thy children within thee. 14 He maketh peace in thy borders and lilleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 0 TTa flonHofh fnrfh hie mmmondmPntA upon the earth: his word runneth very '' i swiftly. j 16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 17 He castoth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold? 18 He sendeth out his word and meeteththem: hecauseth his winds to blow and the waters flow. 19 He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statuesand his judgements unto Israel 20 He hath hot dealt so with any nation; and as for his judgements, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord. 147 Psalm ' < ; t I Rev. P B. Wells goes to Kentuckyj Rev. P. B.

Mr. Wells paid Abbeville a flying visit Ion last Saturday bidding good bye to numbers of friends. The church to which Mr. Wells has been called is one of the best in the South. While we are sorry to see him leave the State still we feel that he is the man for the larger field. He is a good Shepherd. + ? There were no padded returns from Abbeville howeverMontgomery, Ala,Nov. 15.? As the result of a personal visit by Gov. Comer to nearly all the saloons in the city last night, in many of which he witnessed the sale of beer and whiskey, in violation of the prohibition laws, wholesale raids were made this afternoon and before sundown it is estimated that $35,000 worth of liquor had been carted away by officers. The raids followed a conference between the governor and sheriff Hood, but what transpired at the conference could not be learned. Gov. Comer seems to be a live wire. He is to be commended in doing the things required of him by his oath of office. Some may think he is overstepping the boundaries of his duties in thus. making personal inspection of the capital but he is' not. The laws of his state are being broken and I it is the Governors duty to stop it if possible. But what will he do with that 35000 worth oi tire water is wnat we wouia uKe w nupw will he pour it into a gutter like we do in / South Carolina? ; t? Telephone Office will Close Thanksgiving Day.

The Great Fear The first mark of civilization is the teniencv in man to provide for his household, to increase his estate, to lay aside for a rainy day, This sentiment does not enter into the psychology of the savage. He docs not faro for riches. If he has gold it is because he likes to look at it, not for its intrinsic value. Tho more civilized a man becomes the more evident is the propensity to stint and save and build up an estate. Without such a propensity, civilized people would be worth little mure than savage people iu wealth. But the cost to civilization is great. Work does not harm any one. It is a medicine, a panacea for many ills, but worry kills, and yet we must worry. Civilization demands of the young man that he build him up an estate-make money-else he is a failure. To meet these demands to-day millions of men are striving. They are standing by their work with every muscle tense to the breaking point, with glaring eyes fixed on the goal-fortune. They do not see their fellows in the light. Only their own fortunes interest them. They have no time to relax, to look around, to take a deep breath, to enjoy life. The fortune must be made. And over thousands of troubled hearts comes the horrid fear of failure. In theii associations with one another they mention hot this fearful haunt that dogs each day of their existence, and yet nine out ol ten see this spectre and know him as an acquaintance. Men talk witn one anotner they exchange confidences, they joke, bul not once does one ask the other whethei or not he sees the haunt. To drop beneath his station, to fall shorl of accomplishing what his friends, hit brothers, his kinsmen accomplish, looks to the average man like failure. Could the minds of men be opened prominenl in their machinery would bo found this ruling passion to get money and around it and about it the ever present fear ol failure. N One reason the words "honesty" and "dishonesty" are so prominent in civilized tongues is due to the "haunt." Men iu their mad reach for riches are prone tc fall into questionable practices, forgetting every thing but that they must become wealthy. They would get rid of tht haunt. But we should remember that even when a man has gained his goal this haunting fear of failure and penury does not leave him. The phantom still remains in the fear of losing what he has made. There are to-day peoplo in our Pooi Houses who are bettor satisfied with theii existence than are some' of our richest men. The phantom doen't worry them else they would not be where they are. But we have called this fear a phantom, when it is not a phantom. It is as real as life. It stalks by our side, it walks witc you to your work, it follows you ho:ne at night. It even visits you in your dreams and it is real. It shows you the gray hairs in your head and then shows you the thiness of your poor pocket book. It calls attention to your stiffening joints and points out the hovering cloud of a coming rainy day. It points you to youi fat neighbor and tells you "hustle." A relentless, ever present, harrowing goad, Bridge. This is about the "bridgiost" town this side of Venice. Bridge is a new disease It affects women mostly, men being rarely subject to the trouble. The disease is not difficult of diagnosis Like malarial fever it is intermittent Sometimes the spasms come once a week, but frequently twice a week and in acutc cases they come on daily. Most of the invalids afflicted with the disease here have it in the acute form. The symptoms are marked by extreme nervousness. In the mornings it would be difficult fo tell that any thing is wrong orith fha notion! hilt. tnwflrH thft ftffcflrnonn the poor afflicted one will dart out from amidst her household gods, hide herself under the biggest hat in the house and scuttle away from home like a hermit crab on a hunt for fiddlers. The disease is especially severe in that It attacks so many housewives. In such cases the children of the household find it encumbent on them to take care ol themselves as best they can, for when the spasm comes on the mind of the poor patient is a blank so far aF the home is concerned. This absolute forgetfulness of the home lasts sometimes for hours, and in most every case until the 6pasm is over. Patients have been known to leave infants at home to get along as best they uould, until the mental aberration had been dissipated. Une striking characteristic of the disease is that those afflicted with it gravitate to each other. While the spasm lasts they are insensible to the [proximity of any person not afflicted. Not even the husband of a wife who is in this state suffices to distract her mind from Hie clutches of Bridge. Diagnosticians have traced the cause of this disease to a lack of wholesome work. The trouble is peculiar to conjested districts, the rural districts being nrnpfinnllv fron frnm itfl r>lnt.f?hpK Thftfifi women who are thoroughly conversant with the kitchen and active in the nursery seem to be entirely immune. The more serious find the hopeless cases come from among those women who rise late and who are delicate about house work. The treatment is evident from the diagnosis. Much sincere sympathy is felt for the afflicted families and while the disease is generally conceded to be very difficult of ,'ure a movement is being proposed to alleviate the burden distressed families by the introduction of volunteer nurses. The State Board of health not having mentioned the disease at its last meeting eads us to believe that it is more prevaent in this vicinity than elsewhere; for if it ivere making inroads in other parts of the state as it is here it would surely have demanded attention.

HOW THE MISSISSIPPI SOMETIMES EATS UP REAL ESTATE. Captain King of Greenville Tells Hon the Father of Waters Swallowed Several Thousand Dollars' Worth of Kis Tropertj j In One Nl[jht. s "No use talking, the Mississippi river ii .. tho most contrary tiling on earth," re"e marked CaptaiD S. II. King of Greenville, Miss. "During tho civil war, it will be remembered, thcro was a double bend, j much In tho shapo of the letter S, of the j * river at Vicksburg. General Grant, you j (* know, wanted to changc tho course of the it river by cutting a channel through De i ' Soto peninsula, thus cutting off the upper I r, bend and causing tho river to flow straight J across below Vicksburg and leading the j town high and dry. Grant could then | have sent his gunboats by Vicksburg and 1(1 escaped the shelling from tho upper batteries of the Confederates north of the town. He put General McCiernand and 'several thousand men to work at cutting s this channel across tho poninsula in front II of the town, and thoy worked for 6ome g time, notwithstanding tho harassment i from tho lower batteries of the enemy. 18 But tho contrary rivet wouldn't show the ,( least desire of accepting such an artificial i, channel anyway. Tho plan was finally ,1 abandoned and Grant's gunboats had to t. make the run before both the upper and i-i lower batteries. But in 1876 tho Missis c. sippi river, of its own accord, cut its way across I)o Soto peninsula bolow Vieks " burg, but farther up than Grant's artificial ?' channel was started. De Soto peninsula j. Is now Do Soto island, and tho body of u water in front of Vicksburg is now known i- as Centennial hike, taking tbo namo from if the year that tbo Centennial was held at i- Philadelphia. 1hi6 is only ono of many s" Instances showing how the Mississippi re fuses to submit to tho dictation of civil " engineers and how it follows it? own stubj born course, winding and washing it# ii way here and there at its own wilL D "13y the way, the Mississippi washed i- several thousand dollars out of my pocket In ono ::ight about 15 years ago. 4 At that ie timo I owned a row of houses which began almost three blocks away from the river In Greenville, Miss. One day a government engineer said to inc, 'Tho river will y some timo wash away its bank here, and t your buildings will tumble in.' ir "Well, I' laughed at him. Tho bank n was 75 feet high, and, besides, the river id was quito low. Ono morning I awoke to ' s learn that thero had been a big cave In of 'i the river bank tho night before, and that | a oouple of my buildings had been carried ^ awny. I joined tho crowd of people that y rushed to the river bank to see thi6 der etruction, and, I tell yoa, I never apirraointori il m torrlhlo nower of tho Fa the! >e of Waters until I witnessed this scene. n While I was standing thcro talking with friends another big slice of land, a block in width, crumbled away and fell into the river, carrying with it several more of my buildings. You can imagine how I felt, y because I had been drawing an income of $1,000 a month in rentals from my buildIngs. Now over half of them were a mass ,'(l of debris floating down the river, and my t real estato was only so much dirt in ths y bottom of the channel. (i "As I stood there watching my build lngs and ground slip away into tho river a citizen approached mo and said,'Capt tain, I'll give you f 1,600 for the remainder of your property.' " 'No, I'll not take less than 12,000,' said I. "The words had no more than left my [t. tongue when there was another cave in, r? and two moro of my lots and buildings i- tumbled into tho greedy river. The citizen li. then remarked to mo, 'Captain, I'll give >*' you ? 1,000 for yo ur property now.' !i" "I refused to entertain this proposition, * which, of course, was a pure speculation, as no human agency could stop the cave [g In. Pretty soon another one of my lota ;t and its building went into tho river, and my speculative friend then offered mo $800 y, for tho remainder of my property. Ey this ie tlmo I had coneludcd to trust to luck and stand all losses, and I refused to sell at ^ any prlco. I now had ono lot end one L building left. During the excitement au old colored woman curno up and suld to me: " 'See heah, cap'n, will ye give mo dem j brick what's In dat cellar under yer house?' d "I told her sho could have tho brick. J had a pile of new brick in tho ccllar1 under 2- my only remaining house. The old colli ored woman gavo her husband 26 cents to biro a team and wagon to haul away (' the brick. Now, upon my word of honor, |e what I am now going to Bay is truo. (j While tho old colored man was gono for a j. wagon another cavo in occurred, and mj t_ last house and lot, brick and cellar and all, tumbled iuto the; river. Tho cavo in is eame so suddenly thpt tho crowd of people ie standing on the bank had to ilco for their )' lives. After tho excitement had somewhat l? subsided the old eolored woman exclaimed: " 'Laws o' massy 1 Dere's my brick in de bottom o' do i-ibbcr, an I dono los' my [ , quatah.' >t "Of course, while tho old woman was y out 26 cents, I was out nnolhcr $1,000. 11 During this scries of cavo ins that day efforts wero being made to place a long frame store building on rollers and move ib to n place of safety.
