We know of no sickness in our

At a meeting at the colored church
neap Dr. Black’s, ou Sabbath of last
week, a disturbance was occasioned
by a drunken rough making his ap
pearance on the scene and exhibit
ing a razor and pistol to th* terror
of the men lawfully inclined. If such
demonstrations of lawlessness are
allowed to go unchecked and un
punished, peaceful worshipers will
soon find that their church work will
have to be abandoned. Why this
pistol and razor "toting” fraternity
are allowed to stalk the highway and
enter public gatherings is something
we can’t understand. If they were
properly dealt with the chaingang
and penitentiary forces would be
materially reinforced. If the law
can’t he enforced it might as well he
expended from the statute books,
altogether.

BIG LINCOLN CELEBRATION.

‘T»ng live Dr. King’s New Discovery,
King of Throat and Lung Remedies!”
of which Mrs. Julia Ryder Paine,
Truro, Mass., says; “It never fails
to give Immediate relief and to
quickly cure a cough or cold.” Mrs.
Paine’s opinion is shared by a ma
jority of the inhabitants of thig coun-
j try. New Discovery cure! weak
lungs and sore throats after all other
remedies have failed; and for coughs
and colds It’s the only sure cure.

Folding Canes For Women.
Every little while an effort Is made
to Introduce the walking stick for wo
men, but the efforts fail, says the New
York Press. Who among women wants
to bother with a stick in the subway
and ou surface cars, where all is hus
tle and bustle? Nobody wants such a
stick, except when a desire for physical
vengeance on a brutal guard takes pos
session of an injured woman. One
needs to find a crevice on this footstool
that is unoccupied in order to curry a
long stick with peace. But maybe this
difficulty will he overcome at last. The
folding cane is being Imported. Like
