Never lean with the back upon any thin" that is cold. Never begin journey until the break fast has been eaten. Never take warm drinks and then im mediately go out in the cold. Keep the back, especially between the shoulder blades, well covered; also the chest well protected. Iu sleeping iu a cold room establish habit of breathing through the nose and never with the open mouth. After exercise of any kind nevers it in an opcu carnage or near t lie wiuuow ol a car for a moment. It is dangerous to alth or even life. When hoarse speak as little as possi ble until the hoarseness is recovered from, else tho voice may be permanently lost, or difficulties of the throat bo pro duced. Merely warm the back by the fire, and nuver continue keeping the back exposed lo the beat after it has become comforta bly warm. To do otherwise ia debilita ting. When going from a wurui atmosphere into a cooler unc keep the mouth closed so that the air may be warmed in its passage thiough the nose belore it reach es the lungs. Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. Never omit regular bathing, for unless the Aiii is in active condition, the cold will close the pures aud favor con- gesliou aud other diseases. Never stand still in cold weather, es pecially after having taken a slight de gree of exercise, and always avoid stand ing on ice or snow, or where the person is exposed to cold wind. WHAT BUTLER SAYS. WHAT MARION Ul'TI.ER SAYS ABOUT CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT. GOOD RESULTS A correspondent of the Charlotte Ob server interviewed Mr. Marion Butler in Washington, and hero is what he said about the present systems of town aud county government: 'As to the county governments noth ing is decided as yet. There will be full conference, however. There is u verf strong felling iu the West, embracing most of the Democrats, perhaps, in favor of popu'ar elections. The action of the County Commissioners in the matter of bonds his strengthened the desire for Magistrates elected by the people. As to Ihe Bjard of Audit, whether it will be sufficient as a check ou the action of the County Commissioners' government, much will depeud on the powers with rhieh they are invested and also on the character of the men choen; and regard ing city government the Legislature would, I think, listen to the members (roui Wilmington, Raleigh, Ooldsboro, etc., fittiog each case to the local require ments. I can only speak with full knowledge as to Ooldsboro where I live. The charter will be so changed as to break the rule of the existing ring not to disturb politics otherwise. The city would probably remain Democratic uuiess the voters changed tneir party ments." IPEEDY and LASTING RESULTS. VFAT PEOPLE. ... . 1 No Inconvenient. Simple, f mm .1 ""'"liur.. ASOOLOmT Mill"?

Older people will remember the morn ing of the 13th November, 1833, when the stars fell in numbers like snow flakes. Nature never indulged in such pyro technic display before, nor has she since, and never were people so terror-stricken This beautiful incident comes to us from that memorable morning. In ene of the smaller towns of Virginia the people were more overcome with excitement than else where, and rushing from their houses to a common centre, fell upon the ground nd together began piteously and earnest ly to beg for mercy. Just then s woman of strong faith and real devotion to Christ calmly said, "The heaven's declare the elorv of God." and at once her calmness became contagious and the piteous criesl were changed to tongs of praises to tbe God who made the stars and sent them on this excursion of now exceeding brilliancy.
