Shall I'm Stamped Out. Owinu
to the failhful'work of Dr. I E Green,
Supcrinlendenl of Health, assisted by
other physicians, the snail pox in Halifax
has about been stamped nut. It has now
been six week sinoe the five inmates of
the Ridley house were taken with the
disease, and a little over four weeks since
the sixth oase was discovereJ. They are
now all well and will bo discharged with
in the next week.
In order to show the value of vaccina
tion, Dr. Green gives us the following
facts: Iu the house where Robinson
was takeu with small p n there were eight
other inmates of the house exposed to
the disease. They had all been vaccina
ted about a week before the sua ill p ix ap
peared on Robiuson and not a single one
of i hem took it. Tbty have been revac-
cinated, and are now considered safe and
will be discharged in a few days. In the
Ridley family were five, not vaccinated,
and they all had the disease.
The coon who was placed io the ten
mtside of ihe corporate limits is all right
and will be discharged soon.
The two cases at Halifax ate well, one
has been discharged and the other will b.

Joyons Easter.
NEXT SUNDAY
IS THE (MEAT CHRISTIAN FESTIVAL, A
DAY DEAR TO THE HEARTS OF ALL
THL'B FOLLOWERS OF THE CHRIST.
SUND,
Ulster
DAY la'Dt will yiclJ to joyous
aster and throughout Christendom
glad anthems of praise will proclaim the
Resurrection.
The celebration of Easter is conducted
on a magnificent scale wherever the
Christian religion fljutishes It is the
greatest day of tho year, greater even
than Christmas, for the resurrection ol
Christ is of deeper moment to I he church
than His birth or death. For what pur
pose would Christ have lived and died
had lie not risen again from the dead?
The observance of Easter was not in
stituted until some 300 years after
tho death of Christ. Tho name was
J taken from tho ancient Anglo-Saxon god
dess of Spring Ostcrn or Kostrc
whoso festival was celebrated about the
time of the Christian Easter. No cele
bration was arranged by the Jewish
Christians at all, but on the 14th day of
tho month, immediately following the
vernal equinox, which was tho day on
which the old Jewish feast of the pass
over was celebrated, tho Jewish Chris
tians celebrated the death of Christ, to
them tho paschal lamb, Christ having
died, according to their chronology, oo
the dato of the celebration of the Jewish
passover. The celebration of the Jewish
Christians was therefore for the death
and not the resurrection of Christ. The
Gentile Christians, however, were not
bound by any of the Jewish traditions.
Sunday being the Lird's day to them,
they therefore celebrated the resurrection
of Christ on the Sunday following the
14th of the moon of March, the day on
which Christ died.
The early church was torn with bitter
dissensions regarding the celebration of
Eister. Various attempts were made to
fix a stable day which would bo observed
by the oburch as a whole, but they all
failed. Finally, at the Council of Nice,
A. D. 325, the question was settled once
for all, and the date now observed
throughout the Christian world was es
tablished. Easter day was then fixed as
the first Sunday after that lull moon
which happens on or near after March
21st. If the full moon happens on a
Sunday, the following Sunday is Easter.
The day can therefore be as early as
March 22nd and as late as April 25th.
How eggs came to be bucIi a feature
of Ei9ter celebrations is said lobe that
owing to this variety of food being barred
from the list of those things which might
be eaten during the fast days of Lent a
large stock was usually left on hand wbeu
Easter came to remove the restriction.
The accumulation of eggs had to be dis
posed of in some way and, there being
too many eggs to be eaten, the surplus
was given to the children to play with,
and so aroso the custom of coloring tbe
eggs that has survived to the present
day.

jerked the line from a running raft and
the hook oaiue like a streak of lighliiing

RINGWOOD LETTER.
HEAVY TOBACCO UttOP TO MB PLANTED
TROrilt.E AUAIN IN COONDOM
PERSONAL MENTION.
After much rainy weather, farmers
have at last commenced to make some
show in the way of preparing for a crop
Tobacco plants arc coming up nicely and
the indications arc that a heavy crop will
be transplanted during tbe month of
May. hilc laruiers who have had ex
perience in haudling and growing tobacco
may plunt tobacco, still they should exer
cise discretion and not put in heavy crops
aud neglect the raising if corn and home
supplies. It is a foolish idea to plant
one crop with the hope of buying every
thing cousumcd on the farm with the
proceeds of that single crop. Let the
farmer first make his meat and bread at
home and then all the tobacco and cotton
he can, and you may lake my word for
it he will be prosperous. I speak from
observation and experience, i know
farmers today who ten years ago were
prosperous, but who by raising nothing
except tobacco, have impoverished their
lands, worn out their plow team and when
Christmas came had not a barrel of corn,
and no money, except what they borrowed
to buy with. The history of tobacco
farming is that it has such a fascina
tion about it that a mau will neglect
everything else, and in the end generally
winds up "broke. it every year were a
good tobacco year then it might be ad
visable to make nothing except tobacco
but the fact is only one year in three ot
four is a good tobacco year, 1 speak
knowingly about this, because I have
been raising tobacco for ten vears
and know that in this section some of Ihe
very best prices have been gotten during
that time. In the end it is always best
to make all you consume at home and then
make all the market crops you can extra.
You can easily tell a farmer who plants
nothing except tobacco, his stock is al
ways thin, his oorn crib always has a big
hollow in it, and his meat house door is
off the hioges, his land is thin and poor,
and his pocket works outside his paots
because it never has any weight to keep it
down. Ry making clover, field peas, pea
nuts and cbufas meat can be raised right
here in Halifax county for 3 and 4 centB
per pound. 1 know it to be so for I have
tried it. I give the above observations
for what they are worth. I speak from a
farmer's standpoint, having been raised on
a farm and lo the "manor born."
Trouble has broken loose in "Coon
dom" again. The "legislaty has mended
de Consccusbun, and tuk de privilege to
wote from de cullud man, and den pealed
de stock law and tuk all de freedom from
CufFcy's razor backs and hollow horn sons
and daughters of taurus." There is
mourning and weeping in the land, Sam
bo, for his beloved right to "wote," griev
ing and refusing to be comforted. At the
last election io Ringwood by some means
or other the whites did not vote until the
"ooons" had deposited many a piece of
paper io the ballot boxes. Cuffey thought
there would be some "trick io the bag"
about his toting and so when the polls
were declared open he rushed to them
like soldiers to the charge. There was
no chance for a "pale face" to get near
the polls. Bro. Hilliard Pulleo, Presi
dent of ihe "Jughaodle Club," arrived
oo tbe ground and at once took in the
situation. He saw the sons of Ham had
everything their way and satisfied him
self that the white man was "no whar."
After depositing his ballots in the boxes
and feeling as jubilant as though he had
just visited a moonshine still, he struck
out fur home. Oo the way he met sev
eral white gentleman and being asked by
them how the election was progressing
he replied, "De white folks done gin it up
dey ain't even got tickets." But after
the elect ioa and the full result was known
Bro. Hilliard was heard addressing some
members ol his club as follows: "I told
yer so, I told ycr if de white folks "ever
got in dey would put de fixings on de
nigger aud now dey doue got him har
nessed and a brand new sell at dat."

Tennyson (I believe it is) says: "In
the Spring a young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love." We hive a
scarcity of young men in this section, but
a good crop of "old widowers" with a
scattering of widows and "old maids" and
judging from appearances some of them
have allowed their "fancies" to "turn"
pretty heavily towards the "sentimental"
as the spting approaches.

gets the baby started right
again. If the baby is nurs
ing but does not thrive, then
the mother should take the
emulsion. It will have a
good effect both upon the
I moihrr and child. Twenty-

REMEDY.
HLOOD TOISON CURED.
When my first child was bom I had
great trouble with my breast. It would
breuk out with an itching humor that
was almost more than I could stand. It
was something like tho thrash and it
seemed to poison my milk. Wherever
tho milk would touch mc or my child it
would cause the humor to break out and
would make the child's mouth so sore
that I was driven to wean the child and
raise it on the bottle. I had the trouble
to return with five of my children, and
came near losing them all, I was sor
rowful io my heart not lo nurse my
babies, but could not do it, and was
driven to wean them. My fourth and
fifth child died from it, as t 11 j diseate
settled on the bowels. We had all the
benefit of medical trea tment that
the county afforded and spent hun
dreds of dollars trying to gel
well and it almost broke m: up. Before
the birth of my sixth child I met Mrs.
Joe Person at Smith! icld, and from
what she told mc of her Remedy , I
ooncluded to try it. I bo ught some of
the Remedy and Wash from Mr. Hood,
aod before I had used the six bottles I
was perfectly cured. At the birth of my
D'rt child I was well and have since had
two children, but have never had any
more trouble with my breast and my
children were born well and healthy and
I was able ro nurse them.
One of my little gills was poisoned
with poison oak, and nothing gave her
any relief until I gave her Mrs. Joe Per
son's Remedy and Wash and one-hall
bottle of the Remedy and one package of
ihe Wash cured her. I don't know how
to express myself about that medicine,
I have never used anything like it, and
I do not think there is any other
medicine known that will do what it does
I wouldn't take $500 for what it did for
me, aod if I could have known of it
years ago I would have been better off in
the world than 1 am today.
