How to be Heajtpy.
Editor 1 lispatch : Ttfero is noth¬
ing so important to the human fam¬
ily as good health. Without it, the
crown of a King and the gold of
Ophir are empty toys and life is a
I burden.
If 1 had all the money that has
been wasted for patent medicines in
trying to of tain and preserve good
health 1 would bo the richest muu
in Georgia. 1 am going to give your
readers a gratuitous prescription,
and if they will observe directions
closely and ever got sick afterwards,
I will treat them free. Many dis¬
eases are inherent—transmitted from
parent to child and are incurable.
Therefore, it is a great importance
to so manage, if possible, as to be
born of healthy parentage. But if
you have not taken that-preeaution,
we must treat the case as it is.
First, you are to guard well your
dieting, both in kind and quantity.
Experience has already taught you
what you should not eat, and you
should btoed it or you will suffer the
consequences. Over-eating is only
a greedy habit, and can be culti¬
vated into gormanism. Such peo¬
ple are always grunting with dis-
pepsia and taking pills to counteract
their gluttony. Half the cases of
indigestion could be roleived by eat¬
ing less and working more. Laziness
is often a prime factor in disease. A
certain amount of bodily exercise is
indispensible to good health ; hence,
a kind providence has ordained that
a man must eat to live and work to
eat. Stimulants should be used
very cautiously, if at all. A healthy
person don’t need it, but it can be
used until the system will not run at
all without it. The tobacco users, I
in its various forms, would sooner
be without their dinner than their
tobacco. The habitual drinker rises
much earlier than he otherwise
would, to take his morning dram,
nor: is he lit for anything until he
gets it. I once knew a preacher
that could scarcely preach at all un¬
less he was half drunk. Then he was
able, profound and handled his sub¬
jects easy. He knew it and freely
confessed it to me. It'was the re¬
sult of an early habit, from which
he could not escape. I don’t tell
this to ibduce other preachers to get
drunk to see if it will make them
preach bettor, but to warn young
men agaifist forming the ruinous
habit. Now, every reader will be
ready to say “This preacher was a
Hardshell Baptist,” but he was not,
but was a good, unfortunate man,
and-agood preacher.
Thousands of chronic cases of
sick-headache are induced by the
use of coffee, and then coffee must
be used to prevent it. Strange fact,
but it is true. I have been a great
sufferer from sick-headacho, and
without a cup of coffee for breakfast
I was sure for it. And during the
four years of Confederate war, when
I got no coffee, I never had an at¬
tack of headache after a short time
at first.
Many more points belong to this
line of health directory, but I have
given more now than will bo ob¬
served. and I will only add one
more, vis : If you would be healthy
you must never allow yourself to get
mad. It has been proven by dem¬
onstration that digestion does not
progress at ail while a person is mad.
If one should continue mad for a
month, his system would perish for
want of nourishment. A real mad
person never wants to eat. Digestion
is stopped and there is no demand
for more. As you prize your own
health* as well as the good feelings
of others, refrain from getting mad,
else you forfeit recourse on my
guarantee of health.

Pneumonia is one of the most dan¬

Col. John F. Stone, of the Savan¬
nah News,- is now in the race for
governor, of Georgia. If elected (of
which there can be no reasonable
doubt), his first official act will be to
abolish poverty.—Ocilla Dispatch.
Then he can’t get the Gazette’s vote;
that’s a dead moral certainty. This
is the most underhand attempt to
abolish country newspapers ever
brought before the pmblic, and Col.
Stone is the last man we would have
ever believed guilty of it.—Tifton
Gazette. Then poverty and the
country newspapers is one and the
same thing, eh! Well, give Col.
Stone lime. He can easily change
his platform.if public opinion seems
to-justify; it.
After a short illness of pneumo¬
nia during which time his sufferings
were beyond description, Mr. Barse
Parrish, of the Lois neighborhood,
passed to his reward last Monday at

county loses a good- citizen a wife
and children are deprived of a good
husband, and father, and an aged
mother mourns an only son. Mr.
Parrish was somewhere near 38 years
of-age, in Tha prime of middle life,
and was one of those citizens who
are the hope and mainstay, of a com¬
munity. Honest, truthful, upright
in all liis dealings with mankind,
only the wisdom and providence of
God is a plausible reason why he
should have been called from earth
bo soon.—B. C. Nows.
