Columbia Sentinel. PUBLISHED EVENT THURSDAY AT HARLEM GEORGIA. ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN HARLEM. GA. THURSDAY, FEB. 11. 18S6. Is to inform you that your subscrip tion is due, and as we need the money, kindly ask all in arrears to come up and give us a helping hand by paying up their subscription. Why. We Sneeze. Its Origin Traced Bark to the Davs of Jacd. The custom of saying “God bless you” to one'who sneezed is supposed to have originated about, the year 750. There is a tradition that in the time of St. Gregory the Great the air w as filled with a peculiar influence, i and whoever happened to sneeze immediately died. The Pontiff promulgated a form of prayer and a wish to be said by those who felt compelled to sneeze, and which it was expected would avert the fatal effects. According to mythology the first . * sign of life made by Promethee's artificial man was a snezze. The rab bis give the custom a very ancient date, and, according to their tradi tion, soon after the creation God de creed that every living man should sneeze or.ee only, and that at that instant his soul sould depart from his body. Jacob, however, did net like such away of leaving the world, and asked God to make an exception in his favor. This was granted, and Jacob sneezed without dying. When the princess of the temporal powers of the world heard of this they order ed their subjects, when sneezing, to accompany it with thanksgiving for the preservation of life and prayers forj its continuance.'/According to Aristotle, the men who believed that the seat of the soul was in the head or brain regarded sneezing as one of most s>nsible and manifest operations of the head. The ancient apostle of learning gives no account of the origin of the operation —Ex. The Last Words of a Drunkard The following extracts were taken from one of the lectures of J. J. Talbot who recently died from the effects ot a drunken debauch at E.khart, Ind.: “But now the struggle is over. 1 can survey the field and measure the i losses. I had position high and holy. "The demon tore from around me the robes of my sacred office and sent ! me out, churchless and Godless, a very hissing and by wor 1 among men. Afterward I had business large and lucrative, ami my voice was heard in large courts, pleading for justice, mercy and right. But the dust gathered on my books, and no foot- > falls crossed the threshold of the drunkard’s office. 1 bad money ample for all necessities, but it took wings, and went to feed tlie eoffeis of the devils which possesed me. I had a home, adorned with all that wealth and the most exquisite taste could buy. The devil crossed the threshold, and the light faded from its chambers; the fire went out on the holiest of altars, and leading me from the portals, despair walked forth with me, and sorrow and anguish lingered within. I had children —beautiful to me at least as a dream of the morn ing—and they had so entwined themselves around their father s heart [I that no matter where it might wan der, ever it came back to them on the wings of a father’s undying love. Ihe destroyer took his hand in his and led them away. I had a wife whose I charms of mind and person were such that to see her was to remember, and to know her was to love her. [ Thirteen years we walked the ragged I path of life together, rejoicing in its I sunshine and sorrowing in its shade. ■ The infernal monster would not even 1 spare me this. “I had a mother who for long years had not left her chair, a victim of suffering and disease, her choicest delight was reflectii g that the lessons taught at her knee bad taken root in y the heart of her youngest born, and that he was useful to his fellows, and an honor to her who bore him. But the thunder-bolt ever reached there and did its most cruel work. Other days may cure all but this. Ab, me ! never a reproach from these lips; only , a shadow of unspoken grief gathering on her dear old face; only a tender hand laid more lovingly upon my. head; only a closer clinging to the 1 cross, only a piteous appeal to heaven if her cup was not nt last full. And ; while her boy raged in bis wild delirium two thousand miles away, the pitying angels pushed the golden gates ajar, and the mother of the ■ drunkard entered into rest And thus ' I stand, a clergyman without a church, j a barrister without a brief or busi ness, a father without a child, a hus band without n wife, a son without a I parent, a man without hope—all i swallowed up in a maelstorm of drink." Why Editors Don't Many Abbeville Messenger: The mar- j riage fever is going all over the State, but we haven't noticed that a single editor has as yet fallen a victim. . Why is this? Won't Brother Mc- Sweeney, of the Hampton Guardian. J give us his solution of it. Non-paying subscribers, we, answer. | are responsible for the number of cold toed bachelors in the editorial | fraternity. Subscribers who never j pay, subscribers who get mad and | won’t pay because they are dunned; I subscribers who contend tnat they ■ have paid for a year more than we ■ have them credited with on the books, subscribers who say they think they paid Mr. So and So. or sent the money in by Mr. Tom, Dick, or Harry, when they’ did nothing of ; the kind and only want to shirk the debt but we are tired. They are responsible for editorial celibacy. That's the solution, friend Bonham. —Hampton Guardian. Home Council We take pleasure in calling your | attent on to a remedy so long needed in carrying children safely through the critical stage of teething. It is an | incalculable blessing to mother and child. If you are disturbed at night with a sick, fretful, teething child, use Pitts’ Carminative, it will give instant relief, and regulate the Dowels, and make teething safe and easy. It will cure Dysentery and Dinrrhma. Pitts’ Carminative is an instant relief for colic of infants. It will promote di gestion, give tone and energy to the stomach and bowels. Che sick, puny, suffering child will soon become the fat and frolicing joy of the household. It is very pleasant to the taste and only costs 25 cents er bottle. Sold bv druggists.
