Sentinel Sl.oo Health is gcod as there is nothing special of a local nature, we will take a little political talk. Wages have been gradually sinking for the past fifteen years in the United gluten, and what are the results? The crimes whioh follow in the woke of poverty, or fear of poverty, arc alarming. Criino is a disease, not of the individual as many writers claim, but of society, and tlieso outbreaks are symptoms which show a prevailing danger. A majority of the people must always toil and when they act froi the desire tq possess a home and to make that homo happv, they are saij from the contaminating allurarti6nflf vice. As long as they see these being realized the evidence of public prosperity and individual happiness is witnessed on every hand, then "'o see social purity, enterprise, happirass, private virtue, morality and pattSitism.

But when men work under tha lash of necessity, with no means but musole and industry and see only health warding off the humiliating miseries of poverty which stands not three ihiys from the door, what must be the results A olond hangs over every name of the poor who are always in th majority. Poverty breeds ignorance, and the fear of poverty is the mother of the most lamentable vices iihd shocking crimes so frightfully prevalent to-day. Suicide, infanticide, insanity, intemperance and prostitution are the symptoms by which tho health of so'ioty may be judgod. Peter Nux. TiATJO.

New South Church It is with pleasure we call our read ers attention to the tine large build ing which is being eroctedhy the mem bers of the M. E.

South society, on the site of the old church which was damaged by lightning last sumnor. It will be the largest place of worship in town and perhaps the finest building. The main building will be 34x56, The entrance will be from the west through a room 11x11 which will form the base to a steeple eighty feet in heighL The side walls will be twenty feet and the ceiling will have an arch of five feet, making it twenty-five feet in the center. The room will be lighted by large arched windows twelve feet high, which we presume will be filled with staiued glass. The interior will be finished with ceiling and will make a largo and commodious room, one which the sooiety and citizens may well feel proud, W.

C. Bounds is the builder and will push the work as fast as possible, but our informant could not tell us when the house would be ready for worship. Dentist Turner arrived to-day on a profesional visit. He was accompanied by James Parrot. For Thade.
