Many who arc hunting soft jobs under the

a small railroad town, turns his eyes lougingiy to
the railroad mail service. During the last year

office for assistance to got such appointments is

Thi3, however, is not u new process, as it has
boon practiced for a century. According to
dental history it was quite common for the royal
ty of England to purchase teeth from theii
healthy subjects and have them transplanted in
to their own mouths. The medical journals o
the present day' frequently report instances of
•the kind and some arc much more wonderful
than the artificial socket referred to in Jlie
paragraph quoted above.
Perhaps there is no profession that has made
more progress within the last few years than that
of dentistry. An Enquirer-Sun representative
learned this when he called in at one of our
dental offices yesterday and asked the question:
“Doctor, is there anything new in dentistry?”
“Well, thut depends on how well posted you
are. There are so many things going on in our
profession that what I call old might be entirely
new to you and a great many of your readers.
Within the last fifteen years there has been rapid
strides in materials, instruments and office ar
rangements. It lias only been a few years since
•the dentist went from house to house with a plain
head rest made of wood, something like the back
of a barber’s chair, with little iron brackets, which
was attached to the back of a plain split-bottom
chair. The dentist, with a half broken back,
would dig out the decay and with ill-assorted in
struments fill teeth and do other dental work
that was needed. Now with improved chairs
and dental engines, which are run by electric
and water motors, with their many attachments,
which are only to be seen to bo appreciated, the
work of filling teeth for good patients often
becomes a pleasure to us and very uiiie iuej.:-
venience or trouble to the patient.”
“Speaking of methods, wh.it do you mean by
methods, doctor ?”
“In tilling teeth the fir3t thing to be taken into
consideration is the cavity and qpndition of the
tooth and the material we will use. These con
ditions often make us change our methods in
treating the tooth. The different materials we
may use are numerous, but the main objects to
consider is the computability of the material
with the tooth structure; the mechanical part of
the operation is the last thing tc consider.”
“You fill them with gold?”
“Yes, although teeth are filled v ith different
kinds of cements, and they uie often used to a
great advantage, frequently better than gold; for,
as I said before, there are limes when we must
consider what is best for the patient in many re
spects, before we conclude what material to use;
but when wo find good tooth structure, and the
cost is no consideration, we will, as a general
thing, use gold.”
“How about the methods of filling with gold ?”
“The first method ofintroducing t he gold into
the cavity, that we practiced, was packing it by
hand pressure with smooth-pointed instruments,
burnishing and polishing with flat-lieaded steel
instruments. This method was practiced until
just about the commencement of the war or a
little belore. About that time Dr. \V. H. Atkin
son, who was then living in Ohio, introduced a
new method which was called mallettiiig, driving
and packing the gold into the cavity with a
small leaden mallet, weighing from three to teu
ounces. This method embraces the various
different methods of walietting in the goid—
the automatic, and there are many kinds of
them; then the electric and the mechanical mal-
lett made by Dr. Bonnill. All of these instru
ments I have used, and you see I have them here
trying to get all the good out of them I can, for
the benefit of my patients. But many of these
instruments are not of much use to every dentist.
There are some who are skilled in the use of
one and like it—while others, vice versa. In the
hands of some these various instruments are
used to a great advantage, and dentists using
them become quite distinguished. Still, all these
various improvements are embraced in
what we call the second or mallet-
ing method. The honor of discover

At the enl of the first month of probation the

probations, for new post offices arc certainly be- j session of that body
ing located all over the country and new routes ! of November next,
mapped out; and when it is borne in mind that
some states, as New York, have over 4000 post
offices, this state has 1508, and that these names
must be kept in mind when the packages or let
ters are thrown; that the work is done with a
rush, frequently at night, in a dusty car, rolling
and pitching, with two or three lamps in sum
mer time to intensify the heat, and with cold
draughts rushing in in winter, the soilness of the
job can be reckoned at-0.
Suppose a clerk is on the east run from here,
taking in the Southwestern rond. Macon is a
distributing point for counties back of it and
Fort Valley is another distributing point for all
southwest Georgia and parts of Florida. So that
between here and there three packages have to
be made up—oue for Fort Valley and Macon dis
tribution each and one for Macon, beside a
separate pouch for every post office on the run.
While at work a clerk labors for about sixteen
hours a day on an average, and it is not strange
that they break down and require an absolute
rest. But sometimes it happens that when a
clerk reaches his relief station, where he is sup
posed to rest before the return trip, the clerk
who should take his place fails for one cause or
another to materialize and so the poor fellow has
to hold on and labor hours and hours of over
time.
In some of the larger cities in the postoffico
building there are dormitories where the tired
clerks, who happen to reside a great way from
the office, can, if they wish, immediately retire
to rest after coming in off their run; or if they
leave on an early train they can be called by the
night watchman.
A railway postal clerk is required to know
thoroughly the railway and stage routes, the
times of trains at junctions through the states for
which he makes close connection. Every clerk is
furnished monthly with a schedule of mail
trains, and he must not only make a close
study of it, and be familiar with the time in his
own division, but also with the times of trains in
other divisions, with which and by which he for
wards mail. He must do all this and still
hustle round, keep prepared for the periodical ex
aminations which lie undergoes, find time to

quest of the county, assign as a reason for this

the closing of barrooms.
Be it, therefore, resolved by the citizens of
Browneville, in mass meeting assembled:
1. That we favor the total prohibition of the
liquor traffic.
2. That we petition the legislature of Alabama
to enact such laws as will most effectually pro

I Wavickly, Ala., October 2U. Our quiet little |
I village and surrounding country was startled this j
I morning by the announcement of the death ot j
our most appreciated young friend, Mr. Eddie I
I Waldrop, aged about 21. lie was deco ed from |
| home by two young negroes twho had made up I
I between them to kill and rob him as they knew j
I ho carried hia money on his person.) They pie- •
1 tended that they wanted to purchase n cow. |
I When about half a mile from home the negroes j
; both sprang upon him and with a razor cut his j
throat from one side to the other. His hand was |
j badly cut. It seems that he was trying to defend j
; himself. Hu was badly crippled, und proved an
| easy victim for his murderers. This deed was .
j done about noon o.« Thursday and he layout
! until Friday about 7 a. m. The community is
j aroused, and are in pursuit of the murderers,
i They are stiff at large. They are Cousins, and !
1 are of a copper color. Their names are George !
and John Hart.
