The Doctor boasts that he is the kind of man that no wo man can resist. A trained circus dog was run{ over near Florence, Ala , and left for dead by the showmen, but was saved and cured by a farmer. Every day, at a regular hour, the dog goes through all the tricks to which it was trained, but is pining to gat back with the show. luvestigations at Fert Reno lead the army officers to believe that a conepiracy to murder every white officer in the fort was formed amoug the negro troops recently discharged by order of the Presi dent.

After the delicous luncheon.‘ the; young ladies pulled streamers of ribbon, thereby opening an umbrella and a shower of handkerchiefs "covered Miss Bacon. The occasion was delight fully pleasant to all, and was another evidence of the popularity of Miss Ba con who is to wed by Mr. J. J. Daniell he fifth of next month, ELECTRIC COOKING. Eds Journal—Prcspective customers no doubt hesitate to close a contract for electric heating and cooking devi ces because the exact cost of current for various utensils is sometimes not clearly stated. Helptul statements of the local dollar and cente of operating electric heating and cooking appliances are given below: ¢ An electric tea-kettle costs to operate “ for 15 minutes two cents. The electric heating pad, which takes the place of the old style hotwater bottle, uaes} about one cent’ts worth of current for one hour’s srvice. An eleetric chaf ing dish costs approximately 214 cents to operate for 15 minutes, considerably less than for aleohol, and all the bother and danger Jelimnated. Electrie curl ing irons can be used for 15 minutes for three-tenths of one per cent. To heat water at a moments notice day or night, by means of the electri¢ hot-wa ter heater, requires for 15 minutes use one and quarter cents. A four-hole electric waflle-iron for 15 minutes use, 2!g cents. With two electric stoves a ‘breakfast consisting of fruit, creamed wheat, flakes, boiled eggs. creamed po ' tatoes, toast and French coffee may be used for the cooking of chops, oysters, fowl, toasting bread, for baking pota toes, ete. Hvy Avrpert, Supt. ; ROAD BONDS. EpiTors JourNAL:—ln this issue is found a call for an election for road bonds. This isdone in accordance with a recommendation of the grand jury at the first week of the November term of court, In lieu of this, the second week's grand jury recommended that the commutation tax be raised from $2.50 te $l.OO, and the property tax be in creased to a limit not exceeding 20c, for road purposes. These are the two plans proposed by the grand juries, and I have called the election in order that the people may decide for themselves which plan they want, I wish to say in this communiecation that if the bond issue prevails, I think we ghould have county commissioners to handle the funds, and I have no doubt the coming session of the legis lature will provide for the people to elect commisgioners, as four successive grand juries have recommended it. In next week’s Journal I shall en deavor to give some facts and figures in connectior with the proposed bond issue, that prove may of interest to your readers just at this time, Respectfully, Jonx Awrriy.

A good literary society develops the mind, strengthens the memory, promotes congenialty, brightens a none too attractive country hife, and pro motes progress generally. Anything that will check the ten fdencv of the people of flocking to the already over-crowded cities, is a help to the individual, the community, and the nation at large, in an intellectnal, moral and material way. This is the intent and purposes of Mt, Zion Liter ary Society, which meets twice each month, at 7:30 o’clock, on Saturday evenings before the first and third Sun days. Remember the time, and don’t let a month with five Sundays mix you up, but keep your eye on the Ist and 3rd Sundays. And let us all work to gether in co-operavion and union, and push the work to sueccessful consum mation. Yours for the work, J. W. UxpERWOOD, Pres. Mt. Zion Literary Society. You ought to be glad that you are not able tc own an automobile, According to a writer in one of the magazines, the cost of his ma chine in repairs and maintenance for seven months, during which he traveled 10,000 miles, was $397.50, or an average of $56.85 a month. But maintenance and re pairs did not represent ail the ex pense. He estimates the other expense on his $l,BOO machive as follows: $5O for a year’s liabilify insurance, $825 for depreciation in the value of the car, and $45.50i interest at 6 per cent. on the st cost, making, with the cost ofl maintenance, a total of $317.50. That seems to be ‘a rather largs bill of costs, and may exceed that of the average automobile. Be rides, there is the compensation account to be brought into the balance. For instance, if he had paid 3 cents a mile on a railroad to ride the 10,000 miles, the cost would have been $3OO. e ok (VRY TARLE J. H. HICKS & SON, Proprietors.
