College has received, through Col. W. P. Price, two most interesting and valuable volumes, containing an account, written from short hand notes, of the trial of Aaron Burr. These volumes were published tit and are was the law Philadelphia in 180S bound in half leather. The following inscription written in the first volume by generous donor: “Presented to the N. G. A. College By Martha M. Price, Nov., 1003. These volumes were in the ; library of the father of the donor I for more than fifty years, and arc I now rare books, out of print, j The reference to the jurists and j statesmen of the latter part of the i tSth century, and founders of the j LI. S. government, are ycry valus | able and interesting.” | On the fly - leaves of these hooks j \ are written the names, “Wm. Mar > tin” and “Bev. A. Martin.” Gifts like this are of priceless ; yaluc to the young men of these years, bringing them in touch with i the former times, when great ! things were done: “for in those 1 days there were giants in the | earth.” 1 The college wishes to make this j I public expression of appreciation ' for so valuable a gift. 5»°34 According to the annual report of the adjutant general of the ar my, which was made public last week, the present strength of the land forces of the United States is 3,081 officers and 55,500 enlisted men, in addition to 8,257 members of the hospital corps, the Phillip- phie scouts and the Porto Rican regiment. Of these 10,310 are now in the Philippines and 13,088 in continental Alaska. The Legn- j lion guard at Pekin consists of four officers and 152 enlisted men. During the year 1 lie number killed m action and who died of wounds or disease was 25 officers and 837 enlisted men. Perhaps flic most startling figures presented were those relat> ing to desertion. They show that 5,034 enlisted men deserted, or nearly 10 per cent of the entire j strength of the army. Those dis- | charged for disibilily and by sen j fence of court martial and by order aggregated 971. The total enlist ments and re enlistments during the year wore 18,291.

SO* - - -*^--'«gtPgg*»a»r J wr*r T.*w — We learn from parties return- j ing from Gainesville, that one of i the Cinciola brothers of that city j had a trick played off on him that I beats the gold brick swindle. A j few nights ago a stranger stepped | into his place of business and after ’ purchasing something pretended : that he had lost his glass eye. The j man was sure enough minus an eye and they both looked about in the room for it quite awhile. At ; last the stranger told Cinciola that ! he would give $75 for the eye and if any one found it to send ihem down to the hotel, and stepped ■ out. Soon afterwards auothor ■ fellow appeared, apparently dru nk j bought something and reached { down and pretended that he found | a glass eye. After looking at it j he put it in his pocket. Cinciola | told him that he would give him j $45 for the glass eye, feeling con- : fident that he could soon make $30 if lie had it. The drunken fel low told him all right, for he had no use for it, The incney was paid, the man soon left, and Cinci ola carried the eye down to the ho tel to turn it over to the owner, but to his surprise found that no such a person had been there, and he was out just $30. “Why didn’t you jurors raise ( the taxes of those who failed to | return their property at its true j value?” was asked us the other j day. Simply because too many j jurors are helping to “cat the beef,” and asssossurs will have to be appointed before any headway is made in this direction. They say “it is a serious thing to raise a I man’s taxes.” So it is very se- I rious for a man to make false re- j turns under oath, and it would be a i good idea' to check some of them I now so as to save them from run- ! ning any risk of being caught »* • f < i T .:i 'I’ll : niir i uiiyu uy Ldu uuVh. iuii5 to uui I view of it. The Dalton Citizen is Nuggist, it frankly opposes foreign missions and takes the ground that all efforts should he concentrated on the heathens at homo whose lives arc foreign to j the teachings and influences of l Christianity. It says: “Talk about foreign missions! It makes us weary. We need missionary work right here in Dalton—the place where, within the past few years, four murders have occur red, and the punishment prescrib ed by law not meted out, and kids scarcely out of their swaddling clothes smoking cigarettes and blowing their brain" away in smoke, and minors buying and drinking whiskey at will—surely, surely home mission work is needs ed.” PRICES REASONABLE. Boom the Town Too. CITY DIRECTORY The government distributes 1,000 tons of. seed annually. Each congressman has 12,500 packages at his disposal. If you haven’t got one, it’s because your congress man has sent your pro rata to some one else. However, these seed are regarded as better vote raisers than vegetable producers. People who raise vegetables buy reliable seed. — Cobb County Cou rier. In one year the shipment of American apples to Europe lias tripled. Since September last tho exports have been 1,008,000 bar rels to Liverpool, 274,000 to Lon don, 97,000 to Hamburg and 5S,-. 000 to other European ports. American apple growers have conquered a big foreign market and are holding it against any thing but prohibitory laws. A hospital to cost seventy-five thousand dollars is to be erected in Chicago, the physicians of which must use no alcohol in their pre scriptions. The hospital will bo called the Frances E. Willard National Temperance Hospital. The three schools of practice— regular, homeopathic and eclectic will bo presented on the staff. Wo have forgotten her name, but the society woman in Washington who has invited Booker Washing, ton to stop with her when he visits that city, should be sentenced to Zulu land for the balance of her natural life.

While liquid rub it I over the leather, including the I soles. While every mo’chant is ju i marily interested in making his own business a success, ho should not lose sight of the fact that any thing which benefits the com munity benefits him. If a mer chants’ association succeeds in at tracting more trade to the town it is so much gained for all of the merchants there. Each store stands to benefit. Merchants should co operato with the local newspaper to attract more Imsi-- ness to the town. Properly supported, the editor and his paper can assist greatly in attracting trade. The editor should push the circulation of his paper into the districts for the trade of which his town is com ped ing with others. Every town in some quarter comes in compe tition with other towns for a cer tain amount of every desirable trade. The town which has the newspaper with the widest circu lation in that district is the best armed for that contest.—Hard ware Trade. The Liberty Bell. The decision recently announced that the Liberty bell is not to be taken on any more junketing trips is said to bo due largely to the in*, Huonce of the women of Philadol phia. They protested vigorously against sending it about over -the country as a course inconsistent with its historic dignity. The pro test was most just. • The Liberty bell belongs in Philadelphia, where it pealed forth its historic an nouncement. It has about as much meaning anywhere else as a chip off the Bunker Hill monument in a private cabinet. New York Tribune. An Editors Predicament. An editor near Ouster, I. T., got a cattle show and concert mix ed up, and now he has to keep dark. This is the way he did it: “The concert given by Roberson’s most beautiful young ladies was highly appreciated. They sang in their charming, winning the pluadits of the entire audience, who pronounced them the finest herd iff' shorthorns in the country. A few are of a rich brown color, but the majority are spotted brown and white.” Send Us Yom* ji W SUPERIOR COURT. 3rd Mondays in April and Octo ber. J. J. Kimsey, Judge, Cleve land, Ga. W.A.
