CANADA TO HAVE NEW COIN
Visiting Americans Will Be Glad That
Clumsy One-Cent Piece la to
Be Abolished.
New Englanders who visit Can
ada, as many of them do and as
more of them should, will be glad to
learn that the Dominion is about to
mint a new 1-cent piece which, the
'officials say, will be slightly larger
and somewhat thinner than the 10-
cent piece which Canada now has
and which is a twin of the United
States dime. This description indi
cates that the new cent will be of the
size of that common in this country.
This will relieve the Yankee vis
itors of the physical labor and men
tal anguish attendant upon filling
their pockets with the immense cents
which Canada has hitherto pro
duced, and which must have con
tributed much to the scarcity of cop
per now noticed in America. They
were much too large, .for with a
dozen of them on his person the
tourist felt overloaded; with a hun
dred he was admirably equipped for
suicide by drowning. Nothing more
exasperating in the way of coins of
little value could be thought of ex
cept the minute silver 5-cent piece
which Canada continues to issue.
To retire the mammoth cent is
certainly a step in the right direc
tion.—Hartford Courant.
FOUND ‘CONGESTION’ AT ETAH
Explorer's Amusing Story of Condi
tions He Discovered on the Shore
of North Greenland.
Etah, the most northern settle
ment in the world, consists of five
black-looking holes in a sloping hill
side, according to a report made by
Donald B. MacMillan, who returned
a few months ago from a four years’
expedition in the far North. A care
ful census reveals the amazing fact
that in some years even these holes
are not inhabited. Other years, how
ever, the streets are crowded with as
many as 15 people! MacMillan re
ports that on his arrival in Etah he
found a serious congestion—l 9 men,
women and children.
Etah or Foulke fiord, is situated
on the shores of north Greenland at
the narrowest part of Smith sound,
700 miles from the north pole. It
was first visited by white men upon
the arrival of the Kane expedition
in 1854. Ten or a dozen Eskimos
were encamped there then. It was
named Foulke fiord, after William
Parker Foulke of Philadelphia by
Dr. Isaac Israel Hayes, who win
tered in 1860-61 at a small bight in
the land just south of the entrance
called Port Foulke.
I want to farm in Douglas, Fay
ette, Campbell, Clayton or Henry
county. There must be at least
two hundred acres of open land
on the farm and flowing water.
The farm must be worth approxi
mately $15,000.00 and free from
encumbrance. 1 will exchange
for it an apartment house renting
for $350.00 per month and subject
to a loan of $200,000, which can
be paid off in monthly instalments
out the rent of the apartment.

Mr. M. A. Terry, which occurred
at his home in Stockbridge last

from which he suffered up until
a few days ago when he was tak

in his death Tuesday morning.
He leaves a companion, three sons
and three daughters, together
with a host of relatives and friends
to mourn his loss. His remains
were brought to Bethany, his old
home, for interment Thursday

funeral service, the remains were
laid to rest with Masonic and Odd
Fellows honors. We join their
many friends in extending our
sympathy to the family in this sad
hour of bereavement.
