places. It was in 1KT7 Mint their coin
age wns discontinued by net of con-
gress, and late archives In tin* treasury
department show that at the end of the
last fiscal year there were of them out
standing over $1,000,000.
Further coinage of the half cent coins
ended at the same time. 'Hie total
amount of these coined altogether
was ntsmt $40,000,000, speaking In
round numbers. The two cent pieces
were of tironr.e metal. Their enforced
retirement from commercial activity
began In 1873, since which date the
taints have not been tiusy with their
manufacture. The little silver three
cent pieces trouble the marts no lon
ger, though some of them may tie hid
den away somewhere to servo as rel
ics. Their coinage began in 18.'7 and
continued until February, 1870. The
smiling little silver half dime, the coin
age of which begun over a century ago,
received Its iplletus, so far as its man
ufacture was concerned, at the same
date as the three cent silver piece.
tulicr of these minor colas tlmt have
Imd their day arc la honorable retire
ment In the hoards of collectors, ill
museums and elsewhere. Among these
are the nickel three cent pieces and the
little old gray faced nickel cents,
though It Is easy to ran across one of
these little coins occasionally. Their
making ut the mints lasted from 1837
to 1804. Then there used to ho u sti

Many of course can remember the
days of the Infants of coinage, the one
dollar piece that was in the lialilt of
losing Itself, so little It was, In Mie
vest pocket or In any other part of
one's apparel where It was allowed to
lie around loose. There wore about
llUHio.onu of the halites coined. Where
are they roaming now? Then there
was at one time a three dollar gold
coin. Its manufacture was discontin
ued by an act of congress passed on
Sept, 'id, 1K8II, the same date tlmt
marked the beginning of the end of
the gold dollar. In nil there were over
a million and 11 half dollars of these
coined. Washington Smr.

From what 1 hear from a person ccr-
| talnl.v likely to know what happens at
the Russian court 1 believe that nil the
stories of the cur's depression nnd de-
! spulr ure false. On the contrary, he
i follows his usual avocations, nnd noth
ing that lias transpired seems to have
hail any effect on ids spirits. This only
confirms the view that never was a
ninn more unfitted to be the aufocrat
of an empire. It recalls the tale of

Dutch fleet was blockading tho mouth

A charter was granted yesterday by
Secretary of Stato Phil Cook, to tho Co
lumbus Northern Railway Company, a
new lino that iis projected to be built
from Columbus through the counties of
Muscogee, Harris, Meriwether and
Tioup, either to West Point or La
Grange, in the latter county, a distance
of about (10 miles.
The capital stock of the company is
put at $100,000 nnd the incorporators
are Charles L. DaviR, of Meriwether: O.
C. Bullock, T. W. Bates, Arthur Bus
sey, L. F. Aumber, E. P. Owsley,
Rhodes Browne, T. K. Blanchard, S. B.
Hatcher and Ralph O. Howard, all of
Columbus.
It is said this new line will be built
to be operated in connection with the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic.
Some time ago an offer was made to
the Central of Georgia Railway Com-
l>any, it is stated, for its narrow guage
line from Columbus to Greoneville.
Whereupon, as the story goes, the Cen
tral found out what a valuable piece of
projierty it had and made plans auil
preparations to make a broad gunge roail
of it nud extend it on to Newnau, con
necting with the Central's main line to
Chattanooga and with the Atlanta and
West Point. ^
Failing to secure the line,the Atlanta,
Birmingham amt Atlantic, it is stated,
tins made arrangements to build a Hue
of its own from Columbus through this
same territory.
Another story tins it tlmt the Colum
bus Northern is to he operated as a
branch of the Seaboard Air Line upon
which Columbus is one of the main
points.—Wednesday's Constitution.

We are trying to conduct a model, modern grocery

I t is of the highest quality, composed of nice, clean,
fresh goods of standard brands and grades. You can
order anything from us with the certainty of getting

As to prices—they speak for themselves. The same
is true of service. Goods bought in our store are

matter of selecting grocers who can and will retain
your patronage. If you’re not our customer, give a
trial order. We are sure that we can please

Editorial Row About Kissing
The greatest surprise to a girl who
gets kissed the first time is that there is
no taste to it.—Waterloo (Ill.) Times.
No taste to it? Well, by the lieu
feathers on Cupid’s dart, but the Times
man must be color blind in his palate.
They tell ns, those who have tried it,
that it tastes like the double-distilled
essence of honey spread thick on a piece
of pumpkin pie. Away back in the dim
and joyful years long ago, before we
lost all our teeth ami our cinch on the
beauty prize, the prettiest girl in all the
world told us with tier own eyes that it
felt like a covey of quail flying out your
ears, and ended up with a sensation like
a flock of angels pouring molasses down
one's back. No taste to ttie first kiss?
Great Scott! It would make a wooden
Indian's hair dance and his toenails
quiver with ecstacy. The Times man
must be an ice house.—Peshtigo (Wis.)
