Taking the leadership of the company when is. had almost disbanded through luke¬ warmness of i*s officers, he has, with the co operation of his brother offi eers, brought it up to its present high standard—the company being now the equal if not the superior, of any company (excepting those oi the larger cities) in the state.

The population of the* State as returned in 1880 was 1,542 180, while in 1890 a population of 1,837,353 is returned, an in¬ crease of 295,173, oi* 19.14 per cent. Of the one hundred and ebirty-seven counties in the State, only nineteen show de¬ creases, most of which are ve¬ ry slight. The following comi¬ ties show increases of more than 100 per cent: Coffee, Dodge, Glynn, Irwin, Ware and Wil¬ cox. Science comes to the front in the manufacture of grindstones The best now made are com¬ posed of a mixture of pulveri¬ sed quartz, powdered flint, pow pered emery and rubber. They out w.ear by many years any natural stone. A good autharity states thot fully 20 per oent. of the coffee consumed in the United States is “bogus.” The same authority says that for this counterfeit coffee the {[people atm ally pay ,$13,000,006. The .product is mixed with a sufficient quantity of the genuine article to deceive the con sumer. It is not right that the pub lie endure such imposition, Enter prise ®n this direction is to be con dunned. If the manufacture of cof* fee beans ia legitimate Tt should be condemned. If the manufacture of coffee beans is legitimate it should lx? sold under a brand, which will give the op)tion in its use. It cannot he called artificial cofiee for it partakes of the nature of the true coffee bean only the resemblance, and has nothing in common with the. genuine berry until by contact it steals a portion of the coffee flavor. Many sections of ilia South are largo consumers of this spurious article, and it is to the inter¬ est of the people to see that they what they pay for, or else pay the value of the article abtafned. This is the time of year when the majority of people are thinking hard how to make a limited purse gratify the promptings of a generous heart. Christmas is au annual puz zler.

He sat shivering on a bench in the park at II oclock last night and when a policeman came along he spoke to him. “What is it?” asked the offi cer. “Are you the policeman on this beat?” I “I ain’t on any other, am I?” “I don’t know,” shivered the man, “but will you do me a fa¬ vor?” “What is it?” “Run me in.” “What for?” “For the night,” and he smil¬ ed a wan, weary smile. “Are you a criminal?” “No, not quite; but I’ve com¬ mitted an offense.” “What is it?” “It isn’t an offense against the law, but against society.” “Well, what is it? Out with it,” and the officer took him by the arm. “Don’t shake me,” he pleaded. My offense is poverty. I’m so poor I can’t buy a night’s lodg iug.” The officer ran him in but did it very kindly.
