During the month of January, 1894, Brother Mitchell left the service of the railroad und accepted u position as patrolman In the Atlanta police de partment.

It waa the eonaenaua of opinion at tho meeting of the board of health Fri day afternoon that white labor should be used In the city sanitary depart ment In exclusion of colored labor, which Is now belntf worked. It Is probable that this change will be made nt the first of next year. This decision was reached after continuation of trouble in the sanitary department whore 240 negroes are worked. For the past six months the difficulty In holding the men to their jobs has been especially trying on the heads of the department and It has been often the case that there were not enough laborers to man the (0 wag ons used In cleaning the streets and collecting the refuse. The only difficulty In making the change at the present time Is the fact that the white laborers will have to be paid 11.50 whereas the negroes are be ing paid only $1.16. To take care of this difference a special appropriation would have to be made. It Is Impos sible at the present state of the city treasury. Dr. Benson, president of the board of health, said that the scum of the earth was being worked In the department and that he was sure <\r a small In crease w hite labor could be secured. The secretary of the board was In structed to make his. estimate for the coming year on the white Inbor basis. Chief John Jenlzcn said Saturday; "The increase In wages will be more than made up for In the work done and the steadiness of the labor. The change will be a good one."

AN ATLANTA SUB SCRIPTION AGENCY. The season has arrived when the subscription agencies will flood the country with thetr cut-rate magailne combinations. The average cltlaen hasn't time tn study these out. If he did he does not care to buy three or four magazines that he does not want In order to get a reduced price on one that he does want. These combina tions seldom suit anybody. Besides, some agencies get money, turn It In to the magazines nnd then wash their hands of all further responsibility. If your magazines does not come It makes no difference to the average agency. The Co-operative Book Company, of 97 1-2 Peachtree street, an Incorporated Institution, backed by some of the best business men In Atlanta, has been re cently organized for the purpose of operating a subscription agency and a mall order book business that will be reliable, and as cheap as the cheapest. They guarantee to give you the best cut rates possible on magazines, and to save you money on any book pub lished. They allow you to make your own list, and when they have received your money they guarantee delivery of your magaslnes. Mr. E. C. Merry, a former educator, and Professor J. L. Caldwell, well known In educational circles in several states, are In active control of the business. Atlanta peoplo can turn their subscriptions over to them with confldence and thus not only save money, but save the trouble of Bending off their remittances to other agencies and publishers, from whom they may never .hear again If delinquencies are to be righted.
