The southern states keep on passing pro hibition laws or in strengthening ' those already in existence. In oth er states county and other local op tion laws are also making themselves I felt.

But great as that • is the money value of the loss of I health, limb and life for which this carelessness and wastefulness are re sponsible is far greater. Our factories mines and railrods take yearly toll of life and limb that is appalling. That the railroads alone last year paid over fifty-six millions of dollars for personal injuries and damages will give one a faint idea at least of the havoc made. Some people seem to think that taking a hint is a very clever accom plishment. HINTON & COMPANY , . ..... .j Thursday and Friday of next week are the Fair Days.
