Not only have the Iron Mill owners

several heavy failures, notably that of

We learn that the Democrats of his
district are proposing him as a man
suitable for the position of State Sena-

writer, a man of large experience and
practical views, and would reflect credit

JUDGE &. J. LAwToN furnishes our

from the musty records of the early
half Of this century. The Judge has
been a hOuSs-keeper in this town longer
than any citizen of the town except
Mr.. IA. ID. Taylor, and during his hong
Residence here he has been "A prominent
public man. He has been AN officer of
the Circuit Court here almost continu-
ouSly since 1885 up till quite recently.
He was first sheriff, then special COM
missioner, examiner and master COM
missioner. He was police judge of Hart
ford II years in succession, postmaster
of Hartford 1 years, and all these posi-
tionS were well filled hy him. When
hc was sheriff of the Circuit Court they
had three terms a wear and fortNappcar-
anccs WAS then thought Ia hc a large
docket. The terms of court then only
lasted from three to four days hardly
ever as long a. five days. The contrast
of that time with the present shows Il
wonderful increase in population and

JUDGING from the statistical summa-
ries contained in the annual report of
the Commissioner of Federal Taxes,
the amount spent in the Uuited States
on smoking and drinking is enormous.
During the fiscal year ending June 80,
ls7s, Notwithstanding the hard times,
,905, ,06S, 600 cigars consumed. The re-
port estimates each cigar at, on an aver
age, ten cents; so that the total value Of
the cigars consumed in the year would
be about Sl90, 300. In addition,
there were also consumed 25,3l2, 433
pounds of tobacco for smoking, the val
ue of which is estimated at Sl5,000,O00.
But the expenditure on tobacco is al
most insignificant when compared with
the sums spent on drinks of various
kinds. Thus, 81, 49,, 900 gallons Of fer
mented liquors were consumed, or over
seven gallons per head of the entire
population estimated at about 44,0OO,
600, including women and children.
Fermented and spirituous drinks cost
the people Of the United States, accord
ing to the estimate of the report, $780,
100000, or Sl3,25 per head. The figures
of the report show further, that during
the last fiscal year the consumption of
beer had increased, while that of spirit
nous liquors has declined, ,j00,0m gal
Ions more of the former. and 6,530,0W
gallons less of the latter having been
consumed than during the preceding
year, fact which, perhaps, ought to
be- considered an advance on the road to
1 temperance.

A NUMBER of our fellow citizens
Of African and European descent,
affected painfully and distresssingly
by the prevailing whiskey and beer
drought, commissioned General CT
der to 90 to Donleytown, that haven
of all dry souls, ard buy for them a
large lot of tar water. Some poor
fellows would send for pint, while
others, more wealthy, would send for
a gallon or SO. On his way back the
General found his load very heavy,
and he did his best to Tighten his
burden by frequent stoppages at con
venient watering places. Too much
water confused the Generals ideas a
little, and he handed to the parties
who sent for one pint, two, three or a
gallon, while those who sent for large
quantities had to be satisfied with
only pint. AS may be surmised
this created row, which was finally
compromised, with the understand
ing that they should meet at certain
stable to settle all difficulties. After
considerable fuss the General came
off victorious, by accompanying his
arguments by powerful black grip
around discontinued gents wind
