An Odd Family,

There is peculiar family of people
living few miles from Adairsville. 1t
consists of three members, but they
have everything to themselves. Each
has a cow which is MIXED by its
owner. The husband has his own
milk in pans, the wife the same, and
the son takes care of his own. They
have separate gardens, sell everything
individually, enjoy their own tobacco,
and can be seen hauling their own
wood to burn. --Saranndh Nelrs.

The Presidents OF the great coal

the price of coal 25 cents per ton on
all grades. An advance of 25 cents
per ton only on 33,5OO,OOO tons

The amount OF war literature
spread before the public at present is
simply bewildering. 1t is very likely
that the risinggeneration of book and
magazine readers will know more
about the historic struggle than did
the people who had reached adult
years when it was in progress, or, for
that matter, than the soldiers them
selves. The battle of Shiloh, for in

diligent student than it could have

THE FISHERIES DISPUTE.
A New Treaty Outlined-A Document
Sanctioned by Minister Phelps.


OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 23.-It turns out
that the visit of Sir Charles Upper,
Canadian high commissioner in London,
to this country at present is for the pur-
pose of settling questions on which Can
ada disagrees with England as to the
terms of the new commercial treaty which
Is being prepared by the United States
and the English government Ii is stated
on good authority by one in position to
know, that three or four months ago rep
resentatives of her majesty's government
and United States Minister Phelps enter
Ell into personal communication, looking
| toward the preparation of IA new treaty,
which should have for its object the bet
ter relations of Canada and the American
republic. Since then until month ago
the WORK mas been going on and the docu-
ment was satisfactorily drawn up. Be
fore submitting it to Washington, the
English government decided to submit it
to the Canadian authorities for eXamlna-
ton and such suggestions as they thought
proper TO make rs to the conditions which
were solicited.
Three weeks ago u copy of the document
was received here from the colonial secre
tary and was Immediately followed by Sir
Charles RIPPER, who said that he came to
see about "A permanent exposition. The
real OBJECT OF his visit was to explain to
SIR John the position of England as to GER
tam conditions of the treaty, viz: The
fishery question and reciprocal trade
relations, as there are certain classes of
goods on which 1t would be to the advan-
tage OF Canada to have the duty increased
or decreased, or which would injure Eng
llSh interests at home
1t Is said the fishery dispute is to be set
tied by rejecting the headland theory and
giving to American fishermen the free
and unrestricted use OF the Canadian
water, for which great reduction is made
in duty on fish. The changes from the
present treaty are many and important.
The principle of reciprocity has been care
fully considered in framing the treaty,
and it is thought it will prove eminently
satisfactory to the people of Canada and
the United States
1t can positively be stated that such
treaty as the above has been outlined and
Will be presented to the next session of the
next Congress for ratification.
