Purity: A Fact.
Oh, the rarity of food purity

purity is fact, as attested by all
chemists who have analysed it.
Owing to its purity it goes further
at 81 per pound than two pounds
of other so-called cocoas. 1t is
made of the ripest and choicest Co
Goa beans only. A horseback ride

bills have been under consideration is
the Australian voting system. 1t has
already been adopted in ten states Of

others. The chief feature of this sys-

maintain with regard to candidates
who are his choice. ~
In the Australian method tickets are
all printed by the state or governments
The names of all the candidates for
each Office are printed upon the ballots
In alphabetical order. The voter takes
the ballot, retires alone to place pro.

names of the candidates he chooses.
Then he deposits the ticket, and
whom he votes for Is known only to
himself, and his own conscience.

Good Work OF the County Commits.
d.. siOners.

The County Commissioners have done some
GOOD work In the Court House.
The Court room and jury rooms have been
nicely cleaned and whitewashed or painted
The Clerk office has been greatly improV-
ed in the newly constructed shelves for the
safe-keeping Of the books Of record.
The Auditors Office has already had some
nice boxes put up, in which to keep othclal
papers, and we learn that other needed I'M
proyements are soon to be made In that office
The County Commissioners seem to be LOOK
ing to the public interest In having the dll-
ferent officers properly equipped for the ac-
commodation Of the people.
During Court neat carpet was put upon
the aisles of the Court room, which was pur
chased at nominal figures.
II we may be excused for mentioning
small matter, but one which has been source
of great annoyance to the people ever since
the Court House was built, 1t Is the iron rods
that run back from the railing. and over
which Jurors, witnesses or other persons new
err or seldom, fail to stumble in moving from
the front seat. The people will be glad to
know that the County Commissioners, as
soon as the matter was called to their atten-
ton, expressed O Willingness to made the
needed change, and we presume that 1t Will
ue made before next Court. The cost would
be mere trife, when compared to the pre-
sent awkward arrangement.
All the officers in the Court House are either
arranged, or to be arranged for the best &C.
commodation of the people, and each and
every officer In the Court House seems to be
giving perfect satisfaction in the discharge OF
their respective public duties. At no time in
the past have we had more efficient, more
faithful, or more acceptable officers than at
present.
