Among curious optical illusions are those
Of ocular estimation. These illusions depend
rather on the particular properties of the
figures we examine; the differences clearly
perceived appear greater than the differences
equal to them, but perceived with greater
difficulty Thus a line when divided appears
greater than when not divided; the direct
perception Of the parts makes US notice the

From coopertown.
To the Tobacco Leaf-Cnronicle.l

We have had rain sufficient for
all needed purposes. Tobacco Is
bouncing and will, everything favor
ing from now on, make US one of the
finest crops for years though the
acreage is small. Corn win we
think, make yet fair crop Failow-
ing for wheat will now begin in good
earnest with some farmers.
We wish in modest way to speak
tire praises of and congratulate
Joe Washington our M. G. for the
very noble fight he made May 10Th
last for the farmers as against the to-
bacco tax for its entire repeal, and we
are willing to say that he being Con-
gresham, law maker and farmer, he
knows better what the farmer needs
than the farmer does himself. And
then the best of it al! is, he is not
afraid to get up and ask for it and
even demand it fer us.
A brilliant success awaits him
next election if we jadgc correctly
from the way his pcopie talk. We
count ourselves happy that we have
such representative at the seat of
government. This not to be for
warded in his next canvass, but only
in recognition of his past services.
Let's return him unanimously.

Keep Trash off the Streets.

Some time ago the policemen were
given orders to see that the people
put no sweepings on the streets, and
in the cutters. Cleanings of any
kind from houses, shops, dirty water
or any filth trash or offensive matter
were included in this order, and for a
few days the order was enforced, but
it seems that the citizens in some To-
calities have forgotten the order aud
have been piling trash in the cutters
in some places until they are about
full. 1t is also claimed by the OIL
GERS that some merchants now have
the cleanings from their premises
dumped in the back yards, and are
allowed to lie there and rot. People
should be very careful in keeping
their back promises clean, thereby
insuring a healthy Fall season. Lime
should also be used freely.

HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY
The Meeting at the City Hall Last Night
Shiny Atten 1ed by the
Members.

Thera was meeting Of the Hook
and Ladder Company al the City
Hall last night, at least a meeting
was called for 8 O'Clock. Thtre are
forty members of this company, and
out Of that number only six noses
were counted by Chief Mattill. This
did not keep them from having a
meeting, however. The Thos. b.
Reed mode of counting a quorum
present was adopted and routine bus
mess was transacted.
The event of most importance at
present among the firemen is the pro
posed ball and banquet, to be held
when the city fathers turn the new
hall and engine house over to the
boys. This will, in all probability,
be done at the September meeting of
the Board. The banquet will be
given a few days later.
Having this business on hand, "a
joint meeting of Deluge Fire Go. and
the Hook and Ladder Co. will be
held tonight at the city hall. Com
mittees on arrangements, invitation,
ETC., will be appointed, consisting of
men from both companies, and it is
important that large attendance is
had, both from the fire company
and the Hook and Ladder Co. The
meeting will be called to order at 8
O'Clock and all members are expected
to answer to the roll call.
