The An ericsnized Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica
Is valuable because it is accurate, because it
is modern, because it has rejected the
worthless and preserved the necessary, be-
cause 1t brings the history of science, litera-
turo, commerce, geography and discovery,
aud the mental and moral development Of
the race down to the year 1890 In It's ten
large octave volumes will be found an
amount Of interesting and profitable read
ing Of incalculabe value to the busy man.
The historical record Of every country of
the world, of every state and city of the
union, Is brought down to the current
year. Its statistical matter is Invaluable
for it Is taken from the very latest official
returns in all cases. An additional interest
attaches to the Americaaized Encyclopo.
dia in that 1t Is prepared in America for
Americans, and that, while paying all due
attention to the grand record Of olden days,
1t has devoted ample space to the story of
tho present, the most important and pro-
gresslve of ali the centuries The traditions
OF mythical past, the hoary records of a
remote antiquity, are not permitted to
usurp the space which Is needed for q
description OF the history and the inven-
tlons Of modern days. Not that Grecian lit
erature or Babyloaian inscriptions or the
story Of Anoient Egypt, or of the Dark
Ages and the Renaissance, have been Ig-
Dored or neglected. All that Is valuable on
these subjects has been retained, stripped of
encumbering and lahored WORD, painting.
And, to bring the book into line with mod
ern thought, the most recent discoveries Of
science, the gigantic growth of commerce
&id manufactures the political and moral
awakening Of the world Of today have been
added. Thus the Americanized Enoyclopae-

bic, that in this one work alone the reader

A Brunswick Negro Arrested IN Tom
Goldsn's Place
Considerable excitement was raised In
the neighborhood Of the Little De Soto
oarroom on Jefferson street, kept by
Thomas Golden, last night. IL was caused
by the arrest Of negro from Brunswick
named Merritt, who was in the bar
at the time. Merritt was under
bond on some charge in Brunswick and
jumped bis bond. His bondsman, a mar
named Miliken, who lives in Brunswick,
was anxious for his return, and hearing
that be was in Savannah sent a colored
constable from Brunswick here to arrest
Merritt.
The constable, realizing Merritt
would know him as soon as he
saw HIM, got Paul Cohen, a
colorsd constable for Justice Shsftall, to 60
inside the bar and put the bracelets on Mer-
rift, which he did, making a very quick
aud clean job Of H. The Brunswick con.
stable then walked In and took charge of
the prisoner and escorted him down to the

1t appears that the New York importers
have played a sharp trick Last January q

authorities there as unclaimed rice. Their

case argued. 1t will Be recoIlected that
