We are told that the half and quarter
dollar and dime silver coins that have
been familiar since 1885. will retire
from circulation after January LIST next, |
and new designs will be substituted i
after that date. We have observed
that small coins have been Of a retiring
tendency with us for some time, but
we look forward to the new designs
promised with the hope that they will
be less modest and more friendly. We
shall welcome the .schange"
We have great respect for the man
who stands up truthiully for his own
market and abuses no other market or
firm. We have faith in the man and
market that spends some money in
sustaining it, and prices as we'll: that
puts the proof in print, and that don't
depend upon putls never paid for. Look
at any live market and we have got
the cards of many buyers and sellers
in our calumns. That's a sure live
sign Of business there now. and more

likely for two men to lie down on one
of them in the cold and die without
being found until next day.

gem, but it tells thrilling story. The
comedy is very much exaggerated, but

novel effects i'll the way Of steamboat
explosion, a railroad train at full speed,
and the scething falls of Niagara are
not only attractive in the advertise
nents but are put on the stage with
show Of realism. Alto
