A BGby's Expensive Tooth.

The Salisbury Democrat stands
sponsor for the following story:
Tuesday morning John Hurry
went out in the ware-room of the
Salisbury Furniture Co. to draw
some varnish, and waiting for the
vessel TO ill he happened to think
that "baby had u TOOTH" and went
into the store TO relate the incident
to Will Lucas, forgetting all about
the varnish. In the course of half
an hour he happened to think about
varnish and struck q 2:40 gait for
the ware-room, and found that his
hall gallon cup had refused to hold
forty gallons so the floor had to
take charge of the surplus. When
our reporter got to the scene, John
was working Justify and had given
himself a liberal coat of the fluid in
order to save the balance. When we
asked him how much there was on
the floor he glared back at us and
About 75 gallons. That
was q stunner, and we have been
puzzling our brain to know how 75
gallons ever escaped from q 40-gal-
Ion barrel. Ask him; he will proba-
bly, explain il for YOU"
Mr.. Harry is now figuring out: "If
one tooth costs barrel OF varnish,
how much OF the glossy fluid will be
required for a whole mouth full of
teeth, and how many babies he can
afiordto raise at that price?"

We see by the Eccles correspondence to the
Salisbury Democrat that the Eccles Coal Co.
is perfecting arrangements to sink double
coal shaft on W. A. Dawkins' land at that
place. The company proposes to put in
steam hosting power and other mining ma
ehinery. The new shaft will be sixty feet
deep. and the company will work q Eve
foot vein OF black diamonds, and give
employment to as many men as the
capacity Of the mine will admit Of They
will put in new men as fast as room Is made
fer them. We predict success for the new
firm as this place supplies large territory
with coal and drift mines that we already
have, have failed to supply at least two
thirds of the demand for coal.
