A New Tooth ] error.-According to
a well-known dentist, new terror
threatens mankind. People are los
ing their teeth from new disease.
Hitherto decay has been the cause of
the loss of teeth, aud when the age
OF twenty was once safely passed or
dinary care guaranteed the possess.
ion of strong and healty set OF teeth
during middle age. But now it seems
that when the danger of decay is pass
ed this new terror, the recession of the
gums it is called, must be looked out
for.
1t Is due 10 the depositing of tartel
in large quantities about the top and
bottom Of the teeth. This pushes the
gums back finally enfiames them
aud eventually causes the teeth t.
drop out. The only way to have this
disease retarded is to have the tartel
periodically removed and its accumu
iatiou prevented. Otherwise middle
aye will find men and women tooth

Remarks.

The shipments to date from this place are
one thousand bales short OF the shipments at
this time last year. Last year at this time the
price OF cotton was In the neighborhood OF
len cents. Now II takes fine sample 10
bring seven cents. Taking these figures into
consideration II is reasonable to expect the
coming year 10 be one Of unusual scarcity OF
money.
Three cents a pound on cotton means Sl2 or
SIS on the bale. In the aggregate this makes
n large amount, and Is enough to effect the
general prosperity Of the country.
The banks having made many long loans y
is presumed that there will be great demand
on their vaults from all lines OF trade and
business for the ready cash during the coming
Spring and Summer.
The wise man will therefore prepare him
self for the inevitable, and make timely pro.
vision for his needs. while curtailing his eX,
penses at every point. The prudent man VIII
refrain from contracting big debts at
this time. The low price OF cotton and the
consequent decline in the value OF farming
lands admonish careful people 10 be cautious
In their financial transactions.
