The laying of water service pipes was
completed on Tuesday of this week, for
all who have ordered the water. All who
have ordered the water thus far figured
up, give the village an income Of $3.50,
which is a trife over Az per cent. on the
cost of the plant. This is $3.50 more in
come than the village pays on the bonds
which paid for the system, in addition to
the fire service which the village gets free.
Thus the system is not going to hurt the
feelings of the tax payers much. The in
come ofcourse will gradually increase as
additional takers will Happily for the water
every year. But to make sure of pay
,nent when the bonds mature, or before,
the village should raise tax of, say, 10
per cent. to go into sinking fund to
meet this emergency.-Lyndon Union.

Northern Colony In Georgia.

tie this winter ON land purchased for
the Fitzgerald colony. Ex-Governor
Northen is now in Wilcox, where he has
options on $4,000 acres of land in addi-
tion to that already purchased through
him FOR the colony.
Many Of tho colonists are Union sol
diers. AS soon as the charter is granted
the land will be surveyed into lots to
suit purchasers, and $4,000 acres will
be laid off into town lots. The streets
will be wide, and doubtless it will be
one Of tho best laid off towns in the
south The site for tho township has
not been selected, nor has the name been
suggested, but it is thought that one Of
the most appropriate names that could
be given is Northen City. The colonists
will begin to arrive in full force about
Oct. |. 1t is claimed that many Of the
colonists are worth from $1,000 to
$50, 900. The company has capital Of
$500, 600. They will expend $3.50, 900
in buying tho lands, and $3.50, 900 in

That was about what was expected,
and yet II did t please. We got togeth-

and asked what was up. When he had
been informed, he replied;

Five minutes later he showed us the

end of tho dispatch was that of the gen

A most ridiculous discussion arose the
other evening at a cosmopolitan dinner
party. Conversation tagged slightly,
and a wicked Yankee launched an ap-
pie of discord in the shape of tho state
ment, now well known in London, that
a bill was being framed in the house Of
lords forbidding man to marry his
widows cousin. A French lady made
cutting remarks about the established
church of England and its restrictions.
A French colonel ponderously declared
that the depopulation of France would
prevent the French government from
putting any such limitation ON mar
riage, which was already difficult
enough in this fair land. Sundry Amer
leans rejoiced in Phariseelike manner
over the absolute freedom Of our own
beloved country, as this was evidently
not.a case of the prohibited degrees,
and finally the discussion bid fair to de-
generate into serious dispute, when
the author Of this turmoil mildly sug-
gested that as yet no man had after his
death taken any interest in any of his
widows female relatives, which put q
sudden end to the political theological
debate then raging. Philadelphia Tel

of sight again, the antelope, impelled
by their fatal curiosity, moved nearer to
them. So they kept it up until the

Peeuliarities Of Chess Players.

Many of the great chess players han
die special pieces with greater mastery
than others. Tschigorin is noted for his
rook play, Louis Paulsen's preference
for bishops was strongly marked, and
Winawer plays his knights with con-
summate skill. With Pillsbury it is the
management of his pawns that is es-
pecially striking. Often, when the posi-
tion looks like hopeless block, an un-
expected sacrifice of one Of his pawns
leads up to break through the center,
against which the adverse forces are
powerless, and whether the pawns are
being pushed against the adverse king
or are passed and aiming at the eighth
row, they are led with equal skill and
effect. Boston Transcript
