SALES and PROFITS.
Some Dispensary Figures Of Gen.
eraI Interest.
THE RECORD OF A YEAR
What Each County Dispensary Has
Donc--Where They are Located--
Other Facts.

In view of the fact that it is generally
understood that this is to be test year
as to the operation of the dispensary
law in this State. there are many
figures that it will be well to
take a glance over at the outset of
the year. The General Assembly has
continued the bills relating to the
dispensary law to the next session,
thus delaying for one year every fight
against the law in accordance with Gov
ernor Ellerbe's desire to let the law be
thoroughly tested for II year before the
system is interfered with ut all. Dur
ing the year those who are int rested in
the several fights brewing for next year
will carefully watch all matters bearing
upon the operation of the law. Its
record will be reviewed as Il moral in
stitution, rs a money-makins, iuStitu-
ton and SO on.
The State accordingly gives the
figures covering the business as
whole up to date and showing the sales
and profits i'll the several county dis
pensaries for the past year, which are
worth clipping and saving.
The hoard reports that the next ac-
crued profit of the State dispensary
from the beginning of operations up to
the close of the fiscal year ending Doc
81, last, amounted to $4G6, .j3. SS.
There is an unearn2d profit reported of
81, 900. G,|, making the total accrued
and uncarned profit 1921, 404. u.

A Shower of Meteors.

People who were fortunate enough to
be up at an early hour yesterday morn
ing witnessed one of the most interest
ing celestial phenomena ever displayed
to wondering eyes. 1t was meteoric
shower or bombardment Of the earth
by shooting stars. Several persons who
saw it say the shower commenced, or
was noticed first, about S o'clock and
continued for about an hour. The sky
was clear with the exception Of bank
of clouds around the horizon. At first
there were a few shooting stars and
then suddenly the whole heavens lit
up with flash like lightning and it
grew brighter and brighter until there
appeared across the whole sky trail
of fire like the trail OF huge comet
and from 1t in all directions shot stars
or mctcors.
The light gradually formed itself into
a long streak like lightning and then
moved in a slow ZigZag, snake like
movement across the heavens and final
ly shaped itself into perfect letter
~ in which form it remained for a
long time and then slowly faded away.
During all this time there were nu-
merouS shooting stars and the whole
earth was lighted up almost as bright
as day. The display lasted for the
greater part OF an hour. but the great
light described was OF much shorter
duration. The phenomena frightened
many people and several instances are
related where horses were almost para
lyZed with fear at the strange sight

Old Towns, But Young Cities.

The fact that New Bedford, Mass, is
to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
its incorporation as city next Octo-
Der brings out the interesting informa-
ton that only four cities in the com
monwealth have passed the half cen
tury mark. The town and settlements
of Massachusetts are among the oldest
in the country, but the cities are COM
paratively young. Cambridge cele-
braetd it's iftieth birthday as city
last year. Salem and Lowell are just
ten years older than the university
town, while Boston attains her seven
ty-fifth anniversary this year. Worces-
ter as city will be so years old on Feb
ruary 20, 1898, and two years later Lynn
may make the same boast. Newbury-
port, Springfield, Lawrence and Fal
River follow in order, at intervals Of
a year apart. Chelsea joined the sis
terhood in 1887, Taunton in 1864, Haver-
hill in 1869 and Somerville in 1871.
Fitchburg became q city just rs years
ago, and the next year, 1873, three new
names were added to the ehst-Holyoke,
Gloucester and Newton. No more
towns were made cities till eight years
later, when Maiden and Brockton were
thus changed in 1881. OF the remain
ing II cities, Northampton is the old
est dating from 1858. 1t thus appears
that Boston is the only Massachusetts,
city older than Buffalo. Our ssmi-ssn-
