The shopkeeper who cheats us nv living

dangerous and villainous character.

The Shakers have always been known

The trouble between the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the authorities
of the city of Milledgeville eliminated
Saturday, and. as a result there is a very
fine prospect that within a few days Mil
ledgeville a city of 5000 inhabitants, will
be without a telegraph office For a year
or two past the telegraph companies here
have paid the city license tax of $50 per
annum. The council raised this tax this
year to 500. The companies have vigor-
ously protested and cite the fact that At
lanta and Augusta charge only the same
amount. Superintendent Bremen of the
Western Union reached the city Friday
night. and had an interview with the
mayor and council. The council stood pat
and refused to reduce the amount. Mr..
Brenner's directions from the headquar-
tiers of the company are TO the effect that
If payment of the license is insisted on he
shall close the Office at that place within
the next three days. The Postal Tele
graph Company occupies the same posi-
tion as the Western Union, and will take
the same action. Mr.. Bremen shows that
the net receipts of the local office of his
company was last year only about 500,
so that this license tax, If insisted on, will
be nearly Is per cent. Of the total net
receipts.

porter had an Australian policy which
he knew would be Of the greatest ben

print it. His modest request was that
Kipling would let him put forth his
theory rs the scheme of the novelist.

Goat Meat for Mutton.

The Biblical contrast between the
sheep and the goats came up oddly at
Buffalo, N. Y, when Market Clerk
Roesch announced he had discovered
that Western farmers are shipping
goats flesh here and selling it for
mutton. The remedy for the practice
has been summary, for the clerk no
sooner made the discovery than he
poured kerosene oil oil over the carcass
and set it afre.
This meat has been coming in for
some time, and was becoming popular
with the butchers, as it was sold to
them at cut price, and could be
worked off as mutton. So far it has
not been discovered where the meat
comes from, but it appears that con.
siderable quantity OF it has been gath.
cred in some part of the West and
shipped here. Probably when. other
receiving centres look into the matter
it will be found there, too. 1t is hard
for the uninitiated to tell goats meat
from mutton, and it is wholesome
enough if properly handled, but it is
far from being mutton, for all that

SIGNS IN BUTTER MAKING.

We were warned n very long time
ago against the foolishness of beliey-
ing in signs. And those people who
believed in them were called Il foolish
and peryerse generation. What was
true then is so now, and we have 4
great deal more knowledge abroad
now than people had then. The bios
soming Of the elder, the signs-so
called-of the stars, the condition OF
the moon, are all without any influ-
ence on the cows, or the milk, or the
butter, or the cheese. and the witches
that once were supposed to infect the
churn and prevent the butter coming
We're all imaginary. Food of tie cows
and such skillful management of the
whole of the work OF the dairy, and
nothing else, are the sole and whole
causes of good or bad butter or
cheese; or of difficulties or ease in the
making of them.-New York Times.
