The service of the county phone is as

many of the cities, the three towns in
the county being connected the same as
though they were in one local division
and with no extra charge for rental
There are now l75 phones in use, the
largest number being in Ithaca. With
the service the company is giving now
at SIC 90 per year our citizens should
use more Of the phones in Alma than
at present, and with the Improvements
which are being made, we hope to see a
large increase in the number Of sub
scribers.

this firm very busy attending to the
wants Of their patrons and directing the
output Of their foundry.
They have recently built large and
commodious casting room and fitted it
up with all the latest improved designs
for facilitating their work. A consider
able amount Of new machinery has been
added during the past season and the
working force has also been increased TO
accommodate the demands made upon
the institution. An electric dynamo is
one Of the most recent additions that
have been made and their foundry and
machine shop is now very nicely lighted
by.electricity by their own plant. Just at
present the force is especially busy
building the winter output of the famous

mend those that are doing all in their
power for the public good.

ImperSonal Writing.

The newspaper is complete in itself

its issue OF tomorrow appears 1t fol.
lows that the newspaper man is valuable
only for what he can do today for to
morrow's paper. With every sunrise
there is ia great gulf fixed between him
and his past work. This means that by
no exertion, by no years OF faithful SER
vice, can he acquire position for him.
self he must each day enter race in
which there is the keenest competition
known, and on the morrow this race
will begin again. Now, it is physical
law that as a man gets along in life he
loses energy as he gains experience and
knowledge. The American newspaper
is the development in its s-gathering
lines of the intense energy Of youth. But
there is side of legitimate newspaper
publication which the unpersonality Of
the writers in this country has dwarfed.
yet which is one Of the most interesting
TO the readers and therefore one Of the
most profitable to publish. 1t is that Of
comment and criticism on the panorama
Of life In order to write this, years Of
experience and vast fund Of knowledge
Of men are needed. Even with these
the column so written is not as interest
ing, and therefore will not pay as well,
unless the writer be known.-Alfred

Through the Ice.
Two College Boys Have q Narrow Escape


AS a consequence Of little cold
weather last week the pond was found
to be frozen over, Friday, strongly
enough to bear the weight of man
skating alone and several adventurous
individuals got out their skates and pre-
pared to enjoy the CLASSY surface. AL
though several broke through, no one
got more than his feet wet until the
latter part of the afternoon.
AS Messrs Dunning and Willebrand,
who had been skating together for some
time, paused for moment the ice broke
beneath them and let them down at a
very deep place in the river. Their
calls for help soon brought others to the
place and Mr.. Dunning was soon drawn
out by rail reached to him from a dis
tance. The ice was 30 broken in the
operation that it became much more
difficult TO get to Mr. Willebranc A
long boat hook was finally procured,
twisted into Mr.. Willebrand's skate
strap and he was safely drawn out
During the entire proceeding the
presence Of mind, both OF rescuers and
rescued, was remarkable. Especial
credit is due Chester Walker for his
prompt acton in coming to the assist
ance of those in danger
Although Messrs. Dunning and Willie
brand were in the water for some time,
Mr. Willebrand nearly ten minutes, no
bad effects have resulted.

The Southern Iron Market.

The recent efforts to give Alabama iron some degree of steadness in the markets is attracting considerable attention. pr. Wm B. Phillips discusss the difficulties of the case in the American Manufacturer. From his point of view the concessions. of which much complaint is made. spring from yard grading He does not explain upon what principle the yard grad CT proceeds, but it stands to reason" that superficial grading does not always reach the core of the goods.
 To illustrate how yard grading works in of No. 2 foundry iron. He finds it readily enough in the yard and the price is SIPS, all have agreed to maintain that price for that grade. But the buyer, who is an and asks for an analysis-a chemical test of the quality. It proves to be either No. 3 foundry-price $7-or else No. foundry price s6.50. The buyer therefore gets No. 9 foundry in the yard at one of the last named prices. This is considered con cession, when in point of fact it is not. The yard grader could not see into a mill stone. Or else the 1I0OO tons are shipped on an order as No. foundry, and reclama- tions for off grading come back in due course of postal facilities with similar re- sult Either way it becomes matter of inaccurate yard grading.
 pr. Phillips therefore holds that 1t is labor thrown away to agree upon a sched- ue of prices untilssome trustworthy method of grading, based upon the actual compost tion of the iron, not upon its exterior beau- ty, is also agreed upon. The chemists view seems indeed to be the common sense view Of the case.
 The sales for steel making purposes are increasing. The export trade, which reached last year 21S.633 tons, is also in- creasing Both of these demand more accurate system of grading. The steel maker must know what he is buying. The buyer across the seas, the hope of this market-the man who gives 1t all the steadiness it possesses-should come to The question really cuts very deep, and upon it's satisfactory solution depends no doubt the further question as to the es- tabishment in this city of real iron mar ket and stable and known prices. Practi- cally now every seller has a price of his own, and every buyer knows he has, and he proceeds therefore to secure it, regard less of agreements or published prices. An abandonment of the unscientific yard grad ing seems to be the sole remedy.
