Milton county, Ga, has lady who is
a shrewd trader. Not long ago the
merchants of Roswell went wild in theiy
efforts to control the chicken trade One
merchant raised the price of hens to
thirty-fve cents. The Milton county
lady went down and purchased about
twenty dollars worth of goods. The
merchant, thinking he would get the
cash, put the prices low When the lady
had finished the trading she turned to
the merchant and said, We'll, under.
stand you are giving thirty-fve cents
apiece for hens, and will send suf
6cient number next week to pay for this
bill of goods" The merchant was sold,
but he just grinned and endured it.
And now, when he goes to sell a bill of
goods, he inquiries whether il will be
paid in money or hens at thirty five
cents each.-Philadelphia Ledger.

From far western regions comes I'll
tale of a man who was killed by dead
snake. This story is SO thrilling THAT ii
Is best not to mention the name Of the
place where the incident occurred.
Snake bites from live snakes are bad
enough, but when it comes to bites from
dead ones, the place where such reptiles
live, or once lived, is good country to
avoid. 1t might be bad for the growth
of the town If / revealed its location.
This farmer went out one morning to
chop wood. Perceiving q snake near
his wood pile he chopped it into little
bits and threw all the pieces broadcast,
as a warning to other snakes not 70 ven
ture too near his wood pile.
AS he picked mp the portion contain
ing the mouth Of the snake, it closed
upon his finger, but he thought nothing
further about the matter. Two weeks
later, however, the finger began TO
swell and within couple of hours he
died. Thus we see that in these districts
dead snakes are as dangerous as live
ones.-New York World

Nickel and Silver Plating.

Many articles said to be silver plated
are really nickel plated Nickel plating
has many advantages over silver plat
ing. 1t does not so readily yield to the
action of acids, it looks as well as silver
and does not become black so quickly
from the gases in the atmosphere; be-
sides that, it is much easier and more
quickly done, and if people do not know
the difference, where is the harm? They
get the silver plating" and much
cheaper than would be the case were
genuine silver used, and the result is
generally more satisfactory. Louis

Upon investigation it was found that
the young folks, true to that bump of
imitation which lies dormant in all
little folks, had planned and gotten up a
miniature picnic. A small table bounte-
ously loaded with melons, fruits of all
kinds, cakes, snbstantials and many other
palate ticklers; diminutve refreshment
stand grooming under burden of small
casks of lemonade and other turntables;
and last, but not least of all, was large
crowd of well behaved, orderly children,
who conducted" the affair in manner
that would well become their elders.
At the sound of the gong the children
fell to with vim, and soon the edibles
disappointed from snch an onslaught. A

take this means of correcting this mis-
take before it goes on further. We hope
that this will make amends for any harm
that has been done. Most sincerely do
we regret that we should make such a
mistake, but regret even more that it
should be made at such time We wish
to ask that our carelessness be overlooked
in this one instant, and promise faithful
discharge of our duty in this line in the
future. 1t might be well to state that
we want to be just to all and unjust to
none If any one should have any doubt
about this matter at all, we beg them to

teur Boxing.

The Elizabeth Town and Country Club
called on the New Jersey Athletic Club
last night and a series of three games
We're bowled. 1t was an interesting even
ing and in view of the fact that it was
the first game that the Town and Coun-
try Club had bowled away from home this
season, they made a very good showing.
They won one of the three games.
In the first game the New Jerseys
started In the First frame to win and at
the end OF that stage had 80 pins the bet
ter of it. The fourth frame saw this
lead cut down to only a few pins, when
Jenk.as and Krebs got in the game with
a vim. A triple for each put the hopes
of the visitors beyond realization, and
at the finish they were Just ITO pins in the
rear.
The second game was a rafting good
one and kept the interest lively Throughout.
With q desire to ven matters up, the
visitors went at it like winners and lead
throughout. The New Jersey team Kept
busy all the time, however, and when the
totals of the ninth frame showed them
"a pins behind they never worried, but
got their second wind, and though they
tried hard, they lost by q pins.
The visitors went to pieces in the third
game and lost BY 1874 pins. The seores-
