New Designs in Silver

Silverware in this country. TIL
shapes were inartistic and thu
decorations clumsy and tasteless
Happily most of that plated
ware of that period is now worn
out, and owners may replace it
with the handsomes; article that
workers in silver ever produced
since the world began. Further
more, the prices are less than
ever Let us show you our new

Railroad.

Strange as it may appear there
are people who talk of another
railroad injuring CantonThe his
tory of the world proves that the
more railroads a town has the
better it is for it This admits
OF no controversy. Some people
cite Winona as an example of
being injured by the Ga Pacific,
One of the foremost business
firms of Winona thus puts that
question to rest in a letter to a
prominent man of Canton. "Be-
fore we had this road we paid
$500 per ton for coal now we
get it for s.. so. Steam coal they
formerly paid S2.I5 now they
get for $500. We pay -. Is for
steam coal and use in Canton
about 6 to 1000 tons in a year.
We pay for other coal IS. so per
ton. Winona voted Sos 900 in
six per cent bonds to the railroad
which will be paid by the saving
in coal alone. Strict Midd!ing
cotton sells in Winona for 9 1I,16
and in Walden and Grenada for
9 7-I6 to 9 3S. Think of this
coal people of Canton and farm
ers look at all the goods you
buy and freight on cotton This
railroad would be worth millions
to Canton and Madison County. |
Real Estate in Winona has risen
from SO to 100 per cent manu-
featuring industries are spring
ing up and the people could not
for any consideration be de-
prived of }he road. Let Canton
take lesson.

China.

1t is best for the powers to
come to some reasonable and
humane agreement about Chinese
matters and settle things at
once. it is folly to demand the
heads of princes in whose power
are tho Emperor and Empress
Dowager. 1t is also the height
OF folly to talk of partitioning
the Chinese empire among them.
They could never conquer and
hold this vast territory with its
teeming millions. They could
not transport troops and sup
plies so far by sea effectuaIly.
They would have to penetrate the
interior TO conquer the country
and then garrison it. They could
not keep open line communication
from the sea so far inland. They
can not spare troops for
the occupation, nor the
naval force to blockade e
ports. The Transvaal and Phil.
lipines are fair samples of how
much blood and treasure it cost
to hold an irreconsilable foe a
long ways from home, and they |
are pjgmies compared to China. |
None of the powers can spare
all the war power from home.

ADULTERANTS IN FOOD.
SENATE COMMITTEE LAYS
BARE USE OF IMPURITIES.

a serious detriment to the public health,
or where the adulterant is not injurious
to health frauo on the purchaser. Ac~
companyiDg the report is great mass of
estmo ny taken in the leading cities of
the country. The report says the i'm
portance of the Investigation proposed
cannot be too strongly emphasized. 1t
adds:
"The adulteratlon of prepared or man
ufactured foods is very extensively prac-
ticed and in many cases to the great dis
credit of our manufacturers. / is only
fair to say, ,wever, that large proper

are engaged in adulteraLing food pro-

and it is the expression of those gentle
men 20 say:
1--WE would be glad to get out of the
business of adulterating. We would like

would be willing to brand our sirups for
what they are, but our trade competitions
get trade advantage which we cannot
surrender"

adopt this uniform rule:

THE evidence before the committee
shows that all our peppers, cinnamon,
cloves and spices generally, Including
ginger and mustard, are adulterated.
One manufactures testified that he adul.

shells aud the amount of adulterants put
in depended upon the man who ordered
it. Some lines as high as go per cent,
was put in"

eff it is the policy to restrict our cIti~

should apply the same rule to foreignern

this country. There is no doubt in the
minds of the committee that large

As anticipated, the banks refuse to
recognize either of the cOntending

out money and the state funds are as
securely tied up as they could be.
Legislators, county as well as state
officials, and all kinds of contractors of
the state will have to wait until some
body is authorized by decision of the
courts to pay them, and the state will
have to wait on what is due it till the
