A CONSOLIDATION of all the coal
dealers of Minneapolis las taken
place, and it is expected that the
combine will set prices for coal
throughout the Northwest. By the
time coal has passed through. the
hands of the great coal trust, and
then several local coal barons, it is
not surprising that it needs be kept
in the safe. ...-.=

pay tax on the full farm on four

that don't tax double over part ofthe

SOME BRIGHT JEWELS
Worth Reading from The Atlanta Con-

StitutiOn.
Mr.. Alfred BedIle. whose

in the Constition has this on
Meeting and Parting:'
"A little plotting in a play;
A picture fitting here aud yon,
A little owing, and a bond
Sweeter than ever poem conn'd
So speeds the merry time away.
"A little sorrow and Il dream;
A phantom flying far aud fast,
A little speck of sky o'ercast
With memorysof something past
SO shall parting even seem"
One ofthe "Literary' bureaus
advertiSeS: Bad stories and
verses made good. and placed
with reliable pub ,,h1rs." That
takes the prize!
Independence in Literature is
a great thing, in its way, but we
doubt if the following, from
Brother Martin Baddies. will
have a asoothing influence on
the critics,of,his verse:
