A recent bulletin of the United
States census compares the mortality
of 1890 and that Of 1900, and shows
that there has been diminution Of
something like 10 per cent. in the
death rate. In 1890 the average long
evity In the United States was s1.1
years; in 1900 it is S5.2 years. The
increase is 13 per cent. This is the
conclusion, at least, so far as cities
Of over 5000 inhabitants are con.
cerned, and it represents the facts for
the whole country approximately. In
1894 245 persons died Of consumption
in every 10000; in 1900 only 1870. The
case is similar, though not so marked
for other diseases-diphtheria, bron.
chitis, typhoid, cholera infantum and
the like. The main causes are per
fected hygiene of towns and the prog
ress Of medicine. Pneumonia, how
ever, claimed 1872 victims per 10000 IN
1900 to 1877 in 1890.

One proof of the good times now
prevailing in the State is found in the
number of new banks that are spring
ing up in so many towns and villages.
One of the latest aspirants for public
favor (and funds) is the Bank Of
Commerce at Lexington, which starts
out under bright auspices. May it.,
along with all those started within
the past year, live long and prosper
and be benefit to the people OF the
State.

in which he informs them Of his de
cision to retire to private life, and
assures them that he will not be can
didate for reelection to the high Office

lawyer, patriotic citizen and clean and
upright man from the public ssryice
OF his State win be distinct loss &c
tho State, and bis decision Is deeply
regretted.
