County Commissioners Meeting.

1t took the board of county COM
missioners nearly three days to TRAN
sact its business for the July meet
ing, held this week.
The board was called to order on
Monday all the members being pres
emit but Chairman Fearnside who
had been spending the day at the
beach and who did not return until
the day was nearly done. Commits
sioner Strickland was made chair
man, pro tempore. During the Mon
day meeting the commissioners
were engaged solely in the work of
Squalizing the tax assessments of
their several districts.
This work was resumed on Tues
day and when completed showed Il
total assessment in the county of
81, 633, 464. On this the following
levy was made for the different
funds, viz: county school fund, B
mills; general revenue, pa mills;
road fund, mill; bridge fund, a
mill; fine and forfeiture fund,
mill; State, mills,-a total of l4la
mills.
This Is the same as last year, both
as regards the state and county
levy. A good deal Is being said by
the state press about Gov. Jennings
having reduced the state levy. That
has been done On the general reve-
nue. fund, but as the amount has
been added to other funds, the peo-
pie will pay the same amount of tax.

The second brewing was no better than

Eight families lived in this house,
with sanitary conveniences Of the most
primitive order for one. The halls to
the top were sitting with the odors.
Every inch of space in the rooms was
occupied. Every family took dodgers
to reduce the rent.
The next visit revealed two boys Of
eight, with caps and coats on, sitting
on the floor, sewing buttons on trous-
ers. A little girl with a needle and
long thread ran from the room when
the visitors appeared. The place waa

Frank L. Mayes, editor and manager
Of the Pensacola Journal, 10 a news
paper man OF genius, enterprise and
ability.
On Saturday morning recently the
Journal contained a serious typograph-
lcal error. A large mercantile house
advertised thirty pieces Of waAh silk
at 20 cents per yard, but when the ad.
appeared in the Journal 1t read "thir-
ty pieces Of wash silk at 10 cents per
yard" FLA
Barly in the morning the ladies Of
Pensacola began a raid on the silk
counter, calling for that "ten cent
silk" The merchant was wild. His
reputation was at stake. He could not
AFFORD to refuse to sell goods as adj
vertised. He asked Mr.. Mayes for an
explanation over the telephone. Back
came the answer from MayeS, sell
your goods just as advertised ana
charge up the difference to the Jour

By noon Saturday every yard Of the
thirty bolts of silk was sold, the pur-
chRsers paying 10 cents per yard and
Mr.. Mayes paying the other 10 cents
per yard.
at was q costly mistake" says the
Journal, 'but we paid it. The reputa-
ton of the merchant to sell goods as
advertised was maintained, and the
reputation Of the Journal to make good
its mistakes was again and forever es-
tablished. But the advertisement, the
mistake and the swarm Of ladies who
hurried down that morning to buy silk
did more than all this.

pie do read advertisements and that

BUOY is LIGHTED By THE
ACTION OF the WAVES.

An inventor In Germany has pro-
posed a novel method Of supplying
electricity to light a harbor buoy al
night. He dlspenses with a cable from
a power-house on land and generates
his own current by the rocking Of the
buoy. The audible signals given by
bell buoys in a fog are produced in the
same manner. The motion Of the waves
tits the, apparatus first in one direction

and then in the other and makes the
clapper strike at short intervals.
A full description of the mechanism
employed in the new buoy is not yet
at hand, but one can easily fancy how
it is arranged. A small dynamo is
operated by the motion of the appar-
atus, and the current is first fed into
n storage battery, SO that the supply
to the lamp may be kept uniform. If
the brilliancy Of this light varied with
the condition Of the sea this system
would be unsatisfactory. Hence 1t
would not do to lead the electricity di-
rectly to the lamp. 1t is said that eI'
periments with the invention are al
ready in progress on the German
coast

Bloomington, and secured employment
in a wooden mill. In 1887 he was
elected constable and served six years.

said Mr.. Matthews, in speaking of his
experiences. "As a constable had
to make long trips over the billowy
prairieB of Mclean county. No roads,
seldom any paths, no fences, and the
inhabitants exceedingly few and far

Give the baby water six times day.
1 cannot dwell upon this command
with too much earnestness. Babies
suffer with a thirst that nothing but
water can effectually satisfy, and
those who have them in their care
should see to it that this important
fact is never forgotten.
And do not smother the helpless in

Is a barbaric custom. Make its veil

bon is drawn and finished in rosettes

over the cap with baby pins.
