In tho past ten years the pro duction of wheat has increased 53 per cent in*the south, and the number of hogs raised there has, during that period, nearly doubled. It has been estimated that for every dollar spent in this country for spirituous and malt liquors twenty cents ?B spent for tea and coffee. Commenting on this fact, a facetious Western paper says that the amount of money squan dered by the American people for tea and coffee is really astonish Commissioner Crum took charge of the dispensary on 1st Maroh, and announced" the following ap pointments: K C Webb, clerk ; GHyharles and M H Mobley, book keepers ; W W Harris, con stabulary clerk ; T C Dixon, Su perintendent ; Jacob Earhardt, assistant superintendent ; John Black, shipping clerk. The Memphis Scimetar says: "The tendency of most doctrines is tb be very narrow, and the loyalty for a particular church, is bred in the bone, as a certain little Mem phis boy bearB witness. His moth er was telling him of the childhood of Christ and in the course of her story said that Christ was a Jew. The little fellow looked up at her in wide-eyed astonishmint, and said in an awed voice: 'Why, mother, I always thought that the Lord was a Presbyterian." Mr. M. R. Smith, widely known as "Uncle Matt," one of Saludad oldest citizens, came very bleeding to death one night re cently before he himself or anyone else was apprised of it. On awak ening about 2 o'clock he found his face, chest and shoulders reeking wet. Making an alarm a light was carried to his room and at first blush it appeared that his throat might have been cut, judging from the pool of blood in which he wag lying. FroTQ hi3 nose a tiny but steady stream of blood was still flowing. Medical aid was quickly summoned and reached him just in time to save MB life. He was almost exhausted and on account of old age his recovery will neces sarily be slow. The bursting of a small nasal artery was the oause of the trouble. . Abbeville rejoices in electric lights. The PresB and Banner of last week has the following to say of the turning on : "Last Sunday night the electric lights were turn ed on for the first time, and our people were greatly interested in the sight. The town was lighted up as it waB never before lighted. Somebody raised the alarm of fire. The hook and ladder company and the hose reels turned out promptly, and there was immediate doubt as to which way to run. The alarm, it is said, was caused by a sleeper who was awakened and was aston ished at the light. It is also said that somebody galloped in from the country, a distance of five miles, expecting to see the whole town afire. JokiDg aside, the lights were first-class and gave abundant satis faction, except possibly on the outskirts where there was an in sufficient number of lamps. At present the power is furnish ed by Mr. Long, the plant being located at his ginnery. We are glad to see the succepE of the young gentlemen who hav* undertaken the contract for lighi ing the town. A Future Undertaking. It is tee plain for dispute thal the improvement of AmericaD highways must be one of the greal undertakings of the near future, The country is disgraced and bt*d ly handicapped by its poor road? and it is too intelligent, rich and energetic to endure much longei the annoyance, waste and ecoro< mic injury which can be tracee directly to the- lamentable condi tion of most of the highways ir all sections.-Cleveland Leader.
