this city.
RUDE IN HIS LANGUAGE.
--
But the Town Assessor Evened Up
Things with the
Janitor.
Martin Hobbs was a man of un
i certain temper, but of such in*
portanee in his native town that
I lie lasli of his tongue was borne
with patience by those to whom he
grudgingly ministered in his ca
pacities of iceman, plumber and
janitor of the town hall, relates
Youth’s Companion.
In the course of his duties as jan
ilor he reduced almost to the verge
of tears a young woman who asked
for the key of a room in the town
ball where certain records were
kept.
[ Martin knew that she was writ
ing the history of the town, but he
did not propose to strew her path
with roses.
“Lockin’ and unlockin’,” he
grumbled, as lie began fumbling
in his pockets; “potterin’ and put
terin’, fussiu’ and fidgetin’, and
what does it amount to when all’s
' said an’done? Anybody ast’ ye to
write a hist’rv? Who’s agoin’ to
' read it? Here’s your key, and
mind you fetch it back, and lay it
on that table if I’m not here.”
The town assessor was at work
where he heard this ungracious
: address, and when the young
woman returned the key he said,
I indignantly:
1 | “Martin outdid himself in rude
ness this morning, I should say.”
“O, well,” said the young his
1 torian. “he felt a little cross, and
I had to grumble, that’s all.”
“Never you mind,” said the as
* sessor, cheerfully, “I’m going to
, make out his tax bill to-day, and
, 1 shall assess him for seven more
^ liens’”

Lake Shirwa Disappears.
It is reported in l’etermann’s
Mittlieilungen that Lake Shirwa,
discovered by 1 >r. Livingstone in
1850, southeast of Lake Nyassa in
Central Africa, has entirely disap
peared, with the exception of a few
small ponds in its bed. In Living
stone’s day the lake was 30 miles
long and from 10 to 15 miles wide.
At least it was thus shown on the
map. Lake Ngarni, also discovered
by Livingstone, has since disap
peared. The cause of the changes
appears to be a gradual drying up
of bodies of water in Central Af
rica. It is not a process of silting
up of the bottom, like that which
has recently affected the shore line
of the Sea of Azof.

1905. Start Right 1905.
The past Fall has been a lesson to those who have bought merchandise of a crredit of from 30
days to a year's time with the expectation of paying their debts with 10 cent cotton. True, some
have realized that price, but others are today holding their cotton to pay last year’s debts with,
and find themselves face to face with a hard proposition. This is a strong point in favor of the
cash system. And. besides, when you buy for cash, you only pay for what you get, and don't have
to help pay for something other people have bought and failed to pay for.
The new firm of Whiting & Comp my will make Newark a good town to trade in. We shall
fj handle all the latest styles in seasonable merchandise, and our prices will be beyond comparison
