Many people become coffee topers before they realize it, and would be angry if thus described even by a close friend. It will pay suyone to examine carefully into whether or pot coffée has gained the mastery over them. A coffee toper may suspect that his or her alls come from coffes -drinking, but they will lavariably charge the disease to some other cause, for right down in the heart they realize that it would be practically impossible to give up coffes, s0 they hope against hope t it does not hurt them, but it goes on with its work just the same and .the result is complete collapse and nerveds prostrafion, lasting sometimes for years, unless = the poison that causes the disease is discon- tinued. There are hundreds of thousands of fllus- trations of the truth of this statement.

County Judge Waters and the Board of Commissioners are involved in a dispute over the county's right to fees received by the former for performing marriage cere- monies. The commissioners several weeks ago formally ordered Judge Waters to prepare a report of all fees received by him for this service. Mr. Waters has sent the following reply, denying the commis- sloners’ authority to command him in the premises: ‘‘Answering your recent communication relative to marriage fées and your conten- tion that they should be reported by me, I wish to say: That I am confidently of the opinion that you are mistaken in your contention and that the law, as well as past custom, ddes not require it. These fees belong to the county judge, just as the marridge fees paid to a minister of the gospel belong to him. However, it is very unsatisfactory to me that this ques- tion should remain undetermined, now that it has been r d. Your honorable board should take the initiative in this matter at your earliest convenience to the end that the question may be detes mined and I ask that in some way we ha: the matter definitely decided and soo: Should the fees for performing the ma: riage ceremony pald te me belong to the county then [ wish to pay them to the county, and if they belong to me I desire to know it definitely.’ Acting upon' the suggestion contained in the foregoing the missioners will likely institute a test to settle the contro- versy, which-‘is mow. being watched with Interest by‘ the commissioners of other countles throughtout the stat Pollce Business at Low Ebb.
