This is the season ol the year when the head ot the household slips quietly into bed at or aftor midnight and tells his wife that he won four turkeys at a cost of 65 cents; that he sold three of them and the fourth is down in the woodshed.

Two Mormon missionaries have lo cated in Indiana town. Thoir object is to make proselytes to thoir faith. They seem to think that what this country needs most is moro Mormons. Punxy Spirit. It is coming gradually to light Hint there aro scattered about the country in several spots, missionaries, or prose lyting workers in the interest of the Mormon church. Whon accused of it they gouorally deny that thoy have any thing to do with Mormonism. Two men and a boy one of the men and the boy boiujt named Forcster.form er residents of Murienville were recent ly arrested in that place by tho chief of police of Kane on a charge of passing countorfcit money. They were taken to Warren, whore the trio were to have a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Parm loe, yesterday. Tho evidenco against them is said to be quite conclusive, and It is thought this arrest will lead to tho breaking up, Tor a time at least, of a gang who have been operating through the northern tier of counties. The Maccabees of Hickory have giv en the contract for the erection of a good sized building at that place, which is al ready under way, L. B. Hull has the contract for erecting the building, and Chas. Smith for doing the stone work, which lie has begun. The structure is to be 20x60 foet, 21 feet high, the first floor to bo used as a public hall and the second for the use of the Maccabees and other societies of a like nature. It will be lo cated directly opposite tho store of Walter P. Cronch, a d when completed will be quite an addition to the town. Rev. W. S. Haunernian, who on two former occasions so dolighted large audi ences at the i'resbpterlau church of this place in relating his experience as a miss ionary amoug the Africans, will give another lecture in the same church to morrow, Thursday, evening beginning at 7:30 o'clock. All who beard him be fore will doubtless make an effort to be out again, and those who were unable to got out should not fail to improve this opportunity to hear the wonderful story he has to toll of life among these dusky natives. An opportunity will be given for asking questions which the speaker will tako pleasure in answering. Don't fail to go and bear Mr. Banncaman. You will surely not regret It. The practicability as well as the de sirability of a system of tclopnone lines connecting the rural districts with the more important towns and villages is unquestionable. By the establishment of regular stations at a low farm houses iu a community a large constituency can be accommodated, and share the conve niences thus afforded for conversing with friends socially or on business as the cuso might bo, and very often many miles of travel through bad weather aud over rough roads could bo thus avoldod. We have no doubt but that sooner or later the line just completed in this coun ty will be so utilized by the people, and that before long it will bo possible to call up a frioud iu most any section for a confub on mutters pertaining to business or pleasure.

I'l uile Oil For Ihn Roads. Josiah G. Winger, well and favorably known to many of Forest county's citi zens, has found a solution of the "good roads" problem, as well as a new use for the great surplusage of crude oil that is being daily taken from mother earth. In a letter to the Derrick of recent dato, written from hisjproscnt home at Grand Valley, Mr. Winger gives bin observa tions in thcRe words: Inasmuch as all people are deeply In terested in and in favor of good roads, I beg your kind Indulgence and space in your organ ol oil, that I may narrate my observations ol the effects of crude oil on tho road, which covers a period of three years. In the wiuter of 104, near Grand Valley, a small plug was forced out of an oil lino and a quantity of oil was spurted on the road. The snow was thoroughly saturatod with oil for about one rod in diameter. The oil was spread over the road by tho feet ol horses and by the action of sleigh runners, for the dis tance of about four rods. The roads -In the valloy are clay bottom and very dusty in dry weather and muddy in wet aud its no unusual thing to see dust from three to six inches deep and mud from ten to twenty inches in the season. This bit of road and the crudo oil referred to has at tracted my attention ever since. For when the dry weather returned, and "dusty roads" were the hailing saluta tion of every one you met, these particu lar four rods of road were as free from dust as a well kept brick paved strcot, and after a shower, wben the dusty roads were converted into beds of mud, this section of road was as dry as if no rain had follen. The writer has explained the pbonomenon to many obtorvers who were ignorant of the cause. At present, and after the action of three summers and winters, there is to be seen the un mistakable evidence of the preserving qualities of crude oil. Now, Mr. Editor, accepting the forego ing observations as truth, is it not safe to conclude that a hope for a solution of the groatest of publio comfort questions has a nucleus on which to rest a hopeT The writer has devoted his whole life since the discovery of oil to its develop ment, save three years from 1862 to 1865, while in the war, and has made a study of the groat blessings that, it gives to man, and I do believe that the time is not far in the future when dusty and muddy roads will be conditions unknown and that crude oil will bring this reform about. Oil and earth have an affinity for each other and wben united In proper propor tions on a road bed, are for a long time inseperable. The oil on a road bed pre vents the earth from rising in dust and excludes water and hence the impossibil ity of mud. It looks reasonable that an oil treated road properly shaped, will re main mudloss, when snow fulls even in small quantity it will give good sleigh ing, and wben tho snow goes in the spring will be ready for comfort, pleasure and business. In the employment of crude oil for good roads no change need be made in the mode of construction now in general use. The road bed should be properly shaped with machinery, and immediate ly after working and forming, and while the earth is loose and best adapted for the absorption of oil. The oil should lie ap plied, alter the manner of sprinkling streets. Tho quantity of oil to the rod cf road can only be dctei mined by experi ments and actual tests. The writer's opinion, based on observation, is that one barrel of oil to each Hires rods ol road will suffice. This, if the writer has not oried in figures at which he is not good will bo oil to the diptu of one third of an inch. Cuiront price of oil and cost of npplving will determine expense of treat ing a mile of road. Should not all join issue for experi ments in tho interest of good roads, and a donmnd for cheap oil f (Iffleers Fleeted.
