A party of fifteen gentlemen from
Marienville coming down to attend court
Monday mot witii what might have been
a serious accident a short distance below
Nebraska. They occupied seats In Ed
Harmon's carry-all and when the rig
struck an Icy spot (he sleigh slid over the
embankment, precipitating the entire
load In a mass. G. W, Duhl, Win. Cole
and Goo. Songer were considerably cut
and bruised about the face aud head, and
all the others were more or less bruised
but none seriously. The rig was some'
what demolished, but was able to con
tlnue the trip.
The notion held by many intelligent
people that swallowing the seeds of
grapes, berries and other small Iruits Is a
direct cause of appendicitis Is thoroughly
exploded by an expert physician in a re
cent number of tho Dietetio Gazette
"This fear," the writor says, "is utterly
baseless, since the heally appendix is
protected by a valvular arrangement
which prevents even the smallest reeds
from euterlng it. It Is only after In flam
nation has already destroyed Us normal
protection that any foreign substance can
gain access to It. To feel compelled to
eschew all seedy berries and fruits Is to
seriously curtail one's dietary, and it Is
entirely unnecessary. In fact, the free
and constant use of ripe berries and fruits
of all kinds is one of the best preventives
of this dangerous disease."
Sons of Veterans' Camp Fire.
The Sons of Voterans had a camp-fire
on last Wednesday night at Iiovard's
Hall, and there were big doings. The
entertainment began with a piano solo
by Miss Bertha Vought and it was a good
one, too. Then Cap'. Caulkins gave the
audience some chin music of an excep
tionally fine kind, and when he was done
those present knew nearly as much about
the Sons of Veterans as they do them-
selvts.
The members of this latest born of the
town's naganizations have dune nothing
yet to prove their valor, but they showed
the audience how to sing, and the worst
of it was that as their reportoire was
small they couldn't repeat the favors.
Their song was called "Under the Stars
and Stripes."
Then Mr. Illlngworth had something
to toll about the record of the G. A. R.,
and briefly recited the work of that
splendid body of men In behalf of their
country. He was followed by Mr.
Rituhey, who made an admirable address
explanatory of the Woman's Relief Corps,
which was attentively beard by those
present.
The Knox Camp Octette now sang
with good effect, "Keep the Camp-fire
Burning," but refused t respond to the
voclforous call for "more." Miss
Joyce, however, proved a good substitute
hy the pleasing way the recited "Schley'a
Description of the Battle of Santiago."
Miss Lanson attracted alieutiou by her
piano solo which was one of the feateres
of the evening and put everybody Into a
happy frame of mind for listening to the
best address of the occasion, a eulogy of
Abraham Lincoln, by the Rev. Mr. Feit.
At the conclusion of this inspiring ef
fort, the name of 8. D. Irwin was an
nounced to speak on the "Arkaneaw
Campaign," who in his inimitable way
detailed many incidents, both pathetic
and humorous of that famous invasion.
Mr. Ritchey sang "The Bugler" w ith
good effect, Miss Randall accompanist.
Then A. C. Brown, Esq., addressed the
gatberiug on "The Spirit of 'lis," and did
it excellently. He was followed by Prol.
Morrison, who read a paper on "Patriot
Ism," which was well received.
After the applause had subsided, Miss
Holeman favored the audience with
a recitation gracefully spoken and highly
appreciated. Then while the boys sang,
rations were served, consisting of baked
beans, sandwiches, hardtack and coffee.
This ended it, but it was a fine time
and everybody enjoyed it hugely, saying
as they left that they hoped there would
soon bo another Camp-fire and that they
would be invited fo attend.
Was It Coiiver or Prentice.'
In the couise of bis funny spetch re
cently Representative J. Adam Bede
made mention of the fact that when a
certaiu Mr. Day married a Miss Week,
theie was considerable regret on the part
of the neighbors on account of the groat
loss of time. Hut the editor of the local
paper, who was a philosopher and a gen
eral comforter of his people, reassured
them in bis next issue a follows :
A Day we gain, a week we lose;
Hut why should we complain?
For soon there will be days enough
To make a Week agaiu.
Whereupon Mr. Williams, of Missis
sippi, aiose and said that in tho Interest
of literary history he wished to remark
that George D. Prentice was the author of
those immortal lines.
This weare inclined to doubt. Wo are
under the impression that the late Peter
Convcr, founder of the Forest Republi
can, was the author ol that witty vorselet.
Mr. Prentice was a great admirer of the
Forest county genius, and ustd to quote
all of his productions in the Courier
Journal. And unless we are mistaken
this gem was written by Mr. Couver aud
only reprinted by Mr. Prentice. Per
haps the present editor of the Foiikst
Rkcuui.ican, Brer J. E. Wenk, could
enlighten us. Punsutawney Spirit.
Our usually accurate and always versa
tile friend Smith is somewhat In error in
his deductions. To begin with, Peter
Conver's papor was the old Forest Pressi
which died when he died, as a matter of
course. We do not believe Pole origi
nated tho above striking verse, aud so
would advi.-e that Mr. Prentice he given
the credit. Aud we are morally certain
that Mr, Prentice did not reproduce all
of Conver's wedding verses. He couldn't
do it and live no, not even in Kentucky.
