Weather threatening for rain. at this writing. Hope it will come, for we stand much in need of it. Charles Holtzhouer, who had made his home in Dixon, Ill, for the last two years, is here visiting his parents. The band is on the ‘‘go” pretty regular, this while past, attending picnics which are being held at nearly every cross road and hamlet in the county. The Fritz picnic was a grand affair, both sociably and financially. We were | told there was a large crowd there. | Herman Walker and wife, of Milford | township, were here visiting Charles Critchfield, last Sunday. | dren The Democrats here, it seems, dread this dry weather more than anvone else, for they say rain makes corn, corn makes whisky and whisky makes Democrats. Wm. Brant traded his beautiful Arabi- an horse to Frank Rumiser for his full- blooded Percheron horse. The Arabian was the fastest horse in this neighbor: hood and could easily trot a mile an hour, down hill. Nom DE PLUME. If you ean afford to be annoyed by sick headache and constipation, don’t use De Witt's Little Early Risers for these little pills will cure them. A. F. SPEICHER. Savage. Most of the farmers of this vicinity are preparing to do their fail sowing. A. J. Folk and N. B. Christner are working at their buckwheat. They ex- pect to thresh about one-half of the 1000- bushel field, and Norman says he is going to challenge Somerset county for early huckwheat cakes. “Fire Stone” has already commenced the wall for the fish dam, but has left a channel through the wall to let the waste water pass out. 1 am sorry to state that the sawlogs from which he had intended to cut the Inmber to line the dam with, burned for him. Yet, he says he wouldn't care for all that, were it not for the fact that the fire spoiled his pretty laurel bed or rabbit harbor. Zean savs there were at least $40 worth of laurel roots disfig- ured and damaged. “Wild Bill,” who still remains “Skunk Hill,” says he is going to locate in “Crab Hollow” and remain there through the winter season. on The onion farmer says he is going to “bandle up” and “skin out” of “Spruce Hollow” before winter, for fear of the night owls catching him in the deep snow. J. A., who is farming the Peggie Hutz- el tract, says he will not cut his buck- wheat before it He has been improving the road for some time, so that he can haul his corn wheat to market. Harvey Ringer, who is farming the sunny hillside, says he is going to pull his buckwheat, roots and all, this year. He is going to find out how the plan works. “Racoon Jerry” recently passed through here with a bran new solder iron, with which to solder together the two barrels of his 12-pound gun. He says he can shoot a gnat off the top of a tree at the distance of 100 yards. J. Holliday has sold his colt for $190. E. J.

He was reared by intelli- gent Christian parents, who bestowed | more care on the education of their chil- than was usually practicable with the educational facilities of pioneer life. His father’s family consisted of ten chil dren—seven sons and three daughters, only two surviving him to mourn their [Te was married to Elizabeth Bitt- ner. about 50 years ago, whose compan- loss. ionship he was permitted to enjoy until his death. As a husband he was kind, true land devoted; as a father, tender affec- tionate and forbearing; as a man, he was noted for his honesty and unswerving in- tegrity in the truth, He wasindeed a man- ly man—active and industrious, prompt and reliable in all his business transac- tions. From his conversion he was a diligent student of the Bible and believed with all his heart that the Bible is the all- sufficient and only true rule of faith and practice. His theology was of the posi- tive character, and while he believed what he professed to believe, with all his heart, he did not allow differences of faith to freeze out friendship. He pos- sessed social qualities of a high order, and you could not long enjoy his society before you felt you were with one who had much of the Primitive Christian in him. Six children are left to mourn their loss, 28 grand children, 7 great grand- children. Death no doubt to him was gain, yet such a man ‘is a loss to the be- reaved wife, to his children, his friends, his neighbors and to the home over which he so faithfully presided for over 50 years, His funeral services were conducted by Rev. Knepper, at Fink’s church, where a large concourse of people were assembled. He was interred in Fink's cemetery, near the church. PriMA DONNA.

It is not true that *‘every man His price has,” as they say; I know of one, an honest man, Who gives himself away. —Denver Times. Ignorance of the merits of De Witt’s Little Eealy Risers is a misfortune. These little pills regulate the liver, cure headache, dyspepsia, bad breath, consti pation and biliousness A. F. SPEICHER. The man who is not in love with his town is destitute of the public spirit which is characteristic of every genuine Ameri- can.

The ‘ladies entrance” to the saloon in San Francisco will have to go. Does society fully appreciate how much par- adoxical is the use of the term ‘Jadies” in such a connection, and will the “la- dies” who frequent the back rooms of the saloon feel as much at home else- where as in these haunts of degradation and vice? The true woman never finds her way into one of these entrances, so that no dishonor clings to her. Perhaps the world will come to appreciate the fact that between the two terms, ‘‘lady” and “woman,” the latter is the nobler of the two, and stands for the womanhood that men reverence and admire.—Ex.

We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still; The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so pale and chill, The lids that will not lift again, though we may call and call, The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all. We know not what it means, dear, this desolate heart-pain, To dread to take our daily way and walk in it again, We know not to what sphere the loved who leave us go, Nor why we're left to wander still, nor why we do not know. But this we know: our loved and lost, if they shonld come this day, Should come and ask us, What is life? not one of us could say. Life is a mystery as deep as death ean ever be; Yet oh, how sweet it is to us, this life we live and see! Then might they say, those vanished ones, and blessed is the thought, So death is sweet to us, beloved, though we may tell you naught. We may not tell it to the quick, this mystery of death; Ye may not tell it if ye would, the mystery of breath. The child that enters life comes not with knowl- edge or intent; So those who enter death must go as little chil- dren sent. Nothing is known, overhead; And as life is to the living, so death isto the dead. but I believe that God is —Mary Mapes Dodge. All the talk in the world will not eon- vince yov so quickly as one trial of De Witt’'s Witch Hazel Salve for scalds, burns, bruises, skin affections and piles. A. F. SPEICHER. THE FISH ARE BITING. The Condition of the Country as Seen From Buzzard’s Bay. [The following was suggested by hearing a crip- pled veteran remark that ‘every time Grover Cleveland had a bite, a mill or a bank failed, and every time he caught a fish, Hoke Smith knocked off a Union soldier's pension.”] A LAMENT FROM BUZZARD’S BAY. I can scarce understand all this bother, Why the banks are all going to smash, Why one big mill after another Goes down with a terrible crash. But the people must not get excited, There is nothing to cause such a fright. These wrongs I will surely have righted, And the fish are beginning to bite. The theories we won our hard fight on Were good times, with more work, better pay, Brought about by a tariff reduction, On which Congress should start right away. But our theories don’t pan out correctly, The conditions have scattered them quite. But My Congress wiil fix it directly, And fish are beginning to bite. This worry is all so vexatious, And the weather is growing so hot, They forget that I'm so sagacious, I will untie this troublesome knot. For I've called My Congress together, These loose things we soon will fix tight. In session they'll have the warm weather, And, well, T hope the fish will bite. When the flag we hauled down in Hawaii, The row it kicked up soon calmed down. “Cut the pensions down, Hoke Smith,” so say I, And there's only a slight howl goes round, For soldiers ean’t kick with but one leg, And you know that I can’t help but be right, If the veterans can’t work let them go beg, And the fish, I am pleased to say; bite. The dinner pail tax will soon vanish And all things serene I will fix, This dread Sherman bill T will banish And My Congress a new bill will mix, My own mill will soon be put running, Let the profits be ever so slight, And as the season's too early for gunning, T'll try if the fish will not bite. I'm afraid that the people will clamor, And think Harrison better than me, For the high-priced wheat promised the farmer, And sixty-cent wheat don’t agree. And the pledges we made to the workingman Haven't exactly come right. But people must not too much haste demand, Don’t kick till the fish fail to bite. So a truce to this worry and trouble, Get away to the mountain or shore, This panic will burst like a bubble, The hard times will shortly be o'er. And if you'll be guided by Grover, Take a sail on the waters so bright, And just cast a line or two over And wait till you feel your fish bite, —W. W. F.
