cool, but on Monday there was rain
"A number of persons in town have been at
tackled with chol lera horbus within the past few
days.
Joseph Dickson moved down the weeds in
the Public Square on Tuesday. 1t looks much
better.
The dry, cool weather for the past two
weeks was an excellent time to get the hay crop
well secured, and the rain on Monday aud Mon
day night was just the thing for the corn.
AS we expected, the boy who attempted to
sprinkle the streets has gone under. The dust
was too many for him. He has not made his
appearance for several days.

to call and see his style of work, and learn his
prices, and not be led astray by outside rumor :,
A few days ago, Esq. Winfough committed
Dennis Hector to jail, for abusing his wife.
Dennis keeps doggery at Gross Roads, and
unfortunately he imbibod too much of his own
bad whisky.
lone evening last week It is said that two
coal-dlggcrs agreed to fight, and went down
near the Fair Ground for that purpose, followed
by a lot of boys. When they arrived at the

ALL Sensible to the last.
For the past three or four weeks, Foster
Steele, agent of the Harndcn Express at this
place, has had bleeding at the lungs, and he is
still in poor health. He has sent in his resigua-
tion as Express Agent and Samuel saylor has
applied for the place. We do not see why Mr..
Savior would not make good Agent.
j. II. Kicker, formerly of Madison Furnace,
bss removed to this place, and viii manage Full
ton Furnace, We first saw Mr.. Kicker in the
year 1887 at Jackson Furnace where he was
clerk lie has been engaged in the furnace bu-

in the county who more thoroughly understands

Let all school teachers who want certificates
for the fall and winter schools, see the adver-
tisement Of the next examination. This exam
inatiOn is held so that there may be no excuse.
You had better not stay away from this exam
ination with the expectation that the Examn
will sign your certificate because they know
already that you are competent You must go
through the regular examination. Remember
this.
There are various opinions about advertis-
ing. We know that it is good thing. Some
time ago We had a COW to sell. We advertised
her one week, which enabled us to sell a COW
that we had not advertised. We had calf TO
sell. We intended to advertise it, when the mere
intention enabled us to sell it. We had calf
to stray of. We advertised it one week, when
it actually came along the street 10 front of the
office, as much as to say; ''See, here l am. "
That is our experience of the advantages of
advertising in the cattle business alone.
We are told that Irvine DUNCAN Esq. an
nounced himself last week in the Chicago Her.
aid, as editor of the jackson side of the paper.
He has in reality been editor for year past.
We also understand that he has challenged us to
compare the records OF the late Mayors of this
Village, and see who Of them has, and who has
not, paid over the public money. We accept
that challenge. We do not desire to shield our
party friends, and we think that now, when
ia xes in the Village amount to nearly two-thrds
the legal rate of interest, it is about time that
at least two of the late Mayors-one of each
party, be made dlsgorge. What say you Mr..
Dunganf Shall we both prod them up and II
necessary name them OUT Let US hear from
you.
