Elopement,

1t is not good for man to be alone" So
James Murphy thought on last Tuesday morn
ing, when he arose from an almost sleepless
couch, to prepare'to attend Church at Graves
town, peaceful village in this county. Ac-
cordingly he repaired to the residence Of John
Burkheart, much against the wishes of some of
the inmates, and proposed to accompany Miss
Harriet Burkheart to Church, which PROPOSE
ton was kindly received by the object Of his nd
grafton. Both believing that it was not good
for man to remain alone they concluded and re-
solved to perpetuate that mornings happiness
throughout the vast yicissitudes of their subse-
quent life. Falling far behind the unsuspicious
parents, who were riding in buggy and unpre-
pared to follow the youthful wonderings of love
sought fancy, they on arriving nearClapps Chap
ell changed their course for ono of moro roman
Rev. II. +. Byerly, James Shipe and others,
who CHANGED to direct their steps thither.
These being somewhat acquainted with the
heartfelt wishes of the loving two extended 8
helping hand in time of need. They received
their friendly aid with many thanks, and through
an uninhabited section and woody road they
soon arrived at the house of James Luttrell their
esteemed pilot, messenger having been pre-
viously sent viz: Joe Luttrell, in search OF a
preacher to administer few. soothing words
from matrimony's favorite vocabulary to the
loving pair. The velocity of the uimble messen-
ger (beng too fast for an ''old body'D excited
the people about Bethlehem, Being asked what
was the matter he told them that man over the
way was very sick with pslpitstion of the heart
and wished the preacher to talk to him before
he died. Without any one finding out his real
business he procured the services of Elder John
Walters, residing nosr McMillan's 8, who reached
Mr.. Luttrells house within five minutes of the
arrival of the other party.
All things being ready he soon, with becom-
ing modesty, pronounced the twain one flesh.
Having psrtaken bountifully of tho luxuries OF
the old farmer table. the bridegroom and bride
with an appropriate escort, departed for the long
sought roof of their future home

Mad Dogs.

The dogs are spreading CONSERVATION in
Granger county, in the neighborhood of Rut-
ledge. No less than four were killed there last
week. One of them ranged at large for day
or two, and was pursued with guns and pistols
and finally killed, not, however, until he had
bitten fifteen or twenty other dogs. One gem
tleman made very narrow escape from being
bitten by the ravng beast. The dog jumped at
him and caught his clothing, but fortunately
did not puneture the aesh. 1t is quito natural
that excitement should exist In that neighbor-
hood under sueh circumstances.

Railroad.

By reference to advertisement in
anothercolumn, it will be seen that
we are to have another election.
This time there is no need of divis-
ion, and politics will be entirely lost
sight of. The vote is to be on the
proposition to lend the. credit of the
township for a certain amount to
build railroad through it, on the
line of the Chicago and New York
Air Line Survey.
The project is one in which all
are interested for it is OF. vital impor-
tance to the growth of the city and
surroundingIcOuntry. No one can
doubt that the railroads we have,
aided the building up of the city,
have aided the improvement of the
country, have produced a market
right at our doors for every produc-
tion, and an avenue through which
to transport any surplus to market
not supplied, and that every branch
of production has been stimulated
and improved by them.
An additional road traversing q
different section, but leading to the
same marts, awakens competition,
and the cost Of carrying becomes less
without Diminishing the market val
ue of articles carried. Population
increases and the city reaches out
into the country. The farmers
lands increase in value for miles
around, and he receives a double
benefit in the advance ofreal estate
and the enhanced profit on what
he raises
The new road will be a good
thing. Good for every man, and
every man should vote for it. 1t
takes nothing directly out of any
ones pocket, but will eventually re-
turn much to every one.

Of the above States, Mary
land, Missouri, Alabama,
Florida, Oregon and Neya-
da are still to be classed as
undecided, but the indica-
tions so far as received are
according to our classifica-
ton. Arkansas and Flori-

on the other hand, Maryland

toward Grant. So that, on
the whole, we think Greeley
will get less rather than
more than 80 electoral votes,

ahead. This is enough.
