KAOLIS
Outcro9plngs OF

KAOLIN
along the banks Of the Yellow River
have caused extensive explorations with
the best success. No doubt Kaolin ex-
lists in unlimited quantities along the
valley of the Yellow River, extending
in to the marshy district, where acres
upon acres exist with 4 varying depth
of six to sixteen feet
We found Mr.. L. \. Houston, who
is one OF the pioneer men Of Wood
County. and one Of It's most reliable
citizens, making improvements in di-
vor~ directions He is remolcIing his
house, which promises to be, when
completed, a beautiful structure locat-
el upon one of the loyltcst Of the
many lovely spots in Yellow River Val
ley
In the morning. after a glorious re-
past, in which yellow legged chickens
we're as prominent rs democratic votes
in the back pay steal, we wiped the
honey and other exccllencics off our
face and whiskers vita a napkin, as
testimony that we had been exceeding
" well entertained, and behind MIR
tloaston's steady bays, came unto
the village Of Dexteryilie We scarce
y knew the place. seeing it from
another point.
Mr.. Frank Hiles is erecting a very
beautiful house, as is also James Hiles,
which, when completed, will compare
favorably with any in Wood County.
Many other residences are going up at
various other points. Mr. Thorp, a
wagon maker who proposes to do some
thing in his line, IS also putting up a
substantial residence
W. Il. Jarvis, another of the old
settlers, is about erecting a large no.
tel. The plan was drafted by Mr.. \.
:. Robinson. who exhibited to us the
design. The main building is to be
32x50 feet, two stories, with an l. Dix
80 feet. Mr.. j. proposes to Keep one
of the best hotels in the West, when
once h gets under way.
Mr., A S. Robinson, who was for
merly in the employ of Symme, Hew-
EFT & Co, has established himself in
the general merchandise business, and
is being encouraged we should judge.
He keeps a large assortment of goods,
not emitting stoves AMI hardware. lie
also keeps the Post Office, and acts in
many capacities for the good of the
town.
c. Ii. Ketchum we found running a
brick yard. where he has turned out
over 100000 brick the past season.
We observed the cid machinery Of the
that was to be. Hiles' Mill, rusting under
a temporary shelter from the elements.
1t will probably never be called upon
to do service again upon Yellow River,
as Mr.. Hiles is interested elsewhere,
and will probably never rebuild in the
Yellow River Valley.

AN AWFUL HORROR.

Information was received in Pitts
burg recently that a terrible horror
has Just been unearthed at Chaps
manville. Two weeks ago a woman
named Martha Coggswell, wife of
Anthony Coggswell, drover, died,
as was supposed, in the village nam
ed, and was buried. Her husband
was absent at the time. His first
knowledge of his wife's death was on
Thursday last, when he returned
home. Almost wild with grief, he
insisted on her body being exhumed,
so that he could see the remains.
This was done, and the coffin was
opened in tho presence of several
friends. To the unutterable horror
of all, the body had changed its po>
sition in the coffin, showing that Mrs.
Cogswell had been buried while she
was in a trance. The body was ly-
ing on its face. Evidence of fear
full struggle made by the unfortunate
woman when she recovered concious-
ness in the coffin were visible. The
flesh was torn from one shoulder, and
the shroud was covered with blood.
When Mr.. Coggswell saw what ter
rible fate his wife had met he fell
senseless across the coffin, and has
been raving maniac ever since.

GOING BACK ON THE MAN AND
BROTHER

Mississippi is under the heel OF
the negro. The chief offices of trust
and honor in that State are filled by
specimens Of the lately enfranchised.
In fact the negro element in Mississ-
ippi is the political power. Ames,
their present Governor Of the State,
and the son. in.law of Butler, was
elected to his present position almost
exclusively by the negro vote. Yet
like the majority of men suddenly
elevated, he kicks from under him
the ladder by which he was raised
beyond his merits. A Mississippi
paper says Of him : He and his wife
have "sourcd" on the "man and
