LETTER FROM BEAVER DAJI.


Death visited our little town last week
and caused the hearts OF two households
to bow down in grief. An infant son of
Mrs. John Austin passed away on last
Tuesday afternoon, and was inferred the
following day. Also the child of Mrs
Samuel Taylor, died Aug. 18th, 1875,
(born Aug 18th, 1875, and was buried at
Liberty cemetery on last Friday. The
WAYS Of Providence are mysterious, and
ofttimes fond parents wonder why their
innocent babes are torn from their breasts,
causing grief almost unbearable. Why
it is we caniot tell, but we are told to re-
member that He doeth all things in wis
dom and for our eternal good; and we are
told that our departed friends cannot re-
turn to us, but we can go to them.
GOOD SHOW FOR CORN
Prof Tice has been kind towards us
for the last few days, only giving us one
rain in two weeks. Corn is looking fine
ly and some think that larger crop will
be raised than for many years.
WHEAT
has been nearly all threshed and the prob
able yield is from ten to fifteen bushels,
some of which is OF course injured, but
the good and inferior were threshed sep
arately, thereby enabling persons to have
good flour.
POOR YIELD OF OATS.
Not more than one-fourth crop of oats
will be realized.
is greatly improved, and bids fair TO turn
out well.
AN OPPOSITION sTAGE-LlNE
to Ucnle John, has been in operation for
a week or more, which is all foolishness
They had just as well try to run the mos.
quitoes out of the county as to take his
trade from him. lie has done too much
for the people towards reducing fare and
freight, for others now to even attempt to
compete with him.
SHIPMENTS OF SHEEP AND CATTLE.
Mr.. Gray, of Shelby county, has ship
ped several car loads of fine sheep to his
home, from this point, recently.
Mr.. Thompson of Washington'cornty,
has also been shipping some fine cattle.
THE TAYLOR BARBECUE
is being talked of 10y almost every one,
and we look for every person here on that
day that ever heard of the name of Tay-
Tor; whom, we presume, will all be well
come, provided they bring provisions with
them. Bro. Lewis will be present, on ac-
count of his Grange relationship to Harb
"coLIC AND DIAREE."
Our market is being crowded every day
with all kinds of melons, and fruits gen.
orally.
THE NOTABLE MATCH GAME.
We can hardly wait for Thursday t.
come, being so anxious to see the gam
of base ball between the Blackstones an,
Gliques; well bet on the fat boys.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
Rev A. B. Smith preached for us las
Sunday morning.
GOOD SINGING.
Sunday afternoon we drove out to Lib
erty church, and listened to some excel
lent music from the choir at that place
composed OF about forty members, and le
by our worthy representative, Mr.. R. I
Hooker. !;
IN TOWN
MrOscar Stevens, of Cromwell, was i
town Sunday.
STAR GAZING.
Quite a number gathered together Sun
day evening, to gaze upon the two visibl
planets, Jupiter and Mars, which was a
astronomical sight they had not been ia
vorcd with for some time
IMPROVED BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Since the rains have ceased people a
feel better and business in most every lin
has improved some, which will douhtle,
cause the merchants to buy fall stool
