We had almost twenty four hours
continuous rain-beginning Sabbath
morning. Still, refreshing as it is, it
comes two weeks, at least, too late for
the meadows, that are shooting at
three or four inches in height. Wheat
is also putting out with very short
straw. The farmers will make the
most of their late pasture, and rely
upon their oats and corn-fodder for
wintering their stock kept over.
Last Thursday morning at the house
of G. 3. Turner, our very good friends
DIR. w. S. Fisher and Miss Amanda
Collins, were married in presence Of a
happy throng of invited guests. After
feast of good things the happy couple
left for visit among the Dr's. friends.
Long, long be your lives with sweet memories
filled,
Like the vase from which roses have once
been distilled.
And may your bucket of life slop over
with choicest blessings at every step.
Our delegates to the State Conven-
ton are in joyous mood over the re-
suits, as we'll as the paternal feeling eX-
hibited ON all hands.
On Friday last Josh Holland met
with serious accident. While attempt
ing to mount mule from log it roll
ed from beneath him, frightening the
animal which at once commenced kick
ing-striking Josh in the face severely
cutting him and breaking his under
jaw.
There is unbounded satisfaction in
Pease over the ticket nominated at Co.
lumbus. Hayes always was $50 votes
stronger in Pease than TAFT, and we
promise, unless the balance of the
State goes unprecedentedly heavy
against him, Pease Township will
make Hayes Governor, and elect the
rest of the ticket.
Geo. Medill sued William Armstrong
of the Island, for damages in falling to
furnish brick according to contract, for
building his house. Trial to Jury.
Alexander for plaintiff and VIM. Tall
man for defendant, which latter lost
the case and says he will take an
appeal.
Fergus & Mediil are about done
piling 1,500,0 feet of we'll selected
lumber, and the same number of
shingles. This, with 130, 900 feet of fine
pine logs awaiting the Whiz of their
saws looks like healthy business. Their
facilities are certainly extraordinary
for big trade.
Sam Dean, than whom no truer Re-
publican lives, becoming perfectly en-
thuSiaStic over the Conventions dOingS
at Columbus, concluded not only to
have the State but the entire nation
saved at once. With this view he call
ed on General Sherman first to pay his
respects, and then to learn from the
Generals own lips his pOs.tiu on the
Presidential question. After an ex-
tended and delightful interview, refer
ring mainly to national affairs, Sam
at last hanked VIM. with a straight
question as to his probable candidacy
In the event Sam and some other patri-
OTIS, Private Ddlzell, &C., would nomi-
nate him. Much to Sans surprise the
General promptly replied Il was born
a soldier, have lived soldier, and ex-
pect to die soldier We must regard
this as final-Sam does. Cabinet posi-
tionS and foreign missions, we would
say, Sam, are not always secured at
d first effort.
On Monday our police court had
rather damper thrown on it. a lad
named Kinenger was arrested for OBJ
Structing an officer while making an ar
rest, taken before Mayor McConaughey
and fined twenty dollars and costs. AS
soon as it was So announced, he flew
from the office door, ran to the river
and SWAN to Virginia. Rapid pursuit
was made via the bridge, but he made |
the rifle and escaped.
Al. Porter was also arrested by the
Marshall for not assisting him in ar
resting Conoway when called on, and
was fined twenty dollars and costs. |
That's right, Mr.. Mayor, let the eat
-o'-nine tails of the law be fearfully |
applied in all such cases.
Jimmy Sheldon, of Etnavlle, was
playing leap-frog some days ago. jim
my don't play just now-his shoulder |
being dislocated from his last per- T
formance.
The School Board desires publicly to
thank the noble little army of invasion,
under General Ross Alexander, at the
Spell for the very clever
donations of their share OF the pro-
,eeds towards purchasing an Organ for
The use of our public school. Thanks,
