Avoca Items.
From our own reporter.


July 22d, 1875.
Notwithstanding the warm weather
and short nights, usually so fatal to
such institutions, the Avcoa Literary
Society still continues to live and -four
ish. At the last meeting, held on
Tuesday evening, the question for de-
bate was
"Resolued, That intemperance has caused more
misery than war;
Thos. W. Parr was chief disputant
for the affirmative, supported by P. f.
Quinn, Smith Ashley, W. r. Irish,
Miss Mary Ashley, J. Fl. Franklin and
Miss Doru Eagleston. For the negative,
A. S, Frost was chief disputant, sup
ported by Geo. Parr, W. Ell. Pride,
John Murphy, Fred Eddy, Fl. P. Del
fish and 0. Z. Underwood.
The question was debated at some
length and with considerable veal on
both sides, and the judges--Messrs
Kollock, W. Fl. Swineheart, and E,
Observation-Disclosures duly weighing
the arguments, decided in favor of the
negative.
The Society is possessed of an ex-
cellent'choir, whose singing interspersed
among the exercises, adds much to the
interest of the meetings.
a reaper trial took place on Friday,
July 10th, at the farm of B. Gabler,
Esq, in Pulaski, between the "Buck-
eye" and John p. Manney ''new two
wheel machine" Mr.. Gabler gave
the "Manney the following advantages
over the Buckeye" Lighter, draft,
no weight on horses necks, laying the
bundle better, turning better and squa r
er corners and no side draft whatever,
and says it can't be beat as mower.
Yet through the energy of the
agents of the Buckeye" and the rep
utation and favor tn eBuckeye has
acquired, Mr., Gabler takes the Buck
eye.

Is Your Life Worth Ten Cents?
Sickness prevails everywhere, and ev-
erybody complains Of some disease during
their life. When sick. the object is to
get well; now we say plainly that no per-

Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and its effects
such as Indigestion, Costiveness, Sick
Headache, Sour Stomach, Heart burn,
Palpitation of the Heart, Depressed Spirits,
Biliousness, &C., can take GREEN'S AU-

R9%On last Saturday night, as
Joseph Mitchell, Sr., of this town, was
returning home from the village, his
team got from under his control and
ran away, throwing him out of the
wagon and tramping him, the wagon
also passing over him. He was pickle d
up in an insensible condition by two
men who came along the road shortly
after him, and conveyed to his home,
when it was discovered that he had re-
ceived very serious injuries, among
other things his skull being broken in
two places. Dr.Cutler was called, and
under his skillful treatment, we are

Love Among the Old Folks

On Wednesday, night,as couple of
old citizens of Dodgeville, MIR. r. and
Mr.. C.-the former a happy family
man, the latter a lonesome widower-
were returning to their respective
places Of abode, Mr.. G. expatiated
at length upon his forlorn condition,
with emo one to love-" and all that,
when Mr.. r. suggested to him that he
ought to get married, and told him he
believed certain widow lady then
living in his family, with whom G. was
well acquaint, would have him if he
would ask her. Q. expressed his
doubts, but declared if she would ac-
cept him he'd marry her that night.
The idea being suggested, the two set
about carrying it into effect with all
the enthusiasm Of youth. Rs resiss
dence was sought, his wife aroused
from her peaceful slumbers and re-
quested to call Mrs. W., who present
ly appearing, Mr. G. cloquently un-
folded the tale of his undying atfec-
ton for her, setting forth with much
pathos his present lonely condition,
and portraying in glowing colors the
advantages which would result to
both from an union Of their lives.
We have no synopsis of what Mrs,
W. said but it is sufficient to know that
C.'s eloquence was triumphant, as in a
few minutes the host was dispatched
for Squire Northey, and ere the hour
Of one o'clock on Thursday morning
the lonely widow and disconsolate
widower were again made happy, aud
having received the congratulations
of the few friends present, took them
selves to their own home, once more to
enter upon the stern realities and
heavenly joys Of married life, of
which may they have many happy
years.

man whom she knew intimately and
asked him for penny. He gave her q
twenty note and told her not to
spend it all in candy, without once sus-
pecting that she was Miss ---, whom he
was going to take to the opera that very

only change she made in her face was TO
comb her hair straight back and put a
dull sort of halfwitted expression into
her face. One of the other ladies wore
ragged veil, and the other merely
combed her hair down over her temples

females were three of the pTettiest and

Their acting was perfect and would do
credit to the stage. They say that no
one can imagine what a strange sensa-
ton it was to feel that they were of no
consequence. They could walk along as
they pleased, sit down on step when
they got tired and feel no more concern
than any old washerwoman. No one
paid the slightest attention to them, and
they felt as independent as beggars.

Death OF the King OF SmOkers-HIs
Curious Will.

Mr.. Kaleas, who was known among his
acquaintance by the name of the King
of Smokers, has just died near Rotter-
dam. He had erected mansion, one
portion of which was devoted to the ar
rangement of collection of pipes &C.
cording to their nationality and chrome
logical order. A few days before his
death he summoned his lawyer and made
his will, in which he directed that all the
smokers of the country should be invited
to the funeral and that each should be
presented with ten pounds of tobacco and
two Dutch pipes of newest fashion, on
which should be engraved the name,
arms and date of the decease of the
testator. He requested all his relatives,
friends and funeral guests to be careful
to keep their pipes alight during the flu
neral ceremonies, after which they should
empty the ashes from their pipes on the
coffin. The poor of the neighbOrhood
who attended to his last wishes we're to
receive annually, on the anniversary of
his death, ten pounds of tobacco and
small cask of good beer. He desired that
his oak coffin should be lined with the
cedar of his old Havana-cigar boxes and
that q box of French capsOral and
packet Of old Dutch tobacco should be
placed at the foot of his coffin. His ia
vorite pipe was to be placed at his side,
along with box of matches, flint and
steel and some finder, as he said there
was no knowing what might happen. A
correct calculator has made out that Mr..
Kaleas had, during his eighty years of
life, smoked more than four tons of to-
bacco and had drank about 500, 900 quarts
of beer.-7roy IN. ~ Times.
