Death of 3. w. Hottinger.
BELEART, Dec. 18, 1875.

BELFART, Dec. Is, 1875.
We regret to inform you and the
readers of the News, of the death of
your correspondent ''Frank, " or Ben
jamin W. Hottinger, a very respecta-
BILE citizen of this vicinity, who has
been a reporter for your paper for
several years. He died on the 18th
inst. about o'clock, P. NJ. and on
the 18th q large audience assembled
at III. e. Church, where the funeral
discourse was preached by Rev. Mr..
Hunter, from the 18th verse of chap
ter xiii of 1st Corinthians. "For now
we see through a glass darkly, but
then face to face. Now 1 know in
part, but then shall 1 know even as
also I am known After the servi
ces the remains were followed to theil
last resting place, about half mile
northeast of this place, known as the
Coss Cemetery.
We deeply sympathize with his
bereaved wife and friends. We fee
that he will be missed among us, as
citizen, and as a correspondent; but
we trust that our small loss is his
great gain. JUNIOR

She seemed entirely self possessed,

Her remarks on Capital and La

and to mans natural wants, were
most excellent. She spoke unquali-

them as too radical, yetall admit that
her Lecture has had the effect to elic-

its remedies. P.

The only item oflocal interest that
we have to report, is the completion
Of the new Iron Bridge across White
oak, one mile north of Buford, which
event will have occurred ere this is in
print, no accident preventing. This
Bridge has proved to be q veritable
"Bridge Of Sighs," (not size) as the
contractors for the stone work man
aged to contract debts to the amount
of about eight hundred dollars, and
then skedaddled, and their creditors
are now sigh-ing for their money.
One of the company, a man by the
name of Hickey, sold his horse and
buggy to Mr. Fife, of Buford, for his
board bill, and then hired the same,
ostensibly for the purpose of going
to New Vienna, but instead of going
to Vienna he Lit out for Scioto coun-
ty, where he sold the property and
was enjoying himself upon the pro
ceeds, when Marshal Lyle of Hills
boro put in an appearance with a
warrant in his pocket, and prevailed
upon Mr.. Hickey to return to High
land, and he has been boarding with
Sheriff Pope ever since. ARGUS.

communication of Dec. 4th, ''by re-

he slightly misrepresents the facts
('by request2')
It's not our purpose to invite o
newspaper controversy, but to SIM
ply state the facts, leaving future dis
putes to conflict on the ball grounds,
if they so desire.
The score did stand 10 to 6 in the

represent it, 8 to 6.

In regard to their challenging for

As correspondent from this sec
ton of the country, I am under the
painful necessity of reporting some
of the most disgraceful conduct
that has ever been perpetrated in this
community.
Some four weeks ago, Mr.. b. G.
Cochran had fat hog stolen
Search was made, but no property
found.
Next, G. G. Ridings Esq, Justice
of the Peace in this tp- quiet, peace
able citizen and man much respect
ed by the people, was attacked on
the public highway by three rnfians,
who took advantage Of the darkness
of the night, and it was only by the
greatest effort on his part that he
escaped without serious injury.
Next, Mr.. jeff. Pagan had fat
hog stolen, worth some $50. The
houses of John Thomas and Marion
Fox were searched, the meat found,
the thieves arrested, confessed their
guilt an d were recognized in the sum
of $500 each, in default ofwhich they
were sent to jail.
Fourth and last, but not least, was
the case of the Township Trustees
against David Worman, In case of
bastardy, Sophia Haines, a poor half
witted girl, who is now a pauper IN
the County Infrmary, being the VIC
tim. The case was brought before
Esquire Ridings, Eli Shafer appear
ing for the Plaintiff and P. Savage Of
Brown CO. and George W. Martin
ESQ.,. for the defendant. The Justice
held the defendant for trial, on
bond of $500, in default of which he
was lodged in jail.
Health generally good, the people
in good spirits; hogs nearly all sold
at from $3.50 to 81 per hundred
gross, money plenty; times good
>sur new Grange Hall will be dedi-
Gated on Friday, JAN IA, 1876.
There will be a good dinner, good
speaking, and good time generally.
Come, every Granger.

Miss Raper's Temperance
Lecture.

The Lecture on Intemperance, its
causes and remedies, given in the
NJ. E. Church on the night of the 7th
of December, by Miss Anna V. Ra-
per, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, was
listened to by a large audience, not
withstanding the rain and wind.
The Lecture Room of the Church
was well filed, and the hearers were
generally well pleased with the speak
er's effort; though there were some
who dissented from some of her opin
ions.
Her schemes for legislating whis
ky, as beverage, out of the country
were evidently more theoretical thar
practical.
Her style of argument exhibited {

NEWMARKET, Dec. Is, 1875.

-@NO- AO1 LOfOs
Our town has been quite lively this
week in the 'moving" line. Mr.. Tho
mas McConnaughey and Esq. David
Milburn have recently s,capped real
estate. Thomas has gone back to
clod-6reakieg, and the Squire expects
to sell goods at the stand formerly
occupied by Mr.. McC. As 'competi-
ton is the life of trade" we may ex-
pect enterprise to make a new start
in our town and community.
We have recently had three burials
in our graveyard. The first was
that of John Hunter, brother of Jas.
Hunter. one mile north of town. The
second was Mrs. Jennie Vance, wife
of Boyd Vance, of Fayette Co. The
third, Mrs. Ohio McCoppin, wife of
James McCoppin, and daughter OF
L. G. and Elizabeth VanWinkle. In
the midst of life we are in the midst
of death. The first two deaths were
quite sudden.
We were startled day before yes
terday morning by the report that
Mr.. Murphy, quitean old gentleman,
and one of the oldest citizens of our
town, had died suddenly. The re-
port proved to be unfounded, as he
was only in a semi-conscious state
for few hours, from paralysis of the
brain and spine. He has so far re-
covered as to be able to sit up good
deal, but cannot be considered safe.
as this is the second attack he has
had. NEB.

Measuring by inches is not a fair
way to get at the contents-other-
wise what is called the reading mat,
ter-of a paper. But the correct
way, as every printer knows, is to
measure by "ems." The Gazette
contains as many "ems' of general
reading, that is, as much miseella-
neous and news matter, as the News.
At any rate, the difference is slight.
There was no need of the News MAX
ing the comparison it did in order to
establish that its rate of subscription
is none too high. The fact is, its rates
are low enough, and the Gazette's 8
are too low. Like the News, its rate
of subscription should be $500.
We shall put it at that one of these
days Gazette.
The editor of the Gazette is mis-
taken when he says that the Gazette
contains as many ''ems" of general
reading as the News" The princi-
pal part of the reading matter in both
papers is set in type of the same
size, the Gazette's "outside" and our
''inside" pages being printed at the
same office. The type we use for
reading matter on the side we print
at home is a size larger than that
which the Gazette uses, ours being
Long Primer and the Gazette's Bour.
geois. The difference between them
is very slight, as every printer knows,
and it is more than offset by the fact
that nearly all the reading matter in
the Gazette's "outside" is leaded
while nearly all the reading matter
on our ''inside' is solid.
We agree with the Gazette that its
subscription price is too low. Il
ought to be 50 at least, to single sub
scribers. No county paper as large
as the Gazette can be afforded fol
less, and yield any profit to the pub
Usher.

Notes of a Trip to South
Eastern KansSS.

Mr.. BoARDMAN-Sir: By your per-
mission, I will give your readers a
brief sketch of recent trip to the
great Southwest, or more particular
ly to Southeastern Kansas.
Allow me to pass over the route,
which has been so often described, to
Wichita, the present terminus of the
southern branch of the A., T. & S. F.
R. R., and the county-seat of Sedg-
wick county.
Situated as it is, in the valley of
| Arkansas river, it becomes at once
the commercial. center of rich a2ri,;
cultural district, as evinced by It's
fourishing condition. Though but
fve-year-old, it has attained the
magnitude of third class city.
It was late at night when we land
ed here. Taking rooms at the Occi-
dental Hotel, we could but wonder,
as we sleepily trod its long halls and
winding passages, what they could
want with such mammoth hotel, as
we supposed, on the frontiers; but
when morning greeted us we could
understand the propriety of it. We
found all the industries represented
here, and as early as 7 o'clock A. NJ.
the streets filing up with wagons Ia
den with the products of No. ag-
ricultural district. They came from
North and South, mostly laden with
wheat, and drawn by teams of rather
a cosmopolitan order-horse teams,
horse and mule, horse, mule and Tex
as cattle, but all in harmony, bring
ing to market the products of the in
dustrious husbandman.
Our curiosity was at once excited,
to see from whence proceeded all this
wealth of Mother Earth, and as the
stage for the South was about start
ing, we mounted the seat by the dri-
yer, which enabled US to have a good
view of the country through which
we were to travel. We passed down
the valley and over the river to Belle
Plain, thence to Wellington, the
county seat of Sumner county.
AS we proceeded southwark, the
country became richer and more beau
tiful at every stage. The Nenescah,
Chikaskia, Cowskin and Slate creeks,
flowing through Sumner from N. W.
to S. E., complete system of drain
age unsurpassed by any country, not
leaving a slough, pond, or stagnant
pool of water in the county. Add to
this pure, bracing atmosphere, en-
tirely exempt from malaria, removing
from you all stupor, unfettering the
life-current, ndallowing it to run so
smoothly that even age is renewed
and youth fully developed.
Sumner county has the elements
of unbounded wealth. This year she
produced EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
BUSHELS OF WHEAT, besides Corn and
vegetables in abundance. With her
fine climate, soil and water, governed
and controlled as she is, by an indus
trious and intelligent class of citi-
zens, she is destined soon to take
front seat

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
AS dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and
I consider it the BEST PREPARATION
