D. A, STARKwEATHER-ou older citizens all
remember D. A. Starkweather, who was regarded
in his day, one of the strong men of our County
Bar. He has served us as Prosecuting Attorney
Representative and Senator in the Legislature
Member of Congress, and Minister to Chilli Since
the war he has made his home with married
daughter residing in Tennessee. She died about
year ago. and her death was such a shock to Mr..
starkweather that it affected his mental and
physical health. And since the eventhe has been
gradually falling He has what is termed general
paralysis breaking down OF the physical system
and with it gradual loss of mind Last Sum-
mer he was brought North, accompanied by a
faithful colored servant, who IS constantly with
him, ready to give him every needed attention.
He is at present with his son n-law in Cleveland.

Notwithstanding the false and idle reports
which have been circulated, there is no use talk
ing about hard times in the line of boots and
shoes, while the invincible Andy Schwertner con-
tinues to supply his large trade. All the false and
foolish stories that can be set afoat cannot
frighten Andy from his solid base of operations
in SLEEPY Hollow" but on the contrary he will
cont nue. to sell stacks of boots, shoes, arctics,
slippers &c. over his counters, at prices that will
prove astonishing. He has now on hand large
and complete stock of the finest ready-made
boots and shoes, which he is able to offer at re-
markably low figures, and which he is rapidly
closing out, preparatory to filling up with a new
stock He also deals largely in custom made
goods, and as he employs none but the most expe-
rienced workmen, he can turn out the finest kind
of work, at prices that cannot be underrated. All
who wish to do the best they can for number

rawas street, two doors west of American Hotel

In these financially troublous times we cannot
be too careful in giving utterance to words that
may reflect on the standing of business men; ru-
morS and remarks jokipgly spoken spread like
the winds, and many times cause serious results
On last Saturday rumor that A. Schwertner, boot
and shoe dealer, had failed, was extensively cir
culated through the following simple manner
Mr.. Schwertner had gone to the country to attend
to some collections and at noon his clerk left for
dinner, leaving the store locked; little girl went
to the store and found it closed and asked young
man passing the cause of it, and the young man
thoughtlessly said, Another assignment" other
parties passing by heard it and thus the report
spread. Mr.. Schwertner heard of it on his return
and Immediately announced that he was "solid,'
and any having claims against him which they
were in fear of losing, only needed to present
them and he would put down the cash. Mr.
sChwertner is in as good standing as he ever was
if not better, and the idle report caused him con-
siderable trouble.

WE learn a reportto the effect that Hugh Miller
who formerly lived on his farm, on the east side
Of town, but who now makes his home near Can
ton, made rather bad "blunder" the other night
by getting inio the wrong bed. 1t appearshe has a
German named Buss living on his farm, and
night or two since he came down from Canton
and concluded to stop with his tenant over night.
He accordingly retired, but some time after he
became restless, and like Sir Alfred, thought his
couch did not become its dignifed occupant, and
sought more congenial place of repose. He
found it, but unfortunately (or perhaps he thought
fortunately it was occupied by the robust
figure of his tenants "schana- -matle" Undaunted
at this, and thinking no doubt there was room in
the bed for two was soon in possession of his
half-or perhaps four-ffths, This, however, did
not meet the approval of the chaSte damsel who
screamed "murder!" at the top OF her voice, and
which soon brought her enraged father to the
scene of action, who declared nothing but blood
or a receipt for two years rent would satisfy his
terrible craving for revenge We did not hear
how the case was settled, but guess there was no
blood shed,-ANidnce Leader.

mother two miles below town, left home this

from the main road, where it had been dragged
her person outraged, her vail twisted around her
neck and imbedded in the flesh, showing she had
been strangled to death. Marks of the fingers of
her murderer were also on her throat A tramp

SILENT MAN-Rather early the other morn
Ing Bob Mcclure was starting a fire In the stove
In Kinks cigar store, east basement OF the Court
House, he wasn't fairly awake, and as he was
shulling around the stove, a sad looking man en-
tered the store and walked across the room toward
the stove
Good morning, said Bob.
The man made no reply and never looked ND.
but walked past Bob and stared vacantly at a
lithograph on the wall.
Nice morning, isn't II? Little fresh though.
still the man uttered not word, but turned his
wild gaze from the lithograph and fastened Il on
Bob, and as he stood staring with his hands in his
pockets, Bob thought he detected look of in.
sanity in the mans eyes, and again tried to at
tract his attention
say this is pretty nice morning isn't It. Lit
tie cold though. Come from the country this
morningH
The man never needed, but moved step ortwo
nearer Bob and seemed to look wilder than ever:
then the young clerk began TO fear something
might happen, and stole carelessly toward big
club intending TO protect himself If II became
necessary the man moved upand scraped his boot
on the stove hearth.
Is there anything can do for you? asked Bob.
Dye want anything Want to see anybody Mr..
Kirk isn't here YET won't be here this forenoon.
Want any tobacco or a cigar?
The man made an uneasy move and Bob slid
behind the counter, and as he stood ready for a
combat, the man walked abstractedly past and
went out onto the street, Presently some one
came in, and Bob began to tell the story, describ-
ing the wld-eyed, crazy man. and before he was
half through his story the other party spoke up
and said:
Why, Bob, that man is deaf and dumb. And
then Bob saw it all and wished he had said
nothing.
