Or course we do not know what Stanford
was ten or dozen years ago, M we were
not here at the time, but from information
obtained through our citizens, we learn,
that, during the last decade, the town has
doubled in population, and almost doubled
in the number II dwelling and business
houses The North and South sides Of
Main Street, Lancaster and Depot Streets,
and every other street in the town, have,
during tho last ten years, been built up,
and now present a nice appearance. Our
streets have been made firm, the sidewalks
paved, Churches aud Colleges built, the
Court House aud Jail built anew, and the
old residents who went away years ago,
would not recognize il now, as their former
home.

SCARCITY OF MONEY.

There is no doubt but the present situa-
ton of all kinds of business and industry
is fearfully depressed, and it behooves
every family to look carefully to their ex-
penses. Winter is coming on when child
rem are liable to Group, WhOoping Cough,
etc. Coughs and Colds will prevail every
where, and Consumption with other
Throat and Lung disease will carry off
many. These diseases should not be neg
lected, Doctor Bills are expensive, and we
would advise our people to use BoscHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP. 1t never has failed.
One bottle at IS cents will keep your
whole family well during the winter.
Two doses will relieve any case. Sold in
all towns in the United States, and by
your Druggists, II. w. Clifford, and
w. II. Nugent.

MAHAsKA is no SLOUGH, as the figures
show, when 1882 majority for Hayes and
Wheeler are counted out This is feath-
er in the cap of the active, earnest and
judicious young chairman of the County
Central Committee, JNo. A. HOFFMAN, who
has labored early and late to bring about a
grand success, and he has it. To the Re-
publicans, true and tried in every town
ship, the plaudit "well done, good and
faithful, is more than deserved, and your
glorious victory is one of which you should
be proud. A gain over last year of 9O6,
and nearly 200 more than the county ecer
gave before. The highest majority be-
fore was in 1872, when Democrats would
not turn OFT on account of Greeley being
candidate. Then the majority was 1857.
Again, we say, all have done nobly, grand
ly, gloriously.

Il. Presnall of this county handed us
copy of the Newcastle, Qnd) Courier, con-
tanning an account of the murder of his
nephew, Charles Presnall, at that place,
election night. Young Presnall was
Republican, and a Democrat named John
Runyan, whose blood was up and no doubt
feeling he was with his Kukluk friends
South, drew a revolver and shot young
Presnall without word passing between
them. 1t was one of the worst unprovoked
murders we ever read of, and lynching
would be too good for such a demon. Our
Mr.. Presnall and wife left the murdered
mans house only the day before, he being
the last of their relatives they saw. The
Courier says: "The murdered man was
honest and industrious and respected by all
who knew him. He leaves a young wife
and numerous relatives to mourn his un-
timely taking off. The murder was most
foul and unprovoked."
