Fairbanks Scales.

Mr.. Tenant of the Remington Sewing Ma
chine Office, northwest corner of the ssquare on
High street, has erected one of the finest and
best
49, Six Ton Fairbanks Scales
that we have seen in this country. The plat
form is % feet long, sufficient to weigh team
and load, which we deem the most correct way.
The double weigh beam and is nicely plated and
hung in bronzed iron standards set on heavy
black walnut sill with 1.-THE word Fairbanks"
on each side in gold letters, and this sill is placed
on large fiuted iron pillars, three feet from the
floor, all of which makes a neat and business
like appearance. while the weighing is as per-
feet as can be. Even pen-knife placed on the
platform 20 feet from the Office will raise the
beam. Mr.. Il. has had many years experience
in weighing, and farmers viii find il to their adj
vantage to patronize him. Printed tickets al
ways used and price only ten cents for single
load. tt
Mr.. Austin, the agent for the scale company,
Is stationed at 0skaloosa, and is having
splendid success, as men are all the while
setting Their; up over the country.

Murder,

The Ripley Bee of the I'D SAYS
that Mr.. John Blair, astove dealer
of that town, sold cook stove
short time ago to Mr. McAIillen Of
Dover, Ky, few miles below Rip
ley. The stove was put up and used
for two dyYs, when Mrs. MeMillen,
in cleaning out the bottom fue,
found package tightly wrapped IN
brown paper, which she was about
to throw into the fire, but Fortunate
ly lai | Is aside to show to her hus-
band when be should come in The
package proved to contain between
a quarter and half pound Of the
strongest artil lery powder-mueh
more powerful than common gun
powder, wrapped in manila paper,
and on the outside of this paper
about dozen percussion matches
w9re fastened When the mysteri- !
ous package was providsntially dis
covered, the paper was burned
through on one side until the pow
der could besphinly SEEM and the
ends. of two matches were charred
perfectly black! Had the ERE been
kindled again in the stove, it must
havebeenz zbiownst0 pieces and ali i'm
its vicinity billed or terribly injured. !
How the powder came there, orwhe
placed it there, are my steries not yet
found out, but it is to be hoped the
mi creant who thus deliberately
SOU sht to destroy life will be discov-
cred AMI made to pay the penalty
