The most remarkable success in
mole hunting attended the efforts Of
an ex-printer, one day last week.
Those undermining pests had taken a
fancy to our friends potato patch, and
he in self defence determined on a war
of determination. By patient watch
ing and dexterity in the use of tho hoe,
he was rewarded in two hours by the
capture of twenty-three. He thinks
the prospects for "taters are better
than they were. Who can beat it?

Big Invention.

Lloyd, the famous map man, who
made all the maps for General Grant
and the Union army, certificates of
which he published, has just invented
a way of getting relief plate from
steel so as to print Lloyd's map of
American Continent-showing from
ocean to ocean-on one entire sheet of
bank note paper, 40x50 inches large,
on a lightning press, and colored,
sized and vanished for the wall
so as to stand washing, and mail
ing anywhere in the world 80 cents,
or unvarnlshed for 25 cents. This
map shows the whole United States
and Territories in a group, from sur
veys to 1876 with a million places on
it, such as towns, cities, villages, noun
tains, lakes, rivers, streams, gold
mines, railway stations, &c. This
map should be in every house. Send
30 cents to the Lloyd Map Company,
Philadelphia, and you will get a copy
by return mail.-[New York Illustra-

The New He'll.

The new bell for the M. L. Church,
came to hand last Wednesday, and now
hangs high in the bclfrey of that
institution. Talk about Independence
Hall and its famous bell of liberty;
but our citizens are prouder of their
reconstructed church edifce and its
new bell than the good people of the
Quaker city ever can be of that relic
Of the Revolution. Many were the
anxious cars bent TO catch the first
of metallic music that foated from its
iron tongue, and when at length the
clear rounded notes came swelling on
the balmy summer air, the hearts of
our worthy citizens went out to meet
the musical sound and each rejoiced in
having at least one object that is
credit to our village. 1t hangs now,
and long may its voice be heard calling
the wanderer home TO the path of duty
and bringing back to his delighted
mind the innocent days of his happy
childhood. when the peal of the old
village bell lent additional charms to
the happy hours passed in the grey old
church from which mayhap he has
parted forever; and long, long may its
brazen lips be hushed from sounding
that sad solemn dirgc which speaks of
the fate that awaiteth us all as dwellers
on this earthly sphere.

ONO must be the healthiest county
in the State, as she can boast of more
aged inhabitants than any of her sister
counties. On Saturday last We had the
pleasure of meeting on our streets Mr.
Alexander Nicholson, living ten miles
from town. Mr.. Nicholson is ninety
eight years old and looks hale and
hearty, and apparently is good for a
full score of years yet. He was q SOL
der of the war of 1912, and is now
drawing pensions for his services in
helping to make the British lion bite
the dust at that eventful period of our
national history. We are about to
publish a series of sketches of the
early pioneers of Ohio county, and
communications or information on this
subject will be thankfully received.

No PInce Like Homo.

Just twelve years ago, last Wednes-
day, James Hayes (col. left his old
master who lives in Grayson county,
to push his fortune among his free
colored brethren of the far South.
After going through the war a year
in the capacity of cook, James was
cast adrift in Savannah, and accord
ing to his own accounts had q hard
struggle for existence. Last Wednes-
day, on the university of his leave
taking, james made his appearance at
the house of his former master, rag
ged sore of foot and hungry. He got
a hearty welcome from the family and
every kindness was shown to make
him feel that no anomosity for the past
existed in the minds ofany of the family.
James says he has often longed for the
good old times that's past, and now he
has got back to old Kentuck, he's 60
ing to stay there till he hangs up de
fiddle an de bow forever.

Natures Remedial Agents.

II Is said that for every disease that eff
fects suffering humanity, nature has pro>
vided remedy, and all that man has to
do is to discover these remedial agents
and apply them to their appropriate all
ments, These are mostly found in the
vegetable kingdom, and root, banks, herbs,
grains, and other simple and harmless in
gradients are more effective than any of
the mineral poisons used so freely by
many physicians. The celebrated DR..
RADCLIFFE, in the SEVEN SEALS OR GOLDEN
WONDER, has compounded a vegetable
remedy peculiarly adapted for a wide
range of diseases, combining as it does
tho curative properties of q great number
Of the most effective roots, herbs and
barks. For pains and aches it has never
been equaled.

unwillingly forced to omit it in this
issue. The writer records case of
unprovOked lynching at Brownwood,
which auctually dIsgraces' the Lone
Star State. The victim was a young
man named Reese, who had recently
moved from Highland, Ohio. Being
a sober, steady young man, no cause
can be assigned for his murder. H.
B. Marlborough, constable, w. S. Tut
tie, mayor, and David Breckenridge,
marshal, all of Brentwood, are charg-
ed as being implicated in the outrage,
and are now standing their trial with
all the evidence against them, and a
fair prospect for reaping the reward of
their lawlessness.

The District Conference of the NJ.
z. Church South was held in our town
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sun
day last, e. NJ. Grow, of Owensboro,
presiding elder. The district was
represented by the following named
ministers: DR.. J. 3. Cottrell, Owens

boro circuit; S. II. Lovelace, Haws-

circuit, and w. w. Cook, Hartford
circuit.
The opening address was delivered
or Thursday night by DR.. J. &. Cot
trell, and listened to by q large and ap-
prcciativc audience. The eloquence of
the Reverend Doctor on that occasion
far surpassed anything ever before
heard in our midst.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, the attendance was large,
and the meeting passed off pleasantly
to all.
In connection with the above we
would mention the Sunday School
mass meeting as part of the pro-
gramme. Goshen, No Creek, Liberty
and Hartford were well represented,
and it is due the teachers of the re-
spective schools to state that the train
ing and good conduct of the scholars
was credit to their efforts in q good
cause. The singing was admirable,
and many an aged heart beat respon-

youthful singers. Taking all together,
it was the most pleasant assemblage
that has convened in Hartford for q
number of years.

"My Mothers Cod"

At fashionable party a young physician
present spoke OF one of his patients, whose
case he considered a very critical one. lie
said he was "yery sorry to lose him, for he
was a noble young man, but very unneces-
sarily concerned about his soul, and Chris
tians increased his agitation by talking with
him aud praying for him. lie wished Chris
tians would let his patients alone. Death
was but an endless sleep, the religion Of
Christ a delusiou, and It's followers were not
persons Of the highest culture or iutelli-
gcnce."
\ young lady sitting near. and one OF the
gayest of that company, said: Pardon me,
doctor, but | cannot hear you talk thus and
remain silent. am not professor Of re-
hgion; ! never knew anything about it eN-
perimeutally, but my mother was a Chris
tian. Times without number she has taken
me to her room, and prayed that God would
give her grace to train me for the skies.
Two years ago my precious mother died. and
the religion She loved during life sustained
her in her DYING hour She called us TO the
bedside and, with face shining with glory
asked ms 10 meet her in heaven, and prom
ised 10 do So. And now" said the young
lady, displaying deep emotion, "can ! be-
heve that this is a delusion that mymother
sleeps an eternal sleep2 that she will never
waken again in the morning Of the resur
rection, and that shall see her no more z
No, ! cannot, ! will not believe it, Her
brother tried to quiet her for by this time
she had the attention OF all present No,
brother said She, let me alone. " must
defend my mothers God, my mother's re-
hgion."
The physician made no reply aud soon
left the room lie was found, shortly after
ward pacing the floor in an adjoining room,
in great agitation and distress of spirit.
"Oh," said he, that young lady is right.
Iler words have pierced my soul" And the
result Of the convictions thus awakened was
that both the young lady and the physician
were converted to Christ, and are useful and
influential members of the church Of God
Cheeripg Words.
