NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 1.-The Demo
cratic Committee have received several
hundred afidayits from negroes and some
from Republican officials in Onacbita and
other Bull-nosed parishes, showing that
there WAS esceable and quiet election,
also the intimidation of negroes who
desired to vote the Democratic ticket
hu. did not do so from fear OF violence
from Republicans of their own color.
The Republican officials have counter
sfidsvits, in many cases showing vio-
lence and intimidation, while the Demo
Gratis have sworn that nothing OF the kind
existed. In all the Presidential Lou'si-
ana election muddles, the Republicans
have monopollzed the sfidsvi. business,

Eds. Tel.-Howard Chaffee, one of our
milk haulers, came near fatal accident
on Wednesday of last week. He descended
portion of the hill to the whey tank, but
was obliged to halt until his turn came.
While thus waiting, Daniel Parker drove
in behind Mr.. Ghaffee, when his pole strap
broke and let the pole of his wagon to the
ground. In Mr.. Chaffee's efforts to get out
of the way his wagon was overturned, with
Mr. Chaffee under it, and the cans went
rolling down the hill Mr.. Kingdom came
to the rescue, and actually prevented the
horses from running and injuring Mr.. G.
Damages were honorably repaired by Mr..
Parker, who will probably look well to his
pole straps hereafter, and take his turn at
the whey tank.
The cheese factory, run by Mr.. Kingdom,
is giving good satisfaction, and doing
good business-making 25 cheeses day.

Mr.. K. has just constructed model hog
pen, where four handsome shoats are in

plenty of pure whey.
A. NJ. Arnold, from Pennsylvania, has
just introduced one Of the best hay forks
and carriers that was ever put up. The
hay can be carried to any part of the barn
with perfect ease. One Of them has been
tested in COW barn Of Mr.. G. A. B. Pratt,
so feet long. The hay was carried over all
beams and placed at the will Of the direct
or. So well pleased was Mr.. P. with its
work, that thepurchase was made. It is
valuable contrivanee, which your farmers
having long barns, will no doubt have
chance to test.
There is some talk of moving in tie mat

be built, and at an early day.

rRUMBULL.

Eds. TeI.-We have had new sensa-
tion. Some time last month, young man
from the ''border" passing by one of our
school houses, and being under the sooth-
ing influence of Uncle Lewis's hard cider,
thought it would be fun-as he expressed
ito knock out few lights of glass. He
therefore began operations, but was inter
rupted by one of the neighbors, who inti-
mated that the States prison or the gallows
was about as light punishment as the law
would infict for such crime. He forth
with swore out warrant for the young
man, and the minions of the law were put
upon his track. After innumerable hair
breadth escapes and thrilling adventures,
the fugitive voluntarily placed himself
within the clutches of the law.
The offended law, through the medium
Of the august Justice, propounded the con-
undrum, "Guilty or not guiltyY' ''Not
guilty." came in scarcely audible tones
from the pallid lips of the terror-stricken
wretch who covered in the presence of
magisterial dignity. An audible groan ran
through the assembly at this temerity.
Immediately the magistrate proceeded to
try the case, and after hearing the evidence
against the prisoner, made this profound
remark: Notwithstanding it is the opin-
ion of some that I cannot try a States case,
and pGss final sentence, shall fine you
addressing the trembling victim-$15 and
the cost of prosecution; and you stand
committed until the same are paid. Off
Ger, look to your prisoner"
Meanwhile the culprit, after several at
temps, managed to articulate-'1-I sh-sh-
ant pay iti''
With the dignity becoming his high Of
fee, the magistrate at once sent him to the
lowest dungeon of the bastile at Jefferson.
But alasi the High Sheriff actually re-
fused to incareerate the outlaw; and the
Judge, after hearing the case, sent the
prisoner on his way rejoicing, without fine
or cost, merely remarking that '.A justice
of the peace has no right to try States's
case, and pass final sentence"
Now, the impudent wretch holds the
winning hand, and says as long as they
let him alone he will let them alone; but if
he is arrested again, he viii prosecute the
justice for false Imprisonment and oppres-
sion in Office. CT PIER.

Prospect SIRE 3. Tmprovement.


D. w. Haskell has begun the work Of
grading his side walk and terecing his lot
on the corner of Prospect and Station Sts.
The grading is done in accordance with
the surveys recently made for a uniform
grade between Station and Vine SITS. His
plan, already carried out on Station street,
Is in progress on Prospect street-that Of
teracing inside the fence. This gives the
house more commanding and handsome
appearance. The improvement is a decided
one, and we cannot but think that the
street win also be greatly improved by the
general grading contemplated, though,
there is, we regret to hear, considerable op-
position to the work. Prospect street is
the principal avenue Of the village, and is
a fine one, and must at some time be re-
dneed to a uniform grade. The step pro-
posed is, we suppose, but the beginning of
such work. If it has been entered upon
with the view ofbeing carried out at no dis
tant day to the corporation limits, it seems
as if opposition should not be indulged
without thought and deliberation.

speaker. He had the satisfaction of ad-

on each occasion.
Amasa Peck, to whom was awarded the

ship-plank. He has shipped about 1SO, 600

considering the light fall of snow and poor

We notice that the Morgan correspond
ent Of the Geneva Times of recent date,
speaks of the good roads in Rome, under
the supervision of G. Il. Crosby, Esq. We
regard Mr.. Crosby as the best road super
visor we ever knew. He understands just
what is needed on our clay soils, VIZ: to
keep open bitches, so that the water can
run OF freely; keeping in view the necessity
Of having the track just little crowning
in the centre, and wide enough so that at
least two teams can pass without any dan
ger Of collisions. We have seen so much
turnpikng- called-done-whic means
filing lot Of earth in the centre of the
rOad-bed, several feet high, and just wide
enough for one track, with a fine duck
pond on each side, and with such splendid
ruts, about axle deep, for two-thirds Of
each year. When will our people learn
common sense in the science of road-mak-
ing?
We visited the farm of J. R. Reeve,
few days since, to see his new method of
butter-making. He uses the Hardin Pat
ent Refrigerator, which reyerses the system
heretofore in use. The milk is strained in
to pals holding from ten to twenty quarts
each, with covers nicely fitted on each
pail, then placed in the refrigerator with
sufficient ice to keep the temperature be-
low so deg. In about forty hours the cream
is dipped off and churned. Judging from
what We could see, this is the cheapest,
eleanest and easiest method extant.

The Geneva Tines gives the following
Interesting bit q the early history Of Kings
vile:
The first to make settlement in North
Kingsyille were Roger Netsleton and Wal
ter Fobes, who came with their families in
the fail Of 1904 the former from Austin
hprR, where he lad prsfiouslv settled IN
1900, and the latter direct from New Eng
land. Forbes took mp 500 acres at this
point, and about the same amount in the
township Of Madison, designing thereby to
settle his I've children near him: Int At.
this date one, only, Of his deseendants-
Mrs. John Aerriman, Of the fourth qener-
ation--remains upon any part Of these
lands. The County IRnrmaFy farm and
the north village sre included in his Kings
vile purchase. he donated land to the
public for burial purposes, in which he was
the drst 70 BE buried, In thespring Of 1916.
Netflst0n bought about 800 aores adjoining
Forbes on the west, and continued on the
same up to his death In 1854, Hs was q
Presbyterian ef the Puritanic school, and
took the lead in organizing the first church
n the place, He Was regular il his attend-
RnQe az meetings, and was anxious that
etheFE should follow his example. His
wife, also, was quite particular 10 pepsre

On one occasion she had prepared chick

cook IN 'thsiF absence, but couple Of pass

and left q quarter df dollar in the pot.
On coming home from meeting, tired aud
hungry, IS ali good meeting folks do, and
finding the pot enptied Of It's good things,

sAYBROOK,


Eds. Tet.--The most important event Of
last week was the Ashtabula Co. s. S. Con
vention, which was held in the Congrega-
tional church, as noticed. The convention
was called to order on Tuesday at p. M,
by the President, Rev. D. L. Hickok. A
fair attendance was present at the opening,
but the number increased at each session
till the seating capacity of the church was
fairly tested-chairs being placed in the
aisles and vacant places, and then few
had to stand for want of seats. Over 100
delegates were present from different parts
OF the county, and our own people did as
well as any township where the convention
has heretofore been held.
Mr.. G. W. Waite led the singing, using
the Gospel Hymns, by Bliss and Sankey.
The opening hymn vas ''Hold the Fort"
and many Of the best pieces in the collec-
tion were sung at suitable intervals during
the sessions af the convention.
The address of welcome was delivered by
Rev. G. Dunmire, and was none too long
for the subject. Topic-What are the prac-
tical benefits Of our Sabbath-sohool Con-
ventions?
The discussion was opened by Rev. R.
F. Wheeler, and was followed by others
The central thought seemed to be, that the
advantages were in bringing Sunday-school
workers together to interchange ideas as to
the best method of carrying out the work.
Topic-Sacred Geography-its impor-
tance, and how TO teach it, by Rev. II. o..
johnson, was interesting and instructive.

for comfort. Subjeot-The Aim OF our
teaching;' Regeneration; What is itP How
