PASTORAL CHANGE.-We regret to
learn that Rev. F. A. Marsh is about to
sever his pastoral relations in the Bap-
list Church of this city, and will preach
his farewell serman next Sabbath. The
inability of the society to guarantee him
a salary adequate to the proper support
of his family, is the principal cause of
the change. Mr.. Marsh has had flatter-
ing calls to take charge of other church.

as favorable and the compensation better
adapted to his needs than his present
field. We have not been informed which
of these offers he has determined to ac-
cept; but wherever he goes, he will he

brethren of the church, and the cordial
good will of our entire community to

A LITTLE PLOT FRUSTRATED Sheriff
Van Orsdoll has troublesome boarder
in the person of Mcbride, the fellow in
durance vile for Il savage assault upon o.
c. Searls Il few montl ago. Mcbride
has chronic disposition to get away
from the restraining influences with which
this once, and only by good deal of
trouble and patient tracing did the Sheriff
succeed in again getting his hands on him.
He is still signing for sweet liberty, and
taxing his ingenuity to attain it. Tues
day morning. Sheriff Van Orsdoll discov-
cred that Mcbride had in his possession u
rude lead key that would unlock the in
ner door of the Jail. Investigation show
ed that he had collected scraps of lead
from the gratings of the windows, which,
first having made mould of key with
knife in the bottom of chair, he melt
ed in the fire shovel, and ran into the
mold. This he fashioned with knife,
SO that 1t would unlock the inside door.
The outer door, yet barred his way to
freedom, and we presume he would have
attacked that difficulty, and in time sur
mounted it, but for the timely vigilance
of the officers of the Jail. Hcnceforth
his peculiar talent for breaking Jail will
haye less room for its exercise and it
may be predicted, that he will be on hand
when wanted by the court.

MANY and sore are the trials and veX-

been written of the way the diuin. ab7a

of spirit experienced by that literary

the suggestively romantic title, Under

its fitness for the Immortality of type to

THE value of advertising IS best attest
ed by those who have done the most of
it. A firm in Marshalltown who, during
the past year, have expended $1,000 in
advertising in the Times of that city, say
that they have made $1,000 clear profit
by so doing. 1t Is not expected that ev-
cry business firm will expend that amount
of money for advertising, but 1t is only
the part of prudence when dealer has
the goods to sell that he spare no reason

People expect now a-days to be informed
of special inducements to trade, and they
generally respond to a frequent and pres

Mr.. II. TREBoN. a German farmer, re-
siding in the southwest corner of Fair

during the past few weeks by fatal sick
ness in his family. On Wednesday OF
last week, he buried a son and daughter,
aged sixteen and fourteen respectively
and the remainder of his family, includ.
ing his wife and five children, were very
sick with the same disease and not cx,
pected to live. The disease seemed not
only to have baffled the skill of the ply
sicians. but also their knowledge as to its
character. 1t was probably the result of
some local cause, as it has not spread in
the neighbOrho0d.

In DEATH THEY WERE NOT DIVIDED
A venerable couple, the parents of Mr..
Nichols, of the firm of Mncklcr & Mich
OILS, of Fairbank, went to their long rest
last week almost simultaneously MIR.
Truman Nichols, aged IS years, expired
on Friday morning AT II O'Clock, and
twelve hours later, on Saturday. at II
O'Clock, A. NJ, the partner of his life pill
grimage, who was but few years his
junior, also bid adieu to the scenes of
earth, and went to join her faithful stay
and comfort in the land of the hereafter.
There is something peculiarly touching
and beautiful in the circumstance of this
aged pair, whose years had ran beyond
the usual allotment of human life, thus
going down hand in hand into the shad-
ow of the grave. They were buried to.
sether in one grave on Sunday, the funer-
al being one of the largest gatherings of
the kind ever held in the township Mr.
Nichols and his wife were much respect.

A Terrible Cough!

How often We hear the above remark
during these extreme changes of weather.
Colds, Coughs and Sore Threats were
never more prevalent among children
than now. Now We are going to urge
you to try remedy which has excited
comments by physicians all over the
country, who ack .:owledge their surprise
at the wonderful and happy results from
its use. That remedy is the well known
preparation, HALE'S COUGH CORDIAL.
Your own druggist, P. TABOR & Son, will
tell you that 1t is the best cough medicine
they ever sold and will warrant a cure
or return your money to you in case of a
failure after using one-half the bottle. 1t
is very pleasant to the taste, making it a
very desirable remedy for children.

The Conservative notes the fact that
this city has Il considerable amount of
dramatic talent, and suggests the idea of
utilizing 1t. We heartily endorse the
idea. A movement was made some time
since to organize a Dramatic Club, but
some reason it was allowed to drop. We
have a good Hall, scenery, talent, &c,
and why cannot our young people arrange
a dramatic entertainment. Such an eX-
hibitlon given for the benefit of the poor
