lover there " to make a brandy smash?
A friend out in the country wants
us to tell him how: it is about this Spir-
itual excitement and he will believe us
without making oath before Notary.
Well, this WAS the way, as near as we
can tell. ~ man came along to lecture.
lie carried small black carpet-bag
i'll which he had slowed away some ten
thousand legions of spirits. lie came
into the ADVANCE Office and turned
these spirits out on the floor. They
scrambled up and busted out through
the key-lole, the auger-llole in the floor,
the back window and every other way.
They covered the town as thick as grass
hoppers and sat on the park fence as
thick us June flies around a Toledo lamp
post. They got into all the cellars,
closets, cupboards, ETC., of the town.
Those disposed to be mischievous got
into the brains of some of our people
and possessed them. These obsessed
individuals just ranted, and raved, and
howled, and tore, and wanted to fight,
and said we were ruined by spiritual
| ''chcap labor" and the salaries Of the
ministers were in danger, and folks
would begin to think for themselves.
And the Journal man, he was taken
possession of by seven devils and flop
ped bigger summerset than he did
on the bond question, and then he was
controlled to write some demoniacal
communications and print them. AL
together the spirits made it lively for
the town. This is our version of the
matter and our friend can believe as
much Of it as he pleases.

Do you know that I think you have
treated the Journal admirably for some

ridicule, except in a few instances when
your indignation has flashed out at
some abuse of Professor and wife, or
of Mr.. Taylor and the Smiths. l have

A. O. Condo is making arrangements
to locate in the promising town of A,
drian. He will, in week or two, open
a lumber yard there and will join with
Capt. Wigham in buying grain. Mr..
G. informs US that they expect to mar
ket at least $1,000 bushels of grain at
Adrian this fall. The farmers about
there are now into the work up to their
eyes, and if the good weather lasts a
while longer, they will have their crop
all in stack. Worthington and Luz
verne will have to look to their lau-
rels, or Adrian will beat them all.

LIPPlNcoTT's MAGAZINE.

The illustrated papers in Lippincott's
Magazine for September are among the
Kabyles," by Edward C. Bruce. and "a
Paduan Holiday" by Charlotte Adams,
both we'll written and the latter very
bright and entertaining. An anony nous
article on Madame Patterson Bonsparte
is likely to attract much attention. 1t
is evidently the fruit of . personal init
macy with this remarkable woman, and
containes many anecdotes, extracts from
Letters and diaries, and other details
which will be found full of interest.
Mr.. Howard N. Jenkins recounts the
battle of Brandywine, apropos of its
hundredth anniversary, with topograph.
ical descriptions and other particulars
gathered by close investigation. There
is . short paper on "Our Blackbirds,"
and An amusing account of the Venetian
Carlo Gozzi. The stories
include "A Summer evenings Dream"
by Edward Bellamy; "A Great Day."
by Edmondo de Amicis; the conclusion
Of the Marquis of Lossie," and several
chapters of Mrs. Davis's new serial, "A
Law unto Herself;;" and there is the
usual variety ofpoems and miscellaneous
matter all combining to make . very
number.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.


No people in the world suffer as much
with dyspepsia as Americans. Although
years of experience in medicine had
failed to accomplish certain and sure
remedy for this disease and its effects,
such as Sour Stomach, eart-burn, Wa
ter-brash, Sick Headache, Costiveness,
Palpitation Of the Heart, Liver Com
plant, coming up of the food, low spir>
its, general debility, etc, yet since the
introduction of Green's August Flo,cer,
we believe there is no case of dyspepsia
that cannot be Immediately relieved.
80, 900 dozen bottles sold last year with
out one case Of failure reported. Go to
your druggist. JOHN FRANCIS, lola, and
get Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try
it. Two doses will relieve you. Regu-

The South Eastern Horticultural
Society of Kansas will hold its second
annual fruit fair at Neosho Falls on the
24th to the 18th of September. This
exhibition is in connection with the
Neosho Valley District Fair, the board
of this latter association giving the pom.
illogical department into the control of
the Board Of the South Eastern Horti.
cultural Society As it did last year.
Leading horticulturists of the northern
part of the State and officers Of the State
Horticultural Society will be present.
The display of fruit at the fair last year
was very fine and it 10 certain to be
equally Is good if not great deal bet
ter this year.

Among the officers to elect this fall
the three most important are the Com.
missioners. In the first district the gen.
tleman elected will serve for three years,
in the second for two and in the third
for one. One of the most thankless, yet
one Of the most important. Three good
men will conduct the affairs wisely aud
well. Three not so good will bring dis
aster upon the whole county. As yet we
have heard no name positively mentioned
for the Office in, this (second) district.
Perhaps it would be ss we'll for our citi.
liens to think over . few names and &C.
lect their choice before the convention
meets.
