The destruction Of reaping ma
chimes by tramping communists in
Ohio and Indiana is getting to be Of
such frequent occurrence as to thor
oughly alarm the farmers, who fear
that it is the beginning of en- organ
lied crusade against agricultural ma-
chinery. Notices are nightly posted
about the rural districts, warning the
farmers who are in the midst of har-
vest against the use of patent rear>
ers. In return the farmers are post
ing notices warning the tramps that
any man who is caught burning their
barns or stacks or reapers will be
promptly shot. The number of reap
ers already reported destroyed is not
less than twenty or thirty. A few
of the more timid farmers are dis.
carding machines and cutting their
grain by hand. Most of them, how-
ever, will not heed the incendiary
notices, and will protect their pros

desires work can readily secure it

A SHOCKING DEATH. AT a pic
mic near New London, Conn, on the
4th of July, Mrs. Maxwell took
refuge from q storm under large
tree, which a moment later was
struck by tightening and shattered
to atoms, instantly killing the unfor>
tunate woman. Her clothing and
hair were entirely burned off, her
arms and legs scorched to crisp,
and her face and body horribly dis
figured and mutilated. The light>
ming which killed her also dug her
grave, for when the ball of fire ex
ploded it made hole six feet long
and two or three deep at her feet,
and into this excavation her remains
fell. A number of other persons
near by were thrown down, and two
ladies were paralyzed in their lower
limbs and unable to walk.

in his time, but mono that surpassed
Lester. So we sac not only the
yopng Democracy, but the old, both
Wing and Democrat, are coming to
the front, throwing up their hats as
in days of yore, for good government
and constitutional liberty, and are
determined to hold up--we had
come near saying the hands-his
one hand-one arm: The strong
right arm that unsheathed the
sword that flashed in the sunlight as
he led charge after charge upon the
foe in the late struggle for indepen-
dence, remains upon the distant bat
tleield, by the side of the fallen
braves of the sunny South, and
while the mothers and daughters
strew flowers over the little mound
that holds the right hand, the old
comrades that struggled through the
four years of that war will fly to the
aid of the fathers that were too old to
go into the struggle, and the broth
ers that have grown up since, and
Fold up the left that bears the ban
ner of Democracy in this struggle to
glorious victory on the 9th of Mo-
vember next. The right, that bore
the cleaning sword in defense of
Dixies' mothers and daughters was
no more gallant in war than the left
will now prove itself in defense of
civil and religious liberty"
