Hon GEoRGE w. GRIFFIN, late Ameri,
can consul at the Samoan islands, has
been transferred IN the same CAPACITY
to the F1is, probably at his own re-,
quest. Mr.. Griffin by no fault of his,
we think, has been constantly in hot
water at Samoa, and even if the Fiiians
should occasionally propose to eat him.
the change of location must be agrees
able. There is some reason 10 belieye
that the British government has already
seized the Samoan islands, and Mamoa,
the Samoan ambassador who has lust
left Washington for Apia, after having
concluded commercial treaty with our
government, may very possibly find the
British flag flying over the islands and
a British governor installed at Apia.

with cherries and grapes.

There are now five brass bands in

The corporate authorities intend
laying a double plank walk all the
way on every street in town. We
heard the town marshal say the other
day that the Onl y trouble about the
new walks was that every man in

like the mischief if he didn't get 'em.
We learn that the Rev. Abner f.
Cooper, cf McLemoresville, is again
preaching that the millennium is near
at hand. If we are correctly inform
ed, he gets his idea from chapter in
Revelations, where a war between
four angels is spoken, after which
there comes sweet peace to the earth.
He says the four great powers about
to engage in war in Europe tipify the
angels, and when that war shall end
the millennium will be at hand. He
prophesies that event will occur be-
tween now and 1890.

Our Little bonanza.

Over thirty-one thousand quarts of
strawberries had been shipped from
here uptolast evening, and we are not
near through yet. The crop is short,
on accountof recent rains. but we think
it willrun about fifteen hundred quarts
to the acre-clearing say $3.50 to
each acre. The Central road has put
on a fruit train since our last, and
carries fruit at seventy-fve cents per
hundred pounds to Chicago. putting
it on the market as soon as if shipped
by Express. This will be saving
of one dollar and twenty-five cents
per hundred pounds-about one and
ole>fourth cents per quart. At the
close of the season we will give figures

Painful Accidents.

Last Friday while working with a
stallion, Mr. R. B. Shepherd fell, pull

very painfully hurt, having his left
collar bone and two or three ribs in

the damage viii not be fatal.
On the same day little daughter
of Mr. G.. P. Haun met with a severe
accident by a window sash falling on
her left hand, crushing the bones ter

Accidentally Killed.


Editor Exchange:
On Sunday morning Mr. Horace
Bratcher, who lives ten miles west of
Milan, between Humboldt and Eldad,
was shot and killed accidentally by a
gun in the hands of his brother, Frank
Bratcher. They had been fishing
nea: Moore & Kaufman's mill on Sat
urday and staid all night, and were
returning home, when Mr. Frank
Bratcher's gun was entangled in some
bushes and discharged, the load en-
tering Horace Bratcher's back and
coming out just below his heart, caus-
ing immediate death. Horace was
a good boy and leaves large number
of friends and acquaintance to NOUN
his loss. He was about twenty-five
years old, and, although he was cut
off just in the bloom of manhood, we
should submit to it as an act of Divine
Providence.

days work, with moderate "luck, l"
they went back to the train, expect

road trains are not always on time.
On account of a missed connection,
the work train laid there till late at
night. Becoming desperate, and
having an important engagement to
fill, one of them struck out afoot, but
arrived home very tired, muddy and
hungry, too late. The others started,
got lost, and arrived next morning
about five o'clock. The whole party
"enjoyed" fsherman's proverbial luck.
