THAT GRIP SACK.-Last Monday Mr..
Cleaver, acting agent at the A., T. & 8. F.
depot, proceeded up to the Sun office, and
informed the Wide-awake editor of that
lively sheet that frst-class item-a dead
child in a gr1p-sack-was at the depot.
HastiIyigrabbing handful of pencils and
q quire OF paper, the editor rushed down
to the depot chuckling over the fact that
the Sun gets out ahead every week. Ar
irving at the depot he found the agent and
his assistants holding their noses over the
mysterious grip-sack, which emitted q
terrific odor. None of them would open
the sack, and it was gently carried out,
and a tramp passing along on the track
was persuaded to open it. All gathered
around in dread expectancy of meeting a
horrible sight, and slowly but steadily
the tramp opened the bag, and
revealed a loaf of bread, piece of meat
and chunk of Lemberger cheese fast de-
caying, the smell becoming diabolical as
the sack was exposed to the atmosphere.
A general shout of his companions star
tled the Sun editor from his dream of hor-
rible infanticide, and with one hand to
his nose, and the other clutching wildly
at the balmy air, he disappeared from
view, and the Sun lost one OF the best
items it has had chance of securing. The
sack had been left at the depot by a
traveller.

THE BAPTIST FESTIVAL.-This affair,
Tuesday evening, was very well attended
and patr OniZed, and proved pleasant and
profitable. The church was handsomely
arranged, the walls decorated with flow
ers and fags, the table nicely furnished,
the flower, fruit and confectionery stands
very prettily gotten up, and every ar
rangement carefully attended to. An or
gan furnished instrumental and many
voices vocal music through the evening.
Every thing was lively and pleasant, the
lady walters kindly greeting both friends
and strangers, and the refreshments
abundant and Of the best quality. We
congratulate our Baptist friends on their
good arrangements and we trust satisfac-
tory financial results.

In Memoriam.

Central Lodge knights Of Honor, at its
regular meeting on Friday evening, May
oath, adopted the following preamble and
resolutions and requested their publiea-
ton in the papers of this city:
WHEREAS, The ranks of Central
Lodge No. 7S1 Knights of Honor have
been broken for the f1rst time, and one OF
our earliest and truest members been
stricken from his place by the irresistible
| hand of Death, and we desire 70 place
upon our records our sense Of the be
resvement our lodge and order has thus
sustained: therefore,
RESOLVED, That in the death OF breth-
er W. M. Wicks, this lodge and order los
| es a member whose shield OF honor has
| never been furnished by word or deed.
and whose memory will be cherished
| as that of an honest and honor able man. a
good and useful citizen. a true christian
in all the walks af life, faithful Knight
of Honor who died as he lived with faith
in God and love for his fellow men.
RESOLVED, That our grief for this great
| loss must be chastened by the considera-
| ton that the widow and orphan have suf-
ferFed the reatest OF all bereavements.
and that in rendering them our sympathy
and protection we can perform the most
| sacred duty to our deceased brother
which our order enjoins upon its men,
bers. May their sorrow be lightened by
Him whose Just and benencent rule all
must recognize, and who will in another
and eternal life permit them to again pos
sess the tender love and undying affection
Of the husband and father who there
awaits their coming.
ResoLued, May we contemplate this
vacant place in our ranks with q desire
to so follow the guidance of that true ana
manly life and knightly death which en-
dears the memory of our lamented COM
rade, that we may In the words Of the
venerable sage:
$50 live that when thy summons comes
to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To the pale realms of shade, where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death.
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at
night,
scourged to his dungeon, hut sustained
and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery Of his
couch
About him, and lies down TO pleasant
dreams

SMALL Pox AND RATTLEsNAKE BITES.
DIR. Gentry informs us that a certain
preventative of small pox even when
waiting on the sick, is to take tea spoon
full of apple vinegar three times a day
before each meal, and to sponge the whole
body each night with diluted vinegar
ous-half vinegar and one-hah water, and
rub dry. Also that cure for rattlesnake
bite, is to take one to two drops tincture
iodine, in little whisky or water, eve
ry hour, according to the severity of the
case. In extreme cases, four drops may
be given until the symptoms improve.

'tGIvE DAT ScHKEsE A CaANcR."-A
worthy German citizen OF Emporia who
used to keep n saloon, now keeps n groc-
cry store, and tries 20 accommodate all
his patrons. The other day some fellow
country-men called at his store, and
wanted some beer and Limburger cheese,
and Mr.. - took the money, and went
out and bought several bottles Of lager,
and some Limburger, and furnished it to
his patrons. They liked the beer, but
found fault with the cheese. The grocery
keeper stood up for the cheese, said he
had imported Limburger himself, knew
what 1t was, and that the sample was
good. But the customers insisted that II
was not good. 'Vell, vot Is de matter
init de scheese," finally demanded the
grOceryman, out Of temper. cit don't
smell like Lmburger,n was the answer.
by gOr'-yelled the storekeeper, sshusi
take your tam feet on de table, and give
dat scheese a ehAnee.'' This closed the
discussion, with the cheese ahead.

to enforce the ordinance published in an
