few days looking for location suit
able for farming purposes. He has
about concluded to purchase a piece Of
land on the Helm tract and clear up
a farm. We hope he will not get out
Of the notion, as be comes we'll recon-
mended as q good citizen, and what is
more he's a straight Republican.
There is talk Of having a Christ
mas tree in the Presbyterian Church,
to be gotten up, we understand, by the
different Sunday Schools, and all
others who feel interested and care to
help the affair along. There is gener.
ally good deal of work connected
with the getting up of an affair like
this yet the pleasure and enjoyment it
affords the children is sufficient com
pensation for the trouble, and IL should
not be let drop. Children always look
back to occasions Of this kind as the
most pleasant Of their younger days.
-Messrs. Raisig and Blum have
just turned out new wagon, which
probably has no superior in this Sec
tion in point of workmanship, dura-
bility and finish. This is the second
heavy wagon this firm has turned out
lately, and from the praise they get
we judge they are equal if not superior
to any imported ones. This being the
case we don't see why parties should
send away from town for their wagons,
and particularly when they can be got
ch&per right here at home. Those
who expect soon to invest in new
wagon should call and inspect this
one.
Mr.. Robt Harkison, met with q
painful accident on Friday Of last
week. He was cutting logs in the
woods on Fork Run, near Newtown,
when tree in the act of falling
switched around in such way as to
strike him on the 'small of the back, I"
or in the short ribs, as it we're, giving
his spine severe wrench DR.. Blaine
was called, who administered all the
relief possible under the circumstances,
and Robert is now hobbling around
out doors, and will be able to go to
work shortly. The escape from dea tn
was narrow one and should serve to
make him very cautious in the future.
In another column will be found
the advertisement of the Western Ac.
cident and Relief Association" which
we hope our readers will take glance
at, and then consult Mr.. F. E. Mabie,
who will be in town a few days, as to
the particulars aad workings of the
institution In these times when acci-
dents are Of almost daily occurrence no
man should be without an accident
policy that will secure him from $500
to $25.00 per week indemnity, and
from $1,000 to $4,000 to his family
should death result from accident. The
Association which Mr.. Mabie represents
guarantees this. 1t is not like taking
stock in a concern represented by
: some stranger, but Mr. Mabie is we'll
I known here, and would have nothing
to do with any unreliable institution Of
the kind.
We give space this week to a
rather lengthy article in the shape OF
} an appeal for the sufferers of North
} western Kansas. Rev. Caruthers, the
writer, depicts the suffering condition
, of the immigrants and sets forth the
, causes thereof in such a reasonable
manner as to leave no doubt Of the
t truthfulness of his article, and the
> sufferers are certainly worthy Of and
should receive the aid of the more
, fortunate and prosperous in other sec
, tions. He is travelling in the interest
! of these people and has been the means
of obtaining considerable relief fol
, them. He spoke in the NJ. E. anC
Presbyterian Churches of this place oil
Sunday, aud left instructions as to how
and where to send clothing, &c. Those
of our citizens who have anything o.
the kind to spare can leave the same
, either at Robinson & Bonner's store
the Prothonotaries Office, or at S. H
