eating Committee:
DEAR SIK:-Mr. W. X. White has been
under my professional treatment for the last
three weeks. having had u severe run of the
measles lie has recently taken cold, and
Is still confined to the house: and it wouId
not be prudent for him to venture out of doors
at pres' ut. Probably he may be able TO ride
to Augusta in the course of q week.
Yours very truly,
CHAs. A. COCHRAxE, NJ. ID.
The statement is followed by an affidavit
OF the facts above stated. given before a JUS
tice of the Peace.
Mr.. {. l.. McCleery was called by the
committee, and testified:
Yesterday afternoon I went 70 Winthrop
village and proceeded to Mr.. Whites house
in company with Mr.. Carleton, where l
found the house, as Mr.. Hale said. a regular
hospital. In the sitting-room was Mr.
Whites father in bed; in an adjoining room
was his mother; lying upon a lounge in the
sitting-rOom was his brother, and in another
room was Mr.. White himself Mr.. White
told me he had not been out fhis bed for three
days. lie was recovering from the measles
very nicely. but on accout of the shortness
of help. he was compelled to assist in
taking care Of the others. In this way he
took cold, and had come very near having
the lung fever. but would probably escape.
Mr.. Carleton stated that il matters continued
favorable, he thought that Mr.. White ~ould
be abe to be here in the course of week.
tee were DESTROYS of getting at their work as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Carleton replied that the committee
could not possibly be more anxious than Mr..
White himself. He did not believe any gen.
tleman was DESTROYS of driving the investiga-
ton in Mr.. Whites absence.
Mr.. ingalls,, of the committee, did not
that the investigation should not pro-
coed at all even if Mr. White were unable to
be present at any time. He was willing how
ever to grant any reasonable length of time.
Mr.. Carleton said that the proposition for
an indefinite pOstpOnement of the case
was not to be thought Of He only asked
that if it were possible Mr.. White should be
present to answer for himself, as he was de-
sirous of doing.
Two witnesses who were present were no.
tilted to appear in one week.
The committee then adjourned to Friday
afternoon of Rext week, at = o'clock, in the
Hall.

The store windows down town are gay with
valentines, both comic and sentimental. We
are glad TO announce vast change for. the
better Of late years in the comic valentine.
They are not so coarse as formerly; but
still there is room for improvement For
any one but a very young person to make
use of these is bad taste. and q violation OF
the rules Of Christian courtesy. The prettiest
among the latter class are ofmoderate dimen-
sions, and present tasteful combinations OF
violets and pansies in the background, upon
which are the panel for the picture and the
verse label, which is generally inscribed
with lines which run like the following:
violets are blue.
Loves eyes are bluer.
know, know.
Some mems hearts are true,
Maids. hearts are truer,
Ills SO, It's so.
This verse is quite popular this year, and
n vast improvement it is over:
ffyou love me
As love you,
No knife shall cut
Our love In two.

American manufacturers is the gray card up
