team from Mr.. McPhersons farm collided
with his buggy. damaging it considerably.
The occupants however fortunately escap-

DELAY.-Rain and an unusual amount
of water in the ground has delayed the
workmen engaged in making the excava-
tons for the cisterns and connections, and
compelled them to stop work. The iron
piping has arrived and work will be re-
sumed as soon as the moisture will permit.
Reports from the east state that on Sun.
day night there was frost in the interior
river counties in New York, and at Stan.
ford, Delaware county, ice formed. Grow
ing crops, corn and buckwheat were some
what injured. 1t was quite cool in this vi
cinity on Saturday, but there was no frost.
THE CHnDREN.-Would it not be we'll
for parents to heed the many and oft re-
peated warnings against allowing children
! to play around the cars aud about moving
| trains. The inevitable accident will
come sooner or later, unless children are
restrained from going in such dangerous
places.
At meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of the Stevens Co. Agricultural Society,
held at the court house, last Saturday even.
ing, it was decided to hold the annual fair
on Friday and Saturday, September 18th
and 18th. This is sensible step on the
part of the Committee, the fairs usually
being held too late in the season.
DENTISTRY have much pleasure in

of DR.. c. E. Hale, which appears in this
issue. The doctor proposes making this

Artichoke Lake, who was in town yester.
day, we learn that the farmers in that vi

dred and fifty acres in the stack, and his
pIows hard at work turning over the stub

prophecies and says: 1.-THE heat will ex-
tend through the first half of Augusta
heat equal to that of July or exceeding it.
Some relief will be experienced through a
cool to cold term of frosts, which may be
expected bctw wen the 18th and Goth, and
then look out for heat again up to the Isl
of September.
WuoA.-Sheriff Landberg and couple
of ladies tried to earn our thanks by fur
nishing the usual weekly runaway" item
We don't mean to say that the parties tried
to run away, no indeed, the horse they
were driving did the get up and git part OF
the performance. The attempt was not a
signal success, SO to speak, but the effort
was laudable never the less.
Discussion 1t takes long time before
the political guns are trailed into position,
but at last, after much delay, the promised
discussion of the political issues of the day,
| has been definitely arranged. Mr.. j. E
Fuller authorizes US to say that he accepts
, Judge Bragg's challenge, and will meet
, him on Friday evening of next week, Aug
eth, at the court house, in this village.
FooLED.-Several of our prominent etc.
citizens, chained up their guns and loaded
up their dogs last Saturday, intending te

Monday morning. They did not go how
ever as the weather was damply moist or
the 10Th, and SO all their preparations
plans aud schemes were, as the parlimen
tartan said, indefinitely postponed fol
one week
A HINT We only wish there was some
way to lessen the number of candidates
but can think of no plan, unless perhap:
they were fitted out with lightning rods
This would possibly be "a sudden anG
painless death as could be, for lightning
is rather sudden in its movements, and the
rods would be sure to attact the fluid o.
: course, we do not insist on the adoption Of
; this plan, We simply offer it as sugges
t ton.
bitches WANTED.-Thas new bridge, OF
8 the Glenwood road, is decided improve
j. ment over the old ramshackle affair which
it replaced, but the eastern approach is il
. sad reed of being ditched on each side o
the road to the foot of the bluff. 1t is ne
. cessary that this be done at once, as it i
the only way to make good road at tina
point during wet weather. Ten dollar
will put in two necessary cuIverts at tn
branch roads, and also sink bitches. Nov

d that the charge went where it did instea
