West Of the River.

Aug. 3O.-The farmers are busy pre-
pairing ground for wheat sowing.
Health is better since the rain; some
few, however, are yet complaining.
The new barn Mr.. George Eldridge
has built makes fine appearance.
Mr.. James Townsend has had new
residence put up in the place Of the one
he lost by fire few years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwell, of Illinois,
are visiting their daughter, Mrs. L.
Purdom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malcom's little boy,
Perry, was badly bitten on the foot by
a rattle snake Thursday last.
Some of the men on this side of the
river would do well to rememember
the lesson taught them by that lottery
man in lola last Saturday, even If it
did cost them five or six dollars. Ex-
perience is dear teacher.
Judging from the actions of some
men leaving town Saturday evening,
we think there must be place in lola
where "the crayther" can be procured.
On last Thursday evening Leslie,
son of John Black, about IL or IA years
of age, died very suddenly and strange
~. The facts, as near as we can learn
them, are as follows. He had been
sick but was improving very rapidly,
and Thursday evening he called for a
drink of water which was brought to
him by one of the family. Shortly
after his father went to him and found
him lying on his face. His heart only
making a few pulsations after being
discovered. The muscles of his face
and limbs were drawn as though. he
died of strangulation. Leslie was a
good boy and his loss is deeply felt by
his parents who have the sympathy Of
surrounding friends. OCCASIONAL.

Moran station.

August 31.-A light rain OH Monday
evening cooled the air somewhat.
Farmers are a little afraid to SOW
wheat on account of chinch bugs.

begin to pick their corn; it is light
crop with many farmers.
G. H. Requa moved his property to
Wears Station to-day.
A Mr.. Mitchell is the first man to
build and locate in Moran. He is 60
ing to engage in the lumber business.
There are men here every day hunt
ing locations. Why don't the Com
pany plat their town and give such a
chance to settle down at once.
Moran is the most important station
on the line of the st. Louis, Fl. Scott
& Wichita R. R., between Fl. Scott
and lola. For this reason Fair Lawn
(For Lorn) tried so very hard to get it
but on account of an unusual amount
of "timidity" and weakness" on the
part of the company they failed. Nov,
Mr.. "Pencil, "don't you know that the
company agreed to locate within one
mile of the point designated by a ma
jority Of the voters of the township, (if
not see Messrs. Northrup, Simpson,
Stevenson and others of Iola) and did
not your name count one to make that
number? Do you call it "timidity" to
do as you agree to do? Do you call it
weakness" to fulfill your promises !?
1 will venture that every honorable
man in Allen county will say the COM
pany did right in locating where they
did, and had they located at Fair
Lawn, our timidity would have pre-
vented us from shedding tears, not
even to mention the station would
make me shed if it was on the eve of
the departure of a friend. NIMRoD.

reader.
|. The Disciple Sunday School gave an
entertainment OH Saturday evening,
consisting of orations and destinations
by tho members of the school who have
been away to school during the past
Fall and are now home for the holiday
vacation. All, both ladies and gen.
tlenen, acquitted themselves very
creditably. After these exercises pres
ents were distributed to the children,
and all, both old and young, agreed
that it was good to be there.
The Disciple Church s. 8. held their
election of officers on Sunday last,
which resulted in the choice of Mr.
Charles Russell, Superintendent, and
Mrs. Elsie E. Hic' o. Assistant.
The Congregational Church are to
hold their Christmas at the residence
of Mr.. F. B. Cannon, on Wednesday
afternoon and evening of this week.

Editor of the Times The statements
recently published in your valuable
paper has created much excitement in
this among the class who own and use
horses, and after reading ysur. request
that all should write you who had been
benefited by the letter published from
DR.. Bates In regard to the remarkable
success he always had with KendaH's
Spain tsre, / decided to write you my
experience with it. My first knowl-
e.ige of this remedy came through a
visit to- the Office of the Massachusetts
Society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals. This society was the first
to use Kendall's SPAWN Cure in Boston
and was informed by Charles A.
Currier, a gentleman in whom had
the utmost confidence, that they had
never used anything that worked SO
we'll for spavins or any lameness in
horses, and he stated that he gave it to
poor men who had lame horses and
would agree to use it, and in this way
he was enabled to get along without
T..

after this 1 received q very severe inju-
ry to the knee joint and the high rec
ommendation which Mr.. Currier gave
Kendall's SPAWN cure gave me so
much confidence in it that I used it
for my knee, with the very best re-
suits, and sib6e that time my faith has
been so stroug in the merits of this
remedy that we will not be without it
in the house. I have tried it since
then for foot-rot, sore teats or warts OH
my COWS teats, also for a general lini-
ment in my family, and L sincerely
believe, with all thtse who have writ

good liniment for both man and

you will continue to give us more light
on this subject. L am II
