SIIver Wedding ofHr. and Mrs. j. 3. Kih'ebreH
Mr.. and Mrs. J. b. Killebrew,
than whom Montgomery county
has no more highly esteemed and
worthy citizens, celebrated their
silver wedding at their country res

the happy event the Nashville Ban
ner says:
Col. and Mrs. J. B. Killebrew
celebrated the twenty-fifth ami
versary of their marriage at their
delightful country residence, Dos
cobel," near GAINESVILLE, last night.
Only the intimate friends and rela-
tives of the family were present.
II was an interesting occasion. A
large number of handsome presents
were displayed in the parlors.
On the night of their marriage,
Just twenty-five years ago, Col. Kill
Hebrew placed a ring on the finger
of his wife with a wish" The
wish has never been told, and the
ring has never been removed from
Mrs. Killebrew's finger. Last night
he presented his wife with another
ring, as evidence of the renewal of
the vows made quarter OF cent
ury ago.
The presents consisted of silver
tea service, a dozen forks, a pair of
elegant butter bowls, silver bowl,
pitcher, soap dish, tea set, fruit
bowls, castor and many other beau
tiful and valuable gifts.
The occasion was one of great en-
jOyment to those present. The

while the older ones passed the eve
ming in reviving the past, which is
always more or less pleasant and
fascinating to all of us.
The friends Of Col. and Mrs. Kill
Hebrew join heartily in wishing
them happiness and prosperity
throughout the remainder of their
lives.

A HARp-UP editor in the far
away west speaks to his deliquent
subscribers in a way that is both
quaint and unmistakable. He says {:
"Dear gentle-hearted readers of
this pale-face sheet, ifyou find cross
bones and skull, with crest of me-
talic-buriaI casket, drawn in blood,
on the wrapper of your paper, you
will know that your subscription
has expired and that something has
got to be done, and there's no time
to monkey about it. Winter is up
on us, and our summer porous plas-
ter don't shed the chills worth
Shucks."

Harper's New Monthly Magazin,

Harper's New Monthly Magazine
for 1888.
This Magazine has been aptly styled
1.-THE Giant of the Monthlies."
Practically there is no limit to the
circulation or influence off Maya
zine like this, conducted in spiri t
SO broad and catholic, always vital
lied by the strongest impulse of
current thought and action. Har-
per's Magazine is the best Magazine
for the Home, never intruding ele-
ments of controversy, but brining
to the hearthstone the richest treas
ures of imagination and art. In
descriptive illustrated articles and
character sketches it is especially
rich. Its brilliant galaxy of contri-
butors is unequalled. Miss Wool
son, the author of ANNE" the
most original American novel ever
written, leads off with new story,
entitled For the Major" and Mr..
Charles Reade's series of short sto-
ries are part of the rare literary re-
past the publishers will lay before
their vast clientage in 1888. No
periodical issued at 81 can compare
with it. A volume is library in
itself,

by the Garfield Board of Audit were
as follows: DR.. Bliss $500, Ag-

Rayburn and Boynton $4,000 each,
Edison 5000. DIR. Bliss refuses to
accept the allowance of the com.

the business of it by eminent physi.

The Board of Mayor and Alder
men met in regular monthly session
on Wednesday evening last (the
time of meeting having been chang
ed from the first Monday in each
month to the first Wednesday night
in each month) at City Hall. The
regular monthly reports of the vari-
Gus city officers were read and ap-
proved, bills audited, and much
other routine business transacted.
The only business of especial public
interest was the regulation of the
hours of duty for the night and day
police. 1t seems that under an old
custom, rather. than any stated law
on the subject, the day officers were
in the habit of coming on duty
at sun-up in the morning and re-
manning until shutdown in the af-
ternoon, and the night officers not
until 8 O'Clock at night. This GUS
tom, as it will be seen, leaves the
city without any police protection
from shutdown until o'clock at
night, probably the most important
hours of the twenty-four when the
city should have police surveillance.
This matter was brought to the at
tention Of the Board, and on
Wednesday niohf thew DaSSad q 200
olution instructing the City Mar.
shall and Captain of Police to see
that this intermission in the hours
of duty were filled by the force in
such manner as they thought best.
This order was passed preliminary
to an ordinance upon the subject to
be reported at the next meeting by
the police committee. Some of the
police will now be on duty at all
hours.

SIDNEY, O., Nov l2.-Few men have en-
deared themselves more to the people than
General Ben lie Fevre, Of Ohio, the great
champion Of the soldiers rights. To the well
fare of his late comrades every energy of his
soul seems TO be bent He is in constant re-
ceipt of testimonials Of esteem from the brave
boys TO whom he has 50 often and so cheerfuily
extended a helping hand & few days ago,
several hundred friends assembled at the farm
and residence Of the General to participate in
the hosting and presentation Of a beautiful
national flag and staff, by ex-soldiers of
the late war and the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie to him who occupied a large place in their
hearts. Bands OF music euivened the occasion
with stirring National airs. After the stat had
been ho.sted Captain c. W. Mckee Of the G.
A. c., ina neat and appropriate speech, made a
formal presentation of the flag. The Starry
banner was then sent mp 70 It's place amid the
hearty cheers Of the assemblage. General Lo
Fevre, in an eloquent response said " This is
the happiest moment Of NY life. Fifty years

me in lifes battle. This flag is the same en-
blem that Goated over our armies at Boston,
