Valentines day is coming. What with
Christmas cards, New Years cards, Eas-
ter cards and birthday cards, it seems as
if it was St. Valentines day all the year
round. But this sort of thing helps the
rag business and the paper mills and
thus sentimentalism pays tribute to hon
est industry.
The chronological Journal" for Feb
ruary has been received and an excel

the journal, and it should be in every
family. Fowler & Wells, publishers, 753

Jefferson would live to see 100 years in
this country.

1t is said that our neighboring village
of Camden is receiving a tremendous re-
Ggious shaking up. There are several
fellows down there who owe us consid-
cradle on subscription, that we would
be pleased to hear that the Lord had
grabbed by the nape of the neck and
shook them into a promise of liquidating

There are a great many persons who
do not e to understand the right of
way on the street. They should always
keep to the right, and when two or more
are together they have no right to mo-
nopolize all the pavement or crossing,
forcing those whom they meet or who de-
sire TO pass them, into the street. Cour-
tesy on the street is one of the best evil
dences of good breeding.

The custom of wearing mourning ex-
cept for the nearest relatives, is evident
ly on the decline. In many families
where, a few years ago its adoption would
have been considered imperative, it is
now not worn at all. In England, also,
mourning is going out of fashion; a
widows bereavement being the only
which society considers necessary to
symbolic by wearing Grape.
Careless parents who lock their chill
dren in the house and go away, leaving
them to the pleasant pastime of playing
with matches or raking out the kitchen
fire, with the usual result, will receive a
summary check, if Assembly Prices lit

ture. 1t makes such heedlessness a mis-
%demeanor, punishable with imprison-
ment from 80 TOGO days in the county
jail.

At the present term of our Court David
Bonner was indicted, tried and convicted
and fined for carrying concealed wea-
pons, and fer committing an assault up
on Mr.. Emil Dahlheimer, who for three
or four weeks past had been conducting
an auction sale of jewelry in Fishers
building. On Wednesday of last week
Bonner swore out a warrant and had
Dahlheimer and his two clerks, Clawson
and Hawkins arrested, charging Dahl
heimer with an assault upon him, Claw
son with carrying concealed weapons and
Hawkins with Intentionally but with
out malice pointing a revolver at Bon
ner. The charge against T. w. Hawk
ms was first heard before ]. R. Stephen,
J. P, who after hearing the case bound
Hawkins over in the sum of 500 to ap-
pear at the next term of Court. The
charges against Dahlheimer and Claw
son were withdrawn and they were dis
charged from arrest without examina-
ton, it being apparent that the charges
were groundless. The facts as disclosed
= at the trial of Hawkins showed that Bon
ner had without sufficient cause or pro.
vocation drawn a revolver and thrust il
1 into the face of Dahlheimer, that Hawk
ms, his employee, seeing the act stepped
back and picked up their shooting in
strument which lay upon a shelf, walked
e forward to the front part of the room ant
g placed himself between Bonner anc

it in case of an emergency, and if neces

one else. Most of our citizens who wer
present at the preliminary examination
of Hawkins are of the opinion that Hawk
ms did what was right in going to tn
l. rescue and defense of his employer, tina
n his conduct was manly and that SOUR
Il Stephen made a mistake in binding hir
y over to Court, besides it was clearly AZ
or parent that the arrests were maliciou
and the affidavits filed by Bonner to g
even. We have no more interest in tn
lie matter than a feeling that all stranger
IN coming into our place on legitimate b.
siness should be treated friendly an
