Nov. sth.-The heaviest ram storm
of the season occurred on the fifth inst.
causing high water in the streams.
Some sickness is reported, chiefly o
amalarial type.
Mr.. William Elmore who has beer
abroad for some time past, has return
ed to his native heath apparently ii
good health.
Mr. and Mrs. Rice of Hurdland who
have been visiting relatives in some o.
the western counties of this state this
fall, returned on the 4th inst. Mr.
Rice reports fine crops of wheat and
corn in the section where they visited
and the farmers nearly all prosperous
and wealthy.
Duck shooting has been the CHIEF
amusement for the boys for some time
past. The roar Of the shot gun and
old United States musket made music
fiom morning till night. II the Fenians
had the powder that has been expend-
ed at the web-footed tribe they could
make internal machines enough to blow
London out Of existence.
Work upon the new church in Will
son township is still in progress. If
possible it will be completed and ready
for use by the coming winter.
The usual quiet among the denizens
Of Southeast Adair was broken by a
railroad surveying party passing
through our midst on the sd inst. The
new survey runs from northeast to
southwest and crosses the Q. M. & P.
road between Hurdland and Brashear
and passes through some of the finest
farming country IN southeast Adair.
The road has not been built yet; nor
has the rolling stock been put on the
track, but if talk goes for any thing
this country will soon resound with
the shrek of the locomotive and the
iron horse with fiery breath will be
rushing by. and we are to have a town
near the Union school house that will
lay Kirksville in the shade.
The continued rains which have rem.
dered the roads well nigh impossible ,
in places seem to be over and the usual
-ush OF business which characterizes
his part of the country has been re- ,
'umed. FAIR PLAY.

ings and the unwise efforts to drive
the masses Of the party, against their
will, has receded and left affairs about
in their usual status. New York in
stead Of beng democratic state. is
fighting ground, with the chances
largely on the side ofthe Republicans;
Pennsylvania takes her old stand as
sol,dly republican. while Massachusetts,
does the same, and buries Butlerism
and the democratic party in the same
grave. As 10 Ohio, local issues and
local influences this year have given
her over to the democracy, but their
tenure is Of the thinnest kind Of text.
ure and can but be of the briefest du-
ration. Ohio is, on any great national
issue, as firmly republican to-day as
ever, and with sound platform and a
good ticke, will cast her vote for the
republican nominees. Democracy
recognizes the changed situation as is
evidenced by the whitening ofso many
promising presidential buds on the
falling of the November snow-lakes.
The old ticket of Tilden and Hen
dirk is about all that remains in place
of the Pendletons, the Clevelands, the
Buffers, and half a score of others
whose names were mentioned so prom.
inently two months ago. There seems
to be no room tor new party in the
near future. The two old parties will
again fight out their differences at the
polls and the chance for republican
success to-day Is far better than it was
during the months that preceded the
nomination and election of Garfield.

The Bitter Bell

The Boston Journal tells the following: Mr.
Horace Brown, respected citizen Of Topsham
now in his seventy-sfth year, relates some in
teresting anecdotes at times of his early expe-
rience in the land OF the Penobscot. He came
10 Bangor in 1886 for the first time, when the
g'eat land speculation was in prograss. 1t was
with great difficulty that he secured lodging,
for the hotels we're crowded with spectators
who had come to seek their fortunes by the
great river buying and selling lots and town
ships, many of which tracts existed only on
paper. He at last succeeded In finding quar-.
tiers at the Farmers Inn," which was situa-
ted somewhere in the vicinity Of what is now
the foot of State street. In the morning, Mr.
Brown remembers, the whole company oil
guests. some forty or fifty, were awakened by a
loud beli-ringing, and all soon proceeded to the
dining room. But before reaching that apart.
ment the were met by the landlord Joseph
Norton, who said: Gentlemen, this Is not the
breakfast bell, bot the bit,ers bell.
And while some went back to their rooms
the majority marched up to the bar and took a
hearty drink. When Mr.. Brown was fourteen
years of age he Joined the Martha Washing
Society" taking then temperance pledge
which be has kept inviolate ever since. Mr.
Brown went to Carol, then No. 8, second
range, north of Bingham, Penobscot Purchase,
and took up q lot coDtaini De 240 acres, almost
in the nesrt OF the wilderness then, there being
no good wagon road nearer than Lincoln, %
miles distant. Today 40 acres of this land IL ID
smooth as lawn, and in the midst of com.
paratively well settled country this old pioneer
lives life OF peace and plenty.
