Some ten days ago an old friend-Jacob
Whetsel, called on us, and we had friend
ly talk with him. He is now nearly Is
years of age. He came to Jackson county
in the year 1S16-the year the county was
organized, and with the exception Of
three years that he lived in Iowa, he has
been a resident of Milton township all of
the past 66 years. He has had a family of
eight children, five of whom are dead.
Recently he bought land two or three
miles north of town, and has removed
there He informed US that when he was
a boy he often went to Strong's grist mill,
on Salt Creek, where Mr.. Bierly now
lives. He said he and his father went to
the mill early one morning, and the mil
ler was at breakfast His father sent
him after the miller, who said he would
be at the mill as soon as he finished his
breakfast. The miller was white man
but the woman who was serving break
fast was black. He had never before
seen colored woman. She was making
biscuits, and he noticed that the insides
posed that the black had been rubbed of
with the dough. He went back to the
mill. Soon the miller came, and had g
large biscuit, well buttered, and handed il
to him. He refused, when his father tOlC
him to take it. He then took it, but ht
watched his opportunity and got out Of
the door and threw it away.

The North american Reoieao for Feb
ruary opens with symposium in which
six prominent theologians, representing
as many religious denominations, give
expression to their views upon the ques-
ton of the Revision of Creeds." Prof.
Alexander Winchell, in an article enti-
tied "The Experiment of Universal Suf-
frage," Institutes profound inquiry into
the essential conditions of stable popular
government, which he finds to be, sub
stantially, virtue and intelligence; but
these conditions, he maintains, are abso-
lutely unattainable under our existing po-
lltlcal system, where an electorate either
ignorant or vicious, or both, by the mere
force of superior numbers, practically
nulllfies the suffrages of the better and
wiser portion of the people, whose right
to control the government of the COM
monwealth is grounded in the very ma
ture of things. Bishop McQuaid writes
OF "The Decay of Professionalism" and in
essaying to prove his thesis, makes a very
adrolt use of the admissions of protestant
writer's. "The Political Situation" is the
joint title of two articles, the one by Ho-
| ratio Seymour, the other by Geo. s. Bout
well, who after their respective veiws
upon the causes of the recent overthrow
OF the Republican party. An article by
DIR. d. A. Sargent, on physical Educa-
ton in Colleges" treats subject of prime
Importance to the welfare of the youths
in our higher educational institutions.
Finally, there are two articles on "The
Standard Oil Company" Senator Camden
OF West Virginia defending that corpor-
alton against its assailants, and John C.
Welch setting forth the reasons for con-
demning it as a dangerous monopoly.

day, but there were many people in town.
Ripley Eubanks, of Liberty township,
called at our Office. He is operating a
saw mill near Harmon Bunn's. He is al
most crippled for the time being, by. a
very simple accident. He ran briar into
the forefnger of his right hand, got cold
in it, and has adisagreeable time of it.
Then came George w. Brown, late
county commissioner, Thomas j. Hughes,
who lives on the old homestead, near
where our father built his second log
cabin, about the year 1925. Many others
called at our office, but not a tenth as
many called on US as called at o. S. Mil
ler's store. From appearances, Miller
must have sold an immense amount OF
goods. No wonder. He has fine stock
of goods, cheap.

William H. Palmer died on Monday.
He was about 81 years of age. He was
living in Jackson wfnn we came here, 2s
years ago, and we have been quite inti-
mately acquainted with him ever since.
He was somewhat eccentric in some
things, but he was an agreeable, kind
neighbor, and true friend. In all our
dealings with him we found him to be an
honest man.
Mr.. Palmer raised respectable family,
and they are all grown. His wife sur
wives him,
