J. II. CIRCUIT lost very valuable COW last
week. She was found at the pasture with her
head and shoulders in the watering trough and
her neck broken. From marks and bruises on

tackled by some other animal while drinking
and sprang into the trough, where she caught
her horns and broke her neck.
THE Methodist camp meeting which held
| through last week was apparently quiet and
pleasant series of meetings, though the attend
ance was not large. There are rumors, how
ever, of gross immoralities of various kinds
much worse than have ever before been heard
since the grounds were opened Unless these
things can be prevented, the utility of such
meetings is doubtful, to say the least.
THERE is fine lot of horses on the fair
| ground in charge of Seth Jones. He now has
| ten, most of which he is training for speed,
| and several OF them can trot better than forty
| Probably the fastest one is " Surprise" who
can beat twenty when he feels like it, The
| Mortified horses are A. o. Smiths Hard.
| tack, +. 5. kimballs black mare and Den
ison's four-year-od black stallion. Drive VI
| there some day and you will see a sleek, hand.
| some lot of horses and receive kind attention
| from Mr. Jones.
THAT misfortune and disappointment are the
lot of mankind, Dr. Locklin is probably ready

proceeded to celebrate by going to the Lake tc
| camp out for a few days. Late in the forenoon
last Saturday he appeared on the street, blu,
| alas! how changed. His manly form was
bowed, his progress was slow and painful anc
| there was AN unconcealable limp attached t.
| his off leg. Being asked the cause of his al
| tered condition he explained that in takipl
| down the tent, the stool on which he was stand
ing tipped over causing him to fall heavily t
| tu6 grOunu anu tenu pole 1ell across his face
| sadly bruising his full, open countenance Thi,
| explanation is received by his friends who
hope that he will soon recover and not get int
| any such scrape again.
