ing to the continued wet weather we
have come to the conclusion that par

tertained to that efect.-The Dufer

In "a suggestion to the Republi.
cans of the 25th district" published
in a recent issue of the Clarion Rrpatb.
6cdn. Gazette, the name Of Hon. Jas.
I. Mafett, one Of Clarion's leading
lawyers, is brought cut as a candidate
for Congress next year. Should the
nomination fall ON Mr.. Maffett the
Republicans Of the district would un-
dOubtsdly have q strong candidate,
aud one whom all could consistently
support. He was one of the Presi-
dental Electors in 1880. But it's q
long way off yet, and our county may
not be part of the 25th district in the
next election.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

We take pleasure in announcing
that we have perfected arrangements
with the publishers of the American
Farmer that enable as to club that
magazine with the FOREST REPUBLI-
CAN at the low price of $1.75 per year,
a trifle over the price of the REF UBLI-
CAN alone. This is beyond question
the first time that a reliable agricul-
tural paper has been offered at so cheap
price, and we trust all our subscribers
will avail themselves of this unusual
opportunity of securing a frst class
agricultural magazine. The Ameri-
can Farmer is beyond doubt worth
three times the price, at which we
plaes it. Try it. 1: is monthly
publication.

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

There are dangerous cOuntsrfsits in
circulation purporting to be "WalAut
Leaf Hair Restorer. The strongest
evidence of its great value is the fact
that parties knowing its great efficacy
try to initiate 1t. Each bottle Of the
genuine has a fac simiLe of a walnut
leaf blown in the glass; and Green
Leaf on the outside wrapper. The
"Restorer" is as harmless as water,
while it possesses all the properties
necessary to restore life vigor, growth
and color to the hair. Purchase only
from responsible parties. Ask your
druggist for it, Each bottle warranted.

on the floor. This building he had
been seen to enter on his way to the
barn the morning Ofhis disappearance.
Many years ago be left this section
and was gone nearly seven years, not
even his most intimate friends or
nearest relatives knowing his wherea-
bouts, and he was given up for dead.
During that period be was q frequent
visitor to his old home and birthplace,
but always unbeknown to those who
occupied the farm. When he reap
peared in this section and made Kim
self known he purchased the Old
homestead and commenced making
improvements, until he had as fine
and productive farm as this vicinity
affords. His premises always looked
neat and tasty, and when his friends
came to visit him they always met
with a warm welcome and hospitality
was shown them on every hand. That
he never married was popularity
which no one could account for, yet
nothing very strange was theught of
it. His business was conducted with
scrupulous care, and he was univer-
sally esteemed for his honest, frank.
manhood. This community never
possessed better citizen than he al
ways showed himself to be.
What caused George Sibbald to
take this terrible step no human miRd
seems able to conjecture. Possessed
of all the comforts Of this worlds goods,
with large, farm under a splendid
state of cultivation, supposed to have
several thousand dollars in bank,
there seemed to be nothing lacking
to make him happy. He was locked
upon as a man of strong and particu-
larly we'll balanced mind, magniffi-
cent physique, constitution. of iron,
and seemed the very psrsonifcatiOn
of health and happiness the very last
man whom one would think or expect
to destroy his seemingly pleasant
and contented life. 1t seems. however,
there must have been an awful pres.
sure upon his brain; some terrible,
heavy gloom, horrible melancholy,
unnoticed by his friends, seems to have
taken possession of his mind, which
even his splended constitution was
unable TO throw off. What brought
this on will doubtless never be known.
AS yet no papers have been discov.
cred making any disposition of his ss-
tate, which is estimated to be worth
, from $4,000 to $4,000.
The funeral took place on Sunday
last, being attended by his two broth

large cencourse of the citizens of this
vicinity. His remains were inferred

A young farmer in Cabarrus
County, ''of respectable parentaga, .
some time ago picked up an ac-
quaintance with woman and
to make it convenient to have
her company constantly, dressed
her up in suit of his own clothes
and took her to his own home. The
neighbors remarked the strong at
tachment between the two, but
thought nothing of it, until one day
his companions disguise was dis
covered. The two then made it up
to 90 to Texas and the young man
appointed q day for his CON-
panion to meet him at Harris
burg. The man deserted his CON-
panion and went to Texas by HIM
self. His female friend went to
Charlotte in a wagon, and is still
knocking about that town in her
masculine disguise.
