become an heiress though to how much is
not yet known. There is quite property
left by this brother but there are seven

good fortune that may fall to this estima.
BILE lady, and when facts develop shall

Saturday evening, as "Judd," son of
D. B. Smith, had secured a refractory cow
by tying her to one of his legs, and turned
to secure her mate, she started off at a
furious rate, dragging the luckless boy
for several rods after her over the rough
ground. His cries brought speedy assist
ance in the person of Jas. Cronon, and
he was delivered from his strange and
perilous ride, and wonderful tofrelate,
suffered but little injury.
Realizing the value of the TRAN
SCRIPT weather predictions, we have been
casting about for our weather prophet,
but we can't find him. It grieves US to
see OUR friends pin their faith to such
tickle things as the ring-tailed coon and
the w0od-pecker. Last year we took the
inimitable muskrat for prophet. He
predicted mild winter by building him
self thin house, and the Lord sent a
blizzard and frOZe him to death for lying
to us. This year we shall look farther.
Autumn is with us in all its glory of
changing foliage and beautiful scenery.
There is a charm in the mellow, autumn
DAYS, and the beautifully tinted leaves
tinted by the touch of Gods own finger
that is indescribably sweet, and precious
and satisfying. What delightful reveries
do the beauties of autumn bring to the
mind-what delicious dreams, what peace
to the soul. O, Autumn, child of Peace
and LONELINESS would that thy gentle in
fluences might be felt always; thy beauty
last forever.
