DECEMBER II.
There is a dearth of news this week.
Our postoffice viii probably be in full
blast by the holidays.
The free trade democrats have sound
ed the bugle note of victory or death to
the party in lS84-death l guess.
We presume great preparations are
being made for the holidays in Hurley.
The world jogs on out here much as
usual, holidays or no holidays.
Mr.. Editor, do you revel in poetry 7
If 50. perhaps the following, from one
of my foreign exchanges might re-
mind you of the time when you was
young. This is choice(?) selection
from Fond Memories"
u Pass the butter gently, Mabel,
Shove It lightly through the air;
In the corner Of the dish, love,
You will ind nut-bsown hair.
What fond memories 1t awakens
Ofthe days e'er we were wed;
When upon nv nne coat collar
OF was laid your little head.
Lovingly strokcd those tresses
In the happy days gone by;
Now strike them every meal time.
In tho butter and the pie.
(Apd so on ad nauscam.)
The w. C. T. U. have a. last hit the
nail on the head. They advocate the
teaching of temperance ideas in school
textbooks, sermons, treatises on physi-
ologv, in papers. and lay great stress on
the idea of physical inheritance. That
is the most sensible stand taken aad
Miss Willard. president of the union,
had the brains to conceive it. You can
teach and persuade men and individu-
ais. but you can't drive them in mat
ters Of morals and culture.

Made an Assignment.

No little surprise was manifested last
Tuesday morning when word was
passed from mouth to mouth that Jos.
Allen had made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors. The liabilities
are about $1,000 and the assets over
$4,000.
Mr.. Aliens was one of the oldest
business houses in Turner county, he
having started at Swan Lake about
seven years ago, and the business done
WAS very large But as is too often the
case, particularly in small towns, the
book accounts had become too numer-
Gus and too large.
Another source of considerable ex-
pense during the past season has been
the removal of his buildings from Swan
Lake to Hurley and the fitting up ne
cess;ry to make them habitable.
The assignment was not forced but
was chosen by Mr.. Allen as being the
safest and surest way to meet all his
Indebtedness without loss to any of his
creditors or to himself.
The assignee, Mr.. c. NJ. Pier, has pos
session of the goods, books, ETC., and
the general feeling is that all will get
what is due them and that there will
be money left.
To the many whom he has befriended
and trusted we would say, come for
ward and do what you can to place Mr..
Allen speedily on his feet, for you may
need friend again, for such he has
been to all who were in need of the
necessaries and comforts of life.
The dedication services at the Bap-
tist church last Sunday were well at
tended considering the threatening as
pect of the weather. The sermon, by
Rev. Mr.. Ellis, taken from Paul's epis-
tie to the Ephesians, 5th chapter and
9th verse. The report Of the building
committee showed debt of S97.65 on
the church building, which amount was
| quickly raised by those present. We
understand that a lot for a parsonage
Was presented to the society by Rev. T.
II. Judson. Mr.. Ellis commended the
society and committee for the manner
in which they had progressed with
their building, giving them credit for
doing much more than usual with the
same amount of money.

later than 3 in the afternoon. aud moth
lug absolutely afterwards, except it
might be in some cases al orange or

tea, broma, sugar, water, or ice cream,
there would be such a change for the
better in the way of sound sleep, a feel

The Jewish Chronicle says that q
Jewish young man, 10 years old,
named Solomon Schisgal, has invented
{. watch which goes by electricity, and
with scarcely any movement; it is,
therefore, simple in construction and
easy to handle; i; is cheap, and, above
al, keeps correct time. Herr Chwo.-
son, professor Of physics at the Univer-
city of st. Petersburg, has written an
article on the subject in the Neyyosti,
u which he says: SIN its remarkable
simplicity tbs invention can only be
compared with the Jablochkof system
Of electric lightning. The watches are
without any springs, and consist solely
Vt two wheels, Besides being true,
they have the advantage of the second
ldud moving in single momentaIy
leaps, as is usually the case only i"
very costly watches, and which is of
the Utmost utility for astronomical OBJ
se9vatioGs, These watches can also be
set in motion a certain number Of
watchps OF the same construction, SO
that they all keep exact time. Tie in
NtEtion has convinced me that watches
can be used lor the purpose of telegra-
Ihy.' after namin! several other adj
ynntages, Prof. Chwolsn descIibe the
invention as a wonder which viii
e,use an entire revolution in the maui
I,actWe Of watches. Herr Schisgal is
tie son Of Il Jewish watch-mak,r in
IcrditSchew.
