The first snow OF the season fell

Mr.. Rodgers has booked "The
World" a very superior attraction,

We have been presented with
sample Of the celebrated pearl meal,
manufactured by Eugene Wood,
which Is the incest article In the way
Of meal we ever saw. Since seeing
and eating bread made from 1t we
must confess, as he announces, that
we were surprised that such bread
could be made from corn.p We adj
wise lovers Of corn bread 10 try 1t.
Tho attention Of our readers is
called to the advertisement of the
Remington fire engine In another
column, also to the article showing
the esteem in which It is held In a
Maine village, where its efficiency in
extinguishing fire has been fully
demonstrated. Every village should
see TO II that suitable fire precau-
tons are made now that winter has
set In.
The Hopkinsvillc correspondent Of
the Clarksville Democrat thus gives
away an editor from that village:
ar. NJ. Hall, one of the editors of
the Democrat, arrived in our city
last Friday night and expected to
leave the next morning, but saw so
many things calculated to excite
wonder In rustic mind that he re-
manned until Sunday. The novel;
ties of city life, of tall buildings COW
ering whole squares, Of streets and
pavements running in various direc-
tons, so excited his surprise that
several Of our citizens became inter-
ested In showing him around. When
his attention was called to a street,
he would ask, "where does this road
lead2" He spoke of gas posts as
"cross roads, candle-sticks' and
/. thought our stone bridges must be
natural formation"
