WELLINGTON.

The republicans of Wellington and
vicinity hoisted what they called a
Blaine and Logan flag; there was very
little enthusiasm shown, only a very
few being present. The flag consists
of some six stripes and has no stars on
it. If the democrats had raised such a
flag the howl would have gone all over
the country that there was rebel flag
raised.
Still it rains.
Farmers are very backward with
their wheat sowing, only about one
half are through.
The apple crop is as fine as was ever
known in this section.
Mrs. W. j. Thompson, Mr.. L. d.
Thompson and wife, and Charlie Car
ter, started on trip south October 7th.
They went i'll two horse wagon, TAX
ing full camping outfit with them.
They expect to visit Arkansas, as well
as Southwest Missouri, and perhaps
the Indian Nation before returning.
Ed. Metcalf, who was living near
Waterloo, left for parts unknown, y
few days ago. lie bought round trip
ticket from Waterloo to Independence,
telling Mr.. Crutsinger, the agent, that
he was going to Fort Scott, Kansas, to
engage wheat to tliresh, as he has a
new steam thresher. There was no
suspicion of his running off at the time
he left, but after an absence of several
days it began to be rumored around
that Ed. had run off to defraud his
crditors. He purchased just before har-
vest. so acres of land of Capt. j. D.
Conner for ST. POO, OH which there was
So acres of splendid growing wheat
Jake being generous fellow, he did
not require MIR. Metcalf to make any
payment until after harvest.
Mr.. w. G. Ewing, of indianapolis,
Indiana, engaged in the walnut lumber
business. bought a stump or snirl OF
Tom Kite, for which he paid $50. He
paid six dollars for cutting it down. 1t
stood on the land of st, phen Gates
near Waterloo. Mr.. Ewing employed
z. w. Wright to haul and load it for
which he paid fifty dollars. Mr.. Ira
and Mr.. Wright were two days loading
it on log wagon and hauling it to the
r. r. and loading it on the car. Messrs.
James Goode and William Lansford
helped load it, and did the driving; it
took six horses to pull it. 1t measured
z feet one way by about 5 feet, and
was feet long, there had been tree
taken off of one side of it that measured
! some 81 feet thick, hence it was not
round. Mr.. Ewing estimates it to
make LOO feet of lumber board meas
ure, and he says it will be cut into
veneering $50 to the inch. 1t will
make near two hundred thousand feet
of veneering; he will take it to Indi-
annapolis and from there to the Worlds
Exposition at New Orleans. He says
it is worth at low estimate, 81 900. 1t
will cost him by the time he gets it TO
indianapolis $3.50, as he has made two
trips here 10 see about it. lie says he
has handled walnut lumber for sixteen
years. and this is the largest and finest
knot Or snirl he ever saw. We have
been hauling logs and working III the
timber business all our lives, but have
never saw any thing in the same shape
or anything SD unhandy to haul; il

pounds OF more

NORWICH Conn.,, October 13.-The
Large Falls Cotton Mills of this place
shut down over six weeks ago, and the
outlook is that they will remain closed
all winter. Between 400 and 500 Oper-
atives were thrown out of work. and
six weeks of idleness has reduced most
of them to destitutiOn. For a while
they were allowed "trust" at the com
pany's store, but within week or two
that source Of supply of daily neces-
saries has been shut of. What they are
To do they do not know. They have
no money with which to migrate to
other mill towns, and even if they had
money, the universal industrial stagna-
ton throughout New England promises
only change of scene and greater
wretchedness. Most OF the operatives
have large families, which are ragged
and hungry. They have no money to
buy food and clothes with, and they
can not keep warm or cook by the blaze
OF Blaine tOrchlight professions, which
noisily tramp through the mill settle
ments almost nightly, brandishing such
Illuminated notices as ado you want
to retain your prosperity? Then vote
for Blaine and Logan" These people
will have to starve this winter, or ap-
ply to the town for help. They have
begun to apply already. Rows of wo-
men and hait.grown girls are seen at
the selectmen's office daily, asking for
dollar or two to buy food with. In
all the mill villages in this part of the
state. and in every other part of New
England, the situation is pretty much
the same. In all mill villages the help
have to "live from hand to mouth. -
That is what they call it, and they mean

cannot get card of one-cent matches,

his book and having the purchase en-
tered. At the weeks end he is paid
the balance of his wages, if there is a
balance, above his store accounts.
Generally there is none. In mill vii
lagos all the tenements are the property
of the company. When the mill shuts
down. and there is no longer any
''trust" at the store, the operative is in
almost Us hopeless a condition as a
castaway on the ocean. In the village
of Baltic, eight miles north of this
city, Polish Jews beg from door to
door. In this city -four of the five pistol
factories have been closed for months.
There are no operatives training in the
political tOrchlight caravans this fall.
1t is the opinion of an observer, whose
business calls him to all parts of New
Eng and, that the coming winter will
witness suffering and wretchedness
among the working people unparalleled
i'll the history of the country.

This settles the matter. 1t is also

color to the hair, and vigorous health to the
scalp, are innumerable.
Old people like it for its wonderful power to
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty. Middle-aged people like it
because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandrutf away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like 1t
as dressing because 1t gives the hair . beau
tiful glossy lustre, and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the
favorite of all, and it has become so simply
because it disappoints no one.

territories has made good money,
Every farmer who has tired the fenct

Grit And Enterprise viii Win.

We have been in the habit of regarding
our neighbors Of old Boone as fogles and
barnacles, and claiming for ourselves
more pluck and enterprise thar any
county in Central Missouri. But old
Boone is ahead of US this time. Two Of
her citizens, Johnston Bros, young men,
natives. Of the county, possessing NERVE
andforecast,' have become the owners
OF a "simple invention" that win make
them rich in a few months, besides max
ing fortunes for hundreds Of others who
may invest in it. We have seen so
much in the local papers, and heard SO
much about it, that we determined to
look into it. Expecting to find some
complicated continuance, our surprise
was beyond measure when we discovered
it to be a "wire lock" for a rall fence, SO
simple in its construction and applica-
ton, that a child can understand and ap-
ply it. But its very simplicity is II of
its chief recommendations. We believe
the prime elements, entering into the
success of all inventions are: First,
their utility; second, universally of APP
plication; third, economy.
We see it stated, on the authority of
those who have given the subject thought
and investigation, that no invention pos
sessing these characteristics has even
failed of success. This judgment seems
to be borne out by the history Of the
steam engine, reaper, sewing machine,
telephone and others of like character
This invention certainly possesses the
qualities referred to in an eminent de.
gree. 1t is so simple, effective and CHEAP
that no farmer with a rail fence Oh his
farm can afford to be without it. Tht
right to use it, although granted for the
nominal price of five cents per acre
yields a fabulous income when you com
to take into account the untold mil
lions of acres enclosed, and to be en-
closed, in this country with rail fences
and the effect of this invention will be t,
popularize the use of rails. 1t seems t,
US that while the Johnstons get thei
money by selling State and county rights
there ought to be big money in it to thos
who retail out individual rights. WI
are always glad to see pluck and enter
prise succeed, and whilst we would Xix
to have a share in their good forum
over this way, we say God-speed t
them. Can't some of our ingenious me
chanics, or sharp-witted and shrewd fl
nanciers invent something to help us GU
of the dizziness and ~stasnation of thi
hard winter?-Audrain County Press.

If the Democrats of the town, repre-
senting all classes of citizens, request a
party to consent for his name to be used

Hutton, who knows nothing about the
wishes of the people, say things rejecting
upon their actions? Shall the people OF
Mexico act according to their judgment
with reference to the election Of city off,
GERS, or suffer themselves to be ruled and
dictated to by John E. Hutton as to how
they shall &C. concerning such matters
Nay, verify, unless the people think Hut
toms will should be the law of he town
Shall the people act for themselves or be
an instrument in the hands of Hutton, is
the question.
