Miss Mary C. Colquitt, residing
near Sumner Grove, Ia, created
some little excitement by arrang-
ing TO marry a young man named
w. c. Clarke, an employee of the
New Orleans Pacific Railway Com
pany, and at the last moment Civ
ing her hand to a young man, a
neighbor, named Dockery. The
special adds "Clark and the young
lady were in the hotel parlor, in
this city, when Dockery and his
friends appeared, and the question
was plainly put to her, (which do
you want?'' She said 'Dockery.'
A license was at once procured, and
Rev. J. A. Hacket, of the Baptist
Church soon proclaimed Dockery
and Miss Colquitt husband and
wife. Clarke left for home, in his
buggy, with sad look on his cOun-
tenance. The father, it appears,
preferred Clarke, but, as often hap
pens, the daughter preferred an
other"

A Case of Conscience.

An eastern man who has been
making trip through Georgia
found every hotel supplied with
such abominable butter that he at
last got mad enough to face a land
lord and ask:
"Where on earth do you buy the
stuff you put on the table and call
butter 2"
"Mostly in Chicago, sir" was the
prompt reply.
"And don't you know that it's al
least go per cent. adulteration."
Certainly sir; but as long as
Chicago parties-buy our cottOn-seed
oil as one of the ingredients, we feel
bound TO make one hand wash the
other by ordering their butter".

baccO Just as much heat as 1t needed, after
fear of fire. The fires 1 left burning ali
night, and next morning there was no

Ostrich Farming Failure in Orange County

H&DTlG& Herald.
From parties and letters received
In the city from Orange county, we
learn that the business of ostrich
farming, which was commenced
last October by Mr.. Charlton Jones,
of Sylvan Lake, has proved almost
a failure. Mr.. Jones, backed by
some wealthy friends, passed thro'
this city last fall with six birds, for
which he paid an average price of
81 200 apiece, or u total of 81 200,
besides the expense of food and
transportation, which must bring
the aggregate up to not less than
$40, 900, for it is said by those who
know it costs as much to feed an
ostrich as to keep a horse. Not a
single egg has been laid since their
arrival in this country, and one by
one the birds have sickened and
died, till but q solitary survivor re-
mains.
A fatal mistake OF Mr.. Jones
seems to have been in importing
birds from Nubia instead of Cape
Colony, where the climate is more
like our own. The ostriches that
have been raised so successfully in
California are OF the Cape variety.
Nubian birds, coming from the hot
test part of tropical Africa, are hard
ly adapted to climate that is mere
ly sub-troDical, like Florida.
Miss Minnie Gates, a lovely young
girl of Louisville, KY, while cut
| ting flowers in her fathers garden,
was bitten on the ankle by snake,
supposed to be viper. The wound
inflicted by the reptiles teeth was
little larger than pin prick, and as
ii caused little pain at the time, not
much attention was paid to it until
| the next day. The following morn
ing the ankle had swelled to twice
| its natural size, and was causing the
young lady so much pain that she
could not walk. A physician was
called TO attend her, and he pro-
! ceeded to reduce the inflammation
A running sore was produced on
the limb, and Miss Gates began to
suffer terribly. In a couple of days
the swelling extended to the face,
the skin becoming corrugated and
cracked, resulting in running sores
The agony of suffering borne by the
poor girl is terrible, and it is thought
that she cannot possibly recover.

GAINESVILLE. Tenn.-DEAR SIR: take pleas
ure in stating that / used your Patent To-
bacco Curing Furnaces all through the past
season. / am well satisfied with the result,
and am convinced that your Furnaces are
superior to anything ever invented for cur
ing tobacco without danger of burning.
LIST. They are easily adjusted and worked.
End. They save q vast amount of anxiety
while firing.
Sd. One Is sufficient for % to "a foot barn,
or two to four for SO by 40 or 40 by so feet.
4th. If assisted with open fires until the
leaf is half cured, then shut off open fires, 1t
Will take fewer furnaces.
5th. They are very valuable for keeping
tobacco dry during along wet spell, and for
stripping by in cold weather.
9th. They furnish perfect safety from
blaze and sparks, need never let fires go
out at night, and yet need not stay in barn
at night, and be perfectly easy about burn
ing. for believe with proper care 1t Is i'm
possible to burn a barn with them. Think
they will last a lifetime if kept from rust,
and would recommend them to all PLAN
tiers. If they all will adopt them, man y
thousands of dollars viii be saved that are
lost yeGrly, curing the old way with open
fires. Wishing you much success, 1 am

Funeral of W. P. Campbell.

There was very large attendance
at the funeral of w. P. Campbell,
which took place in the first 1orcsbyte-
rian church at 3 p. NJ. Thursday.
The services were conducted by Rev.
j. f. Moffatt, pastor of the church,
who took occasion to make appropriate
and feeling remarks. He said that
some of us are inclined, in lamenting
the sad occurrence which deprived
the deceased of his life, to speak of
it rs an accident and say that if this
or that had been done it would have
been different, etc. In his opinion
there are no accidents with God. He
orders all for the best and such hap
peuings as this one, prove it. Oc-
currances like this remind lis of the
life beyond, the only life permanent
and lasting. The speaker referred to
the excellent Christian qualities of
the deceased, and said it surely was
not because he was sinner above
others that he was taken away. In
conclusion he read little hymn found
on Mr.. CampbclEs body when recov-
cred, beginning
Take my life and let it he

to take part in the services. The
music for the occasion was therefore
furnished by members of the choirs
of other churches, whowere requested
to take part. The music consisted OF

On Monday last tie Day published
local article about the reported eff
forts of West Virginia Republicans
to secure the services of repeaters
from Maryland at the State election
on the following day. The article in
question contained copies of draft
for $50, to which the name of James
d. Butt, of Harper's Ferry, was at
tached, which was understood to be
in payment for reporters, and an
agreement, to which Mr.. Butt name
was also attached, offering to pay
the holder So each for every voter
whom he would influence to vote the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Butt has
called on US and given us ample proof
that the signature to the draft and to
the agreement is not genuine, and as
we have no desire to do injustice to
any one, even though he be an active
political opponent, we freely make
this statement at his request and in
his behalf. We confess that we have
been imposed upon, and are glad to
do Mr.. Butt justice in stating that he
has been made the victim of forgery
by some one unknown to us. AS the
Day does not deal in forgeries for
political purposes, we hasten to wash
our hands of the whole business.
