THE st. Agnes Guild, of the Epis-
copal church, will give Bean Bag
Festival at Mr. c. Spensley's, on

To THE call of some of the band
members who passed around among
the citizens to raise funds to com
plete uniforms, ETC., a generous and
praise-worthy response was made,
and the gratitude is plainly visible
on the countenance of every one
thus benefited.
A Richland county soldier says he

Woodstock to the Center, if neces-
sary, to vote for Gen. Logan for

for Billy Sherman.
THE new clip of wool is beginning
to be marketed The price is low

rule low throughout the season. The
business of sheep raising and wool

a FIRE at Avoca last Friday week
destroyed a hotel, an ice house, two
dwelling houses and five barns. 1t

TIE work done and that being
done on the streets and roads within
our city is worthy Of praise, but
would it not be wise step to take
into consideration the repairing of
some of the principal highways lead

and tedious to travel over, say moth
ing about the danger.
Now is the time to make short
work of the currant worm which is
doing so much damage to the bushes.
A small quantity of Powdered
White Hellebore will do the work
every time and no damage. This
was the only remedy successfully
employed in New York Is to 20
years ago when the pest was ravag-
ing there. A tin box covered with
a fine cloth is the best sitter.
THE memorial services at the M.
E. church last Sunday morning were
literally attended by our citizens
and by the G. A. r. Post in a body
per a general order. The pastor in
dulged in a lively discourse on
events of the war and historical
facts, for somewhat over an hour,
and the choir rendered rare and APP
propriate music, such as is seldom
excelled. 1t was good to witness
the loyalty displayed on the occasion.
