Forgery and Wife Desertion.

Mr.. III. E. Tremble of Michigan, who
has been here several months selling a
great many pillow sulkles OF his own
manufacture, had Il man by the name
OF Clarke Briggs engaged with a
wagon peddling sulkies over the coun-
try. Briggs was instructed, when he
couldn't get cash, to take notes, and he
reported but very little cash. Briggs
left here on the last day of October
and has not been heard from by Trem-
BILE since, but it transperes that he
turned in fourteen forged notes for
$36 on different parties to whom he
had sold plows for cash. Briggs is
about 80 years of age. He was ac-
companied by woman whom he rep
resented as his wife, who stayed at
Guthrie while he was at work in that
vicinity. However Friday morning a
neatly dressed lady arrived here from
Kalamazoo, Illinois, representing her.
self as Mrs. Briggs on the hunt of her
truant husband. The truth of her
story was evident from the forged
notes he had sent her, instead of
money and which she expected to
realize on here. The poor woman was
without money and when she came to
realize all, she was broken down by
sorrow.

which ne declined. 1t is very digni-
fed and important office-something

airy of 5000 year and perquisites
amounting to as much or more than
the salary. But the General thought
it was too far from home, would not
suit his family to go there and he did
not feel justified in the sacrifice to be
made here.

number Of reliable physicians would

number Of reliable physicians would
pronounce incurable.
The fanaticism of faith cure leads
philosophically and surely to atheism.
This comes by easy transition from the
ultimate belief that Il am the chosen
power of God" to the remuneration of
all religion whatever. Such is the case
with many prominent faith cure be-
levers in the east, who are prominent
for their cures but have no sort OF re-
| ligion.
These practitioners ultimately get
to the point where they employ trick
cry, legerdemain and necromancy in
accomplishing their cures. The result
is to work desperate wickedness in
themselves. at
DIR. Barbee in conclusion advised his
hearers to follow the history of parties
embarking in the faith cure belief and
see where they will finally land He
said that some of the extravagant
grounds taken by these faith cure be-
levers amounted to irreverent, bias
phemous ignorance.
Every bit of food, however, every
dose of medicine, a mans business, all
depend upon the divine energy and,
therefore, for these, prayer is most eff
cacIous. But never pray for God to
raise sick man and cure him abso-
lutely.

The excursion of western farmers, it
is understood will arrive here on the
evening of Nov. 10Th and will be re-
ceived and entertained by the citizens
of GAINESVILLE and farmers from the
country, on the Goth. Our farmers
will give an exhibition of farm prod
ucts, etc., and hear some lively speak
ing, telling how farming is carried on
in a cold climate, where they have
seven months winter, and how farmers
are kept awake at nights out there, by
the cracking Of the growing corn that
is just bound to get rite up to business
to get in between two frosts.
We would urge our country people
to turn out and spend one day mixing
with these strangers, giving them such
hearty welcome to Montgomery
county that they will not forget soon.
Let every farmer bring along some
thing for the Show, dozen ears of
corn, some potatOes,peck of wheat, oats
OF different varieties, samples of hay,
fruits and everything produced. II
our farmers will do this, they will be
surprised themselves at the wonder
full exhibition they will have, and be
gratified with the good effect. 1t will be
worth while to mix and talk with these
people and persuade them to stay over.
Come in your buggies and carriages
prepared to take visitors who want to
buy land out to your homes and show
them over the country.

Growth of the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Market.
The annual report showing the
actual shipments of tobacco for the
year ending October 81, not resales
and remarked hogsheads, was 28,3S2,
against H. 1892 hogsheads last year, and
1880 for 1882, over doubling receipts
and shipments in three years, exhibits
remarkable development, and shows
more the strength OF the market in
commanding orders and drawing re-
ceipts. The intelligent fugal farmer
is not slow in discovering where the
highest prices are paid for the weed,
and the nonsense in fritting away his
profits in sustaining weak efforts to
establish multiplicity of markets.
Nor will the public fail to observe the
mutual benefits growing out of this
development to both the growers and
the business interest of GAINESVILLE.
As the tobacco market enlarges, so in
proportion will the general trade grow
and goods of all classes cheaper while
farm products advance to the highest
notch. With this prosperity our city
has grown, and will continue to grow,
and verify we believe that if all inter
ests will work tremendously together
tor the common good, Mr.. Clark's
resolution, so unanimously adopted by
the Board of Trade, that we unite and
go to work to increase our tobacco re-
ceipts next year to $1,000 hhds." will
be realized. After all of Louisville's
swelling and blowing, she is very little
ahead of GAINESVILLE as tobacco mar
ket in the item of pounds. From the
fact that Louisville is a general market
selling all grades and classes OF to-
bacco, her receipts are naturally ex-
pected to double GAINESVILLE, having a
speciality. But when we compare
pounds, the difference is not so wide
Hogsheads in the Louisville market
range from 500 to 1900 pounds, while
in GAINESVILLE they weigh from 1,5OOto
1900 pounds. II our trade shall win
$4,000 hhds., this year, then we shall
fully equal LoUisville's 100000.

ing of Christ and the end of the world
will come after the thousand years
have expired, time that no man
knoweth, not even the Son, but the
Father only. Brother Hurst has put
these important events of little too
long; there will not be many of us
left to witness the wonders. However,
if we can remain to see our friend Jo.
properly restored in 1882, we shall not
be particular about the other events.
