A month later they had joined hands

the ceremony. But although they
were very happy, the young folks could

He Was Unfortunate.

A venerable tramp entered an Aus :

prietor:

the world. Please do something for

"a certificate from Parson Jordan,
of Galveston?" asked the merchant.
"Yes, sir here 1t is" replied the men,
dicant, handing the merchant a paper.
The merchant looked at the paper and
said:
'Parson Jordan, Of Galveston. is my
brother. I know his signature very
we'll and his signature on that certili-
cate is forged"
"Just as I expected" whined the
mendicant. 81 told you I was the
most unfortunate man in the world.

The Maddest Man in Illinois.

ture from Iroquois County, when as
sured of Logan's election telegraphed

He meant, of course, for them to hold
a jollifcation in Watseka, but the boys
took him at his word, and, showing the
message to Mrs. Peters, gained her con,
sent, and forthwith the entire male
population turned out, and, procuring
the brightest red paint imaginable,
painted the house, barn and outhouses
scarlet-roof, chimney and all, not
sparing even the fences and tree trunks.
When the Major heard of the affair
this morning he was the maddest man
in the nation, Notwithstanding Logans

Profit in Fruit Raising.

Lick's Magazine.
When fruit sells too low for profit it
Is time to preserve it and reaptreble
gains. The quickest and cheapest ways
of keeping fruit will be found most
profitable, and are the only ways in
which grower can work off crop in
time to save it. Dried fruit is easily
handled, and is coming back into favor
with the knowing housekeepers, who
recognize good things and know how
they should be cooked. No expense
for evaporators is necessary. l long
since made up my mind that evaporat-
ed fruit iq inferior to sun.dried in flavor,
and talking with old dealers in family
stores find they prefer the sun.dried for
their own use. The best cook l ever
knew said the same, and there is reason
for it. The sun ripens and develops
sugar and flavor in cut fruit dried in its
rays. To have nice quality Of dried
fruit, select firm nice ripe specimens,
wipe clean, pare and cut with silver
knives, as steel turns them black on the
edges, and hurry into the sun as fast as
they can be prepared.
The cheapest and best way of drying
fruit is to lay it on lengths of cheese
cloth, suspended on a frame out of
doors, in full sun, with white mosquito
netting over to keep off shreds and in
sects. This allows the air to reach
both sides of the fruit at once, and when
you want to turn it, the whole can be
swung over on another cloth, leaving
the first ready for new batch, Apples
should be cored, pared, and cut in
eight pieces. Peaches should not be
pared, for the richest flavor is lost with
the skin. They should have the fur
removed by dipping baskets of them a
moment into weak boiling I've of wood
ashes or common potash, and wiping
with course towels. Common peaches
only need be cut in halves to dry. We
had peaches dried in this way last win
ter, which when cooked would be hard
to tell from the best canned peaches in
looks, with richer flavor.

leather paperings which have come in.
to fashion lately, as we'll as the stamped
leather fire screens, are really nothing
but thick paper covered with a layer
of this fine pressed leather pulp. The
foreman of the factory to which the re-
ference is made says that the finer the
quality of the leather the better it
takes the bronze and old gold and other
expensive colors in the designs painted
on them. Fashionable people think
they are going away back to medieval
times when they have the walls of their
libraries and dining rooms covered with
embossed leather. They don't know
that the shoes and boots which their
neighbors threw into the ash. barrel a
month before form the beautiful
material on their walls and on the
screens which protect their eyes from
the fire. Many other trades use old
shoes and boots, and the tops of car
riages are largely made of them ground
upand pressed into sheets. Book. binders
use them in making the cheaper forms
of leather bindings, and the new style
of leather frames with leather mats in
them are entirely made of the cast
off covering of the feet There is very
little wasted in this world.

NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

The general trade was quiet and
dull to-day with no changes in the mar

Flour was dull but firm. Buyers

merely enough to supply present wants
of the trade, but millers are not dis
posed to make any concessions.
Wheat is held firm. The report of
the shortage in the wheat crop in all
sections inspires holders with great con-
fdence, and judging from the way
buyers have been taking hold recently
they are fast becoming of the same
opinion. Messrs. Williams q Co, re-

MEANWHILE PRODUCE MARKET.

Corrected weekly by Mead & Ritchey.
OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD,
McMinnville, June IL, 1885.
No special change to report in the
produce market.
Although the demand for wheat is
moderate in consequence of holders
pricebeing above that of buyers, the
tendency is higher. The very short
crops, as reported from almost every
wheat growing State in the Union,
have a tendency to higher prices yet
before the new crop is harvested.
Corn remains unchanged. The
prospect for large yield is favorable
in nearly all the corn growing States.
If Reasonable, Tennessee will proba-
bly, grow larger crop than for many
years previous.
The prospects for nearly all kinds
of fruit is good, except the late varie-
ties, which, in this section, it is said
will be short. The peach crop was
never more promising in Tennessee.

1t has long been known by many

are said to be worth five cents each.

boots will bring fifteen cents. The

Then the nails and threads are removed
and the leather is ground into fine

GONE WRONG.


How n Prominent Young Man Of Nsnia
Gets Away with 5000.
From Morning Editionl
John X. Hutchinson, a prominent young
man, heretofore well and favorably known in
business circles of Xenia, as book keeper in the
First National Bank, was found to be missing
on Saturday morning. He was auxiously in
quired after by the township trustees for the
funds belonging to the township entrusted to
his care as township treasurer.
1t was found on examination of the books
that the shortage would go over $1,000
but his bondsmen are considered good and
the loss will not tall upon the
taxpayers. He left the city on Thursday,
going to Dayton, and it has been learned he
had over seven hundred dollars of township
funds on deposit ut the Second National
Bank. Ga the day he left he called at the
bank and drew this money. and It is pre-
sumed that he took II with him. 1t is
thought that the amount OF the deficit will
be made good at once by the bondsmen.
Hutchinson was book keeper in the First
National Bank. and II Is known that he has
lost heavily In various speculstions and bet
ting on fast horses.
