III. b. Ripley has again had the bad
luck to lose valuable horse.
Rev. Mr.. Patten is building substan-
tial fence about his doorYard for amuse-
ment.
G. A. Baker has taken new departure
by purchasing a saw and clapboard mill
and stock of logs in Rochester, paying
some $4,000 or more and taking immedi-
ate possession. He still retains his busi-
ness here.
Ripton is growing to be butter mart,
producers coming from several towns to
dispose of their surplus, after finding that
they obtain as fair prices as in other
places. This week G. S. Albee bought
"a packages and g. A. Baker smaller
number.
Another of our old townsmen has an
swered the last call and passed over the
river to be at rest from life of more
than usual physical suffering. On Aug.
2, 1888, William Billings was stricken
down while in comparative health by
paralysis, and from that time was con-
fined to his bed deprived of power of mo-
ton, until the 2Sth ult., when he died.
Mr. Billings was about 80 years of age.
Il
resident of the town, raising a large fam
lily and earning a competency at his busi-
ness of blacksmith and wheelwright,
though he suffered from early manhood
from an incurable fever-sore.

One of the hardest wind storms ever
seen here visited the town on the day and
night of the Sd inst. Considerable dam
age was done to crops, fruit and fences.
David Hale had barn blown from its
foundations into the cellar and badly

Calvin. Flora LaFrancis, Jessie LaFran-
els, Luella Noble, Carrie Pierce, Frank

Luella Noble, Maggie Caswell, Elihu
Noble. AS far as we can learn the
school was success in every way.
The school in district No. 6, taught by
Miss Edith Howe of Middlebury, closed
July 81. 1t was a success as far as pains
taking fidelity on the part of the teacher
was concerned. The scholar with the
least number of absences was MAUD

marks out of a possible G6. How many
pupils there were in the class is moi

A SHREWD SHARPER.

A stranger, registering at the Grant
House as IL. l.. Wilkins, Erie, Pa,
was in Atlanta five days looking
around with view to locating there.
He bantered G. G. Thorn, the gro
Ger at 118 Whitehall street, for a
trade. Thorn said he was doing a
good business and didn't care to sell.
Wilkins returned later and said he
liked Thorn's place better than any he
had seen, and he would give him cost
for his stock, pay him $500 for his
horse and wagon, and give him $500
bonus, and pay him $75 salary per
month for three months. The offer
was a good one and after consulting
his wife and uncle, he accepted the
proposition and finished taking stock
by Saturday night. During the three
days Mr.. Wilkins assisted Mr.. Thorn
in taking stock and waiting on custo-
mers, as it was agreed that it was his
property from the first of April. Sat
urday night Mr.. wilkins counted out
the cash in the money drawer, put
into sack some old papers with 81
on top, and told Mr.. Thorn to put
the sack in the safe. The other cash
he put in his pocket. Monday morn
ing Mr.. Thorn was to receive check
for 81, 500, but when Monday morn
ing dawned, Mr.. wilkins had left foI
parts unknown, and Mr.. Thorn was
out about $50 in cash, and some CT
gars and wine. A shrewd confidence
game to be sure.

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.

We can trace to the successful or
unsuccessful cultivation of the earth,
all that tends to make nation either
prosperous and happy, or miserable
and degraded. Among the causes
which contribute to the welfare of
our species, either individually or in
the aggregate, none can be mentioned
of deeper interest than the produc-
tive industry of the people in agricul-
ture. During the ages of war and re-
pine, when those who boosted them
selves the chiefs of mankind were en-
gagged in conquest and pillage, the
industrious of all classes received
little regard and were mainly employ
ed as the seryile ministers to avarice
or ambition. 1t was not until the
love of martial exploits was somewhat
abated that the interests of the indus
trial classes, the tiller of the soil and
the attendant of the workshop, re-
ceived that homage to which they
were entitled. Where the highest
civilization prevails and the popular
mind is left to exercise its own free
will, then the contentment of peace
and JOY that attends upon industry
and all its pursuits will be found, Sc
curing the sure means of subsistence
and perfect independence to every
industrious worker.

CATCHING FISH.

"They'ye gotta funny way of catch
ing fish on Seneca Lake" said the
travelling groceryman, land if there
isn't any law to stop it, | should
think there ought to be. They build
a circnlar Enclosure or docking out
from the shore. There are sliding
or drop gates to the inclosure, and
when the fish trap is set these gates
are open. At regular intervals they
are closed by the fisherman, and the
water Is pumped out of the cribs by
means of a steam engine. When the
water is out the fishermen take out
the fish by the wagon load. Bass,
lake trout, pike, and all kinds of game
fish are taken in this way. The fish
are peddled around the country at
prices that would make Fulton
Market fish dealer sick. | bought "A
10-pound lake trout for 80 cents of
one of these fish trappers. Thou
sands of them are sold at the same
price, and for less, too, if the buyer
wants to haggle with the peddler. "

The way President Cleveland and
his Cabinet officers are keeping Re
publicans in Office, it would appear
that the Republicans have gained as
big victory as the Democrats.
Postmaster. General Villas has author
lied the statement that the railway
postal clerks, who have become eff
Gent and valuable men against whom
no just compla, of neglect, in at
tention or want Of fidelity, honesty
or efficiency can be brought, and who
have not turned their attention to
political labors during their service,
need have no fear of being disturbed
50 long as they continue to render
and faithful service.

HOW THEY STAND.

If we count Riddleberger and Ma
hone, the Republicans have six ma
jority in the Senate. If Republican
Senators are elected in Illinois and
Oregon, a result that is by no means
assured, that party would have ma
jority of eight, and a change of four
votes would tie the Senate. This
year and next there will be elections
in New York, New Jersey, Indiana,
Connecticut, Ohio, Virginia and Cal
ifornia. A successor to Miller is to
be chosen in New York; to Sewell
in New Jersey; to Harrison in In
diana; to Hawley in Connecticut; to
Sherman in Ohio; to Malone in
Virginia, and to Miller in California.

NOT A MyJGWUMP,

THE Savannah News is not pleased
with the appointment of Pearson as
postmaster in New York, and pours
hot shot into Mr.. Clevcland's broad
sides. 1t concludes an editorial as
follows: ''lfPearson had beena mug
wump and had supported the Demo-
cratic cause there would have been
much more excuse for reappointing
him, because in that case his reap
pointment would have been conces-
sion to the mugwumps. 1t seems to
be very evident that there will be no
removals from Offices which are COW
cred by the civil service law, except
for cause, and the impression seems to
be that in many cases occupants of
offices which do not come under the
civil service law will be allowed to
serve out their terms. If, therefore
the Pearson case is to become prece-
dent the outlook for Democrats who
are seeking places is not very en-
couraging.

A New Haven man says that the
steamer Roanoke, from Norfolk bound
for New York, on Tuesday night
struck in among 500 black ducks.
The steamer is lighted with electric
lights and has one at the bow. Ducks
to the number Of 1913 landed dead on
the deck and were taken by the hands.
The night was hazy and they were
blinded by the light on the bow OF the
steamer. The lookout" of the YES
sci was struck by several of the birds
with such force as to knock him down
almost senseless.

The Senate refused to confirm the
appointment of Gen. A. r. Lawton
as United States Minister to Russia,
claiming that the pardon of Presi-

lieve him of his disabilities but that
the 14th amendment, subsequently
passed, required that Congress alone
could perform that duty. Conse-
quently President Cleveland has
withdrawn the nomination of Gener-

IN Memoriam of the Death of Little Ce
Gil Ford.

There's pair Of little haads
Laid to rest forever more.
Ihere're two little pearE cheeks
Whose rich blossomilg is o'er
Death has closed two little eyes,
That will no more sslile or weep,
Tiny windows of thekoul.
Little baby's gone to sleep.
There's another bud removed,
Ere it felt tile blight OF sin,
Through the doog the angels made,
Darling baby Jas passed in.
Far beyond thehzure skies,
Where the tity star eyes peep,
From all ealth's sad doubts and fears,
Little baby's gone to sleep.
He will wake in fairer lands,
Where tie angel voices sing,
There tl,ettowret shall expand,
There shall love perfection bring;
He has riached the golden shore,
Through the river cold and deep:
Angelsbbre him safely o'er,
Eittk baby's gone to sleep.
Anges bore him softly home,
Sofcrhiiti we may not weep:
Softly to the doorway come
Little baby's gone to sleep;
He has ally gone to sleep.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Ford with kindly sympathy
w. P. TARBLE.
