The Day has Arrived

The ARGUS recently published an ex-
tract from circular published by cou>
Pile of cranks, one living in Chicago, and
the other in Woodruff this state, II
which they predicted the end of time, which
was to occur January 9Th. The day has
arrived, and it may be that many people
will not have an opportunity to read this
item, but we are going to risk it anyhow
These cranks predicted that the e"~th was
going to flop upside down and spill evety'
body and everything else into oblivion.
In fact we were going to have monkey
and parrot time of it. If what these two
worthless predicted comes to pass, it WI
not be surprising to see birding fron
Davenport waltz ng up and do" Second
avenue. Other houses may be observed
doing high and lofty tunbling in mid air
Sims will be seen flying through the all
like bullets through cheese, and the bill
lowy girl will come dow with ''sicken
ing thud." In fact pandemopium vii
reign supreme. While all this is going oil
the ARGUS will have corpse of reporters
to carefully note the proc edHgs, and |
full report will appear tomorrow. People
who contemplate leav ng in hurry whel
the business begins should not forget t.
leave their postoffice address SO that they
may get their paper.

the ice had melted leaving a clear pool all
along the shore. People coming from

Romantic.

There is quite little romance connect-
ed with a quiet little wedding which took
place in Davenport recently, the gentle
man being from this city. The couple
bad been engaged for fifteen years. When
they were young they met in the east and
became engaged to be mprried. After the
engagement had progressed for some time
the young man got to imbiblng pretty
freely and the young lady told him that
she would never marry him until he stop
ped-swore off for good. He left her and
came west and kept on drinking and got
on many a high old spree with the boys.
Things went on this way till two or three
years ago when he suddenly abandoned
the use of intoxicating liquors entirely
and since that time has lived model life d.
The young lady who had remained single
and true to him al these yeas, came west
some time ago and as before stated, they
were happily married, and no doubt their
lives in the future will be long and happy.
Their names are known to us but it would
not be proper to reveal them here.

SETTLING THE CLAIMS.
Young Warnock, the Sheffield Student
 ReleaAed.

Released.
 James E. Warnock, the student of the Sheffield school who was arrested for steal. ing watch from James Heyworth, was re- leased yesterday morning on $500 bonds fur nished by Lawyer Bailey. Warnock's father and uncle have come from Atlanta, Georgia, and are busily at work settling the claims against the young man. He was allowed te go on his own recognizance on another charge which the police have against him. The watch chain belonging to A. R.. Franklin could not be recovered, so the student re- ceived it's value in money. It is thought that young Warnoek's s bills amount to $1, 900. MT. Warnock thinks that his son is deranged. The young man acts as though he did not care about the disgrace; when he saw hfs father he said nothing about home or friends.
 MT. Warnoek had Professor H. P. Wright appointed as guardian of his son and Mr. Isaac Thomas was engaged as tutor for him. Both Professor Wright and Mr. Thomas had written to MT. Warnock of the conduct of his son. but he did not understand from the letters that things were so serious. The case will be brought before the City court next Wednesday :
