George EIiot's Life, as disclosed in her
Letters and Journals, arranged and edited
i, her husband, J. W. Cross, has been
eagerly welcomed by the literary world.
The incidents of her early life and the
manner in which her transcendent genius
transmitted them to gold, will natur-
ally interest the readers of this page more
than the sombre majesty of her subsequent
life. The extracts here given are taken
chiefly from the period beginning with the
entry of her birth, in Mr.. Robert Evans's
lher father handwriting, on the page of an
old diary
November p, 1819-Mary Ann
Evans was born at Arbury Farm, at five
o'clock this morning. On the 29th of
November she was baptized in the Parish
Church. She was the youngest of five
children; the two elder ones being the
children of Mr.. Robert Eyans's first wife.
Harrott Poynton, and the three younger,
Ghristiana Isaac and Mary Ann, being the
children of the second wife, Christiana
Pearson.
in March, 1920, when the baby girl
was only four months old, the Evans fam
liy moved to Grif, a charming red brick
uncovered house on the Arbury estate

AT the cutters banquet at Sheffield,
England, Thursday evening last, MIR
Phelps replied to the toast ITO the
American minister" and was heartily
cheered. He said that he regarded the
welcome as an indication Of a similar
feeling throughout England toward
America which reciprocated and echo-
ed the sentiments of love, honor and
devotion expressed toward the queen,
He vas glad the government had i'll
stituted an inquiry into the trade de-
preston which was equally existent i'll
America. He thought the depression
vas somewhat due TO haste to get rich,
luxurious living, and the flooding the
world with goods that are not re-
CURED, and hence do not pay tor their
production. In conclusion, Mr.. Phelps
said that if any word OF his should
linger in the English mind his first and
last wish was for a continuation of the
%brotherly feeling between the English
speaking people OF the world whose
peaceful dominance gave the best hope
for an enlightened, noble and Christian
civilization.

OUNOORDIA,

News rather scarce this week.
Our public school opens next Monday.
Mr.. w. l. Nelson. principal, and Miss
Emma Morath, OF Lexington, assistant.
This will be the third term that Miss
Morath has taught in this school. The
schools in this vicinity will open in
about a month. The following teachers
have been employed: S. j. Sparks,
Ebenezer school !; VIM. Schoemaker,
PLACER school !; Geo. Amick, Ward
school; Ed. Willie, Miller school; Miss
Anna Wilke, Brockman school 4: Mr..
Latham, Wiley school !; Chas. Flory,
Giesecke school, and w. F. Walken-
horst, Walkenhorst school. Nothing
would give us more pleasure than to
see the teachers of this community and
others organize a live literary society
during the coming winter. Nothing
tends to bring out ones talent better
than such a society.
We notice in the Lexington Register,
of this week, that that paper has some
remarks against Rev. John Demand, Of
this place, because he stopped his paper.
1t appears hat the Register printed
some remarks that Mr.. Robert Ingersoll
had made regarding the revision of the
bible and Rev. Demand stopped his
paper. OF course this may be a deli
cate matter, and 1t ma not be well for
me to say much about it; still, since
some people boast of the ''free press of
America" we will venture TO make a
few remarks on this subject. 1t seems
very singular hat some men think that
they are entitled to do things because
others do o Some think that because
some man i'll Great Britain or in France
or somewhere else has done certain
things they too are justified in doing so.
We know of several other parties who
do not relish Ingersolls blasphemy. 1t
is not the kind of reading they want
their children to have, and if certain
editors think that they can build up a
paper in Lafayette county by dishing
up to its readers and their families
nothing better than Bob Ingersoll, we
fear that success will be a long time
coming.
This morning we learned of the death
Miss Nina Husher, of EIigginsville. Mr.
Husher's family formerly resided in
this neighborhood, and the beautiful
and accomplished Miss Nina was well
known and beloved by her many friends
and relatives of this place. 1t was with
the deepest regret that we heard the
sad ews Death, while taking the
young aud fair daughter from her fam
lily circle, and leaving her parents,
brothers and sisters to mourn her UNI
timely end, has not been idle here. One
short year ago there was a happy family
in this neighborhoOd. The family was
composed of an industrious, economical
father, a loving and diligent mother
and seven bright, laughing children.
Since that time disease, in the shape OF
dropsy, struck down the mother. She
fingered long, suffered much. grew
worse and worse, and on Wednesday
morning gave the parting kiss to hel
loving family, and her soul fled t.
worlds beyond where we can see; ana
thus MIR. Henry Tebbencamp and sever
} children are left to mourn the loss o
e one they all dearly loved. Mrs. Teb'
, bencamp was buried in the Baptis
graveyard on Wednesday at one O'Clock

CORDER.

On last Saturday night MIR. Martin
Leiser's grocery store was entered by
burglars. They tried to get in the sale
where he had placed his books and
money, but they failed to get it open
however. They broke the combina-
ton and otherwise injured the safe to
IA considerable extent. The thieves got
about three dollars, and took several
things from the store, when it is sup
posed they became frightened and left.
A loose horse with bride rein thrown
over the saddle was found on the street
next morning; it is supposed it was
ridden here by the thief, the horse it
had since been discovered belonged TO a
gentleman near Higginsville, and had
been stolen from him Saturday night,
