This is what an eminent physician
says about roller skating. "It is Just
the thing wanted by our young people
especially the ladies. 1t affords just
the sort of exercise hat they require
for their physical development gentle,
but active, and SO attractive they can-
n%otresist it. 1t is my deliberate opin-
ion that no conception has ever en-
tered the human mind, in this century
SO important to the health of ladies
in our cities as this skating within
doors. Nothing could exceed it in
grace. No sight ! have ever bcheld
is 81 beautiful as a roller skating rink
with its tastefully dressed young men
and ladies sailing, swimming, float
ing through the mazes or the march,
as if impelled by magic power. The
old people assemble nightly to wit
ness the sight, apparently as much
delighted as their children"
r. G. Gingles came here three
years ago from Waterloo, Wis. At
that time the sum total of his poses
sions was sl6O in money, a pair of
sucking colts and a yoke of cattle.
He secured a claim three miles south
of town and went to work, and work
means something with him. To-day
he has lis acres under cultivation,
65 fenced, a good frame house l6x22
two stories high, grapary 14x2o,
six good horses, 2 head Of cattle, a
number Of hogs. The past season he
raised 500 bushels of wheat, 400
bushels of oats, 800 bushels of corn
and $50 bushels of flax. During the
three years which end this spring he
has kept account of 'his cattle sales
and has realized 500 for them alone
besides he has sold several horses and
a large number of hogs. He has l0,-
600 trees planted nearly around his
quarter and they have grown from six
to eve feet high. His farm is one
of the incest around here and he has
accomplished what will look to our
eastern readers like a miracle simply
by clear grit and downright hard
work.--1lcrondaiia Hcrald.

81 was at Shiloh" said enc. sand
while standing under a Saoky sky in
a storm Of leaden hail beheld the
noble Albert Sidney Johnston fight
and fall upon the blood-led altar of
his country"
"And l." said another, @was at the
Wilderness when the very air was red
with the fire battle and the myriad
minies sang their death sorg in the
ears of the brave. |, too, fought, bled
and died for my country.
"And L." said the third, 9stood in
the fires front at Gettysburg when the
wild rebel yell mingled strangely
with the Shrek Of the deadly shell
that plowed the patriot rank. I, too,
fought, bled and died for my coun-
try.
"And /, gentleman" said a lauk,
seedy, solemn man, with a faded UNI
berella under his arm. 81 was at
J%onesboro when shot and shell sped
swiftly by in the wagon train and all
seemed lost. But, l too, was q pat
riot and, while l neither fought nor
died, bled for my country-I bled
the army mules. Gentlemen, I am a
horse doctor. Are there any jack
asses in this crowd?-E.r.
The news Of the acquittal by the
P%lankinton jury, Of Lewis the Mitch
ell murderer, was received with express
sions of astonishnlent in Kimball.
Public sentiment here is almost unan-
imous against the verdict. The
Plankinton Standard seems favora-
bly, inclined toward Lewis as we'll as
the Mitchell lfua. The Republican
has been against him all the time.
The GRAPHIC is not prepared to make
any comments pro or con, yet, after
reading the judges charge to the jury
it IS difficult to see how the jury could
have acquitted Lewis unless the evi-
dence was overwhelmingly in his
favor. In his charge to the jury
Judge Edgerton said: eff, therefore,
you find from the evidence in this
case that the detendent, at the time
Of the homecide, was armed with a
loaded gun, and was acting in a man
ner eminently dangerous to others,
and that while so acting the gun was
discharged, eren acciaeatIy, then the
%defendent is guilty of the crime of
murder, and you should so find by
your verdict"
