The cold weather is precepitating a
ruch among the majority Of us; and
strongly suggests, that you harvest
your late crop Of turkeys, reinforce the
dome Of your winter pants, "stand in"
with the coal dealer, don't camp under
a leaning tree, avoid the missionary
who carries subscription list, sub
scribe for all the papers-and ply up
when you have leisure, attend the
earlies hog-killing, vote for Bob Taylor,
pay your prayers and say your taxes
under the war tariff schedule, head up
your cabbages and put head on any
man who don't agree that GAINESVILLE is
the gayest old town on the planet-and
that there's more people this year than
there ever was before. -,

Killing.

Yesterday morning Squire Nc d.
o'Brien, Of Hadensville, held an inquest
on the dead body of one Doc Johnson
col. lying in the Puclic road, four miles
from Hadensville towards Keysburg, in
front of Darden & 0verbys grocery.
Evidence given before the coroners
jury goes to show that deceased came
to his death from a stab in the left
breast inflicted with a knife in the
hands OF one Jack Hunter col. a travel
ing banjo picker, yesterday evening be-
tween sun down and dark. There seems
to have been dispute between these
two negroes about small amount OF
money which Hunter owed Johnson.
Hunter is still atlarge.

OK Friday 22nd, inst, in company
with Gilmer M. Bell, Eco, the editor
OF this paper had The pleasure Of visit
ing old friends and forming some
pleasant acquainmnces among the good
people OF the 10Th district in this coun-
ty. The chairman Of the County com
mittee, in his wisdom, and OF his own
free will and accord had made an APP
pointment for friend Bell to address
the people, and the editor was detailed
to escort him-and perhaps, dignity the
occasion as only a newspaper man cal
do when questions Of public welfare are
to be discussed.
Crossing the Cumberland at ,Sesrcy's
ferry about o'clock in the ey' min j,
we rode across the hills and vall' ps to
the hospitable home o; B. ]. Corbin,
ESQ, the clever gentleman who is now
q candidate for the legislature, On the
route we enjoyed some grand views,
embracing the magnificent scenery
blending Hill and vale and winding rlv.
er, all seen through the dreamy haze OF
October's tinted foliage. So captiva-
ting indeed was all the surroundings
that both of us felt more like reciting
Tennyson's Tears, Idle Tears" than re-
hearsing the woful story Of the robber
tariff and the iniquities OF the Blair
bill.
The meeting, which was we'll attend
ed by members Of the Bob Taylor Club
OF that district, was held in the school
house near Tarsus Church and two
hours were spent pleasantly, and we
hope probably, discussing the ques-
tions now exciting public interest.
The address Of Mr.. Bell was well pre-.
pared and delivered in his usual i'm.
pressive and impulsive manner and was
well received. We were entertained
most Hospitality by Esquire Corban and
his kind family, and returned home next
morning, crossing the Cumberland this
time at Palmyra, aplaee which although
blessed with both river and railroad
looks to-day strongly suggestive of it
namesake of the ofden time.

GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE.

There is no one who would not
shrink from the thought OF being
Immediately forgotten as soon as
he has shufiied off this mortal coil.
In every heart is the natural desire
to be remembered by survivors,
One would not have his exit froI
the world regarded with utter III
difference, and go entirely out OF
mind as he goes out Of sight. Nor
is it for evil deeds or evil neglecis
that he would desire to remain in
the recollection of those who knew
him. AS his features and form re-
appear in the memories of those
nearly connected with him in life,
he would have them think with
gratitude of what he did for their
comfort and happiness. For deeds
of kindness and love he would de-
sire to be remembered.
That this may be the case he
must do the good deeds, and act in
the pleasant ways that are like sun
shine to those about him, while he
has the opportunity. 1t would help
one to the right course in this to
think at times of the parting, and
to view his present actions and
modes OF speech in the light in
which they will be seen by those
of his own house who remain be-
hind after he has taken his last
Journey. Many harsh word might
thus be checked before it was ut
tered, and the life be made sweet,
beautiful and comely, meet to be
remembered with joy in its benef-
cence and with regret at its ending.
Lifeinsurance timely effected and
maintained, and bringing its bene-
fits after the departure of the
thoughtful husband and father who
secured it, is redolent Of grateful
memsries. In many instances it is
the only means of preserving the
family from the sore evils OF power
ty. 1t is saving. The comforts II
brings and continues reminds all in
the bereaved household of the ten
der care felt for them by him who
is gone. He often comes into theiI
thoughts as they receive the bene-
fits expressly purchased for them
by his kind provision and selfde
malls. Few men can gain lasting
fame; but very many can secure a
grateful remembrance with those
who of all on earth are most deaI
to them by the simple device of life
insurance.-IHSurdHce Critic.

A DRAFT ON THE CAR.

John G.. Christian, a lawyer Of
Chicago, transacted the major por'
tlon of Mr.. Honore's legal business,
in the dark days OF 1873. Dir.
Christian came into some nDtoFlety
in the Prohibition convention at
Pittsburg last year by nominating
st. John for the Presidency.
Prior to the Panic of 1873 Mr..
Honore held about S8,OOO,OOO or
go, ,000,O00of Chicago property, on
which he owed about $4,000, 600,
and no man in Chicago had better
credit. He carried a bank account
in st. Louis, where he also had the
confidence OF the wealthy capital
lists. During the squeeze Of 1873,
and near the first Of the year, he
was in st. Louis, and was in con.
versatiOn with the president of the
bank with which he did business.
"Mr. HOnore,p said the banker,
"your account is OverGrawn here
some s., 800, and as it is near the
first of the year we would be ex-
ceedingly obliged fyou would bal
ance the same to-day"
"It is impossible and out of the
question for me to do it to-day, and
the probabilities are that it will be
many more days before | CAM re-
turned Mr.. HOnore.
Well says the banker, " "cau't
you give a note, draw draft, do
something, just so the bookkeeper
can balance booksp
"Draw draft ! Who the ID
would | draw it on? l might as
well telegraph to the Gar of Rus.
sia for funds as to draw a draft
d" Well, Mr.. HonOre, draw a draft
on the Gar that will square the
books, and that's the main thing
just nOw."
So, after some conversation, q
sight draft for the amount was reg
ularly drawn and started OH its mis-
sion, and the proper credit given
Mr.. Honore. The draft passed
through many banking firms in this
and the Old country, and by the
time it reached the Gar it had
many blue ribbons and seals, be-
longing to the different institutions
through which it had passed.
1t was presented to the CzaI
through one of his agents, who de-
sired instructions what to do with
it. The Gar looked it over, but
could not understand how he came
to owe money to Mr.. HOnore, but
as every thing appeared regular he
instructed that it be paid, but told
his secretary to inform Mr.. Honort
the next time he drew a draft t.
send an itemized bill.
