Jones, Dickey & Co., have a wind
mill set up across the street from
their implement house, where it
may be seen in operation bys those
looking to the purchase Of that mod
ern convenience Of the farm. It
moves as smoothly as clockwork, and
receives the universal commentator
of those who take the pains to cx.

IL. p. Albert returned from the
state meeting of the Knights Of
Pythias, at Davenport, last Friday,
and he speaks in high praise of the
good people of Davenport tor the
royal manner in which they enter
tanned the visiting Knights. Mr..
Albert was made official reporter
for the meeting, and in the closing
proceedings was elected Special
Deputy for the ensuing term Of one
year. This honor Of the society is
well placed, for in the broad state
we doubt if there is one more deeply
interested in the good Of the order,
or who is more Jealous worker in
the cause. Mr.. Albert is connected
with fourteen secret societies, and
comedies that upon the subject he is
OF crank, but it may be
assured that none of them will fall
into "innocuous desuetude" while
the irrepressiblc "Pinkey" is in
active membership.
Joshua Jordan, son of Samuel
Jordan, is home on furlough from
service in the y. S. Navy. He has
served two terms, of three years
each, and has been granted after
each term furlough of three months.
AT the end of three years service a
member is paid for his full term and
granted a three months furlough,
with the option Of returning or quit.
ting the service. He is quite pleased
with the life of a sailor, and in six
years experience has found no more
hardships than attend the allotment of
man in any Of the various avocations
of lite. The discipline is of necessity
severe, but the old stories that told
of inhuman Hoggings of sailors, of
as frequent occurrence as the applica-
ton OF the rod in district schools
have no foundation in fact in
the navy of today. Mr.. Jordan has
had much valuable experience in
the service and his travels have i'm
pressed him with the expanse Of the
world. The wages paid are about
equal to those Of the farm hand, but
are not usually paid until the end Of
the term, when goodly sum has
accrued. He has not yet determined
as to whether he will return to the
service.
The late Joseph McFadden died
without testament, but the heirs
