A more abundant fruit crop of
all kinds, was never known than the
present one. Cherries were to be
found in the greatest abundance,
and their market price was ridicu-
lously low. Strawberries and rasp-
berries were also plentiful. Apples,
pears, peaches, grapes and plums
are more than average crops, and
range at such prices as to be affor-
ded by all. With plenty of fruit
stored away, the outlook for the
winter need not he a dismal one.

~The Democratic campaign
book, prepared under the auspices of
the Democratic Executive Commit
ee, is now in the hands of the prin-
ter, and will soon be ready for dis
tribution. The committee has not
resorted to the Republican methods
of levying assessments upon office
holders for their campaign expenses,
nor has any officeholder in the Uni
ted States been requ ested to contrib
ute q cent. Such contributions have
in no case heen received. The book
will contain a spicy review of the
past administration of the Govern
ment under Republican rule, and
will discuss number of subjects of
contemporaneous Importance. 1t
will contain an exhaustive history
of former abuses of the Pension Of
flee and of the prostitution to party
ends of THE bureau, which was or
ganized for the dispensation of the
peoples money to the peoples sol
diery.
1t will contain discussion of the
squandering of the public domain
by the Republican party, and of the
recent movements inaugurated by
Democrats to restore it to the orig
inal owners, the people. 1t will dis
cuss the Civil Service as abused
heretofore and as administered by
President Cleveland 1t will contain
valuable matter touching the admin
istration of the Land Office and the
conduct of the Indian. affairs. 1t
will be valuable in the discussion of
labor problems, containing a chap
ter on that subject and on the re-
cent legislation affecting it. 1t will
discuss past delinquencies OF respon-
sible officers and agents Of the Gov

of abuses in that line.
1t will contain summary of the
action of the last Congress touching
matters of Importance to the people,
and make a fair exhibit of the re-
suits accomplished. 1t will give a
history of the war ON the President
by the Senate and the surrender by
that body of the false issue which it
had raised for political ends. In
short, the book will be fair and
truthful presentation of political
matters. The committee is not in

DRowNED.-On last Friday morn
ing intelligence was brought to this
place of the death by drowning of
Miss Libbie Craig, daughter of Jos.
Craig, who resides near town. From
what we can learn, the particulars
are about as follows:
On last Friday morning, another
daughter of Mr. Craigs was on the
hillside just above the house, and
saw Libbie leave the house and go
towards the run. AS she frequently
went there to perform her morning
ablutions, no particular attention
was paid to this fact. The little
girl on the hillside started to APP
proach the house, and for a short
time, lost sight of Libbie. But on
a nearer approach, happening to
glance in that direction, she was
Mortified to see her, lying face down
wards in the water. She at once
raised the alarm and on the family
proceeding to the place, they found
life was extinct. The unfortunate
girl was of a weak mind and had
been subject to fits for some time
1t is supposed that while bathing
her face, she was taken with fit
and not being able TO call for help
fell forward into the water and thus
died. No inquest was held, as the
facts in the case proclaimed deatl
by accidental drowning.
{ The funeral. took place ut II
o'clock a. N. on last Saturday.. a

family have the sympathy of th'
entire community.

A Belmont County Farmer Takes His
Own Life.

Eli B. Mathews, a bachelor farmer,
about 50 years of age, committed
suicide, at his home, near Warnocks
Station, Belmont county, yesterday
He lived with John Barrett, an un-
Gle of Auditor Barrett, who married
a niece of Matthews. The cause of
the suicide is not stated. Matthews
ate his dinner as usual yesterday,
and in the afternoon went out and
no one thought anything about him
until he failed to show up in the
evening. Search being made he
found hanging to a beam in the barn,
life entirely extinct. Matthews was
a very wealthy man, owning not less
than three large farms in this coun-
ty and having considerable money
besides. He was an eccentric sort
of man, was never particular about
having his land titled, so that his
farms are very rich soil. Despon-
dency was the prime cause of the
suicide, it is supposed. He had a
large swelling on his neck and was
getting old, and being of a miserly
disposition it was grinding on him
to part with money for his happiness
and comfort.-Register 27th inst.
