now. The jury that tried ID. NJ. Circle

and after hearing the testimony and the
argument, it only took them about five
minutes to decide on verdict of not
guilty; and their verdict seems to be
the popular verdict in this vicinity; at
least thus ends another long and expen-
sive piece of litigation for the county to
foot the bill. :. j. d. Keller started to
Chicago Tuesday to have his eyes treat
eG. He has been nearly blind for sew
eral weeks past. :. %. F. Mason after a

postmistress at this place, left for st.

greatly missed by those who have been
so long accustomed to receive their mail
from her hands. Last Wednesday
night some one stole a bride from
Frank Flowers stable and Thursday

There is some talk of prosecuting one
Of our citizens for cruel treatment of his
family, and there seems to be some
grounds for the complaint The meet
ing Is still in full blast at the Christian
church. The indications are that they
will not let up as long as there is any
material tor them to work on and there
is whole winters Job for them right In
this vicinity. We have for the last 4
years heard lots OF complaint in regard
to the county treasurer's Office. The
principal cause beng the long waits for
a reply after writing for advice. but
this fall we write and mail our letters
one day and get our reply the next.
That looks like business, and we are
willing to give credit where credit is
due by saying that E. B. Peck is max
ing us the best treasurer we have had
since we have been in the county.
