Had the pleasure Of hearing a sermon
by Elder Reynolds on Sunday in the new
church in Pleasant Prairie, and nice
church it is, and very nicely fitted up.
The Elder took text recently preached
from by Talmage, but he did not preach
Talmage's sermon. There was large
audience and good Sabbath school,
with fine old folks Bible class. Now
if the folks will have the lot round the
church cleaned up and made to look
nice it will attract sinners, most likely.
We are too careless mere about church
grounds and grsveyards. Hope we
shall improve in these things.
Mr.. Will Shepard has come home to
visit his parents.
perance last Sunday, but the rain pre-
vented it.
Two lady relatives of ]. M. Kellogg
are visiting here.
Mrs. A. Benedict, of Waukegan, was
up to see her brother and other friends
last week. i
Thus far small grains have yielded.
better than was expected. Mr.. G.. O.
Vincent had field of barley, actual
measurement 81 acres, that yielded 423
bushels per acre.
! Mr.. and Mrs. III. HI. Tarbell came out
on the train on Thursday. That was
the third time they came to attend the
old settlers picnic. This time it proved
a success. Three times and out. They
returned to Kenosha on Saturday, and
were guests at Mr. s. E. Tarbell's during
their stay here.
The Benedict bridge ON the Geneva
road is completed, and has taken the
travel for more than week past.
Frequent showers delay the stacking
of the grain, but we shall doubtless have
dry weather again if we wait. Surely
complaining will not help the matter.
Mr.. Pomeranki's only daughter died
OF consumption on Monday.
On Sunday at the Congregational
church Rev. Ogilvie gave an admirable
temperance sermon. When the pulpit
is right on great moral question it is
not long before its constituency get on
the right side.
The Young Peoples Society of Chris
tan Endeavor of the Congregational
church met on Sunday evening and dis.
cussed the question Of Preparation for
work."
Mrs. D. w. Burgess, of Chicago, is Wis
iting her sister, Mrs. D. M. Ogilvie, and
her mother. Mrs. Kaye, at the parsonage.
Henry eager left here on Monday on
orders to 60 to Chicago to resume his
situation.
The old settlers had two things in their
favor last Friday. It was fine day and
it rained the day before, so threshing or
stacking could not be done. There was
a large turnout, and everybody had q
good time. Cordial hand.shakes and
friendly greetings were the order of the
day, and no long speeches.
Clubs are quite the rage now, so they
have baby club in Paris. The candi-
dates are balloted for with candies.
White, yes; chocolate cream, no. So,
that the admission of candidate will
depend on the taste of the members.
The editors do not believe maneuver-
ing for Office is right thing. OF course
not; but very few get Office without do
ing so, or will for some time.
A large surprise party will take place
on Nov. 9th. It will be as much of q
surprise as the catching Of Guy Fawkes
was to the British parliament.
If all the low tariff men were in one
party and all the high tariff men in the
other we might see fair stand-up fight,
but it is SO mixed up that it is only a
spell of lodging, the striker being afraid
OF hitting in the wrong place.
It is funny that free trade England
collects about 500, 100000 year in
custom duties; but don't you see what
the rich want from other countries they
pay tariff on, but what the POOR man
needs comes in free.
Up to date items do not turn up. II
could tell about the weather. but your
readers know just as much as do about
the rain, and some of them more; so to
fill up will touch on statistics. The
United Kingdom sent out last year
General laborers, 8O,232; agricultural
laborers, 23,431: mechanics, 18,463;
professional men, merchants and SER
wants, 14,1O4; farmers and grazers, 12,-
214; domestic and farm servants and
nurses, 81, 275; milliners, dressmakersl
and sewing girls, 1886. And she could |
spare as many more and net be short |
handed.
A large number Of persons seem to |
think 1t is a mistake about intoxicating |
drinks always injuring drinkers, and
point to men who live to be eighty and |
ninety years Of age that have used them
all their lives. But they do not ask how
long they would have lived if they had |
not drank the stuff. This error arises
from the opinion that the Bible teaches
US that three-score- and-ten is about the |
limit of human life. But the Bible |
teaches no such thing. Moses, referring
to the people sentenced to die in the |
wilderness for refusing to enter Canaan;
The days of our years are three-score
years and ten," and he says, We are
consumed by thy anger" etc, and the |
psalm in on the subject, and has no re-
ference to the age of man in general. |
So ask how long would the topper have
lived If he had not drank There are /
men fond of statistics on curious sub
jects and here is one on drinkers, show
ing the average time it takes to kill .
man by the use of the stuff, and the fact
that It takes longer to kill beer topper
than any other kind ought to have due |
weight: Beer alone, % years; distilled
spirits alone. ~ years; beer and spirits,
