James Davis family, who resides
in the 9th dist, is greatly afflicted.
On Wednesday last they buried a
son, younger daughter is not ex.
pccted to recover, and the mother
and two sons are still confined to
their beds. Dysentery is said to be
the disease with which they are af.
fiicted, though it is thought that
dis order of the kidneys was the cause
of the sons death. This family
should have the sympathy and assist
ance of their neighbors.
A very large crop of apples is re-
ported in this part of the country
and the cider mills are busy making
the crop into cider which will be
largely converted into apple butter,
drank, wasted and turned to vinegar.
Where the crop is more economically
consumed the cider is converted
into jelly, the best of apples are
evaporated or stored in cold rooms
for winter. market.
Mrs. j. D. Zehnder and Mrs. Mary
Olemstead were thrown from their

Meeting House and both severely
injured. Mrs, Olemstead was cut
and bruised about the face and head
and Mrs. Zehnder was hurt on the
arm and side and her Injuries were
so painful that she tainted in the
carriage after being driven home.
TIE horse frightened and ran the
buggy upon bank which overturned
it.
The leaves refuse to succumb to
the bite OF Jack frost, and retain
almost their original greenness. 1t
is not the frost which clothes the
autumn wood in their beautiful hues,
but the ripening of the leaves as flow
of sap slackens. The present fall has
been season of continuous cloudy
and wet weather and the foliage has
been supplied with an abundant flow
of sap and kept in vigorous grow
ing condition. The young wood will
not ripen well and if severe winter
follows, this unrire wood will suffer
severely and fruit trees are liable to
be badly winter killed in their tender
shoots.
A special train was run from
Oxford to Elkton for the Republican
Mass Meeting at the latter place on
Thursday. The train left Rising
Sun at $50, with 1913 passengers
from this station. The 9th district
club headed by the Rising Sun band
playing that inspiring tune .'Massa's
in the cold, cold ground" The
republicans claiming that it was
Cleveland's funeral march they were
keeping step to. while the democrats
insisted that it was Massa Harrison's
requiem the band was playing.
Only two passengers shipped from
Oxford and one from Sylmar. Thirty
seven joined the excursion at Colors.
We overheard the other day quite
a compliment paid the genial prop
rietor of Stone Run mill, by one of
our citizens who is a judge in the
matter of grain, -four and farm pro.
ducts generally. The compliment
Was that the best bread he had eaten
since he had lived in Rising Sun was
made of -four ground at the old time
mill recently. The old time buhr
mill when competent miller directs
the grinding turns out the most
nutritious product for wholesome and
keeping quality bread, but it is not
so '0hite; hence tine goddess of the
kitchen taboos the rich tinted -four
for then ew process with the pallor
of thetomb stone.
