this county, which occurred at Knox.
vile, Ohio, August %. Col. Smith
was resident of this county for many
years, living most Of the time at Hum.
boldt where he was engaged In the
newspaper business and In the prac.
tice Of law, and although Ia many re.
spects of an cratic disposition he yet
possessed a genial cordiality Of manner
that won him many friends who will
learn with genuine sorrow of his death.
He was brilliant man intellectually,
alert, quick witted and one Of the best
impromptu speakers, on any subject,
We ever knew. He was q man OF
decided views, views which often
seemed to the ordinary mind utterly
illogical and unreasonable, and yet he
defended them with such eloquent
earnestness and at the same time with
such kindly courtesy that he rarely, II
ever, made an enemy out of his OppO.
nent, and among those who most sin.
cerely mourn his death are those who
never agreed with him upon any OF
the great questions which agitate
mems minds. The world Is poorer
when such q man dies.
The newest game, says an exchange
takes the form of an information party
and is begun by passing to each gen.
tlemap and to the ladies small pieces
of paper, which should be numbered.
Those who discover the same number
on their card and paper are partners
for the game. Each couple must think
of q question, sensible or ridiculous,
historical or In regard to the weather,
to be written on the cards, after which
the cards are to be gathered together,
and the leader reads each In turn, Civ
ing few moments for the partners to
consider the subject and write the ans.
wer, which should be read aloud In
return. This lie where the fun of the
game begins, as many of the answers
are exceedingly queer. Those having
q correct answer mark their card 10; q
wrong answer 0, and II the answer is
anywhere near right, 1t Is counted 5.
When all are added, prizes may be
distributed as In progressive games

Colony Free Press: Hon. A. C..
Scott, editor of the Oklahoma City
Journal, the best paper in that terri
tory, was up from lola on Sunday at.
tending to some business with the eli.
tor of the Free Press; having come up
from Oklahoma on a visit to friends.
He has most excellent reputation in
that new country as a fine writer, a
conservative reliable editor and a
young man of very much more than
average ability. He is making his
mark in the affairs of Oklahoma, and
we miss our guess if his advice is not
sought and acted upon In the forma.
ton of the fundamental matters In the
mans, for he Is known to be clear
sighted and reliable, and does not al.
low his prejudices to warp his judg.
ment. Keep your eye on him and note
his future career.
A friend informs us that certain part.
les are reporting that in his address at
Hosley's Grove on the Fourth Of July
the editor Of this paper declared that
members of the F. NJ. B. A. deserved
in the main to be classed as anarchists.
1t would seem hardly necessary to
contradict so silly a report. But In
order that nobody may be able to re.
peat it hereafter without the positive
consciousness that he IL lying, we will
say that the editor of this paper never
made such q statement at Hosley's
grove or elsewhere, Oh the Fourth of
July or at any other time. Anyone
curious to know what he did say will
be cheerfully furnished with a copy of
the aforesaid address upon application
to this Office.
Leander Stillwell, a citizen of Erie
trict, has "got his.name in the paper"
The Erie Record of last week contain
ed the following item: "Judge Still.
we'll left some delicious peaches at our
office last week, which for size and
beauty can hardly be excelled;at least.
they were the largest we have seen
this season." Citizen.
Such Partially on the part Of q Judge
will never do. If Leanler Stillwell
wants to continue to sit on q plain
bench instead of going back to an
upholstered office chair, he must pass
those peaches around.
There was a terrible epidemic Of
dysentery and bloody flux in Pope

day. Messrs. Walter Brothers, of
Waltersburg, sold $50 bottles Of Cham.

never heard of its failing IN any case
when the directions were followed. 1t

cure the worst cases. Many persons
were cured by il after the doctors had
given them up. % and 50 cent bottles

Upon returning home last Tuesday

covered boy in the alley close to his
barn and when he got to the barn he
was met at the door by larger boy
who in his haste to leave dropped q
chicken. Out of consideration for their
parents the names of the boys are
withheld for the present, but they are
known, and any further pilfering will
be reported to the officers.
Lacking space to give a full report
of the concert at the Opera House last
Friday evening, we may say in brief
that it was . very pleasant and sue
cessful entertainment. The singing
of Miss Wilson and Mrs. Cowden was
especially enjoyed, and We hope to
have both the ladies with US at some
future time.

the things lola may be proud of.
