the following: Mrs. A. II. Ingram of
Lower Oxford left home az 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Ingram was in
the garden and did not miss her for some

A New York correspondent writes /:
Times change, and men change with
them. On Saturday, Whiielaw Reid,
editor Of the Tribune, minister to France
and millionaire fsvorite of fortune, sailed
for his diplomatic post. Yesterday some
old friends got up benefit concert,
which they hope may net 81 900 for Mrs.
Esther Greeley observation-disclosures
Greeley's sister, and the wife of "0leve,"
the publisher of the Tribune in the days
of its most potential prosperity. The
contrast is very striking. Mr.. Reid,
however, must be given due credit for
his work in saying the Tribune from the
wreck into which Mr.. Greeley's political
course had made of its fortunes. The net
profits of the concern last year were
$4,000 in money besides all the in
crsase of prestige and opportunity that it
now enjoys,

argue that the men at Duluth and
Superior receive only 40 cents and have
announced their willingness to pay rates
prevailing at those ports. Longshoremeu
contend that 10 cents more should be
paid here because work is not SO steady
