Several of our exchanges have spoken
of q child being born In this county,
minus one arm and one leg, and remark
that it is healthy and growing nicely.
There is no mention rs to its parontage
or place of residence, and rs nothing is
known of the facts in this bailiwick,
we shall have to ask our esteemed con-
temporaries for bill of particulars.
Sheriff Mallory Is a stickler for pro.
priety. When the mercury fingered
down about the thirties last winter, he
derived some degree Of warmth by
looking upon his cutter respondent In
crude red paint, but in this year Our
William is In harmony with the season
and has his gothic swell body painted a
deep green. Verify, he leads the styles.
The eclipse on New Years Day was,
we presume, witnessed by every body,
and was one of those instances whose
reputation cannot be extended by men
ton in :. county journal. 1t was an in
teresting sight, and shed light similar
though of course much stronger, than
the electric light, much more pleasing
than the spectral light of the eclipse of
1869.
j. r. Sovereign has been appointed
state lecturer for labor organization.
If the appointment Is in recognition
If the appointment is in recognition of
his abilities to discourse more bosh in
two hours than any man In the state it
is decidedly appropriate. We presume
he is still arguing that man or woman
ought to carried to Chicago as cheaply
! as hog.
Rev. VIM. Mercer has just concluded
q five weeks session of protracted
meetings in the Melville township M.
| +. church and has been most literally
rewarded for his labors. Last Sunday
fourteen new members were taken into
the church, making total Of twenty
five as direct result of the meetings.
Rev. Mercer Is an earnest and devoted
worker and enjoys the respect and con-
fdence of the people.
Miss Laura Miller, eldest daughter of
Mrs. b. +. Miller, died at her late home
in Melville township, last Saturday,
aged about fifteen years, of consump-
ton. The funeral was held Sunday,
Rev. J. B. Harris conducting the ser,
vices. For the third time in two years
death has resulted from this insiduOus
disease within this family circle. The
bereaved ones have the sympathy of
many friends in their aflliction..
The Mackey Basket Picnic company
advertised to appear at Russell's last
Friday and Saturday evenings were un'
able to meet the engagement. While
at Lake City the star lady was taken
with diphtheria. Complimentary press
notices have followed the company
and it is probable that Audubon lost q
a good entertainment by their misfor-
tune. This office has some tickets of
admission which may 90 at "a discount.
