DIR. III. A. McChesney is settling up
his business affairs here and will de

himself. The doctor has enjoyed u
very good business here.
The Audubon county normal insti-
tute will be held at Audubon, commenc.
ing Monday, August 9Th, and continue

pass and lIurd, and will also have as.
sistance from abroad, though negotia-
tons are not completed.
Audubon has never presented such
a deserted appearance rs on the fourth.
business was suspended and the crowd
that usually gives the appearance of
life on Sundays was mingling with ex-
cited throngs elsewhere. Audubon will
do well to rouse up its patriotism next
year, and hold celebration open to the
county and which will be a little more
extensive and glorious than anything
In the west.
W. A. Jump went to Harry Travis
and started Plano Binder with three
horses and cut and bound around 81
acre field of grain without missing u
bundle or sweating horse. lie also
went out to Cowden's and started q
Triumph Binder six and half foot cut

DIR. j. ID. Holmes was unable to fill
his engagement ut Davidson's grove,
Douglas township, July It'll. He was
called to lIamlin township in the fore
noon and did not again arrive In town
until nearly 3 In the afternoon. II was
annoying to the doctor and we dare say
II disappointment to the audience, rs he

lie speakers, but the demands upon the
medical fraternity are imperative, and
afford excuse for the failure of Its devo-
tees to meet less important engage,
ments.
Faith, the four year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Funk was severely
burned last Saturday night. She was
playing about the table where q woman
was ironing, and just as an iron had
been taken hot from the stove she ran
against, the Hat side laying over her
eye aud cheek. DIR. &. W. Denote was
called and has been doing all that Is
possible to relieve the suifcrings of the
little one, but ut this time the extent
of the damage to the eye can not be es-
timated. 1t will be hoped, however
that the unfortunate little one will ful.
ly recover from the injury,
The night blooming cereus IN the
drug store of VIM. Cloughly put forth
another flower Monday night. The
flower expanded much more fully than
the one of two weeks previous, and was
pronounced fine specimen. Word
was despatched over the city and hun.
dreds locked to view the wonderful
flower. When II had attained Its great.
est expansion 1t was taken from the
stem and placed In alcohol for preser.
walton though very imperfect idea Of
its natural beauty can be gained by
looking ut the preserved flower. The
third bud on the plant was destroyed
by an accident.
The indications are that that old
wheel horse Of democracy, VIM. Mallory
will not have u walk away for the nom.
nation for sheriff, but that having serv-
ed two terms, majority factions In his
party believe he ought to retire In favor
of u new man. 1t is authoritively ri
morcd that Deputy sheriff Crane, Of
Extra, and Isaac Reed, Of Viola town
ship, will ask the party's favor for this
nomination. The preferences Of the
south part of the county we have not
learned, but 1t IL quite certain that Mr.,
Reed viii come into the convention
with the northern townships well or
ganized. Mr. Mallory, however, has
been electioneering for four years, aud
1t viii require tall hustling TO suppress
him.
The glorious fourth was more gener.
ally celebrated In Audubon county than
ever before. Our correspondents give
good reports Of the observance Mt Extra,
at .Iohnston's Grove, Musson's Grove
and elsewhere. There were 50 many
celebrations that none Of them were ut.
tended by very large crowds aud tho
unanimous verdict Is that the day was
much more enjoyable for that reason.
Accidents were less frequent because
every American citlseR had the freedom
NJ elbow roam, and that boon he most
needs on the fourth, One OF the most
pleasant gatherings was at Mrs. Bea.
sons grove, where the Sunday schools
of Viola and Melville were congregatcd.
Addresses were delivered by Revs. Dick
inson, Harris and Mercer of Audubon
and by Rev. Hfantham, NJ hedham.
The citizens Of Braytop and vicinity,

the day was given up to basket dinners,
wi,6r6 every bpdy sat q basket full, to
dancing and athletic sports, for which
latter liberal prizes were offered. \
declamatory contest by little slels was
an entertaining feature, the prize given
by Druggist G. l.. Bison being won by
Miss Lottie IBrinkerhof. There was
not the first instance of disorder to
