Two More Mysterious Fires.

Last Saturday evening Mr.. l.. A.
Ferguson's barn was burned, and it
MS filled with hay, fodder aud cotton
seed, II was a total loss. 1t was
situated in the corporate limits aud in
the same ncighbo,hood where two
other barns had recently been dcs-
iroyed,
On Sunday evening, between five
aud six o'clock, fire was discovered in
Judge Foote'S warehouse in rear of
his office and adjoining the sheds of
Mr.. j.. l.. Griggs's livery stable. The
warehouse was packed will, balcd hay
and was soon destroyed. Mr.. Griggs'
sheds were also soon DESTROYED, but
not altogether by the fire, Tor the pco-
pie seemed to spring from the ground,
aud they soon RACED the sheds and
saved the stable proper from burning.
Ii took the most strenuous cXertions
to Ito this and Mr., Griggs, no DOUBT,
feels grateful to the people for saving
him from greater loss. lie had two
car loads of corn in one of the sheds,
aud this was saved but in a damaged
condition. lie had insurance enough
to partly cover the loss.
No doubt these fires are the acts of
inccnaiaries. The idea OF spontane-
ous combustion would not hold good
before an intelligent jury.

Horse Blankets which are strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying they are "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then
are you to know?
norder that you cantella strong
blanket from a weak one, the man,
facturer of "a Horse Blankets
sews the above "a Trade Mark
inside of each blanket. This is a
guarantee that it is the strongest
blanket made for the money and
will wear well.
Many poor limitations have been
sold as "a blankets. Remember
none are genuine unless the
81 Trade Mark is sewed inside.

The Paradox Collector.

This person exists.
A reporter has met him in the flesh
has shaken hands with him, drunk with
him and been merry with him.
Barring his fad, he is a very decent
sort of fellow, but to be continually ask
ing such questions as:
Ibid you ever notice that your mother
in-law, i'll law is not your mother?
Has it ever occurred to you that al
though the good do young, there are pre-
cious few bishops under sixty?
"Have you observed that while honesty
is the best policy, it is about the only
kind you cannot get in the policy shops
Do you notice the lower you live in I;
fiat the higher Your rent?
"Have you ever heard thAs the bes
cheese is often the worst ?"
Isn't 1t curious that the more shop
ping there is done in the store tie less
storing there is in the shops ,"
And so on. forever, world ithout end
is distinctly tiresome, and for this reason
the collector of paradoxes should be
avoided.

A Prominent Merchant in Trouble

Old money bags mopeS i'll his office all day,
As snappiSh and cross as a bear:
The clerks know enough to keep out of his way.
Lest the merchant should grumble and swear
Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear of Il cuff,
Or kick, If she ventures too near;
They all know the master is apt to be rough,
And his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the Old fellow so surly aud grim.
And behave conioundly mean?
There's certainly something the matter with him
Is it his stomach, or liver. or spleen?
We've guessed this liver is sluggish and bad,
His blood is disordered and foul.
It's enough to make any one hoplessly mad,
And greet his best friend with growl.
The world wide remedy, DR.. Plerce's
Golden Medical Discovery, will correct
disordered liver and purify the blood
tone up your system and build up you
flesh and strength.
