fisherman. He takes special pleasure in
enhancing the enjoyment of those who

chez is full of fish.
In the latter part of May handsome
statue of Gen. Robert E.Lee will be un-
yelled at Richmond, Va, with appropri

We have on our table bunch of burr
clover, which was grown on Mr. B. Z.
Shirley's place, in Rock Mills Township.
Mr.. Shirley secured the seed from Texas,
and sowed it as an experiment. 1t grows
in the winter and dies in the summer, thus
affording fine pasture in the season of
the year when our farmers need it. Horses,
cattle and hogs eat it with relish, and it
may be harvested and cured for forage.
It grows very luxuriantly and reseeds
itself. We would like to soc several Of
our farmers give it trial, and let their
neighbors know the result.
Mr.. o. B. VanWyclz has ronted the

P. Hubbard, in NlcCully's block, and is

shoes, and in q few days will receive q
new stock from the factories. His pres
ent stock will be sold at cost He is fix
ing his establishment up in fine style, and
will keep everything in the shoe line. Mr..
VanWyck is young man of fine busi.
ness qualities, and we believe will build
up large trade. The readers of the IN
TELL1aENcEE will hear from him in a
short time.
On Thursday of last week Mr.. Afford X.
Mann was the victim Of one of the most
painful accidents we have ever heard of.
He was working in the shop with another
man. The latter lad heated sharp
pointed piece Of iron sparkling, red hot,
and turned quickly to the anvil to work it.
In turning, by some means Mr.. Mann's
right arm, just below the elbow, was
struck by this sparkling spike of iron,
which penetrated, going nearly through.
DR.. Duclzet was sent for Immediately, and
dressed the wound, and Mr.. Mann is now
able to go about. He says it is surprising
how easily hot iron can penetrate the
flesh.
