At Tilton recently while Mrs.
Greer, the wife of w. R. Greer, one
Of the county commissioners, was
walking in the yard at home, she
accidentally stepped upon a nail
protruding from a piece of plank.
The sharp pointed iron passed
through the sole of her shoe, and,
sinking deep into her foot, made a
wound which resulted in blood-poi-
soning and lockjaw, and from which
the unfortunate lady died last week
after several days of the most in
tense suffering. a. ~ ~
A woman in st. Louis, who iden-
tilted a body in the morgue there as
that of her husband, from whom she
has been separated for years, buried
the remains. The funeral was an
expensive one, and the widow was
greatly commended for what she had
done. 1t now turns out, however,
that she made a mistake. Her hus-
band has turned up alive and well,
and having learned that his ex-wife
had buried him in style, he called
on her to express his thanks. No
body knows who the dead man is.
He was picked up dead in the street,
and papers found in bis clothes lead
to the supposition that his name is
J. J. O'Connor.
What is the use for the editors to
be always hammering ON this ques-
ton when men with a thimble full of
brains ought to know it, without be-
ing forever and eternally told about
it. Don't talk about what the town
you live in ought to have, what it
needs, ETC., but go to work, and put
your money into it and make things
hum. Please don't say that you
know nothing in the world about
manufacturing and that is your rea-
son for not going in. Why, sirs.
