H. E. Williams, junior member of Furry &
Williams, Ravenna's popular grocery firm, has
returned from months visit with his parents,
near Eldorado, Butler county, Kansas, reaching
this city last Thursday morning.
Leaving here on Erie train 3. the evening of
May 10Th, he had delightful journey to the
great western metropolis, Chicago. where he was
landed the next morning. So much has been
said and written concerning that place-its rap
id growth and phenomenal development from
dismal settlement in an Illinois marsh to one of
the foremost cities of the land-that he deems
any additional description almost superfuous.
OF the magnifcence of its buildings, their col
lossal size and colossal grandeur, he says no
words do justice. He made the most of his
limited opportunity in doing the windy city.
Taking a Rock Island train to Eldorado a
journey of fifteen miles lay between him and his
fathers residence, which was soon reached.
For month he gave himself up to the felicity
of rural recreations amid the attractions of a
warm salubrious climate, that was rapidly un-
folding every form of floral life fnto blossomed
fragrance and beauty. The physical character
istics of the country, he says, are much the same
as here, with the exception of our forests. The
land is rolling, and the soil of rich black color.
that on his fathers farm being fully 10 feet in
depth before any indications of hard pan are
seen. Its producing qualities are of course
much superior to that in Portage county. While
the prairies proper are destitute of trees, tht
river bottoms, and in fact the land adjacent tc
every stream of any Importance, is heavily tim
bered. He says there are trees on his father
} farm THAI would do credit to any Ohio forest.
Two weeks ago, Mr.. Williams SAYS, the farm
and corn was from two to three feet in height
after having suffered two severe frosts that re
tarded its growth very materially.

which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for law to sup

SAM SATAN.
A Georgia Negro with Wonder full
Appetite.

a Georgia Negro with a Wonder full
Appetite.
An Albany, Ga, dispatch to the
Atlanta Constitution says:
A tall negro all joints and angles.
His clothing is shabby and self.
sustained from frequent trudges
through the burrows of rich earth
turned up by the plow in the great
nelds of the cotton plantations in this
section.
A brand new helmet hat in navy
blue, which crowns head we'll COW
cred with wool, adds to the shabby
appearance, by its very newness and
gloss, of the garments with which his
body is clothed.
This is Sam Satan, one of the queer
characters which the oaky woods con-
tribute to the floating population OF
Albany upon Saturdays and holiday
occasions. Standing in his bare feet
he measures feet 6 inches in height.
Around his neck, suspended by a
red string, is hung for use as we'll as
ornament one of those singular wea-
pons of defense known as "brass-
'h"NShO' my % OIL "a
glisten in the sunlight.
He has no necessity for this instru-
ment of " arfare, for he is mighty in
strength and could floor an OK with
one well directed blow with his bony
fist.
He can carry four men, one on his
back, one held by each arm and one
by his teeth.
His appetite Is enormous. One day
the boys at Albany tested his capaci-
ty in that direction.
His meal consisted of the follow
ing:
Raw beef, 7 pounds.
Sausage meat, 2pounds.
Whisky, one pint.
Eggs, twenty-eight.
These were all devoured with great
relish, and, if pressed to further par
take, Sam could have managed to add
to his meal considerably.
Occasionally Sam gets to town,
where he remains two or three days
There is always crowd around him,
and he is never happier than when,
as modern Pan, he plays upon his
pipes, the queer reeds common to the
country darby of a generation ago.
He is an expert with these instru-
ments of music, and when seated up
on convenient dry goods box or
office step he tunes up, he finds him
self instantly the center of an adj
miring throng.
Sam is well acquainted with the
haunts and habits of the wild beasts
which inhabit the swamps and for
ests of the oaky woods, and young
offers, baby bslks and other youthful
animals bring a good price in the
Albany market when he stumbles
upon lucky find.

Ex-senator Bayard forcibly epitomized
the paramount issue in American politics
in speech last week when he characterized
it as contest between "Money and Man.
hood"
Money has won in two national cam
paigns, both Garfield and Harrison owing
their election to that corrupt agency, while
manhood achieved a signal victory in the
election of Mr.. Cleveland.
The statsment comes from Washington
through various reliable sources that the
Republican Congressional Committee has
all the money it wants, while so far the on
~ money received by the Democratic Com
mittee is the single contribution of Chair
man Flower.
The struggle between Money and Man
hood is still on. The former is active, az.
gressive and untiring. It has received sub
stantial benefits and concessions from the
Republican majority and is determined to
hold on to them by hook or crook, and to
strengthen the hands of the party that is
playing into its hands.
Is the party of Manhood-the party of
the people-equally active, aggressive and
determined? Are they as ready to do bat
tie for their rights and interests as the
monopolistic elements are for their privileges
and advantages?
1t doesn't look 80. Appearances may be
deceptive, but there is certainly an appear
ance of apathy. The Democracy should
wake up and get to work.-Lynchburg FIR

an educated Chinaman, who is in charge of
the electric light plant at Sewickley, Pa,

just been born. Ore of them has all the
features of a Monaghan, while the other
looks like a full.blooded Caucasian. The
mother 4% %hko was ida Newman, of Provi-
dence, R. Id is proud of her offspring
When seen at her home, on Duquesne
Heights, she said she felt slight disap.
pointment because both did not possess
Monaghan features. The future lives Of
the oddly-mated pair have already been
planned by the happy parents. Bert, who
looks like his father, will go to China as a
medical missionary if be shall live to reach
the proper age, and Alexander, his twin
brother, will probably be kept at home I'M
less he shall develop desire to accompany
Bert. Alexander is a lively little fellow,
and has light hair, blue eyes and fair com.
plexion, while Bert has coal-black hair, al.
mond eyes and genuine Chinese features. -
Mrs. Lee first met her husband at Provi-
dence, where che was teaching Chinese

and she fell in love with and married him.
