Build up Your Home.

10 community ever became
wealthy or Independent by pur-
chasing abroad that which could
be as cheaply furnished at home.
Merchants, traders and other mid
die men may probably become
wealthy through this policy, but
the people at large will. become
poorer and poorer. For a long
while our people have been run
mad on timber and we have: been
to a large extent depending on
the Cincinnati market for our
srair, our bacon and for all the.
necessaries Of life. In this line,
however, the people ere at last
awakening up to their interests,
andwe are timbering less and
making more of our provisions at
home, but in other things we are
notlmproving and thousands OF
dollars annually find their way to
the Ohio river for supplies which
should be made and furnished at
home. Logan G. II. is village OF
about four hundred inhabitants.
We have ten stores, all of which
are doing a good business. We
have a good supply of physicians
and lawyers, &c, but we have no
: wheelright, no timer, no saddler,
ho@harnessmaker, no shoemaker,
no cabinetmaker, no tannery, and
IN fact, no artisan of any kind ex-
cept a carpenter or two and a
couple of blacksmiths. Sober and
Industrious persons of any Of the
above trades are badly wanted
here, and we are also in need Of a
good planning mill and other in
dlstries to supply the needs of
the people.

On last Saturday, morning the
residents Of Maple Meadow creek.
were shocked to find that the res
ldence Of Mrs. Mary Cazort had
been entirely consumed by fire
on Friday night, and the shock
became greater when the bones
OF Mrs. Cazort and her son Joplin
gentleman Of some thirty years
Of age, we're found in the ashes.
The bones Of Mrs. Cazort were
found in about two
feet OF the fireplace and about
ten feet from where her bed
stood, and the remains Of gun
which showed that it was cooked,
was laying across the bone Of her
arm, which showed that she had
died trying to defend her nome.
the bones Of her son were found
about two feet from those of the
mother. The Cazorts were very
industrious people, and 1t was
supposed that they had about
eight hundred dollars in money
in the house, and that in the still
ness of the night they were at
tackled for the purpose of robbery,
which eliminated in their muir
der, and finally in the burning Of
the house to ,obliterate all traces
OF the perpetration of the crime.
Three dollars in silver was found
near the place where the bed
stood upon which the son usually
slept, and It is thought by this
circumstance that he had retired
for the night and that the money
found had been in his pockets
and overlooked by the .fends.
The eyes of the neighbors are on
several suspicious characters, and
it is hoped that the guilty parties
will be found, and that Raleigh
will soon have another hanging.

Coil Famine in Minneapolis.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 23-There is great soft
coal famine in Minneapolis Dealers have
been flying around at lively rate all the
week trying to meet connections. The
Touring mills have been living from hand
to mouth for several days past, and there
is no prospect of any Improvement in
their condition for ten DAYS or more. The
scarcity is caused by the wheat blockade
or the line between there and Duluth
Hundreds of cars of coal are sde-tracked at
Duluth and Superior, the switch engines
having more than they can do to keep the
wheat cars moving. All energy is being
used TO keep the whaat trains from block
ing. One Minneapolis firm is l, 800 cars be-
hind on its order. Chicago is taking all the
Illinois coal, and this, with the fact of the
strike among the miners in Indiana, cut the
local dealers off from all supply except Du-
luth. Small consumers are unable to get
their orders filled.

on the charge of abducting Miss Rosabell
Teetzel from st. Thomas. Miss Teetzel is
at the hotel, and as she is 81 years old the
minister cannot be held on the charge
Nelson and Miss Teetzel came to the hotel
together. The latter was clad in morning
wrapper and had no luggage. They regis
tered under their proper names and in their
conduct toward each other have been
scrupulously circumspect
Mr.. Nelson says that he married Miss
Olive Weiss in Centerville, ILL.,, q year ago
and lived with her three days, when they
agreed to separate. He went to Bayham
and fell in love with Miss Teetzel Last
Friday he invited her to take ride and
she, clad in her wrapper, went with him.
They were gone longer than they intended
to be, and Miss Teetzel feared to return and
explain TO her friends her prolonged ab-
sence in such costume. He took her to
ST. Thomas, whence she was to return home
the next morning, while he was to proceed
TO Illinois to get divorce. They did not
intend to elope, both say, but Miss Teetzel
was unwilling to be left alone, and they
finally decided to seek some small Western
town where she might teach and he preach
until he should get divorce and be able to
marry her. Miss Teetzel is highly con-
nected and has two brothers who are promi-
nent at the Ontario bar.
