They did not seem to have even
single hayseed among the whole
lot, but they were interested in
agriculture at the same time. Not
single word was said about the
future of the Farmers Alliance,
and yet, strange as it may seem,
they we're still interested in agricul-
ture. This is paradoxical. but
true. 1t would be hard even in
Washington at present, when
scientific meetings are so plentiful
as blackberries, a more active and
energetic body of men. They
were the members of the Associa-
ton of American Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations,
holding their fifth annual conven-
tion, and the results of their discus
sions reach from one end of the
country to the other.

Pluvius, was given a severe jolt

The Editor in a Pulpit.

Printer is hardly considered synomi-
nous with preacher and pulpit, yet the
three were united last Sabbath at
Limestone Lutheran Church. The
writer happened to be Lutheran, and
hearing that Rev. Mr.. Harr preached
at the above-named church every third
Sunday, went down 10 listen to good,
old-feshioned Lutheran discourse. He
was disappointed, as we'll as quite a
large congregation. Bro. Harr was
taken Ill few days ago, and on that
account was unable to be present.
The printer was asked to take charge
OF the services, which he did TO the ex-
tent Of his ability. o8
1t has never been our privilege to
meet more cordial and hospital peo-
pie as the residents of that locality
proved themselves to be. After the
service, we received, in the space Of
five minutes, five different invitations
to dinner. Not being able to accept
them all (even printers capacity for
good things is limited), we had che
pleasure of accepting the liberal hos.
pitality Of Mr.. W. A. Hancher.

An AerOnaut'S Death.

A terrible accident occurred at Coney
Island, N. Y, ON Saturday last. Miss
Anna Harks, noted aeronaut. came
before an audience of nearly 1000 peo-
pie to accomplish the feat of ascend
ing in balloon and descending at the
end of parachute. The balloon as
cended TO height of $500 feet. The
descent was begun when she was 800
feet from the earth. She lost her hold
when about 500 feet in the air, and she
was dashed to terrible death. Miss
Harkes struck in Alex Koehler's nut
meg patch, about half mile from the
Coney Island grounds, a hundred yards
north of the New Richmond pike, a
short distance east from the village of
California. The body presented
horrible sight. Not bone but what
was broken. She must have fallen on
her head, for it was torn and shattered
beyond recognition. Only the right
ear and portion of the cheek were
distinguishable, ghastly hole show
ing the place that once her pretty feat
ures graced. Blood and brain matter
covered the ground about, and as the
men who had first hastened to the spot
gazed upon the lifeless, mangled re-
mains their hearts sickened with ter
ror. Farmer Koehler, John Carey,
Abe Fiskey and julius Amer were the
first by the body's side, and pitingly
they covered it with white cloth, that
concealed the spectacle.

A Sudden Marriaae,

The friends of Miss Minnie Bayless, Of

learn Sunday morning that she had
been married. 1t twas surprize also
to the parents of the young lady. The

of Broylesville. The young people
met at the Sunday school picnic held at
strorg's Springs Saturday, and from
there went to the house of the BRIDES

ton College, where they were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony. All

probable that the public may profit by
his visit in the way of book. The

pervade many of the sacred books. In
his famous tribute to the memory of
Ben Hill, he offended many orthodox
people by the views he more suggested
than expressed with regard to the fu-

life to your mother, the best friend you

1t was an excellent sign that both

GEORGE JONES.

George Jones, the great New York
editor, departed this life Thursday,
August 18.
The story of George Jones life is the
story of the founding and building
up of the New York Times. Although
Mr.. Jones had reached the age of forty
when he joined Henry j. Raymond in
establishing the Times, and had already
made his way to success and q COM
petence in other business enterprises,
his earlier inclinahons had brought
him into the field of New York journal
ism, and his return to it as a founder
and publisher Of the Times wvs but
the fulfillment Of his youthful ambi-
tions. And from the day when the
first copy of the Times was issued
to the day of his death Mr.. Jones has
devoted to it, to the exclusion Of all
other interests and affairs, his undivided
time and energies. His success has
been the success of the journal he has
controlled
The story ofhis youth is the familiar
story of slender means and hard toll.
His father and mother died when he
was thirteen years old, and he was
left to make his own way and take
care of himself in the world. Mr..
Jones, before he was fourteen years
old, became clerk and errand boy in
the store of Geo. Bliss, at Poultney,
Me. Atabout the same time Mr.. Bliss
took into the composing-room of his
newspaper, the Northern Spectator,
as printers apprentice, a boy named
Horace Greeley, who was to serve him
five years, be boarded and lodged, and
after the first six months was SO receive
forty dollars year. The lads became
friends and playmates at once and

renewed not many years later in New
York City, continued, with only such
Interruptions as are natu1el and per-
haps inevitable in the Iivalries of
journalism, to the time of Greeley 8
death.
1t was in 1888 that Mr.. Jones came
to New York. Mr.. Greeley had pro-
ceded him by two years, At was in
the business of Horace Greeley 3
Tribune that Mr.. Jones became first
connected with journalism.
Just as his youthful acquaintance
with Greeley, formed in the Vermont
village some seventeen years earlier,
had nodded the beginning of his
career in New York, so his friendship
with Henry j. Raymond, BEGINNING
while the one was employed
in the business office and the
otherin the editor Groom of the Tribune,
was destined speadly to ripen into
intimacy, confidence and m, tual
respect, and later to bring them into
business partnership in the founding
and management of the New York
Times.
Upon the death of Mr.. Raymond,
Mr.. George Jones became the response
BILE head of the New York Times, in con-
troll of its business management and
editorial policy. A complete history of
Mr.. Jones management of the Times
during the three years following Mr..
Raymond's death would of necessity
include history of the Tweed ring
broken and overthrown by the Times.
Mr.. Jones had secured the secret
accounts of the Tweed ring, and had
begun fight which was only to end
with the complete overthrow of
Tweedism. When in some way Tweed
discovered that these accounts wers
about to be published in the Times, he
at once sent an agentto Mr.. Jones with
an offer to buy the Times at any price he
might name. This offer being refused,
IAN offer of S5,UJ0,OO0 for the suppress
sion of the accounts was made. but it
was likewise refused.

but there was one instance in which it
it was promptly condoned. During one

summer of '62, through the pine and
'simmon regions, he stopped to consult
with some general officers till the whole
command had passed some distance.
Riding forward to the front he discov-
cred a private of his old brigade up a
'simmon tree.
