Scotland Citizen, 18th: During the
rain of Monday night the residence Of
J. d. Elliott, at Tyndall was struck by
lightning and the whole interior of his
new and elegant home demolished.
The bolt entered the roof near the cen
ter of the building, the fluid scattering
to all psrts of the interior utterly de-
moiishing eleven rooms. Mr.. Elliott,
wife and baby had not yet retired and,
remarkable as it seems, they escaped
all contact with the fluid and were not
effected by the shock. The damage is
estimated at about $500. The Scotland
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott con-
gratulate them on their narrow escape.

member Mrs. Farnsworth as the pleas
ant and popular assistant cashier of the
Turner Co. Bank, and warm welcome
is extended to her by the citizens of
Hurley on her return to make this her
future home. May their lives be full
full of heavens best gifts. On Thurs
day evening reception was rendered
them at their rooms over the bank by
few of their most intimate friends.
A farmer who has probably been
duped by peddler justly vents his
wrath on the merchants thus: If the
local merchants or grocers would let
the people know as much about the
price of their goods through printers
ink as the travelling grocer and foreign
merchants do by flooding the country
with price lists, catalogues. ETC., there
would not be so many duped farmers
nor complaining merchants. The adj
vertisers who put their goods and
prices before the people and keep them
there are the ones who sell the goods.
They may say when too late, Il would
have duplicated that bill of goods" but
they should have let the farmer who
sent away and bought advertised goods
from foreign merchant, know it be-
fore he bought. That's the business OF
it.
