Landlord Strong moved his family

Landlord Strong moved his family
to Jamaica on Tuesday, Geo, 5.
Curtis and wife will run the house for
a short time until Mr.. Worthen can
arrange his business and take hold
personally, Mr.. Strong had been in
the house about s months and had
kept an excellent house, both salts
factory to the people of the place and
to the travelling public, He and his
estimable wife, who seemed fitted for
the place, strove so hard to lift the
house above its bad record made by
its two occupants, prior to his taking
charge, that the esteem and good will
of our citizens were fairly won and all
regretted his departure. This is said
as simple truth and without any pref
udice toward landlord Worthen, who
occupied the house a short time a.
bout two years ago, also to the en-
tire satisfaction of all. That he will
do so again no one doubts, and he will
have the entire good will of our peo-
pie from the start. Mr.. Worthen
will commence at once to renovate,
re-paper and paint the house, and
such parts as need it will be refur-
nished. So in a short time the Pea
body House will look like its former
self in brighter days.

SHELBY M, CUClOM,
Some of the Characteristics of the Sen
Tor Senator from Illinois.

Some of the Characteristics of the Sem
Tor Senator from Illinois.
A Washington gentleman, who is an
admirer of the senior senator from Iii
nois, writes of him as follows:
Mr. Cullom is somewhat noted for
his resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.
He has the same type of face, the same
lank, thin body and the same char
acteristics Like Lincoln, he is fond
of telling stories, and, like Lincoln, he
has thousand quaint phrases and illus
trations ON his tongues end. He is like
Lincoln, too, in his simplicity, his hatred
of sham and pretense, his sincere pa
triotism and inability to bear malice.
1t was a weakness with Lincoln that
he could not hold grudge against any
one. He was too quick to forgive his
enemies and take them in as friends.
| Cullom is the same. Now and then he
gets saucy letter from some cranky
constituent or disappointed politician.
Cullom doesn't answer it. He files it
away and keeps still. In three months
or six, or perhaps a year, the offended
man, coming to his senses and finding it
impossible to pick quarrel, writes and
takes back what he had said before.
Then the senator takes up his pen. 81
didn't answer your letter" he usually
says in such cases, because | saw you
were excited, and wanted to give you
chance to cool off"
1t is an odd coincidence that Illinois
two candidates for the presidency should
live in the same town, almost within a
stones throw of each other, and that
both should have come from Kentucky,
as did that greatest son of Illinois, Abra-
ham Lincoln. Both Palmer and Cullom
were the sons of farmers in Kentucky
who were attracted to Illinois in the
early days by the tales of wealth from
the prairie region. Both started out
barefoot, both were governor of the
state, both are in the senate, both hope
to reach the White House.
