The time for registration of voters
under the new law will soon be here
as will be seen by reference to the
notices posted by the registrars in the
different hundreds. 1t is necessary for
each person intending to vote to have
his name placed upon the registration
list, and no time should be lost by anv
as soon as the officials are ready for
business. 1t is something new to the
people, this requisite never having been
prescribed before, but it is none the
less important and none should neg
lect it.
MRS. MARTHA DUHURsT has in her
yard on Union Street, a young and
thrifty Datnra in bloom. This is a
favOrite fall plant with the ladies. not
only for its long, creamy flowers but
also for its fragrance. Mrs. Duhurst
has knack for making flowers grow:
they seem to do it almost at her com
mand. Perhaps the secret is the love
and nurture she gives them. and they
speak back to her training hand and
watchful eye in language of beauty
and fragrance that forms the strongest
ties of cOmpaniOnship.

counts were very ill. The compare.
lively speedy death of the children
after being taken, early lapsing into
caused considerable
excitement in the neighborhoOd, under
the impression that the water or some
thing had been poisoned, but the doc

lent cases of typhoid fever.

SAMUEL TAYLOR, who has been in
the Agriculture Implement business
since the closing of the machine shops
of Geo. w. & S. Taylor, has been
obliged to discontinue business because
of failing health, and has sold out his
stock to VIM. NJ. Lewis and Samuel
Wheatman, who succeeded him on
Monday. Mr. Lewis has been in the
phosphate business, which employs his
time only a few months in the year,
and Le goes into this to more com
pletely occupy his time. The same is
true of Mr.. Wheatman, who has been
for several years in the carriage busi-
ness. Both know the wants of farmers
and will be ready to serve them in
whatever capacity desired.
AMONG the other affective things OF
the season to the farmers is the re.ap-
pearance after the lapse of ten or more
years, of the dreaded disease, known
as blind Staggers." The first indica-
tlon was week or more ago in the
vicinity of Leipsic-seven horses, five
OF which have since died. We also
hear that there is an equal or larger
number reported in ThOrOughfare
Neck, with cases scattered in the coun-
try between. The disease is more
easily prevented than it is cured. The
running out in the pasture of nights
is one of the things thought to be con-
ducive to the disease. Eugene Far
row, veterinarian, of Leipsic. has a
remedy which he guarantees to prevent
the disease, which he obtained from a
noted veterinarian surgeon.
