WANTED TO DIE.-The story comes
from Polk county that an old man whose
mind had become deranged had propho-
sled that the Lord had informed him that
at the hour of 10 o'clock a m on SatuI day,
June is, ISo2, he was to die. The old
man was SO thoroughly imbued with the
idea and SO convinced OF its truth that he
wrote notices to that effect in rhyme and
posted them around in the neighborhood.
AT the appointed time number OF his
neiehbors gathered at his home TO see the
climax of the affair in which he was TO
shake off this mortal coil and go to that
bourne whence no traveller returns. AS
the minutes flew by, as minutes will do,
he called attention to the approaching
hour, watching with sort OF fiendish glce
the lapse of time. But through some un.
forseen cause 10 O'Clock passed and he
was still alive ard somewhat disappointed
and proceeded to excuse himself by SAYING
the Lord didn't know when 10 O'Clock
was. The old fellows home is in Spring
valley, and with careful treatment he has
| become ealmer and he may yet recover
his reasoning faculties. Statesman.

A Waterloo correspondent TO the Adj
vance Gays; Sunday is the day here.
Many races were run here last Sabbath,
game of ball was to have been played
between Waterloo and Rock Hill. but
racing had too many charms Tor the Rock
Hill boys. We will always say we"done
them up" But while We do not approve
of the above sports on that day, We give
the boys the credit they deserve in plac~
ing track and grounds one-hah mile from
the spring and out OF sight, and only
those desiring need take part.
