DIR. J. II. Reed met with an accident
last Monday that, had a prospectivelv
serious side to it. He was climbing a
ladder in his new building when it slip
ped IN such way as to throw his left
shoulder out of joint and leave him
hanging by his right arm, over thin air.
and uninviting looking ioists number
feet below. Fortunately the ladder
caught a slight hold on the edge of q
lolst and somewhat relieved the STRAIN
on his arm so that he could hold on till
help came. He is on the street AGAIN
but is not shaking hands with his left TO
any considerable extent.
On Monday last the funeral of Mrs.
Morrel took place at the residence of
Mr.. Calvin of Lancaster. Mrs. Lavina
Morrel was born in Saratoga Co,
n I. IN 1910. She moved to Chaw-
tauqua Co, came West in 1910. when
she made heI home at Hurricane Cor.
ners. The deceased was a Member of

time of her death, and she had lived a

The democratic press tries 10 keep it
before the people that prosperous times
are returning and gives in evidence the
fact that mills and manufactures are
resuming work. Some mills and man
ufactoring establishments are resuming
but great many are still idle and if
wont hurt the people of this country to
remember that there was no necessity
for this condition Of things, ana that
the labor of the country has been the
loser when it hoped, by change of bust
ness policy, to be the gamer. The peo-
pie should recognize by this time that a
democratic platform is not good plat
form to do business on, except for law
Yers and sherilis.
The last days of the great fair closed
without any of the festivities arranged
for the occasion, and all flags hung at
half mast because of the death of Car
ter Harrison. The assassin. Patrick
Eugene Prendergast, will surely hang.
That is the expressed Judgment Of
every one. While it may be that he is
an eccentric character, his eccentricitv
has attracted no more attention lately
than it has for years. His act seems to
be the result of a desire to become
talked about and the general hope is
that such crankism shall not be en-
couraged by allowing Carter Harrison's
assassin to 60 unhanged.
On Saturday, Nov. 4th at one p. Nj.
the regular annual meeting ofthe Grant
Co. Agricultural Socity will be held at
the Court House. This is an important
meeting. For several years our Co.
Fair has been growing in popularity
and it is to the interest of all that wide
awake business-like men shall be kept
in charge of its affairs. Tho present
set of officers is all that can be desired;
they have worked faithfully and lntelli-
gently and their work has counted for
success every time. However one or
two of these officers refuse to serve an.
other year. Care must be exercised in
electiug successors. Hence the import
ance Of this meeting Be at hand
