not find in the papers long list of
names of persons killed in some dis
aster-railroad wreck, ship wreck,
mine horror, house failure, hotel

name of some of our own people, or
those closely associated with them.
AN exchange tells of a woman
who bought a new-fangled coffee pot
from a peddler. In the evening
showed it to her husband, a hard
ware dealer, who told her he kept
the same thing in his store for half
the price she paid. "Well," said
she, "why don't you advertise?
Nobody ever knows what you have
for sale"
If you eve see Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition, it will be in this
good month of October, 1898.
There may be some attraction left

close on Monday, the 30th inst.
Whatever may be left after that
date will not be the Great Exposi-
ton.

SUGAR is becoming more pIenti-
full, and grocers are able to fill
orders freely once more. The price,
however, which advanced about
three-fourths of a cent during the

premeditated by the refiners, and
the suspicion is strengthened that
it was brought on at an opportune
season for the purpose of forcing a
rise in prices.
TINS is the season Of the year
when hickory nuts, wall nuts, butter
nuts, and the like are ripening, and
| Young America has not lost sight
of this fact as can be seen by the

their burdens. Farmers report a
large crop Of nuts this year Trees
that have not yielded more than a
bushel in previous years, have this
year contained from three to four
bushels.
