On Monday night of last week Mr..
Jas. Rowlands's mill was entirely
destroyed bv fire. This mill was
operated by Jno. Rowland, who lost
a quantity of -four and horse feed
We understand the mill was insured
for $1,000. On the same night some
persons rode through the lands of
of Messrs. L. X. Carter and NJ. M.
SwimlY, gGing in the direction OF
Summit Point. 1t looks as if this
person was trying TO avoid the public
road, and had no regard for wheat
and corn fields, or fencing. and was
afraid he would become exhausted
by the burning property, and thought
it best to keep in the shade.

Mr.. Theodore Lee, of Tacoma,
Wash, who has lost both his
arms, is in New York on very odd
mission. He wants to try graft
ing arms on the stumps he possesses.
He has arranged with surgeon who
is willing to do the work and all he
wants now is a man who is willing to
give up his arms. He thinks that
some criminal condemned to death
may for q money consideration and
in the interest of science give up his
arms, for which he will shortly have
no further use. The process is to
clamp MIR. Lees stump and the arm
of the convict in cast and then to
cut the sound arm squarely off, and
at the same time the end of the stump

Say there. you young man On that
store box. What kind of future
do you calculate yours is goingto he
at your present rate of progress !?
The man WHO spends his youth in
idleness can only look for an old age
of remorse and repentance. 1t is
far easier to form habits of idIeness
than of industry. And when once
formed it is no easy task to free
ourselves from their grasp. Young
man you must sooner or later find
that life is a serious business, and
the sooner you discover this fact the
better it will be for you. Don't
vaguely dream of the things that are
to be in the sweet bye and bye, but
set manfullY to solve the mystery of
your own destiny. 1t has been said
that "all things come to those who
wait" but we think this maxim
would convey more truth were it
made to read, sail things come to
those who work and wait" Truly
there is no excellence without labor.
