zone of the most peculiar cases | ever

10 the case of my own piano at my resi-
dence. 1t was a splendid instrument

l sent out the tuner, but still there was
the same disagreeable rattle to the

much everything about the room. but

ticularly disaffected key, while / went
around the roof on a smelling expedi-
ton. After awhile / got down on my
hands and knees, and then / began TO
feel that | was getting warm as the
old saying is. The stove was over
twelve feet away from the piano, but
got warmer still as / approached II.
/ was then satisfied that the trouble
was in the stove. Sure enough there
was a loose piece Of isinglass. Taking
off the door, / took out tho isinglass,
turned and busted II and then replaced
it in the door. There wasn't the least
trouble with the piano after that. A
regular tuner, however, would probably
never have found the cause OF the
trouble"

Por.,ol sa,ohel a. a Birthday Gift

Among the gifts wherewith a pretty
woman was recently consoled for hay
ing a birthday, was a long narrow bag,
made OF white linen, drawn up az the
ton with white satin ribbons. For a
moment she wondered what she was
called upon 10 receive. Then. she per
ceived the legend embroidered in
mink silk. "Psrasol Satchel."
The bag was lined so as to
allow a few little scent bags to be sewn
Inside, and IL was amply large enough
20 accommodate the most ornate Of
chiffon aud 20 protect without crushing

or to the Exposition.

As merry a party as eyer organized for an outing boarded the two special coaches-a sleeper and chair car, char tered for the occasion, at this place Mon- day morning and departed for Chicago to spend week or ten days viewing the Exposition sights. It might be remark cd enpassant that it is no ordinary oc- cnrrence for town the size of Russell vile to ore..sst:.s a party like this, and if ] vu.s :. r not mistaken no other place in the State has sent out at one time par ty near so large. Credit for the success of this undertaking is due Messrs. J. k. Battenfield and o. NJ. Ellsworth who gave much time and labor to perfecting the details of the trip. The members of the pssty were:
 FROM RUssELEyILLE.
 Dr. and Mrs. Pruitt, MT. and Mrs. W. J. Reynolds, MT. and Mrs. Van Boswell and daughter, Mir. and Mrs. W. W. Warren. Mrs. A. NJ. Bradley, Mrs. J. H.

 It goes without saying that the party will take in the Fair from one end to the other, from the Arkansas building to the Ferris wheel, together with the numer- ous side attractions in and tout of the Midway Plaisance. A DEMOCRAT repre- sentative is along. armed with volum- inous notebook, from which he will weave narrative of the trip for the benefit of our readers upon his return.

A Good Man Con 0,

Edward Vaughan, after bravely fight. ing the battles of life for four score and two years, died at the residence of his son, J. A. J. Vaughan, on the 9th ut. He was an economical, hard-working man, and while he never accumulated much Of this worlds goods, he provid- ed we'll for his family, paid his own way through the world. Two wives and l2 children proceeded him, and he leaves four children behindi may his mantle Of honesty and decision fall on them. He loved what he thought was right, and hated what he considered wrong. He was true to his friends, was ready to defend and commend them. And he never spoke of his enemies. He was a true and faithful member of the c. F. church for forty years. A few days before he died he told the writer and Bro. J. c. Bonds that the most of his thoughts were on the past and future; that he was watching and waiting--waiting for the final call and watching himself that he might be ready to reach Heaven. Though he suffered long with disease of the heart, sften unable to lie down to sleep for days and weeks. yet he never complain cd or murmured over his condition, but frequently said God knows pest.

Onting Par. Excellence.

If hours, days, months and years pass ava, it is no matter what hour, what day. what month or what year we die"
 Such is not the opinion oT the members ofths I. D. club. We count oarselves fortunate indeed to have had an existence upto and in. cluding the 29th day of August, 1893, when the gallantry of Russ ellville, ever thoughtful and kind, planned picnic upon the banks of placid stream near our little city for our pleasure. Never was pie nic more perfectly enjoyed, and ney- CT were the arrangements for day s outing more happily consummated than on this occasion. A feast fit for the gods was so daintily arrang- ed as to tempt the most fickle appe- tite and spread by hands unused to such tasks, consisting of a menu which any caterer might have de- lighted to serve.
 Young men, our pen falters, and we cannot in words convey our ap- preciation of the honor conferred upon us. There are so many beau tiful words we would say which not withstanding their elegance could not convey the meaning of the emo tions of grateful hearts, but it is a happy inspiration which whispers sthe most tangible show of appreci- ation is action. Truly,
 I. D. GIRLS.

The Colt Show.

As was predicted the colt show last Saturday attracted large crowd of stock men to town and a very creditable exhibit was made. Fully 100 colts were on the grounds, though all of them were not entered for premiums, but finer lot of colts would be hard to find anywhere.
 In the Brown and Gardner exhibit 2l entries were made-17 horse and 4 mule colts. A cash premium oi Sl5 was awarded Shinn and Patrick for the best horse colt: judges, W. W. Clinton, Jasper Johnson and James George. A cash premium of $lO was awarded to Johnnie Bradley for the best mule colt; judges, J. H. Mclean, Henry Bailey and r. H. Patrick.
 Nine entries constituted the J. M. Harkey exhibit. Thomas Bullock captured the first premium for suck ling colt, J. H. Rhodes second prem

Tribute of Respect.

Danial Patterson, the subject of this notice, has paid the debt all men will have to pay, he having.died August 25, 1893, at his home in this county, at the age of 30. He moved from Mississippi where he was favorably known to this State some years ago. Brother Patter- son was good, quiet citizen, attending to his own affairs, and not meddling with those of others. He leaves a devoted wife and six loving children. He be- longed to the order of the Knights of Honor 2la years and was d good, useful member. He also was christian, hay ing been member of the Baptist church. We tender our heartfelt sym pathy to the friends and family of the deceased in this hour of deep afiiiction. The God of our fathers comfort and bless them. U. G. HEARoN.

 In J. W. Quinn's mule exhibit Is entries were made. H. c. Wick secur- ed first premium on best months old and handsome halter was given each of the other contestants; judges, B. " Bewley, Jr., John Robinson and J. A. Wick. The judges agreed that they had never seen smoother, better formed or better developed lot of colts than was here exhibited.
 Taken altogether the display was a marked success, and the prediction was generally expressed that it was the beginning of movement that would result in incalculable benefit to the people of the county. An eff fort will be made to hold colt fair sometime in November, in which the entire county will be invited to take part. We hope the undertaking will be pressed and carried to success full issue,
