The Independent was talking Saturday
with a well-knOwn banker. The banker
said, i'm reference to the manufacturers:
They have had a pretty hard time i'm
making their collections from their
customers. They sent out drafts on
customers. and the customers, not hav-
ing the money TO pay with, would al
low the drafts to be returned unpaid
and ask for an extension of time. AS
nobody wanted 10 crowd their Gus
toners an extension had TO be given.
This made the factories short of funds
with which TO pay operating expenses,
and they necessarily We're obliged to
close down. But collections are better
and matters will soon come around
all right. "-RichmoLd Independent.
Simon B. LaBaw, Il prosperous farmer
Of Shawnee township, was caller at
the Friend office Monday Speaking of
crops and their prices Mr.. LaBaw said
that his corn is light. but he will get
along very well by feeding wheat TO his
stock. In reply TO a question as to
whether il would pay, Mr.. LaBaw in
formed us that he has bunch Of hogs
that he is fattening on wheat, and that
he has never had hogs to do so we'll be-
ground without having the bran sepa-
rated from the -four, and mix it up with
water and feed il. In that way he is
confident he will. at the present price Of
hogs, get a dollar or upward for every
bushel OF wheat fed.-Covington Friend.

Of this city, was frightfully cut by fall
ing against his large circular saw while
it was in motion on last Friday even
ing. Mr.. Pussy runs a saw mill near
his house, and while at work in the
mill his foot slipped i'm some manner,
which precipitated him against the saw.
He did not fall directly against it, but
as II was, he was frightfully cut across
the breast and on both his arms. Drs.
Black and Ramsey were summoned,
and Sewed up his wounds, requiring
four hours hard work. Mr.. Pussy eX-

April IA last Samuel Ross was put in
Jail for failure to pay Anna Sprauge
a judgment of 1857, account of pater-
nifty proceedings she had instituted
against him. Sunday Ross gave her
his gold watch and Ross's mother deed
ed her little farm of siXty-five acres
10 Miss Sprauge as a matter Of COM
promise, after which Miss Sprauge mort
gagged the land to James 5. Brown, Dave
Emig, W. w. Mailman and County
Clerk Eulwider and Sheriff Lucas, to Sc
cure payment Of court cost and their
fees. Ross was then released from Jail,
after nearly seven months confinement.
The little home was all the old lady
possessed Yet she sacrificed il to re-
lease her son from Jail. The land is
poor, and at forced sale will not bring
more than the costs and attorney fees
IT looks like a sacrifice all round-Co-
lumbuS Times.
Big Four passenger train Friday even-
ing experienced a tiresome delay by
reason of an attempt on the part of
n dtscrepit horse, without proverbial
horse sense, to walk the Dry branch
trestle The troublesome beast had
felt his way out on the high structure
for distance Of about thirty feet
when he became dizzy and a misstep
caused a fall between the ties In en-
deavoring to extricate himself the horse
became wedged tight. Very fortunate-
ly the discovery was made in time to
spent in cutting the ties and dragging
the obstacle off the trestle. during
which time the train men called down
great showers of blessing upon the head
OF the horse and the owner who per-
mitted him to wander and to roam
