Oar communication of last week in 70
gard to Miss Ada Zerkers death, should
have read, st. Martins, instead Of ST..

Swichel.
Our season is still improving, and fair
average corn crop is expected.
The picnic at Valley View Springs, on
Saturday last, was success in the full
sense OF the word. 1t was under the con-
troll Of Emanuel Lutheran Sunday SctoIl,
and the managers deserve much credit
for the enjoyment OF all present.

The band picnic to be held on next
Saturday at Valley View Springs, prom
Uses to be the grandest affair of the kind
in the pic-nio line. Some eight or ten
bands have been invited, and several
already have expressed their willingness
to attend. The whole affair is under the
management of the Leo Cornet Band Of
our city.
We learn that "Boon" Bowman's barn,
about 8 miles north of Mt. Jackson, was
burnt by lightning during the storm Sun
day afternoon, with all his crops, and
last but not least, his dog which was
penned in the barn.
Mr.. Henry G. Wickes, in prscticing
base ball playlng, on Monday evening
had one of the fingers of his left hand
broken in catching the ball. The wound
is very painful, and will give him several
weeks of inconvenience.
Capt. B. T. Rice and S. G. Henkel, will
IN the near future, plant saw mill on
the lands of the first named in West. Wiz
ginia, where they expect to do saving for
the next three years. Tie Capt, has q
fine lot of timber on his lands, such %

The street corner politician is beginning
to loom up, and the tariff is being dis.
cussed pro and con, and what that awful
P. German, OF the q. S. Senate, and his
co-workers doesn't know they could learn
from this class. We very much doubt

Genl. Malone would not have confirmed
the election of either one Of the csndl-
dates, and for this reason alone it would /
have been better for the party not to have
agitated the matter at the present time.
The agitation of the matter was brought
about by the chronic Office seekers, and
