SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

Last evening, just after tea, while Mr..
Thomas Hartman, prominent and highly
respected citizen, apparently in the best Of
health and spirits, was reading newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell to the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon.
scious. The family were stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned
physician. But il was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause. Holbrook Herald.
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
Tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have symptom of this
dread disease do not hesitate a moment in
attending TO 1t. Delay is always dangerous,
and in heart disease too often fatal. Some
symptoms Of heart disease are shortness Of
breath, huttering, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir-
regular pulse, smothering, weak or hungry
spells, fainting spells, dropsy, etc.
Charles Raven, York. Pa, writes at suffered
from heart disease ~ years. Frequently my
heart would seem tojump into my mouth, and my
condition made me very melancholy: Physicians

The Phillips County Bank

Last Friday M. A. Waterman Of
Topeka, deputy bank examiner made
an examination Of the condition of
the Phillips County Bank, In CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Waterman we learn
that he considers this institution as
solid as can be. He said: II found
the bank to have on hand money far
beyond the required reserve, with but
very little poor paper. Mr.. Morse
is one Of the most careful and conser-
vative cashiers that / know Of, and
has the business right in hand, / do
not believe that any more solid bank
is in existence" In these close times
it Is gratifying to know that our lnsti-
tutlons Of this character are placed so
at the top, for everyone be he bor-
rover stock holder or deposition is in
terested IN solid banking institutions.

Crop Prospects.

Since the last issue Of this paper
the condition Of growing corn has not
improved any, but on the other hand
IN some parts Of the county the yield
has been cut very short by hot
weather. From close inquiry we find
that the eastern portion of the county
has suffered the most, while the west
ern portion has a prospect for, say
forty bushels. However the people
are in much better shape than at this
time last year, as potatoes are plenti-
full, and wheat, rye and oats, have
made part Of a crop. Threshers tell
us that oats will average thirty BUSH
els, and rye and wheat about twelve.
There is no use of denying the fact
that many people are very much dis
couraged over the unpromising condi-
ton Of corn.

The New Era of Canal Develop
ment.

At their recent election the peo-
nile Of New York voted yes on the
proposition to eNpend S9-OO0,OGO to
improve the Erie canal, as provided /
by a bill passed at the last session !
Of their State Legislature. These
improvements will now be made.
All the shorter locks are to be
heightened, the sixteen locks now
existing between Cohoes and Troy
are to be done away with and apar
of modern steel lit locks put IL
their place. and its present depth OF
7 feet is to be increased to 8 feet.
By these changes it will be possible
for Erie canal boate to be hence
forth built u feet longer, and IN
pair of double boats this increase
will add eighty tons to their carry,
mo capacity. The commercial
opInion Of the metropolis Is that
the expenditure Of the S9,OOO,O00
lust sanctioned by the people Will
easilv maintain tide Erie canal for
MANY wears to come as the great
conduit through which 50 large a
portion of the products of the West
iiud their way to the seaboard. ] ct
lie is certain that the Erie canal Will
at sometime not far il the future
have to be enlarged and deepenec
still further, unless an entirely ne"
canal is built, to connect the gred'
= lakes with the Atlantic.

Photography VS.. Drunkenness.

We commend this story to the
attention of our temperance con-

Mr.. Richard Swiveller would say,
THAT if it isn't true, it's very good:
A woman in Salem, Pa, determln-
ed that her husband should know
how he looked when he was drunk.
She knew how he looked well
enough, and needed not that any
man Should tell her. Her children
also knew by sad experience, but
the man himself had a very I'M
proper idea of the state OF his case.
so once. when he came home and
fell into a maudIin slumber, she
sent for photographer forthwith
and on his arrival she set before
him his work. She ordered the
photographer to photograph h, hel
husband as he sat in his chair. The
photographer did his work and dc
| it we'll; and when the photograph
was finished and laid beside the hus.
bands plate at breakfast it was E
revelation. and the sobered gentle
man experienced a decidedly new
sensation. There was no need o
explanation; the thing explained
Itself. There was no chance o.
contradiction; the sun tells no lies
There was no room for argument
reform has taken place. -.9c'ei'
