And those who think there is nothing
but sorrow and care in this world. will
speedily disabuse their minds by seeing
Herbert Hawthorn, with his cyclone of
fun. Don't forget the date, Wednesd ay.
January 30th.
The lecture at the Opera House, last
Friday evening was very well attended,
and the subject, washington and the
Making of America listened to with
close attention. DIR. Shepardson, is a
fluent talker, and he delivered his lee
ture in such a manner as to be under
stood by his hearers.
The American people are not easy
satisfied. They used to grumble long
and loud because the postage stamps
they bought would all stick together in
their pockets. Now the postal depart.
ment practically remedied that evil,
the people are wailing loud and long
that the stamps won't stick at all.
Extensive arrangements are under
way for the Marshall County Sunday
School association which will be held at
the Presbyterian church, this city, Feb
ruary 18th and 10Th. An invitation is
extended to all. There is no doubt of
the reception that will be given visitors,
as the reputation of our people is second
to none.
y wise Missouri legislator is making
valiant efforts to secure the passage of
a bill which will require all owners of
vehicles to lengthen the double trees, so
the horse will have to travel immedi-
ately in front of the wheels, instead of
between them. He claims the feet of
the horses will prevent the cutting ruts
in the roads.
The editor sat in his easy chair, and
his eyes were fixed in CLASSY stare; he
looked like one who was mad with de-
SPAR, or crazed with a sore affection.
Why look so wild? Is the poor man
craZed with his burden of care? All,
no. a man from the outer air has en-
tered his sanctum without a swear, and
paid his last years subscription.
E. Spangle the jeweler, wishes to an
nounce to the people of Plymouth. that
he is now permanently established at
his new quarters north of the postoffice.
Mr.. Spangle makes speciality in the
spectacle line, and as an optician, is re-
ceiving satisfactory returns for his work.
He also is receiving large line of silver
ware and Jewelry, and. will be pleased
to suit all those desiring work in his
line.
The meanest man on record, says an
exchange, lives in Union county, Mo.
He sold his son-in-law one-half of COW,
and then refused to divide the milk,
maintaining that he only sold the front
half The son-in-law was also required
to provide the feed the COW consumed,
and compelled to carry her water three
times day. Recently the cow hooked
the old man, and he is now sueing the
owner of the front half for damages.
Here's great truth from an exchange:
Newspaper men always know more than
they write; they always shield more
than they expose; thay are always more
merciful than cruel. The man who
trusts an experienced newspaper man
may rely on the fact that he will be
treated fairly. 1t is the mean, contempt
BILE, sneaking, suspicious hypocrite that
the newspapers are always after. No
manly man was ever hurt by newspa-
per- And no one is quicker to see the
manner of a man than is the newspaper
man, who studies men and their actions
day unto day.
An exchange tells of wise farmer
who mortgaged his farm to buy his wife
diamond ring; the wife took in wash
ing to pay the interest on the mortgage,
but finally lost her ring in the suds, and
in fit of dependency she tried to COM
NIT suicide by hanging herself from
rafter in the barn, but the rope broke
and she fell on $50 cow and broke
the animals back. The farmer tried to
shoot the cow to end her suffering, when
the gun burst and put out both his eyes;
then the wife ran away with a lightning
rod peddler, and the farmer went to the
poor house. The mortgage is still doing
business at the old stand.
Mr.. Walter Hilton, brother of Mrs. q.
Kleinschmidt, while working the first of
the week in the Broadway Methodist
church, at Logansport, met with very
painful accident, and a miraculous es-
cape from death. He, in company with
another man were papering the ceiling,
when from some unaccountable reason
the board he was standing on gave way
precipitating him thirty-iive feet to the
floor below. In the fall he struck against
