We would judge from the looks Of
our big crop of 1895 that the Audubon
county fair will be one of the best
fairs we have ever had in this county,
every farmer who has the pride that
he ought to have should prepare to
make good exhibit.
Mr.. Struthers, of south central
Glenwild, threshed as fine lot
of oats and wheat we have seen this
fall and the yield was far beyond the
expectations. The oats averaged be-
tween rs and so bushels to the acre,
his wheat 80 bushels and rye 20 bushels.
These figures are hard to beat con-
sidering the way that the rye was
damaged by the heavy late frost that
was so Obstructive to small grain.

p. 9. Haldaegal, of Rockwell City,
representing the Central Telephone
Co, was in Viola Saturday on business
for his company. They propose to
build a line from Rockwell City to
Charitan branching there to Jefferson
proceeding also from the former point
to Coon Rapids, thence to Guthrie
Center; from Coon Rapids to Dedham,
thence to Atlantic via Viola Center
and Audubon with proposed line
from Audubon through Shelby county
to Woodbine. In the building of these
lines they risk the assurance OF Ger.
tain amount Of patronage from the
diffesent points touched. 1t might be
well, while this subject is under con-
sideration, to see what benefits such a
line would have to anlaid town cut off
from direct railroad communication.
Farmers could keep posted on the
prices Of stock and grain at all times,
situated as we are about midway be-
tween five or six towns or markets
there is frequently difference of q
cent or two in the price of grain and
perhaps FIVE or ten cents per hundred
on the price of stock. With telephone
communication the farmer could In q
few minutes ring up the dealers in
each of the towns and know just what
they would pay for these products
and save vast amount OF time and
always receive the highest price going.
The same for repairs for machinery.
A farmer has frequently when in need
of repairs to go the second or third
town in guest Of parts of machine
ere he finds what he is in need Of. 1t
might be well for farmers to stop and
ponder the matter to see whether they
would be willing to assure the com
pany certain amount OF patronage
to build the proposed route.

A forerunner OF sickness and disease is that
worn-out, played-out feeling, as ye hear 1t
commonly expressed. And this is just the
critical time, when little attention would
save much misery and suffering. Call 1t, II
you will, Malaria or Nervous Exhaustion, or
the cause OF over-work, 1t is all bad, and
either name is enough to alright people. A
great many people, of regular habits, have
these same periods of depression and are
unable to trace it to any disease. The fact is,
there is no special disease yet, but the system
is being prepared for it. The root of the whole
matter is that your liver is torpid, sluggish or
diseased, and an accumulation of poison in
the system is taking place that affects your
whole being, and brings that worn-out and
fretful feeling. This is plain truth, and logi-
cal. The physician knows 1t, and at once
makes an attack on the liver to get that organ
into active work, when the whole system Is
rejuvenated and that worn-out feeling and
nervous debility passes quickly away. We
want to make this plain to every reader of
this paper, and suggest that all read our
communications which appear every other
day.
Another fact we want you to understand
Just as distinctly Is that SIMMONS LIVER REG
ULAToR is the KING OF LIVER MEDICINES,
purely vegetable and entirely free from Cal
omel or Quinine. 1t has done wonders for a
great multitude of people in the past sixty
years, and the demand for 1t grows daily as
the people learn the truth that the liver is the
organ that affects the health more than any
other organ in the body. Simmons Liver
Regulator Is strongly tonic with It's curative
effects, and the whole system at once feels
benefited and is toned up. All druggists sell
1t in liquid or powder.

ANOTHER ONE.

A special from Chattanooga says
twenty-four miners lost their lives Fri
day, in the Nelson, entry No. !, near
Dayton. Tenn, by an explosion Of fire
damp. The explosion was succeeded
by terrific crash which indicated that
the.roof Of the passage through which
they had entered had fallen in. No
avenne Of escape was left, and there is
no possibility that the men will be
found alive. The mine is the property
Of the Dayton Coal & Iron Company,
three miles from the town and reached
by n spur track. The men, both white
and eolored, including several boys,
entered the mine to go to work at z
o'clock, but nothing of the awful ca
tastrophe was known until IL o'clock,
when the entry No. 10, found thsir
way blocked by solid wall Of coal and
slate. The Nelson mine has been
worked for twelve years OF more, and
the entry where the unfortunate men
are entombed ran back more than two
miles from the mouth of the mine.
The mine is Of the kind common IN
the Southern States known as the
drift or level vained mine, worked in
the direction of the vein straight IN
TO the face of the mountain, but before
the entry is reached a long slope ex-
tends to a level several hundred yards
below at an angle Of about 30 degrees,
the cars being pulled up from the foot
of the slope where tram cars drawn by
mules connect with it to the outside Dy
a cable which hauled the coal up with
remarkable rapidity. Rescuing parties
have been working like grim death all
dav irving to reach them, butt is prob
able that they will be several days fore

fallen roofings, which must be made
safe as they proceed. The fcA ar

have been told that there is no hope, is
a spectacle from which one turns sick

who breathed the poisoned air.

TWO Mine EXPLOSIONS.
Accidents Happened in North
Carolina and Tennessee.
TWENTY-FIVE KILLED.
Fire Damp Causes the Destruction Of
the North Carolina Mine and the
Same Thing Caused the Destruction
Of a Mine in Tennessee.

At 9 o'clsckThursday morning, short
ly after the day force, numbering 81
men had gone on duty at the Cumnock
coal mines, six miles west Of Raleigh.
y. c., terrible fire damp explosion
occurred, with fearful effect. Upon
hearing the report the people of the
village and relatives Of the entombed
miners hastened to the scene, but for
some time they were unable to gain any
tidings from below. After pumping fresh
air into the shafts several miners were
preuailed upon to venture down and
investigate. They found and brought
out 25 men from shafts No. 2 and 3.
Five OF six Of them were badly wounded
and some Of them will probably die,
othere were slightly wounded. A mule
and two men were killed in slope
No. 2. Alter considerable delay the
searching party entered slope No.
!, where they we're greeted by
a most horrible and ghastly sight.
Dead men fearfully mutilated, were
found, some Of them partly covered up
with pieces of coal, timber and other
debris. The searching party came up
and reported what they had found.
At 4 o'clock ten or twelve miners went
down to bring up the dead bodies, but
at last accounts none of the dead had
been recovered. II is believed that 43
men we're killed. Some Of them we're
negroes aud foreigners and the rest ma
tives Of North Carolina. Several had
families living at Cumnock. Eight Of
the dead miners we're from Pennsylva-
mia. A quantity Of dynamite was in
the mine and exploded, wrecking coal
cars, and splitting massive pieces Of
timber into kindling wood. Mothers
wives and sisters we're around the
mines all day, weeping and wringing
their hands with grief, expecting every
minute to sec the lfeless forms Of some
Dne brought up.

The suggestion has been made to
secretary Herbert by the naval chiefs
that congress be requested to immedi-
ately authorize the amendment Of the
last naval act, so as to permit the de-
partner to contract for the building
Of six battleships instead of the two
provided for. 1t is urged that in view
Of the low figures Of the bids received
at the recent opening, it would be
greatly in the interest Of economy TO
accept all of the bids, and accordidg to
this plan the Newsport News Company
would be given the contract for two Of
the ships, the Union Iron Works Of
San Francisco a contract for two and
the Cramps a contract for two. All Of
the ships would be of the KeGrsage
type, with double turrets and l3-inch
guns. The cost Of the six ships at the
outside, and there is reason to believe
that the bidders would still further
scale down their figures, would be SlO,-
44O. 900 exclusive of armor, whereas
the last congress fixed the limit Of cost
for but two ships, with armor, at SS,-
600, 600. The necessary armor would
cost about 50, 0OO,OO0 or $4,000, ,OO00
additional. Secretary Herbert has the
matter under consideration.

ber were abandoned, and they turned
their attention toward saving the mill
property. At about IL D. m. the Moss
Point fire company, with their shower.
arrived, and, taking up a position,
advanced for an hour to check the
progress of the fire. At length the
heat became so intense that the men
were compelled to remove the engine 10

north, where it remained all night. and
with the assistance of the two other
companies and mill engines, effectually
prevented the flames from extending to
the mill. While this was going on the
tngs Fox and Eva arrived, and taking
up position in the south of the mill
began pouring copious streams of water
upon il, and prevented the fire from
extending in that direction. II is esti-
mated that between 5000, 900 and A.

Likely to be Accepted.

Assistant Secretary Hamlin had
reached a decision in the Thiel case for
alleged excessive charges on bonded
goods, and will submit his views to the
Secretary Of the Treasury for consid-
Grafton. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Thiel offered to restore 81, 900 to
the government by way of compromise.
While nothing official has been given
out, it is believed that the offer has
been favorably considered by the de-
partment.
