the following subject was
very ably disc usse j: "Resolv-

OF the Philomathesian; the
negative by Mr.. g. N. Bray,
OF the Philomathesan, and

tion by making the country
too prosperous. They don't
wish the country to get too
prosperous before election.

Illuminated and dainty shades cast a most
beautiful light on the smiling faces and lovely

ent of Oak Grove, which is needless to say
was excellently rendered as well as heartily
applauded. Later all were invited into the
spacious dining-room to tip the light fantastic

browning of a Former Citizen.

On the Sth instant, near Green Valley, Hi
nois, William, son of Mary and the late James
Beggs, formerly of this county, and grand
son of David Burns, who conducted the harm
ess business here over 80 years ago, was acct
dentally drowned in the Mackinaw river. 1t
is the custom there for the young men to wash
their buggies on Saturday, and William, in
company with his brother John and two
neighbors, went to the river for that purpose.
After finishing the work they all concluded
to go in swimming. William got into hole
and the current swept him off his feet. He
called for assistance, but before it could be
given the strong current carried him off and
he was drowned. The body was found u
miles below where the accident occurred on
Sunday. The young man was 16 years old
and much esteemed by his companions. The
funeral took place on Monday and was largely
attended
