SEPTEMBER 22.-Fred Gott had horse
struck by lightning during the recent
thunder storm.
Chas. Palmer, and wife, of Akron, both
OF whom were raised here, have suffered
q great loss. A little child was born
TO them, upon which, doubtless
great hopes were built, but his Heavenly
Father recalled the gift as soon as given
and set the delicate little blossom, too
frail for earthlygardens, among his chOic-
est gems In that beautiful city Of jasper
and gold that was not built with hands.
On Friday last Mr.. Palmer brought the
llny remnant Of mortality back here t.
The old home where it was placed in the
vault until he could secure a suitable
burial lot
Our townsmen are all very much in
terested in politics just now and the re-
publican side has organized Mckinley
and Hobart Club, which has grown H.
number until there is scarce a rCpubli
can outside its ranks. They manifest
much enthusiasm and it is to be hoped
that each and everyone will put forth
great efforts to help on the election o.
KcKinley the best man the party has had
up for office for many years.
Lorain county turned out a big delega-
tion to call on Major Mckinley at his
home In Canton, and PeLheld, small
though 1t be, turned out as many patri-
otic admirers and supporters as many Of
our brave old soldier hero, as many OF
the larger places. Almost every republi-
can in town turned out to honor the
many whom these grinuing sOreheads
hate like poison.
The Ladies Aid Society Of the NJ. 4.
Church held cOnumdrum social at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. J. Krebs on
wednesday night last week. 1t was
quite entertaining having several new
features about it, chief among which
was the conundrum supper. The ladies
having printed menu cards, on which the
eatables were named in form Of conum-
ldrums and while good guesser would
: secure a good supper, poor one might
fail to get one thing that he liked or
: wanted. 1t was quite amusing and
each had the choice of six dishes for ten
cents. Many failed to guess them and
got left. Here is one or two of the ex-
tracts from the bill Of fare: Woman's
weapOn-pickled tongue. Cure for aeh-
ing tooth-pullet. What does the win
! ner take-cake. A young mans sweet
heart-honey. What ham needs-eggs.
!; On Monday, Aron Auble was thrown
out Of cart while driving and had his
9 ankle severely sprained.

Chestnuts Under the Wrong Tree.

A rich man of this city gave chest
nut party. Chestnut parties are quite
the rage just now. They are easily
planned and carried out About the
only necessity is chestnuts, That's
where the rich man stumbled. The
chestnut supply at the point he had
selected for the party was scarce.
There was a splendid tree, but its crop
was light. Wealth is the true father
of expedients The rich man bought
a generous supply of chestnuts and
sent them out to be carefully scattered
beneath the tree. When the party ar
rived at the nutting ground, 10! the
tree had been shaken and there on the
ground lay the remarkably generous
supply of nuts. The business of
gathering them went merrily forward,
when, all of a sudden, one of the
older members of the party picked up
fallen leaf and looked at it suspici-
ously. Then she glanced up at the
tree above her.
"Isn't it stranger" she said.
''Isn't what stranger" asked th,
rich man.
