in cherry tree picking cherries,
Sunday, when she fell out, nlight-
ing nstride a snag, infiicting very
painful and dangerous wound. DIR.
Mossman, of this city, was called.
To Build IL New House.
DIR. Il. f. Campbell has purchas-
ed from Hon. Rankin Wiley, the
north corner of the lot on which he
resides. and has contracted with
Mr.. E. II. Yonker to erect at once
on this lot a two-story seven-room
house, to be of the latest modern
design. This fine residence when
completed, will add much to the
beauty of that part of town.
A Jolly Party.
Mr.. VIM. Fry aud family, Mr..
G. l.. Whaley and family, Mrs.
John Hughes, of Winfield and Mrs.
Chas. Butcher, of Connersville,
Ind, made up n pleasant and jolly
party of two skiff loads and rowed
to Cheshire, Sunday, and spent the
day with Mr.E.F. Milligan and fam
lily, returning late in the evening.
An exchange gives the following
good advice: Live for something,
do good and leave behind you a
monument of virtue that storms
can never destroy. Write your
name by Kindness, love and mercy
on the hearts of thousands you
come III contact with, year by year,
and you will never be forgotten.
No; your word and deeds will be
as legible upon the hearts you
leave behind as the stars on the
brow of the evening. Good deeds
will shine as brightly upon the
earth as the stars in heaven"
Sunday some little boys got hold,
by some means of three $50 bills,
and were trying to get them chang
ed. An Italian named Quinto, took
charge of one of the bills, and Mrs.
Lynch got one that her boy came
into possession of. The Mayor
ordered officer Smith to take
charge of the bills, until the mat
ter could be Investigated. The
boys seem to have taken the money
out of Jos. Bcasseti's trunk at
Browns boarding house.
Mr.. j. l.. Thorne, of Wyoma,
was over in town Friday. He says
that James Delong had big rat
creep upon his bed the other night
and bite his foot badly. The
wound is very painful and Mr..
Belongs foot is swollen to suchan
extent that lie is unable to wear
shoe and can only hobble around
the house. a rat bite is said to be
almost as poisonous as that of n
reptile. Gallipolis journal.
An observing mother suggests
that for the benefit of the health of
women and small children a good
move would be for them to use the
Court House yard an hour or two
in the evening. The grass is clean
and the youngsters could stretch
their limbs and muscles by good
roll or run.

emergency.
