Joslin. Nov. ll.-Ii the shortage
in Europe should Cause q temporary
ri for all farm products. Of course
the cause will be attributed To

OF c. NJ. Hubbsrt, was united in mar
rage Tuesday las, to Miss Caroline
Garry, OF Henderson, Indiana. She
is lovely young lady Of 90 summers
and be is equally good looking and
OF gentlemanly appearance. The,
came down to visit with e. N. Hub
hart and family during last week,
and we're wished much happiness b,
their friends.
Would it not be better il pIesiden-
tial elections we're eight years apar.
instead OF four? AS conducted il il
very expensive, bu in-ss is ALWAYS
seriously affected, there is always
undue excitement aud farmer friend.
recome enemies and wounds caused
which are never afterward entirely
healed.
The snow that fell during Thurs.
day evening last placed winterly
appearance upon the face of pa,ur.
and passed q veto upon corn picking
and brought wildly 10 nv mind the
condition Of the poor who sre short
Of fuel. May the Lord devise some
means for their relief and have
mercy upon the souls OF the coal
barons, who have rai.ed the prire of
coal.
No one can raise any valid ohj-c
lion against innocent and guod
aatured celebrating by II successful
party, but when two neighbors wills
carry an anvil into one of their
OTIS, and fire it off within 3 few feet
OF an o. joining lot, as WIS done in
J slin in order to annoy and iTri, ate
u neighbor. on accour of his poli,i-
cal leanings, and to be told il his
wife couldn't stand it he could t,ke
her away. is simply shameful.
Since the election three of our citi-
zens. who are supposed to have vo,. d
for Bryan and free silver, have each
been the recipient Of a small phial.
which was filled with whisky, upon
| which was written: This il 10 aid

all in good part, and as the presc,ip
ton failt d to say whether the med,
| cine should be taken in one dose. OF
SO many drops, we shall wait iurthc,
developments and instructions. and
IN the meantime We would kinoly
suggest to the sender ITO avoid b
visit from Webster's ghosD that. he
should attend q spelling school the
coming winter.
During the last few day there ha>
been considerable jol.iticstion and
celebrating by the succe sful side of
the money question in Josl'n anc
vicinity. 1t is well known that
Madison Bowles ard the Cox family
generally have to celebrate acco d.
ing as to which side is Glorious.
When the democrats were the VIZ
tors, Mr.. Bow'ss celebrate .
with the booming OF cannon which
did not give the Cox ianly much
rest. and this year the descendant,
Of Jesse Cox are returning Mr.
Bowles the compliment. Cannon
commenced to boom from the Cox
residence Tuesday evening. and they
kept it up until midnight Saturday.
Two neighbors meeting in our viii

MIR. A-..Well, how do YOU feel since
your defeat?" Mr.. B-..I should have
preferred it the other way, but I am
still eating three meals n day, sm

hopes for the future" Mr.. A-"Th.
is a philosophical way Of looking at
it; wish | was more like you" Mr.

OF the new president will he to sug-
gest monetary conference in order
to bring England. Germany and the
United States together, to see il We

separated with q comicsl smile upon
their countenances.
