A PRETTY STORY.
A Modern Damon and Pythias Episode
of the War Brought to Light.


of the War Brought to Light.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-A special
dispatch from Springfield, Mo-,
says: President Homer t. Fuller,
Of Druryl, college, announces that
he has received a singular PROPOSE
ton from a wealthy Massachu-
sets man, whose identity he
would not disclose. The man Of
fers Drury a large sum OF money
il it will verify the truth OF an in
cident which is alleged to have
taken place in Missouri, and
which, if true, the Massachusetts
man thinks, equals the story Of
Damon and Pythias. The presi-
dent announces that the college
will accept, and requests the
students to help him to secure evil
dence if such a thing did occur.
The story is, that in the early
part of the war a detachment Of
Confederate troops took about 400
Union prisoners. Twelve of these
prisoners were lined up and shot
without ~provocation by the Con-
federate officers.
Upon hearing Of this act, the
commander Of the Federal regi-
ment drafted twelve prisoners to
be shot in retaliation. AS the line
was being formed, a young man
named William Leaf stepped for
ward and asked permission to take
the place of one Of the condemned
men, who was his friend. The re-
quest was granted and Leaf was
given the place of his friend.

country, We are comparatively happy.
I have never encouraged single
friend to come to Deep Greek in all

cooked up a little surprise on that
worthy gentleman last Thursday
evening which turned out to be more
of a surprise to the guests than the
host. Along, in the evening party
gathered at the residence of Mr.. and

purpose of having a real sociable
time, but it happened that Mr.. Nc
Canney's business detained him long
er than usual that evening and he
did not get home until the guests
were taking their departure, hence
Mr.. McCanney claims he has got the
surprise on his friends. Nevertheless
he wishes to thank them for their
courtesy and asks them to try it
again.

AN APPEAL.
To the Voters of Morris and All
Interested in the Public
Welfare.

AS the time is now again approach
ing when the citizens of Morris will
cast their votes for or against the sa-
loon traffic, in their city, and, as a
protest against this traffic was circu-
lated in our neighborhood, and after
ward published in both our local
newspapers, last spring, securing
about 200 signatures, we again grasp
the opportunity of repeating the
same.
AS the saloon traffic still fourishes
in your city, and spreads its evil
work all around, we think it is our
duty again to appeal to the voters
and citizens of Morris, praying that
you will conscientiously consider the
effects of this traffic.
There is the main recruiting sta
ton for our poor farms, our asylums
and our prisons. 1t fills homes with
sorrow and darkness instead of JOY
and happiness.
Shall we be obliged to have this
obstruction in the road as block on
which many of our people stumble
and fall? Will the license money
compensate for the injury done. es-
pecialIy to our young people, and for
the trouble and sorrow it causes
among us?
We believe that it is our duty as a
christian people and citizens of our
country to assist as we'll as we can
those persons who are unable to with
stand the alluring temptations of in
toxicating liquors, by using our in
fuence toward removing the cause of
the evil.

next Sunday evening. There will be
no services in the Methodist church
in the evening in order to give every
one an opportunity to attend the un-
ion meeting. The johnson Trio,
mother and two daughters, will be
present and take part in the singing.
Miss Elizabeth Preston will address,
the meeting. Miss Preston is an en-
tertaining speaker and no doubt will
be the means Of drawing large aud
fence. She has appeared before the
Morris people on other occasions and
was always enthusiastically received.
Let everybody turn out. You are all
welcome.

The festive tramp is once more be-
ginning to invade our village and
impose upon our charitably disposed
housewives. A good many of the
newcomers are of a pugnacious char
acter and inclined to be saucy if their
request for food is not granted. One
of these tie-pass travellers last Mon
day approached one of our ladies and
asked for something to eat, and on
being refused commenced an abuse
on the lady of the house, using pro
fame language. Such men as that
are more deserving of term in jail
on bread and water than they are
of warm lunch and kind words
from our charity people.
