CAREERS MILLS.

James NJ. CARRIER has been appointed
postmaster at this place, and the office
will be removed back to the old stand
where 1t was first established sometime
in the sixties. This change gives great
satisfaction to a large majority of the
reading class, as the location is far
more convenient. The name is to be
changed from Chesterton to CARRIER.
The cause of this change is on account
of the frequent delay of mail, which
often goes to Chesterton or Chestoria,
the names being somewhat similar.
Elder James B. Stone, a superannuated
minister of the Baptist Church, aged
80 Odd years, was striker with paraly sis
a few days ago, and o lies in an un-
conscious and precarious condition.
His death is expected at any time. 1t
seems uncle Jimmie"is not receiving
the attention from his relatives and
church members that his condition
warrants. We do not know the cause
thereof; they are amply able to look
after and have him kindly cared for.
He is an old veteran in the cause of bis
Master, and in his decling years should
receive the care and attention his past
services demands. He lie a poor man,
but honest, which, probably, is the
cause of his poverty. A few years ago
Mrs. Agnes Hale, a life long acquaint-
ance of his donated him a few acres of
land, and his kindly disposed neigh.
bors erected an u~npretentious cabin on
it, which is the only thing he possesses.
May his kindred, or br ethren or neigh.
bors kindly look after and care for him
in his last days. Mrs. Catherine Blank
enship, of whom mention was recently
made, is said to be slightly better; her
recovery though is exceedingly doubt
full. Uncle jeff Wilson has been
very i'll recently but isnow improving.
j. j. Barron had a relapse the other
day but is now better. OF aged people
we have quite a number in our District.
OF those we can call to mind, whose
ages range from seventy odd to ninety
five years are: Agnes Hale, Col. VIM.
M. Bayless, B. F. Swingle, Barton Bay.

summer fights opened out vigorously a
few days ago. Two of our pugnaciously
disposed citizens fell out over the 10.
cation of a pig pen, and to settle the
dispute, resorted to their fists. Hap.
PLY no mi was seriously hurt. Thos.
Radford, our efficient Deputy Sheriff,
has a serious case of TYPHOID fever, but
at this writing is said to be better.
Tom has many friends here who wish
him a speedy recovery. The Sunday

Gen. WoodfOrd's Instructions Said to Be
Straight Out Ones.

LONDON, June 21.--The Washington
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle
reiterates today his previous statement
as to the alleged instructions given by
President Mckinley to Gen. Steward
L. Woodford, Minister of the United
State to Spain, and adds: "Spain will
be permitted to exercise merely a THU.
lar sovereignty over Cuba. She will be
compelled to withdraw her troops and
to permit the Cubans to make their
own laws, to raise their own revenue
to control their own expenditures.
President Mckinley believes Cuba
must ultimately be annexed to the
United States. The withdrawal of the
Spanish troops will lead to a repetition
of the Hawaiian incident"
