The election here on Tuesday was a
great surprise to many of the workers of
the old parties. The movement in favor
of Prohibition showed itself distinctly at
the polls all day. The Democratic can
didates carried the tow nship by large
majorities, but the Prohibition vote was
81 for Hitchner and As for Seagrave. Old
men who never before deserted their
party came out this year and voted the
temperance ticket, thus making L P.
Neck the banner Prohibition township
in the county.

may be. But there are exceptions, of
Recently G. W. Given and wife

and the effect seems to bring both youth
and happiness to them. But pity the

A supper was given by Jos. Roberts,
in the store of John HARRISON, on Monday
evening, the romance of which almost
equalled the crow supper. This one how
consisted of more inviting food,
but perhaps not more substantial, as the
menu consisted of crackers and cheese.
The evening was enjoyed, as also was
the treat by all happening in the store at
that time, the occasion of the treat made
it all the more enjoyable. 1t was in
honor of the election.
A very sad accident, which came very
near proving fatal, happened here
on Wednesday. Oscar, the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Hunt, not
knowing the danger In which he was
placing his little life, drank almost an
entire vial of chloroform. The vial,
through mistake, had been left within
reach of his childish hand. Medical aid
was at once summoned. and after almost
half a day elapsed, during which time
those present exerted themselves to
their utmost, signs of life became once
more visible. 1t was a very narrow
escape from death, but we are more than
glad to report that the little one is at this
writing entirely recovered.
A young gentleman who came here,
evening recently to visit his best
girl, had quite a surprise before leaving
the place. 1t appears that in this place
Qike all others) there are some who
enjoy a little fun, which appears to them
the merrier if enjoyed at another's
expense. On the evening in question
this young man had left his team in
front of the dwelling in which he was
passing the evening, and when at an
early hour he took his departure. he
found that some one had e~ndeavored to
make a wreck of the vehicle, as they
had removed or in someway changed all
movable parts of the conveyance and
also concealed his whip. 1t was soon
learned, however, that this prank had
been played only for fun, as nothing had
been taken SO far away but it could be
found after a little searching. No insult
was taken. To the contrary, the
interested parties hope those who went
to SO much trouble thoroughly enjoyed
their evening, but it is the general belief
that they were guided by a 1913 calander
instead of '97, as they were four nights
in advance of Hollow'eve.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Turner were very
much surprised on Tuesday afternoon by
an uncommonly large number of visitors,

prise swas complete, which doubled the
enjoyment of the occasion. 1t was the
