Don't forget that. HIRscHMANs
PROF. WoOLERY says that they are
tabernacling in the upper region of
their new home while the carpenter,
painter and plumber occupy the lower
region. The latter expect to be
through in couple Of weeks.
HUNTINGTON boasts of having
twenty-five boys in the reform school
much larger number than any 9th
er town in the state. 1t is doubt
full honor but no one doubts the fact
that Huntington has fairly earned
it.
AN exchange says that every paper
in the State should publish the fact
that burnt corn is sure cure for hog
cholera. 1t was discovered by burnt
corn from distillery being fed to
them. Before that number of them
had died each day, but as soon as the
balance began eating the corn the dis
ease disappeared.
The Hospital Directors on last
Saturday accepted the bid of DR..

for sael for the ensuing year, and
cancelled the order awarding this
contract TO A. M. Lane for coal as

was 4,l50, but the parties failed to
appear and give bond Weston Dem.
The ladies of the NJ E. Church
have formed an organization to work
through the coming winter in the
interests of the church They have
not as yet formulated program for
the campaign but have so far deci-
ded to hold supper and social in
November and give cantata in
February. Goods results will surely
follow the work of the ladies.
The Klondike nugget in J. r. Mil
lers store window is attracting much
attention. One of the same kind,
made of the same materials, in a
nearby town, got its possessor into
serious trouble A bum happened to
see the nugget in the window and
went after it with stone. The plate
glass cost great deal more than the
gilded lump of coal was worth in the
way of an advertisement.
BEvERLY's county seat victory
does not rest on very sure founda-
ton. When nearly two thousand of
the citizens of county record them
selves in favor of proposition against
only thirteen hundred on the other
side, spirit Of reluctant submission
prevails that will not down. 1t is
but natural that the county seat
gravitate toward the largest town,
and the chances are that the agita-
tion will be continued until Beverly
will finally lose the prize.
JUDGING from the amount of glass,
pieces of wire, etc, thrown on the
streets, 1t seems not to be known that
such is contrary to the law. The leg
islature last winter passed an act
making it unlawful to ''drop, place
or throw, and suffer to remain or
cause to be dropped, placed or thrown,
and suffer to remain upon any high
way, road, street, alley, lane, square
or other public place, any glass, scrap
iron, nails, tacks, wire, paper or of.
fensive matter of any kind" A pen.
atty is attached to any such violation.
1t is certainly strange, though there
be no law against it, that citizens
will use their public streets which
should be the pride Of all, for dump
ing place for all filth and offals.
In small town in Preston county,
according to newspaper reports, a
band of vigilants has been organized,
whose avowed object is to rid the
vicinity, not of cOunterfeiters, but
of anything else they consider nui-
sance. The band is composed OF
youngsters, and war has been de-
clared on all the cats of the neigh
borhood, at least on all the tabbies
they can run down. Lamp posts and
trees are being decorated with the
swinging bodies Of lynched cats, and
attached to the bodies of victims is
this notice: ~ died at the hands of
the vigilance committee and warn my
fellow creatures to take the hint and
remain scarce" Old maids having pet
cats live in fear and trembling fol
the lives OF their pussies, and if any
Of the young yigilants fall into these
old ladies hands they are liable to get
a warming" they will remember.
