M0LER AVENUE.

The health OF our section, we are
glad to state, is improving. The in
yalids are on the decrease. The re-
naming few are Mrs. Wm. Wolf,
Mrs. John Gaunter and Mrs. Beard.
Mr.. Chas. Rulings, who was acct
dentally shot by his brother, is able
to walk around now, and return the
visits of his ardent friends. who
welcome most heartily the sight of
his pleasant, genial countenance.
Moler avenue looks most inviting
in its appearance. Trees dressed in
fresh green, wave their young
branches in happy content and
grateful whisperings Of praise to the
Hand that bath scattered sunshine,
and showers. and on garden, hill
and mountain side, hath painted
glorious flowers.
Messrs. VIM. knapp, VIM. As.

Miss Annie Fisher, Mrs. Woods,
Mrs. Wild, Rev. Yeaklev, Mr.. P.

the list of callers of recent date. The
new neighbors are Mr.. @. Tabler,

Quaker meeting Sunday, at Hope
we'll, attracted an immense crowd
from many places. Clarence Tabler,
B. Onderdonk, M. Tabler and John
Myers, went from here. A beauti-
full day and good roads and a good
meeting. The Quaker's were made
better no doubt, and those
who were made worse, were not
Quakers, but were animated by
spirit, that came from imbibing too
much "Old Rye"

WANTED-ECONOMY.

Want is said to be hard task
master. Economy, is the fruitful
fruition and consolation of prudent
and careful management. Getting
all you want, leads to extravaganza,
but when the drouth comes, and the
crops are short, and the bills paya.
BILE, makes a man bald-headed and
gray. Economy becomes the nurse,
necessarily. The trouble is, and al
ways will be, that people get so
spoiled with good times at times,
that they are not willing to meet the
winter of discomfort. View the sit
uation and apply the economy. 1t
is death in life, that could only be
avoided by prudent and careful eco
nomical judgment. In other words,
don't fool when you are staring facts
in the face.

There were fifty seven "shut-out"
games played in the National League

Baltimore has a cinch on first
place at present, with prospects good
to hold it for time.
Not even the youngsters take as
much interest as usual in the game

A man never ought to draw re-
volver and miss, unless he knows the
other person has not one. 1t is the
missing business that lets the other
fellow in. In this last shooting scrape
the colored man, said to have been
q dead shot, missed the man he was
playing crap with, and then missed
the deputy sheriff. That man is
now in the cemetery buried at the
expense Of the taxpayers. 1t is a

dispatch from Chicago says: At 10
p. m, May 1st. Mrs. Adolph L. Lutte
CART disappeared from her home in
that place. It was said she commit

He was afterwards locked up. In q
