three days they killed 1873 birds.
They say that birds are unusually
plentiful this season. They came
home Friday night and on Saturday
gave bird dinner to the city officials
and police officers, which was hugely
enjoyed by all present.
They hope to have another hunt
before the season runs out. Already

U. S. Senator NJ. s. QuBy, Of Penn

State Treasurer Hayward, Of Penn

grand jury of Philadelphia for con-

If these charges are the result of
political rancor and unfounded, they
should be dismissed at once. If,
however, these men have done the
things charged, they should be con-
victed and punished. No matter
how high or how low a man may
be, if he is a thief, he should be
punished.

Ex-FrankIin County Girls Romance.

This war has not been without its
romances, Notwithstanding the short
time it lasted. Among the most
pathetic which have come under our
observation is one in which former
Franklin county girl is the heroine.
Capt. Vernon Johnson, of the Sec
Ond Missouri Volunteers, was as
sistant postmaster at his home town
of Butler, Mo-, when the war broke
out. He was engaged to a Miss
Bachelor, daughter of Mr.. John
b. Bachelor, who lived near the
Kentucky Military Institute num-
Der of years since.
When Johnson left for the army
he succeeded in having his fiancee
appointed to the place in the post
Office until he should return.
When the regiment to which
he belonged was at Chickamauga
johnson was taken sick with rheu-
matism, which his physician mis-
took for typhoid fever, and treated
accordingly, aggravating the disease.
When johnson was brought to
Camp Hamilton he was found to be
perfectly helpless. His mother and
sweetheart came to see him.
So soon as the plucky girl found
that, not being his wife, she could

Big Cattle Trade.

The fine little city of Mt. Sterling
has always enjoyed big cattle trade.
But the court day sales last Monday
rather gets away with any heretofore
experienced. There were some $500
cattle sold, the price varying from 2
cents for very inferior grades up to
$4.65 for export stock.
MT. Sterling is good town and we
rejoice in these evidences of good
times.
