The church people in Nelson

Col. w. n. England, who had
been spending the week with friends
in Logan, left on Monday for an ex-
tended trip through Georgia, Florida
and other states of the south.
"A thunder storm passed over
Logan on last Friday night, an un-
usual thing for January. The storm

"A temperance war is raging in
Akron. The church in which the
meetings are held Is guarded by
armed men to prevent the saloon ele-
ment from carrying out the threat to
burn the church if temperance meet
ings were held in it. This is not in
henighted Cuba. not in barbarous
Manila, but in President McKinIey's
own native county. Why not send
tyoops to Akron instead of Iloilo?
The statement last week that
Comrade John L Yonker. had re
oeived an increase al pension and
back pay was made on current rum
or and was what his many friends
wanted to believe because the gal
liant old man richly deserves such
consideration. Mr. Yonker informs
us that he has not made application
even for increase, hence no increase
was allowed.
Prof. Ricketts,, of Laurelville,
was in the city on last Friday on
legal business. He has been study
ing law for some time past and his
success in fifty or moro cases tried
before ths Justices Court, evidence
his thorough study and native abili-
ty for the Bar. Mr.. Ricketts, is one
of the ableyoung men of our coun-
ty and we bespeak for him fame and
fortune in the profession he proposes
to follow.
The Delinquent Tax sale closed
speedily OIL Moday. The sales a
mounted to about 81 400. 90. The Coal
company lands constituting about
100000 Of the gross amount of sales.
The tax on large majority of lands
advertised had been paid before day
Of sale, not more than half as many
sales as last year. Tbisis a good
showing tor our county and efficiency
of our Treasurer and Auditor in COL
lecting the tax.
We regret to learn that L. w.
Buckmaster, the genial city ticket
agent of the Hooking Valley rail
road, and one Of the most popular
excursion conductors in the service,
is laid up on accounted hurt re-
celved from fall while walking on
the streets of Columbus. Buck
should learn from this, as we all
have long since known, that it is
safer to ride on his trains than to
promenade the city boulevards. No
one ever gets hurt riding on tine
Hooking Valley trains.
Prof. Ricketts,, DR.. Dawson and
Squire Black, three young rising
law luminaries from Laurelville, ac-
pompanied by about 100 aids, were
in attendance at court Tuesday and
met cordial reception from the old
stagers of the bar, and from their
many personal friends in Logan.
The case in which they were inter-
ested has but little money involved,
bat it has lost Of law and the en-
bryo attorneys have sifted and sep
arated out about all the nine points;
one side has possession of the money,
the other side possession of the prop.
