Your scribe has been compelled by
sickness in his family to remain
quite closely at home and has not
gathered much news.
j. r. Lyons has much improved
in health and there are hopes that he
will soon be out again to attend to
his duties with his old vigor and
skill undiminished.
Business is very dull all over the
county as the Hanna boom of pros

us.
Mrs. Lloyd Yeatman has left for
an extended visit to friends in Ken
lucky.
The temperance question agitates
parts of the county, and l wish to
state here that no tribute to the
worth of our Honorable Judge is too
high to pay him in this connection.
He grants no license but what the
law compels him to. If There should
be a whiskey shop at the fork of
every road it would be no fault of
his.
There is much activity in lumber
and wood in various parts of the
county and it will soon be that saw
mills are as plentiful as black berries
In their season.
We have much to be thankful for,
but the most for which we can offer
just praise is that the dark cloud
seems to be slowly scattering and
that the people can in next Novem-
Der see through 1.-THE trusts, ex-
pansion policy, dear money and
pauper labor-and then seeing all
these can avoid the results by going
forward In the direction of good
times with free silver aud Bryan as
