who occupied the Jerome farm,
hurriedly decided Saturday afternoon
the goth inst. to depart for parts
unknown and left his wife and chill
dren behind. We understand that he
took the evening train at Babcock
and went to Chicago. He is charged
with rape and incest with his step
daughter aged ten years. We learn
upon good authority that he was
caught in the act and that these
relations have been existing fer two
years. a warrant has been issued for
his arrest and it is now in the hands
of the sheriff. His family consists of
his wife, this ten year old daughter,
and two sons aged Is and p years.
The enormity of such an otfense
merits the .SevereSt punishment if
found guilty. We sincerely hope he
will be apprehended and brought to
justice.
A party of young folks were invited
to dance on the east side of the river
one night recently. In order to cut
down expenses they made arrange
ments with Mr.. Farmer to call in
town with hisSleigh and large size hay
rack and convey them from the village
to the scene of the entertainments and
bring them back in the wee small
hours Of the morning. Some of the
young men even layed off that night
with visions Of ball room and orchestra
flashing before them necessarily. but
for some unaccolntable reason Mr..
Farmer did not show up as was
intended. After enduring the grief
OF Il cold winter night on our streets
for ; hours they departed for their
respective homes hoping that some
time they may have the chance to
play even with the tiller of the soil.
1t has been demonstrated repeatedly
IN every state in the Union and in
many foreign countries that Chamber
lain'S Cough Remedy is certain
preventive and cure for Group. 1t has
become the universal remedy for that
disease. NJ. Y. Fisher of Liberty. W.
Va, only repeats what has been said
around the globe when he writes: Il
have used Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in my family for several
years and always with perfect success.
We believe that it is not only the best
cough remedy, but that it is sure
cure for Group. 1t has saved the lives
OF our children a number of times.
