FROM RICHMOND CO

Our genial friend, Nj. A. Carter,
of Stonewall District, goes around as
happy as it is possible for a good
man to be. He is always found on
the correct side of each question that
comes up and events usually Justify
his actions. j. Warren Bartlett is
another live man of this district and
keeps himself well posted on current
events.
VIM. Douglass, of Baltimore, is
spending a few days at the home
place in Warsaw.
Rev. A. b. Chinn is visiting his
relations at Warsaw. Last Sunday
he held services at st. Johns Church.
administered the sacrament and
preached an impressive and convinc-
ing sermon which was much appre-
ciated and enjoyed by all present.
Long life to him and may he soon
be bishop.
DIR. A. Is. Middleton, Of Washing
ton District, has built new office
and is now enclosing his place with
a handsome fence. Thus the march
of progress advances.
John M. McCartv, of Sharps, has
been slightly Jindisposed, suffering
with an attack of lumbago, but we
are glad to say that he is getting
better.
Squire Lyell, of Farnham, is about
the same as last reported, being con-
fined to his bed. He is weak from
the effects of age, but we are glad
that he is yet with us.
ii. M. HUT proposes to open a
store on November 1st at Sharps and
liquor license is to be asked for.
If granted, there will be two stores
at Sharps for the sale of liquor, also
a new one ct Simmons Corner and
one nearby in the forest. 1t needs
no prophet TO foretell that they will
all fail because there will not be
enough bought by the people to keep
so many stores of that sort going.
Merchants generally have pur-
chased their Fall and Winter goods
and as prices are advancing they
have done we'll in so doing.
w. @. Wallace contemplates re-
moving from the county and there
are other changes. likely to hapren
that will deprive the county of some
of its very best people. Instead Of
gaining by immigration we seem to
be losing, thing to be regretted.
notice Hanna says there are nc
trusts in the United States. guess
he is right from his point of view
He always goes on strict cash basis
and trusts no one until he has re,
ceived the goods. Mckinley, h.
don't trust either. He wants ali past
debts paid and new start on cash
basis also.
l have had but little chance t.

A Fiendish Attack

An attack was lately made on c. f.
Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly
proved fatal. 1t came through his kid
neys. His back got so lame he could
not stoop without great pain, nor sit in
chair except propped by cushions. No
remedy helped him until he tried Elec-
trio Bitters which effected such a Won
derful change that he writes he feels
like new man. This marvellous medi-
cine cures backache and kidney trouble.
