The Hill Home.

The effort to raise money to buy
home for Mr. Hill, who lost both
hands in a corn shredder, is meet.
ing with general appreciation and
subscriptions are coming in from
all sides. There never was a more
worthy undertaking and those who
have not already contributed will
certainly find it in their hearts to
do so at an early date. The vic
tim. of the accident is, or was,
al industrious, honorable man,
who earned a living for his wife
and little ones by the honest sweat
of his face. Deprived of both
hands, the mainstay of the little
family is gone. Could the people
do nobler thing than provide a
home? Did a more christian like
impulse ever move the human
heart than that which responds to
an appeal of this kind? No big
sum is asked, but contribute &C
cording to the measure with which
Gods goodness and mercy have
been melted to you.

To NONRESIDENT Patrons.

OF course you have heard that
Marion has smallpox. l want to
emphatically state that Marion
has the few cases under strict con-
troll, and there is no more fear of
this disease here-nor is there
need to be-than if it were no
closer than st. Louis.
The school will go right on; rest
assured that if the slightest dan
ger arises to your children in this
matter l would act quicker than
you perhaps for their safety.
There is no quarantine and will
be none. Vaccination will, and
should be resorted to by every one
Hoping no patron having child
rem in my school will become
needlessly alarmed, and that they
may leave to me when the alarm
should be sounded.
| am, sincerely,
Charles Evans,
Sup't of School.

WORK FINISHED.
The DriIIers Have Completed
Their Line of Wells.

The crow of hands that has been
at work with we'll drills in the
Ohio river and on r. n. Walkers
farm adjacent thereto, completed
their undertaking last week, and
the machinery is being removed.
Twenty wells we're drilled in
depths ranging,from go to 100 it,,
and according to report good rock
bottom was found at every point
where the drill went down. This
work has been done by the l. G.
railroad, and the building of a
bridge across the Ohio at that
point, it is supposed, has been and
is contemplated, Neither the com
pany nor the men engaged in the
work have been communicative
about the WORK nor the object in
view, and it is not likely that the
report of the engineer TO his COM
pany will be made public. Hence
all the information obtainable as
to the ultimate result of these
three months labor is based prin-
cipally upon conjecture and sur
mise.
The company evidently enter
tanned some idea of building a
railroad along the line surveyed,
as several thousand dollars have
been spent in this work, but whe-
Their that was the main object or
not we are left to guess.

The cotton growers association has been
working ON the problem Of providing them
with money for some time. and while the
association can not provide them with
money, the arrangement made by President
Peters today will enable them to get money
