Work on the wires of the Cum

progressing rapidly, the linemen
are now running two more main
wires from Duchamp station here,

Says the Monroe News: Hard
~ newspaper is opened that does
not reveal some crime or accident
by a pistol. "He did not know it
was loaded" or sit fell off a shelf
and the fatal wound was given"
or Gin an outburst of temper, two
men quarreling, a life was destroy
ed" What business have you
with pistol in civilized Chris
tian neighborhood, well protected
by the law and called to no official
service in exposed places? What
coward you must be? Throw
away your pistol where no one will
find it. Some member of your
family will yet be shot by it or
get heart wound more hurtful
than a pistol shot if you do not
look out Some of us have travel
ed far and near, and for many
years, and never been in any place,
or amid any circumstances where
we needed deadly weapons. A
pistol in time of peace is murder
on the shelf or in the bureau. Let
the sheriff making an arrest or a
policemen walking the streets at
midnight, or officers trying to quell
a riot go fully armed, but an ordi-
nary citizen in ordinary circum-
stances needs no firearms, and the
ordinary citizen needs not to be
loaded with a 80 or A Colts.

The readers Of this paper will be pieased
to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been aoi6 TO
cure in all its stages and that is Catsrrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fratern-
ity. Catarrh being constitutional disc
ase, requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directing upon the blood ana
mucous surfaces Of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation OF the disease
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing its work. The propFietors
have SO much faith in its curative pow
era that they offer one Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

The oil company at Clarendon,
the name of which we will not
mention by reason Of its peculiar
ity, has commenced drilling tor
the fluid, and the Waterman hopes
that it will be an unreasonable
success. To explain ourselves,
the name is left off this item be-
cause of its high-sounding nature,
nevertheless, that fact will not
prevent this paper from hoping
that each and all of the stockhold-
ers will eventually become mil
lionaires by reason of their efforts
looking to the development OF one
of the grandest enterprises which
could be instituted in our parish.
The derrick has been erected, ma
chinery is in operation, the hole
is being bored, and all seems to
be prospective as to its ultimate
success. There is no question
about that part of the enterprise,
for the reason that oil is SO posi-
lively in evidence that portion
of the hill where the well has been
sunk is 80 slippery that it is al
most dangerous for intruders, to
even go upon the ground Frank

EDITOR OF THE Owosso TIMES:

you the following brief notes:

tered the Royal Gorge in Colorado it
commenced raining, then it began to
snow, and it was continually snow and
rain until we got to Ogden. Salt Lake
City seemed from the looks of its side
walks to be nearly under water. We
did not stop except to take on and put
off baggage. The few passengers who
got off had to walk on planks to get to
the hacks which they took.

exercises were conducted by Mr..
Empie. Miss Ivah Dallas gave us a
recitation and Miss Pearl Vincent
favored us with an instrumental solo,

recitation which was followed by a
duet by Mrs Z. Grimes and Mrs. b.

reading by George Thompson. Mossrs.
Reed, Conrad, Marks and Cooper, COM
posing the quartette, favored us with a
selection. after which the main ques-
ton, Which is the most profitable,
special or general farming. was taken
up. The discussion was led by j. j.
PatcheLwho thinks general farming best
in most cases for if failure results in
one crop it would not mean a total
loss, and Mr.. Empie thought the labor
on a farm was better distributed as
regards time by general farming. This
brought us to the question Box in
charge of Mrs. A. Thompson, which
brought out some lively discussions.
The program was concluded with a
recitation by Master Parkson, after
which we adjourned to meet with c. b.
