To Editor OF The TINES:
Dear Sir-In view OF the many con-
fictlng rumOrs in regard to the
ShJri ~. Nestlerode affair, some
explanation would seem appropriate
at this iuucture
The good people of Amoret, from
current rumOrs, seemed unduly eX
cited, and apparently worked up to
a pitch of frenzy which indicated that
Mr.. Nestlerode, whom serious charges
had been preferred against. was in
great danger, and that bodily harm
was imminent. In view of these start
ling rumors | visited Amoret the day
before Mr. Nestlerode's examination

fore Judge Graves. | consulted with
several of the business men of that
fiourishing little town, such as III. NJ.
Galley, 7. X. Lancaster, W r. Jones,
John Lyle. DR.. Littlejohn and others
and they all emphatically disclaimed
any knowledge OF any intention on
the part OF its citizens at that time
or any other time, of resorting to
mob violence, and denied positively
that there had been any unusual
gathering of its people for such pur-
pose on that night, or at any other
time, and with one accord severely
condemned and wished it distinctly
understood that they had not, nor
never would countenance such pro-
ceedings by the citizens of Amoret,
but they appeared to be firmly con-
vinced that a crime had been COM
mitted on the person of Oracle Short,
who is stopping with one Mr.. Cry,
near Amoret. All they asked or
wanted was that Justice he meted out
to the guilty party or parties by our
courts, irrespective of wealth or sta
tion in life.

mediate neighbors. From the evil
dence so far brought to light, his
neighbors do not, for one moment,
believe that he is the author of such
a iamnable crime, If such was perpe-
trated on the person OF this little
girl, but if the evidence was, OF should
be of such a nature that it would not
admit of doubt then and not until
then would we, as neighbors that
have known him well for the last 25
or 80 years, acquiesce and say what

suffer the Just penalty of violated
law. c. H. MORRISON.

Come TO the surface in the spring as
in no other season. It's a pity they
don t run themselves all off that way:
but in spite of pimples and other
eruptions, they mostly remain in the
system. That's bad.
Hoods Sarsaparilla removes them
and cures all the painful and disfig-
uring troubles they cause. Nothing
else cleanses the system and clears
the complexion like Hoods.

far.uss.. Clubs.

Now that the long evenings Of winter
are approaching and the rush Of work
upon the farm nearing its close, action
should be taken in every community for
the organization of clubs Of the discussion
of topics of vital interest to the farm, and
occasional debates upon social and
economic subjects. OF course, there will
be the usual farmers institutes but these
cannot take the place nor fill the need Of
q club in the neighborhood, with its
weekly Or semi.monthly meetings.
There is the question Of fruit pests.
Many new schemes have been tried by
growers in every locality. The inter-
change Of ideas upon this subject would
be Of great interest, and an evening de-
voted to this would come far from ex-
hausting the subject. Then too, the
wheat raiser. the sheep man and the man
who has done diversified farming. The
stock men and all would make an in
teresting and instructive club. Then
there are the women folks on the farm.
Some women do not know al they care Of
fruit, butter. poultry and other work that
comes within woman's sphere. There
are others who have made specialties Of
certain features, and have the very best
of ideas-those coming from long study
aud practical application. An inter
change Of ideas here would result in pro
fit to those who would hear aud con,
sequent improvement would be made all
along the line. In addition to edu-
eating the people, the club would serve
the double purpose Of offering social
amusement diverting the mind from the
eve.y day routine, and making the
winter more pleasant.
Give an evening week to q club this
winter and there will never be another
winter that your neighborhood is with
out one. The city folk have their clubs
and so beneficial have they proven in
their lines, that they have become indis.
pensible to modern society. They are
devoted to every phase Of life the
study Of literature. art, science, pre-
dominating. Such should be the clubs
Of the country folks that life upon the
farm would be out Of joint without it's
club. Give it trial.
