The papers are still praising the
heroic act Of Sheriff Joseph Merrill, of
Carrollton, Ga, in saving prisoner
from a mob. Albeit that prisoner was
an Afro-American, and a condemned
murderer and although he had to kill
one member and wound two others of
the mob to do so. Even the Washing
ton Post says: IF this man be not a
hero, pray show us one who is" 3.

A Foolish Separation EDded.

About the breaking out of the Civil
war, nearly forty years ago, Isham
Collins and his wife, of Mcdowell
County, w. Va, quarreled. One was
an abolishionist and one favored slave
holding. They separated and finally
were divorced. Afterward both of
them moved to Minnesota, where they
nave since lived. Through the infu-
ence of a son and daughter the aged
couple have been united Mr.. Collins
IS seventy-eight and his wife is sew
enty-five. This is not the first family
that was broken up by the slavery
question, though tits perhaps the last
one to be reunited since the emancipa-
ton Of the Slaves. .-.

A Cheap Farm.
Woodstock Record. I

=
Geo. Hughes, who owns farm west
of town, made a deal last week by
which he came into ownership of 200
acres of land near here for SIS per acre.
The land, which is located about six
miles south of woodstock. was owned
by an old hermit who lived in a log
house back in the woods of Ohio. The
old man was u miser and was i'm
mensely rich. altho he lived entirely
alone and had no communication with
the outside world other than was abb
solutely necessary. Mr.. Hughes has
rented the land for several years and
some time ago received n letter from
the old hermit asking for an offer on
the place. Mr.. II. took the train at
once for Ohio and closed a deal by
which he became possessor of the land
for twenty five dollars per acre. He
had an offer of $50 for the place as soon
as he came back. Rather quick profits.
