Shiloh Chronicles.
Communicated.

|
| And iG came to pass that jeremiah set apart a
day to sell his focks, both horses and cattle. And
| it so happened that the same day Cain went
down into Shiloh and passing close by the sale of
jeremiah came unto the house of Balek the But
| ler And Cain tarried at the house of Balek for
| the space of three hours.
| Now when Balek had interpreted certain doings
of Boaz and Abram, Cain commanded Balek to
write concerning these things. And Cain himself
being filled with the spirit of the times, brought
together verses of doggerel likeunto and COM
pared with the babbling of poets.
Now Balek the Butler being a solitary man,
much given to meditation shut himself apart
Idrom- the world and wrote concerning the grasp
ing acts of Boaz and also the ability of Abram to
foretell the weight ofswine. But Balek did write
with such vengeance that portion of hiswritings
were not recorded, whereat he shut himself to
inner darkness and did not eat bread for the space
of six days.
And there dwelt in Shiloh a man called Jere-
boam, brother of Boaz. And Jereboam served
the people by keeping house set apart by the
Chief Ruler for the giving out of papers and
records of events throughout the land. And
Jereboam ruled his house with hand of iron.
And it came to pass that Jonadab, son of
Abram, went up into the house of Jereboam and
sat himself down upon bed in the house. And
it so happened that he rent the coverings on the
bed, whereat Jereboam became angry and said to
Jonadab get thee hence. So Jonadab after hay
ing poured out the vileness of his heart departed
down to the house OF his father Abram, where he
anointed himself with oil, having been sorely
bitten while in the .house of Jereboam. And
Jereboam set forth decree that no man should
dee with his feet the tapestries and coverings of
his dvan.
And 1t came to pass that a certain nam named
Samuel living in the city of Sunlight sought to
overthrow the house of Jereboam and cut off the
revenue whereby Jereboam had clothed himself
in raiment, and bestowed presents on the fair
damsels of Shiloh
Now when Jereboam had heard these things
he was much wrought upon, as was Boaz his
brother, who cried out, saying, no man shall be
my keeper. And Jereboam sent message to the
Chief Ruler that his house might be held up.
Now Solomon, whose surname is Bradun, dwelt
close to Shiloh and was In sympathy with Jere-
beam in his affiiotion. And 1t so happened that
Solomon came down to the house of Jereboam to
search the records. But when he had seen the
writings OF the scrihes he was sore displeased and
said fooishness Is bound up in the heart OF child.

Suicide of Geo. w. Clifford.

Geo. w. Clifford committed sui
eide by hanging himself at his
home, in Zion, last Wednesday
morning. About three o'clock
that morning he arose and dressed
and was heard to come down
stairs. This did not occasion any
alarm to the members of his family
as it was usual custom for Mr..
Clifford to get up and sit by the
fire until morning. Shortly after
five the colored hired hand came
to the barn to attend to his regular
work and noticed Mr.. Clifford in
the carriage house. After speak
ing and receiving no reply he found
that the body was suspended from
the rafters by a pair of rope pillow
lines. One foot was still resting in
the dearborn from which the fatal
step had been made. When the
alarm had been raised and the
body taken down life was found
to be extinct. Mr.. Clifford had
advertised public sale of his per
sonal effects tomorrow, intending to
break up housekeeping as his two
children had secured positions. away
from home. This fact made him
somewhat Respondent of late and
is the only thing that can be
ascribed for the rash deed. He
was widower, his wife having
died last May.
His funeral will be held tomor-
row, the date originally set for his
sale. Services will be held at the
house at IL O'Clock, interment at
West Nottingham cemetery.
