Harry Smith, son OF Sam Smith,
out in Melville township, died last
Tuesday night. He was three years
and four months old. We did not
learn any of the particulars of the
burial service this week.
j. r. Luse of Carroll, was in town
Tuesday shaking hands with his old
time friends. He always remembers
those with whom he labored with
and among so long and is always glad
OF an opportunity to get back among
them to greet them.
Henry Conboy has decided to go to
Kansas to be with his daughter, and
will soon depart for there. We did
not learn from him if he had disposed
OF his property but know his
intentions were so to do and to make
Kansas his future home.
The farmers of this vicinity are
somewhat discouraged over the out
look for corn picking. The dis
advantage of the summer seems to be
carried over into the winter and they
can scarcely get into the fields.
Thanksgiving will soon be here and
few will be through as they have in
years past.

Rhodell Passmore and Minnie M.
Krauel were united in marriage last
Tuesday night in Audubon by Ed.
b. Cousins and at his home. These
young people are we'll known to the
people OF this vicinity. They have
grown from early childhood in this
vicinity. They have gone to the
schools of this community and re-
ceived the education that fl It's them tor
American citizenship. They have
gone to the same social gatherings
that has bound them by ties of in
separable friendship to the COM
munity. They have labored for
various ones in the neighborhood
proving their ability to cope with
any one in the great field of strife and
action. They have had the same
petty trials that all in the community
have had and like others have risen
above them. But now their lives
change somewhat. The discordant
notes Of selfishness must be blended
into the broader anthem of mutual
forbearance. The thought of self
must be given up for the love of
others. Their friends Join in wishing
them prosperity and happiness and a
long life of usefulness in helping to
make the world better for their hav-
ing been in it.

GROWTH OF DRUG HABIT.
United States Has One Million Nor

United States Has One Million Nor
phine "Fiends."
New York, Nov. 17.-According to a
report just issued by the interdenom.
national committee for the suppress
sion OF drug addiction, the spread Of
the drug habit is increasing at an
alarming rate in this country. 1t is
asserted that there are more than
100000 morphine "fends" in the
United States, and that one person in
every hundred is addicted to drugs.
The vice is most prevalent among
the wealthy classes and among physi-
clans. Many of the latter, who have
become victims of drugs, have become
outcasts. Numbers of them have been
reclaimed by the committee and put
on their feet again.
Doctors are blamed for the spread
of the drug habit for prescribing drugs
to alleviate pain, their patients often
becoming "fiends."
A plea is made for sanitarium for
victims of the drug habit.

Colonel Butler and his wife, his two
sons Congressman James A. and Ed

Old Steel Strike Quarrel Revived al
Federation Convention.


Federation Convention.
New Orleans, Nov. 1S.-Either The
odore Shaffer, president of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, or Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor, is destined to pass under a
cloud. 1t is fight to the finish, with
the odds in favor of Gompers. The
trouble which so suddenly came to a
point in the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor yesterday is
an echo of the great strike against
the United States Steel company,
which was fought and lost last year
by the Amalgamated association under
the leadership of Shaffer. After his
association had been defeated Presi-
dent Shaffer did not hesitate to utter
charges Of serious nature against
President Gompers, as we'll as against
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers, and Frank Sargent of
the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen.
He asserted that the organizations
over which these men presided had,
while listening to the advice of their
leaders, refused to lend helping hand
to the Amalgamated association, and
had even fought against it in the
dark.
The charges were levelled against
Mr.. Gompers in particular. Delegate
Sheridan brought the resolutions be-
fore the convention and committee
was appointed to investigate the
| charges.

According to some reports, Rubino,
In the course of his examination be-

selected King Leopold for his attack
on account Of his majesty's inhuman
conduct toward his daughter, Princess
Stephanie, at the time of her mothers
death, and he also wished to show to

Will Hughes, who has been quite
sick for long time was able to get to
Ross last Tuesday it being his first
venture in long time.
Harry Bates ard Bid Smith traded
horses last Saturday and as both
think they got the best of the bar
gain both are satisfied.
Allie Quimby and Glen McCuen
went out to the pleasant country
home OF Ralph Miller the first of the
week and papered the house for him.
Miss Maud Ruhs, who was out
here from her home in Hancock
county, ILL.,, visiting with her broth
ers and sisters left last Thursday after

The old stock of goods formerly
owned by Polzin Fischer & Co. is no
longer a part of Gray. Everything
was packed up and shipped away
Tuesday. The stock has gone through
many changes during the year. Sever
al different parties have controlled it.
1t will now be joined with another
stock and all closed out 1t has been
many years since this building has
been vacant and will seem strange to
those who have been in the habit of
trading there for years. There was a
rumor that couple of young fellows
from Manning would open there but
most people thought it a mistake. 1t
is good opening for a furniture
stock. There is big field open and a
man with some capital could open and
soon grow good business.
The harvest festival was success in
every respect. Every committee work
ed hard in their department and made
the affair successful. The night was
dark and rainy and few could get in
from tne country but most every one
in town was out and the free will
offering was an extraordinary one and
the people are deserving of much
credit and praise for their liberality
A good program of instrumental and
vocal music was rendered and was
very pleasing to the audience Two
ping pong boards were kept busy by
the young people and the supper was
an elaborate affair. One of the chief
attractions however was the gypsy
fortune teller. Mrs. E. E. Beems was
dressed out in the full regalia of a
gypsy queen and seated beneath her
tepee of national colore she could not
tell their fortunes fast enough. Her
understanding of palmistry was a
revelation to many and created much
sport. A contest of the most popular
young lady resulted in the highest
vote for Clio Beers and second for
Ethel Audas. The amount taken was
1922 and every one was satisfied.
