SELL OFF LAND.
Eighty Acres Belonging to County
Will Be Put Up at Auction
IN August.

The board of county commissioners
Yesterday afternoon decided to sell
at auction so acres of the county
100 acres west of the city. The sale
will be held some time in August
The decision of the commissioners to
sell off a part of the land was brought
about by the fact that the county is
in arrears to the state for the entire
tract and the proceeds of the sale VIII
be devoted to pay up the indebted
ness on the remaining portion. Audi
tor Honeycutt has written the state
land commissioner for statement
of the cOunty's Indebtedness.
The sale is expected to net at least
$500, as the commissioners have a
standing offer of $50 an acre, which is
considered extremely low. The pest
house is located on the tract TO be
sold and will either have to be moved
to the other 80 or torn down. AS the
hospital is the property of the city.
the council is expected to take up the
matter Of its disposal at tOnight's
meeting.

Has Received a Call.

Yorkville Enquirer, June 3: "Dur-
ing the service in the Presbyterian
church last Sunday morning, Rev.
w. G. Neville announced to his con-
gregation that he had received call
from a church in Alabama. He said
he had no desire to leave his present
charge, and he had not committed
himself with regard to accepting
this call but at the same time he
had decided to go to Alabama for the
purpose of looking over the field,
and consequently he would not fill
his pulpit as usual next Sunday.
During his residence in Yorkville
Mr.. Neville has become most posi-
tive and influential factor in all that
concerns the real good and we'll
being of the town and country sur
rounding, and if he should decide to
go to Alabama the loss to Yorkville
will be severe. The Enquirer feels
that it represents strong sentiment
when it expresses the hope that
something can be done to prevent
Mr.. Neville from severing his con-
nection with the Yorkville Presbyte-
rian church"

Terrific Hall storm in greenwood.

Greenwood, June 2. Greenwood
was visited by a most terrific hal
storm yesterday afternoon. The
central and western portions of the
town suffered most. Hail stones Of
enormous size fell in the streets
Many were measured that were over
six inches in circumference. Win.
dow panes were knocked out and
skylights smashed in. Stained glass
windows in the Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian churches were
pierced. About town the farms were
greatly damaged. Crops are totally
wrs lked. Some idea of the force
of the hail stones may be gathered
from the fact that the wires of the
long-distance Bell telephone line
were knocked from the poles. Seve-
raj little sparrows were picked up in
front OF the Oregon Hotel. The
little birds had had their lives crushed
out by the falling hail. The oldest
inhabitants are stumped. ssNever
saw anything like it BEFORE" is the
only comment.

An Effort to Dust smoot.

The General Assembly of the
Northern Presbyterian church, in
session at Los Angeles, CAL, last
week, adopted the following: Re-
solved, that this Assembly earnestly
calls upon the people of the United
States to use their utmost endeavor,
employing all honorable means, to
secure the expulsion of Apostle Reed
Smoot from the halls of the National
Senate, and urges the Senate itself,
and each member thereof, to exhaust
G legal means to this end in accord
d. 9 with the provisions of the Fede-
raj Constitution. This Assembly also
calls upon the people and the Con-
gress of the United States in both
Houses, and each member of each
House, to employ and exhaust all
legal means to secure such amend
ment to the Federal Constitution as
shall define a legal marriage as mono
gamic, and make polygamy under
every guise and practice a crime
against the United States, punish
able by adequate penalties, including
Observation-Disclosures and disqualifica-
tion to vote or hold Office in the

Aged Nesress Turning White.

Born an African as black as the
proverbial ace of spades, Georgia
Ann Hill, a negress, of Americus,
Ga, will soon be white woman, SO
far as appearances go, from the tips
OF her toes TO her crown.
The negress, who is 73 years old,
lives on the plantation of Elton @.
Parker, near this city, and up to
twelve years ago had no intimation
that she would ever be white this
side of the grave. She has never
expressed the wish "that her color
would fade" being entirely satisfied
with her lot. The whitening pro-
cess began at her feet and bas gradu-
ally gone higher until now she is
white all over with the exception of
her face, which is as black as ever.
The line of demarcation is clearly
seen on the back and is moving
higher. The white is not the dead
white of the result of disease, hut is
of the same pink hue as that of the
skin of Caucasian babe.
The old woman has received many
offers to go into shows, but has re-
fused all of them, saying that she
wishes to die on the plantation on
which she was born and where all
her life has been spent.

The "Blue.B .Baok's1 Enormous Sales.

The sales of some modern Ameri-
can novels have reached into the
hundreds of thousands, and two, one
of which is modern, the other a
classic, have passed the million mark.
Webster's old "Spelling Book" may
not have been as exciting as these
novels, but as a "seller" it surpassed
them all so far as to be in class by
itself. The history, recently pub
lished, of the firm which printed the
"Spelling Book" for great many
years, contains some interesting fig
ures. The smallest number sold dur
ing one year was more than o third
of million. in 1862; the largest,
more than million and half, in
1866; and during the entire thirty
five years when the firm in question
published the books more than 31,-
100000 copies were sold. 1t is
doubtful if any book except the Bible
ever equaled or even approached
this record .--Youth's Companion.

An Old Story.

A correspondent of the New Elec-
trio Magazine for May, 1869, (pub,
lished in Baltimore) wrote as follows
concerning lady in this State:
"There is a Mrs. Bolts living in
Abbeville District who is now 68
years of age. She said to the writer
81 have borne 12 children and have
raised II of them. l have never
been sick in my life and never paid
cent to doctor on my own ac-
count Mrs. Bolts lost two gallant
sons in the Mexican war. She had
in the Confederate struggle four
sons, five, sons-in-law, three grand
sons and two .nephews. She said,
Some of my sons got wounded, but
all of them came home except poor
Tom, and he was starved to death al
Elmira.' Some one remarked ia
Mrs. Bolts that she had constitution
and strength enough to last till she
was hundred. She replied, That's
nothing, why my mother lived till
she was 12O and was courted when
she was 117.'" ,s
Ii is to be regretted that Mrs
Bolts did not mention the age of the
man who addressed her mother
Certainly the woman who had the
distinction to be conrted at the as
founding age of III years must have
possessed some most attractive quail.
ties. This is the most remarkable
instance of loves old dream we have
ever heard of as occurring ir

The general relief fund has passed
$4,000. The Elks' fund has passed

the Governor now amounts to SO, 500.

North Topeka are safe and comfort

is in danger. Allthe homeless are
being well cared for
Over 200, deputies are guarding
property in North Topeka.
The only railroads operating out
of Topeka are the Missouri Pacific
south, and the Santa Fe west.
Governor Bailey may call an extra
session of the Kansas Legislature to
provide State relief for all sufferers
from floods in Kansas. He hopes
his appeal for help will bring enough
money to meet the emergency. If
it fails, he said, he would probably
ask the Legislature to make the
necessary appropriations.

No coaaasuce In Cleveland.

Hon. John III. Reagan, OF Texas,
the last surviving member of the
Confederate cabinet, takes no stock
in Mr.. Cleveland. The Judge was
at the Confederate reunion at New
Orleans, and on his return home he
delivered himself as follows TO a
newspaper correspondent
.There is not the slightest possi-
8bility of his being nominated. /
would rather vote for the blackest
kinHof a Republican than vote for
Cleveland. He has betrayed his
party into the hands of the money
power, and it is the money power
that is fostering this so-oalled Cleve-
land boom. The ovation given him
in ST. Louis was a scheme by the
moneyed men to give him boost.
1t was engineered by a former men,
ber of his cabinet. He oversbad-
owed both Bryan and Roosevelt. It
is said Bryan received over million
more votes than he did either time
he was elected. don't know whe-
ther ne is candidate or not. 1t is
claimed that he says he is in the
hands of his friends. We all knoY
who Cleveland's friends are. We
know that they were responsible for
the so-called ovation in ST. Louis,
which is seized upon in certain quar-
ters as having a meaning. Cleve-
landism has been the death bed of
innumerable Democrats. Take Mills,
of this State, and Blount, of Geor-
gia, for instance. Both are dead
politically. Mills was the only one
that survived a little bit, and he is
now hardly known in the councils in
his party, in which he formerly held
an important position. 1t is too
early to make forecast as to who
the next nominee will be-. / would
rather see Stone, of Missouri, get
the nomination more than any man
living. He is a Democrat Of the
true stripe and clean to the back
bone.H
