An Aged Traveller.

Mrs. E. E. Ewing received q visit
this week from her uncle, George
W. McMurphey, Of Prescott, Wis,
who is on an extended trip through
the East, calling upon relatives,
whom he had not seen since 1876.
Mr.. Nc Nurphey is in his SD year,
but, despite his advanced age is re,
markably we'll preserved and active
enough for one many years younger.
He moved from near Odessa, Del,
in 1S45afp what is now western Wis
consin aid settled upon a tract OF
land at the junction of the st. Croix
and Mississippi rivers. He desired
to relinquish dairy farming three
years ago and offered to sell his farm
of 2SS acres, but could only get $50
per acre. AS farms in the southern
part of the state were selling for a
higher price he visited that section
to ascertain the cause and found
that the raising of tobacco was a
paying industry. Although leaf
of tobacco had never been raised in
his section and he knew nothing of
the business, he thoroughly studied
the conditions of the soil and climate
and decided he could raise as much
and fine tobacco as any one in the
state. Engaging practical tobacco
grower he made the attempt and
after raising two good crops which
more than paid for the work and
necessary extra buildings, he was
able to sell his farm for $40 an acre.
Here is a tip for our own farmers
who desire to sell at an advanced
price, thoroughly examine necessary
conditions and try something new.
Although past four score years,
Mr.. McMurphey is travelling alone.
He left Wisconsin last December
and after trip to New Orleans
proceeded to New York by boat.
From there he went to Delaware
and will return home via Buffalo,
Pittsburg and Chicago. After a
short stay in Wisconsin he intends
going to Oregon and from there
down the Pacific coast, through
California.

Wagon Shed Blown Down.

During the heavy downpour OF
rain on Saturday morning last,
which was accompanied by a
high wind that attained the
velocity of a tornado for a short
while, the two-story wagon shed
and grannary on the farm of David
Snyder, at Huntsville, was blown
down and completely wrecked. In
the upper story of the building at
the time were about forty bushels
of wheat, portion of which was
lost. Mr.. Snyder had fortunately
just hauled from the building
the day previous 125 bu. of shelled
corn.
The water-tank of the windmill
on the farm of Carlton Kimble,
near town, was also blown down, as
were numerous fences on farms in
this vicinity.

years, son of Lewis Williams, of
Mechanics Grove, Lancaster

with the above distressing result.
The engine of local freight on
the p, 3. q w. railroad ran into

of Chrome, had a narrow escape
from death Monday afternoon. In
company with his brother and sis.
ter he had climed upon a high rick

who witnessed the accident and
rescued him, would have been
crushed to death. Fortunately he
escaped with but little injury.

Near Rock Springs, Wyo., a big
cottonwood tree stood till a few
weeks ago with an antler of an elk
Embedded in the trunk. The wood
had grown around the antler and the
tale of how it came there is lost.
To a group of friends Ellen Terry
once said: "Acting is not like draw
ing. You make line. If it is
wrong you rub it out at once and
make, another. With acting that is
impossible; there is no altering-it
must stand. I often feel as if l
must cry to the audience: ooh, that
is wrong, not as I meant it to be;
let me act that part or sentence over
again."
Although Anthony Trollope never
smoked he liked being with those who
did. 1t soothed his nerves, he said,
and sent him to sleep. On one oc-
casion, when he had just returned
to London from South Africa, he was
talking at the Cosmopolitan club to
the late Lord Carnarvon, Lord Der
by, Froude, the historian; Lord
Wolseley, and one or two others equal
ly famous, on the future of the coun-
try. In the midst of the discussion
Trollope fell asleep and, after
quarter of an hours doze, he awoke,
shaking himself together like the
faithful, growing Newfoundland dog
he so much resembled. Dissentient
even in his Inconsistencies, he splut-
tered forth: 81 utterly disagree with
every one of you. What is it you
said?"

A Remarkable Case.

One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep.seated on the lungs, causing
pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.
Fenner, Marion, Ind, who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. She says: "The coughing and
straining so weakened me that I run
down in weight from I4S to 90 pounds.
I tried number of remedies to no avail
until I used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
cured me entirely of the cough, strength
ened my lungs and restored me to my
normal weight, health and strength"
