Some one was kind enough to send
to this office bogus half dollar, a very
rank specimen at that, which he or she
says was picked up near the depot at this
place. III the owner wants II, and cares
to take the risk of being caught with
such counterfeit, why it's here for him,
her or it. Don't all speak at once.
-"Those thinking about raising sweet
peas" said well known lover of flowers,
would do well to discard the wire netting
used for supporting the plants. 1t burns
the tender branches of the plants and
they are not near as thrifty as when the
old fashioned string is used" Here is a
little pointer it would be we'll for the
housewives to consider.
Seven professional nurses who assist
ed the unfortunate people of Butler dur
ing tho recent epidemic of typhoid fever,
have died from that disease and yielded
up their lives for others. There were 1870
of these brave and skilliul women en-
gagged in the work of caring for the
fever patients in Butler, and of this num-
Der twenty contracted the malady.
Mrs. Bates died early Tuesday morn
ing of last week at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Il. o. Whitton, of East
Hickory, from complication of diseases.
Her home was at st. Marys, Ohio, and
she came to Hickory some two months

prove beneficial, but the result was not
as hoped. Her age was about As years.

1t transpires that the new owner OF
the Chas, Bonner property, which recent
ly changed hands, is T. d. Collins, of
Nebraska, Pa, and that it was purchased
by that philanthropc gentleman as site
for new Methodist church edifice. 1t
is said Mr.. Collins intends to erect fine
stone building thereon, which will cost
in the nelghborhood of $4,000. This is
welcome news, not alone to the NJ. Il.
congregation, but to the people of our
town as well. Whether or not the build
ing will be stai ted this season is not def
nitely known.
With last week s issue of the Venan,
go Spectator IL. NJ. Irwin's connection
with the paper ceases, he having disposed
of his interest in the plant to his partner.
Arthur S. Martin. In common with all
the other members OF the craft we regret
exceedingly to note this shift, for we fear
it may take Mr.. Irwin, even for short
time, out of the editorial push, which
would be a regretable contemplation
among his long list of admirers, and we
hope, after a rest and recuperation, to
rear of his return to his first love. A. j.
Palm, well known writer, will be the
new editor of the Spectator.
According to West Monterey cor
respondent of the Clarion Democrat, Geo.
Carson, son of j. II. Carson of this place,
and Wylie Collins had very narrow es-
cape from drowning in the Allegheny riv-
er at that place on Saturday of last week
while out duck hunting. Mr.. Carson
while attempting to shoot at a large drove
of the ducks lost his balance and upset
the boat, throwing Mr.. Collins and him
self into the swift current. They both
succeeded in reaching shore, Collins los
ing his gun and one boot, and George
losing his hat, but saved his fowling
piece, when was borrowed one.
The Tidioute News of last Friday re-
ports that Frank son of c. T. Lay, while
coming up from fishing Thursday noon
on the railroad track, stepped from the
main track right in front of the hub fac
tory, on to the switch, not noticing local
freight which was backing toward him.
He was knocked down aud the wheels of
a car ran over his left leg just below
the knee, horribly crushing bones and
flesh. He was taken TO DR.. G. c. Kem-
ble's office, where he with DR.. Shugart
amputated the stump above the knee. 1t
is reported that within the past few days
blood poison has set in and tie physi-
clans fear fatal results.
The ST. Marys Gazette sums an i'm
portant matter up in the following point
ed paragraph: "Some people do not seem
to know that an editor does not know the
age, birth, nativity and history of every
man or woman who happens to die in the
neighborhood, and they expect an editor
to give at least column obituary notice
of the departed, while they themselves
make no effort TO furnish him with the
facts and data Of the PERSONS life. Such
people should know that when an editor
has announced the fact of a person s death
and when, where and how it occurred,
his duty as a news gatherer is ended. If
relatives want an obituary notice 1t is
their business to write it, or at least show
the editor the courtesy to furnish him the
facts to write about" and that promptly,
not waiting a week or two after the death
