Bige1oW.

After a rest of over week the
threshermen of our community
again began their strenuous work
last Tuesday.
Rev. Oberg left last Tuesday to
attend the Swedish Baptist confer
ence, which is in session at Chicago.
Reuben, the young son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Ole Nystrom has been &C.
verely ill, but at this writing is
greatly improved.
We are cory to note that our
highly esteemed friend and fellow
citizen E. F. Clover, did not receive
the nomination for clerk of courts.
He made good race being that his
antagonist was such an old Mobiles
county politician as Mr.. Humistion.
The fact that Bigelow went solid
for Mr.. Clover goes to show that
those who know him best know that
he is fully qualified for the position.
After stay of five or six weeks
in Indian Lake Miss Esther Blom-

Orjaln Of the Stamp.

The idea of prepaid envelope
originated in France, early in the
reign of Louis XIV, with M. de Val
flyer, who. in 1853, established, under
royal consent, a private penny post,
p,acing boxes. at the corners Of the
streets for the reception Of letters
wrapped in envelopes bought at Offices
established for that purpose. M. de
Valfyer also had printed certain forms
of "billets" or notes, applicable to tho
ordinary business among babitants Of
great towns, with Blanks which were
to be filed out with such special mat
ter Is might be desired.

1T is indeed deplorable that =
man shall be 30 profoundly fasci-
mated by the sport Of catching .
few fish that he will turn Al I'M
needing ear to an appeal when a
mans life is at stake. 1t is beyond
comprehension how a man can be
so unconcerned,'. etc. :
Will say as an answer that when
the nameless deplorer, posing as a
good samaritan, reaches the age Of
nearly seventy like myself and not
before, earnestly hope he will not
have lost any of his former strength,
vigor, health and bravery, and will
feel able to help with any heavy
burden whenever called upon.
For myself Il am sorry am now
unable to handle heavy burdens as
in my younger days, though my
reason given hereto meet with deaf
ears, or people not yet matured.
And as to the threats at the end OF
the article Ito whether the deeds
are good or bad they will b ~
membered. Suffice it to say that
I understand what is coming from
those good christian people, as
they call themselves that from the
fullness of their heart they speak,
and may I in the future, it any:is
left to me look out for myself.
Will at least say that it is consid'
cred by undersigned as a libel. and
if sustained hereto it will further be
considered under aspect. (

Ransom.

Everyone is hoping that the rainy
weather for this season is over, and
that we shall have fine dry fall. We
need fine weather to dry the corn and
put it in condition to crib; We need it
to dry up the ground and give op'
portunity to finish the blowing; and
we need it above all, perhaps, to give
farmers chance to get thor thresh-
ing done before the snow flies. The
roads, too, need some dry weather for
in some places they are badly cut up
and travel is slow and difficult.
Miss Bessie Hubbard, of Carthage,
Missouri, is visiting with the family
off. r. Graves, and with other friends
and relatives here in Mobiles. Mime
sofa air is great tonic, and to get
the full benefit of it she purposes to
stay several weeks. She can spend
few weeks very pleasantly with friends
and acquaintance for there are many
of them.
Ia. Milton, Ole Sorem and Will
Scott each sold some steers this week
to A. Yeske, our Bigelow stock buyer.
The price paid was from $3.50 to
$2,7O-not a bad price for cattle taken
from the pasture, and that had not
been fed any grain at all. We have
seen the day when such cattle would
not have sold for more than half the
money. Horses, too, command a
good price. Neighbor Sietsema sold
a horse the other day for $l65. At
such prices farmers can live.
Theodore Cramer tells me that his
potatoes are rotting badly, ard some
others tell the same story. There
WAS promise Of very good crop'of
potatoes, but if they rot as reported
the yield will be cut down quite a
little.
On Monday of this week the fall
term of school in the Center district
was opened with Miss Montgomery
of Lismore, as teacher. Mr.. julie, OF
Little Rock township, is teaching in
the Larsen district; Miss Mitchell OF
Bigelow, in the Kunkel district, and
Miss Cain, also Of Bigelow, in the
Graves district. Miss Sarah Downes
one of our Ransom school teachers
will begin her school in the Guernsey
district on Monday next. All the
five schools in the town will then be
in session. =,
Miss Carrie Sorem, another of oul
Ransom teachers has been engaged
to teach the same school that she
taught last year. She has an eight
months school, and will commence
fall term next Monday. Her school
is in Little Rock township.
The great interest felt in the edu-
cation Of the young is one of the most
encouraging signs of the times. Per-
haps in no department have we wit
messed more marked improvement
in the last few years than in onr
school system. The day of the
"Hoosier Schoolmaster" is past and
gone. but the end is not yet.

R .ADY TO SI0P BEEF TRUST
UNITED STATES WILL LOOK INTO
PROPOSED MERGER.
Federal Attorneys Are Notified of the
Alleged Formation of Big Cor
poration.

Washington, Oct 23.-The federal
government sat up and took notice
of the talk about the formation of
holding company to take over the
property and business of the beef
trust.
The notice amounts to q letter to
the attorneys in the districts in
which the acts of forming the cor
pOration may be taken, calling their
attention to the newspaper reports.
The letters were sent out as a mat
ter of routine business.
1t is vengeance as much as any
thing else that the officers of the fed
eral government desire. The unmer
ciful roasting that resulted from Gar
fields report giving the trust a clean
bill of health and the subsequent CIV
ing of the immunity bath as result
Of that report, has made the attor-
neys Of the department of justice ten
der on the subject of beef trust. They
have healthy desire to retrieve
themselves and wipe out the blot
caused by the freeing of the packers
because Garfield has asked them for
information.
But, nevertheless, the report that
trust is in process of forming is not
regarded here seriously, but is
thought to be a cold -blooded stock
jobbing scheme.
