Eggs are scarce here at presen ut and
Ire selling at p cents per dozen.
The telephone makes the gather
ng Of election returns a quick and
easy task. and the time is probably
not far distant when every voting
precinct 10 the county will have this
means OF reporting its returns on elec
tion night.
The Iron Mountain railroad is hav.
ing all its depots along the line re-
painted in uniform color scheme,
which is buff, black and orange. The
painters have not reached the Potosi !
depot. and il they ever do, we fear the |
old shack will fall down in surprise at
the sight OF paint-pot and brush.
AT congregational meeting held
at the Presbyterian church last Sun
day it was voted to extend call to
the pastorate of the church to Rev.
john Kerr Of Montgomery City, Mo.
We understand that Mr. Kerr has
signified his willingness to accept such
call, and it is therefore probable
that the Presbyterians here will haye
their regular pastor again in a short
time

curiosity in town last Saturday, being

Mrs. Oliver Sloan of Caledonia died

the Presbyterian cemetery at that

Sloan was the widow OF the late Oliv-
er Sloan, one OF the Oldest and best
known citizens OF the south end Of
the county, whose aeath occurred sew
eral years ago. She had been a suffer

Few merchants are aware OF new
law that went into effect last July.
One merchant in nearby city is al
| ready grieying on account of his igno-
rance of the law to the extent of a
heavy fine imposed on him. Hereto
| fore it has been. customary to scratch
the stamp off Il cigar box. and if he SO
| desired, give it away Or do with it as
he should see tit SO long as the stamp
was destroyed. But this is no longer
the case. The merchant or dealer
must now destroy the box Immediate
!y after the cigars are gone. He must
at once remove the box from the case
and break it up. The law may seem
queer, but be sure it is needed or you
will be caught before you know it.

s,me neighbors went rabbit hunting
last Sunday morning aud about 10 80
O'Clock, while they were sitting around
on theground, d rabbit ran by Adolph
watching the rabbit, gra>ped his gun.
which was lying on the ground, by
blrIel and pulled it toward him. In
some way the gun was discharged,
land the load. which was OF buckshot,
STUCK his left arm between the elbow
aud shoulder, cutting the bone in two
and severing the large artery. None
OF his companions, it seems, knew
what to do in the emergency to stop
the flow of blood, and it was probably
forty tive minutes before Il physician
EcOuld be notified and reach him. His
condition continued to grow worse
until about $50 O'Clock. when he eX.
pired from the severity of the shock
and loss of blood. d.-Farmington Times.
