Ellendale have not appeared IN the
Chronicle, for several reasons Two
may be named as factors. One is the
lack of news since the election, and
the Cthel the astonishing and paraly-
zing results in all parts of the COun-
try of the ballotings. which paralyzed
Democrats generally. We are now get
ting over the effects of the defeat,
ana getting ready 10 swallow the bit
ter dose with fair amount of resle-
nation, and recovery is general.
Corn husking is going on as 'apid
as the weather permits and every
body is getting ready for winter. tie
supply of coal is very alarming to
those who failed to set d supply in
last summer, and wood has been call
ed upon to take the place OF coal. I his
is a hardship to some, who have hop
ed to never again chop fire wood, but
necessity has b1ough- them to work
again.
The driving horse of the Rev. Bar
raft injured itself so badly on cleo

fall he broke both knees. 1t is Sc
we're loss to the preacher. The good
people of his congregation in Ellen
dale quietly raised a purse of Sl15 and
presented it to him to purchase an
other horse. Rev. Barratt desires to
express to one and all his deep ap-
probation of this mark of kindness.
