His Hand Only Is Off.
As was merely Loted in Wednes
day's edition, Mr. il'eper Parish, eon
of Mr. V b Parish, who lives near
White Hall, had the misfortune to
get his hand caught in a corn husk -er
that afternoon . The young man,
ahoiit 18 year3 of age, had on gloves
while feeding the machine. After
his hand went Ic. ween the roller he
almost instantaneously threw the
machine out of gear with the other
hand but it was too late. His hand
B8 badly lacerated, and to add to
the suffering of the young man, the
rollers were as if locked and his
band was fast, until some of the
bolts were loosened. Only his hand
is torn off after all. The physician
tmjointed the wrist, not leaving aoch
bad wound to heal.

We are informed that the Popu
hat candidates tried to hold a secret
meeting at the Plott echooi house
Wednesday night. The result was
two Populist candidates present and
plenty of Democrats, but not a
Populist auditor. It was of course
a good meeting with a pair of forlorn
exceptions.

The Second Lecture. ; - i -
The. lecture ;by Rey, Sttibblebine
in the court house; Wednesday night
was a success in every particular
axoept a large audience that we feel
sure would have been richly repaid
for attendance, sare the considera
tion that the stoves were not yet put
tip and the room was rather chilling
to admit of the highest degree of
appreciation.
The scenes on tne canvas were
very good and with the fluent 'lec
turer gaye ineighte into human ex
istence in the packed, Equallid re
cesses of the great city that we who
breathe the free air of an open and
sunshiny region can scarcely con
ceive.
Had the lecturer shown but the
dark side and fed the pessimist only
on the decaying and degenerating
food of moral, intellectual and
spiritual decadenne, it might have
been without merit, but the progre s
shown ix ameliorating the conditions
in various wayp, by tbe wealthy and
the pious, was the- silver lining to
the daiK picture. The beautiful
hospitals, Bchools, nurseriep, etc.,
where but a few years ago was hts
terally a hell on earth was calculated
to giye comfort to those who daily
pray "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy
Will be done."
Overcome evil with good. Over

One Minute Cough Cure, It is so
good children cry for it. It cures
croup, bronchitis, pneumonia, la
grippe and all throat and lung dis
eses. J P Gib8o"n.
