There will be a meeting of the qualified
voters of this school district held at the
school house on October 6th, 1885, at
which time a vote will be taken on the
proposition to bond the district for $1,200.
The money is needed to aid in the erection
of a new school house and supplying it
with necessary aparatus. The amount
asked for is so small that there will likely
be but little opposition to the issuing of
bonds. The selection of a site for the
building will also be considered by the
meeting.

grain was put through Wednesday, the

barley were put through Thursday in a
manner perfectly satisfactory to the pro

J. It. Cobb returned from Jefferson
Monday; he informs us that last Saturday
morning Jas. Cummings, of Cummings
Park, north line of this county, started to
descend his well 250 feet in depth, when
abont ten feet from the bottom, as judged
from the ropejet out the well caved in
on him. The alarm was immediately'
given and neighbors set to work to dig
him out, expecting to reach the body some
time Sunday; but at this writing we have
not learned further particulars; he joined
farms with a Mr. Abernethy, his brother-in-law,
who our readers will remember,
was killed by falling in his well, 240 feet
in depth about a year ago.
Later. We learn that the digging
party succeeded in rescuing Mr. Cum
mings at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon;
after digging down some distance, he
could hear them nailing the curbing, and
finally could exchange words with the
rescuing party. His escape is almost mira
culous and he is to be congratulated.

Our community was startled Wednesday
evening by the report that Jas. R. Loudin
had committed suicide at the house of his
brother nugh Loudin, four miles west of
town. The coroner and a corps of
citizens went to tho disaster and found
James in the barn of his brother in the
throes of death. He had shot himself in
the ear with a pistol, blowing a fearful
hole in the side of his head, but he lived
three or four hours after the shooting was
done. A letter was found in his trunk,
written by the deceased which told how to
dispose of his property, and spoke of his
it love, and that he did not want to
live any longer. A young lady of Clay
Center is the object of his affections.
She is a sister of Mr. Hugh Loudin's wife,
and was at his residence when the dreadful
deed was done. The two had been in
company within a short time of his death ;
were seen in earnest conversation, but not
quarreling. The writer is of the opinion
that the young man waa very deeply in
love withtheyoung lady, that the latter
was well pleased with the intention of the
young man, but gave him to. understand
there was a bar to their marriasre, and
this he could not brook. He was to all
outward appearances in his right mind to
the very last moment; gave his sister-in-law
Mrs. Loudin a key to his trunk
that contained his letters and said he was
going awaj' probably never to return. She
asked him when he was going; he
replied between that and dark, and went
out and chatted with carpenters at work
on a building, then went to the barn
where he was found a short time after by
Mrs. Loudin in the agonies of death. The
shot was not heard because of the noise
of hammering on the building. The body
will be buried today, a funeral beinjr
reached in the Christain church. He

The Business Situation.
To date, what has the "improvement la
business" amounted to, and is there .any
thing real in it? There are a good many,
skeptics, and they are asking questiow.
It is to be presumed that nobody wOT
contest the statement that the nnaociai.
affairs of the country are in better condi
tion than a year ago, when we were still
suffering from the effects of the panic o'f
May and there was a deep seated fear of.
further important failure and breaches.
of trust But many people reiuse to
believe that there is any gain other tnaa
that of getting the panic element out of
the situation. Well, there has been con
siderable and sustained increase ib te
bank clearings ; an advance in some classes

years : a rise In cotton fabrics, with'
actions some weeks that for volume
compare favorably with those of correal
ponding weeks in the boom years; a
phenomenal demand for wool at
advancing prices; a somewhat better trade
in copper, tin, and lead; a great reduction
in the quantity of idle funds in the New
York banks; a lift In the stock market;
and a general return in confidence. To
these facts add the increased activity of
mills of various sorts; an abatement of
the disposition to reduce wages; the
small number of important failures; and, .
best of all, the abundant crops. Only
wheat has failed us. The other leading
products have done well or more than
well The recent fine weather has added
immensly to the wealth of the country.
A large crop of corn is now as good as a
certainty. The cotton crop insures pros
perity to the South and will give us a
profitable foreign trade. He would be a .
very exacting man who would ask for a
better outlook so far as the elements
entering directly into business are
concerned. There are some clouds in the ,
horizon, chief of which are the silver
question and the blacksmithing likely to
bo done on it by Congress the coming
winter. We shall probably have some
depression in trade later in the fall due to
the fear of Congress, but it ought to be
easy to dispose of the matter in such a
way as to cause no serious disturbance.
Q An event of last week indicates that the
revival is well sustained. The distribu
tion of staple goods were large, and
buyers are still numerous in the leading
markets. Money has not shown the
effects of revival except in the shrinkage
in the hoards of idle funds In the reserve
cities. The surplus reserve In New
York associated banks has decreased
about $13,600,000 since the 1st of June
and the loans have increased more than
$35,000,000, amounting now to upwards
of $328,000,000, but a portion of the funds
have gone to the account of deposits,
which are nearly $27,000,000 larger than
they were the 1st of June. While there is
a probability of some advance in the
rates for money during the fall, they
will be depressed for many months yet.
Prices of commodities are so low that a
large stock can be carried on what would
haye been considered a very small sum of
money a few years ago. In the ordinary
course of events we shall receive some
gold from abroad this season, but tho
imports do not promise to be heavy. Our
banks have a larger supply of the metal,
and the Bank of England has of late been
drawn onto such an extent that the dis
count rate will be raised at the first sign
of a movement to this country.
The situation in the stock market is not
by any means an unusual one. Securities
are in many cases selling at prices that
seem absurdly high, if the condition of
the properties is considered, but the bulls
have control and they have so impressed
themselves and others with the belief that
something of great importance is soon
coming to strenghthen the list that the
bears make little headway in their attacks.
There has been quite a decline from the
top and confident buying has followed on
the expectation that further improvement
in trunk-line affairs and abundant crops
will place the list on a higher level. In
the face of the good corn weather we have
these days it is imprudent to sell short,
and yet purchases must bo baaed largely
on the fact that the men of capiatl are
enlisted on the bull side.
