Claiks Enterprise: General interest will be aroused by the decision of the attorney general of the United States that a depositor may draw money from a bank on a check made out to himself without the use of a revenue stamp. A case was carried up from Missouri, where money was refused on the ground that the check wos unstamped.

Residents all along the line hope, that whatever company may fin ally secure the road, they will build westward. _ Something to be given away at P. C. Corrigan’s.

On last Friday, after being in total darkness for twelve years, her eyesight suddenly came to her and she can see to day as Well as ever. The circumstances, so far as we can learn, are as follows: Mrs. Palmer, some twelve years ago bad absesses form over both eyes, which ended in, total blindess. The physicians at various times examined the sightless orbs, and were of the opinion that possibly in future years she might regain her sight by the breaking and healing of the ab scesses. She bad year after year patiently waited, until ‘hope deferred maketh the heart afraid,' so at the present she had lost hope. But Friday she walked out into the yard she seemed to see faint rays of light throdghber closed eyelids. Pushing open the lids which for years had been closed, she could discern objects more or less plainly. In a short time the muscles of the lids regained strength and Mgan to act. As the eyes became more bsed to the light, objects were more clear, until i later the good old lady, who is probably about 60 years of age, was able to ex claim triumphantly and gladly, ‘Thank God, I can see once more.” Inhere is great rejoicing in the family and among her many friends and no more heartily rejoices over the miraculous event than the Star-Journal. { fwgta CiaUs —-MAKES HIS Headquarters..
