The days of the "sear and yellow
leaf are at hand.
W. E. Jackpon is building a new
residence otkhis farm south of town.
Commissioners were in session last
Mondny and Tuesday, proceedings
next week.
Mr. Henry Gilham. brother to
James and Charley, arrived from Wis
consin last Saturday.
We have several communications on
hand, which we cannot publish, on
account of the tax list taking up bo
much room.
We are forced to leave out two or
three colums of advertisements, while
Mr. Jones' story remains in the paper.
C. II. Potter has a nice eijrar case
on his counter, now, filled with good
cigars, we know whereof we speak,
for we sampled 'em.
In the report of the election of offi
cers for the Agricultural Society, it
should have been F. M. Snow of Pots
dam instead of A. Maxwel1
Dr. F. A. Ilall the well known den
tist is prepared to atttend to your
teeth and fix 'em up in shape.
If you have defective teeth you
should call on him.
We publish this week on the first
page a select story written by Mr
Jones the Co. Treasurer, it is not very
often that Mr. Jones can be induced
to get up a toiy for the paper, but we
feel sure that this last effusion of his
will prove ol interest to our renders,
and we shall keep it standing three
weeks.
Owing to circumstances over which
we had no control, the Chii'f failed to
appear last week, the subscribers will
loose nothing, however, as they get
their full number of papers all the
game. We are glad to state that we
are again able to walk to the office, and
unless w get ,on our back" again,
the paper will appear promptly every
Thursday, hereafter.
When we are unfortunate in any
re.-pect, and especialy w..en Mckness
comes upon us, then we find who is
real friends. Since the Chief family
have been afflicted with sickness we
havo found that we had many true
f' tends, and to those friends we as a
family extend our heartfelt thanks Tor
their kindness, and hope that though
wo may be unable to repay the debt
of gratitude that a Higher Power will
bless and reward them.

The Convention for the nomination
of county officers will bo he'd next
Saturday. Delegates should remem
ber that they have a grave duty to
perform, to them is entrusted the duty
of nominating good and competent
men to fill the various positions of
honor and trust in the county. They
connot be to careful in their selection,
as none but good and competent men
should be nominated. The people
will look to them to carry out thtir
wishes in tbe matter, and will place the
seal of condemnation on any one who
may be improperly influenced. We
hae faith in the integrity of the men
whom the people will select as dele
gates, and believe that the wishes of
people will not bo disregarded.
The family of the Rev. James Kirk
wood had a narrow escape of being
killed by lightning, during the thun
der storm on Tuesday forenoon, at the
begining of the storm Mrs, Kirk wood
was standing by the stove, and was
just about to push some wood into it
when the lightning came down
through the stove-pipe, shattering the
pine in its course, it burst out of the
pipe about 16 inches from where
31 rs. Kirkwook was standing, and
wheu on the stove looked like a large
ball of fire. There was a pail of wa
ter on the opposite bide of the stove
from where Mrs. Kirkwood was stan
ding, and the lightning passed from
the stove towards the pail which it up
set. It then went down through the
fl or tearing up several feet which was
scattered all over thchous. Mr?.
Kirkwood and Jesio their youngest
daughter who was sitting on the
lounge reading, wore sunned for some
tune hut otherwise providentially es
jwped without injury. i
