The sad intelligence of the drowning
of lames Murphy nu old pioneer of
this county came as a shock to his old
friends when it was reported on tint
streets last Saturday evening. For
somo time past he has been sutrering
with a cancer on his cheek and as his
enso was pronounced hopeless it is up
pjscd that he ended his misery by tak
ing his own life. Tho deed was com
mitted under a bridge of the B. & M.
southeast of the city. Tho funeral er
vices were conducted by Father Mo
Kctiua on Monday morning ami his
remains were laid to rest in the Catho
lic cemetery.
The renders of this paper no doubt
remember of leading several times in
past llvo or six months short articles
clipped from other stale papers in re
gard to traveliug grocery sharks, but
nevertheless last Monday these same
grocery men delivered a car load of
goods to people of this vicinity. In
conversation with tho portly mana
ger of tho outfit ho acknowledged in
tho presence of wituossess that ho had
made over 8000 off of tho peoplo of this
vicinity in tho past month nnd eveu
went so far as to say that tiie worse ho
"skinned" thorn tho bettor Ihoy liked
it. Perhaps those who patronizod this
outfit thought they wore gotling some
thing cheap ami the chances aro they
trot somo that was chenu us wns n.
knowledged by the fact that the outfit
matlo wuo on a single carload. The
quicker the people of this county
loam to let these smooth talkers alone
the bettor they will be off. Another
statemeut made was that this was the
first place that they had struck forn
long time that tho nowspapers had not
"roasted" them nnd said he was sorry
for it, as it advertised him und a few
minutes personal conversation or
rather "smooth talk" would fix the
newspaper story and ho could always
sell more goods. This is surely not a
very good outfit to tie to or buy foods
of if they can't wait till they get out of
town to tell how much they skinned
the county out of.

Hale and that bo was not an aspirant
for the emolument of a deputyship un

favored in election to the office. Of
course we do not wish to thrust iionnrs
upon tho gentleman if he is unwilling
to accept them and wo aid always will

them. We received our information
from tho utterances made by good

They may have been mistaken. In

Tho election of C. S. lieunctt to the

not detract anything from tho capable

it was nil over. He received tho nonii
