The principal cause ot dissatisfaction is that Mr. Brashear was not a citizen of Rich Hilti at the time tl appointment was made. It is evident our neighbors are not in tavoer of carpet baggers.

About the weakest excuse for a news paper we have in this section of the state is the Hume Star. Its | editor has about as much back bone asacommon size chinz bug. He changes his views as often as 1s con- venient to keep on what heconsiders the popular side of every question. Such men are a disgrace to the pro- fession. The Cass County Democrat gives an account ot the marriage of Wm. B. Allen, son of the late banker, W.H. Allen. The marrage was very quiet and the young couple started immediately for their tuture home :n Colorado.

One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in our city for a long time was thatof Mrs. Nellie Eldridge, wite of Frank M. Eldridge, who died Suaday in a spasm, caused by child birth. She was about 1S years of age and had been married two years. Her maiden name was Les- lie, daughter of Mr. Lesiie of Rich Hil. She was a memter of the Methodist church in good standing, a loving. devoted wife and a true triend. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. R. the tampy residence.

It appears that Fell had a leg broken while in the employ ot the company by the too rapid descent of a cage in shaft No, 4 at Rich Hill, in 1882, and brought | suit against the company for dama- | zes, and got judgement tor $1,800. | | | i vs. Messrs. DeArmond & Smith, attor- neys for the company, appealed the case to the supreme court, hence the bnef. We flatter ourselves that the mechanical part of the work on the | briet is about the best job of the kind eyer turned outin Butler.
