The Ties’ good farmer friend, | Madison Owens, living in the neigh borhood of Altona, gave us a sub stantial call Monday. Mr. Owens said this had been a splendid winter for feeding stock, and scarcely any thing had gone to waste on the farm. Stock of all kinds had done well and the farmer was well satisfied with the prices of grain and stock. Last week while at the state capi tol we met Judge Gantt. He is the same genial whole souled southern gentleman as when he dispensed even and exact justiceto the litigants of this judicial district, and his ap pearance is the same, sans whiskers, which makes him iook a little odd to an old acquaintance on first sight.| His associates on the bench paid him a very high compliment by electing him presiding justice of division No. 1. Miss Ida R. Crume has been ap | pointed clerk of the State Board of} Agriculture, pending the settlement of the difficulty the Board is having | with the old secretary Chubback. | This is a great compliment to Miss | Crume and one which she in every way deserves.

A Little Three Year Old Wanders | Off and is Supposed to Have Drowned. Last Wednesday the little three/ year old son of Joe Eastburn, who lives just west of Cornland on the bauks of the Marias DesCygne river, the bottoms. The little fellow was) shortly missed and a diligent search | neighbors were aroused and the} whole country scoured, bat no trace | of the little fellow eould be found. Finally his tracks were found lead- ing down to the river The river bad been frozen over, aud the water had then gone down, letting the ice sink in the middle, waking a slip pery shoot from the bank. It is be lieved the little fellow went on the ice and slipped into the water and was drowued. Thirty or forty men worked from Thursday morning un til Sunday night cutung the ice and dragging the river trying to recover the body. It is believed that the body will not be recovered until the ice thaws, which will probably not occur for a mouth or s1x weeks. Severe Weather. Extreme cold weather is reported from every section of the country. Even the southern states are get- ting their share this winter. The reports from Memphis, Tenn., say the people are suffering from the cold, and all rivers are blocked with ice and snow, and many traius have been abandoned by their crews. The snow is from ten inches to three feet deep in eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina and eastern Kentucky, and all kiuds of labor has been suspended. The people living in the mountain regions reemed t: be suffering most. At Chattanooga the water supply for the city gave out by the fre ziug of the river and water pipes and in case of fire nut a drop of water could be secured. At Cincinnati the weather is severe and the chief of police has issued orders to bring into the station houses all destitute unemployed people Th: coal supply at Chicago is being ex hausted fast and a coal famine ix threatened The railroads are bad ly crippl-d by the scarsity and hay - been compelled to confiscate whole train loads entering the city. Sena ator Brice’s representatiye at Lima. has received orders to distribute to the destitute and suff-ring poor of that town 100 tons of coal and 100 barrels of flour. The report says Monday was the coldest day ever re- corded in Chicago. Here is the wail of the Lincol County Jcurnal on bearing the re turns from the recent election: “Backward turn backward, O time in your flight, give us a victory jus) for to night; wipe from our features the torrents of tears, take up the slack in the rope of the years. Turn the clock till it reads °88, blot ou: the present unmerciful fate; give us some hope for the nation’s concerns, change the returns, mister, change the returns. Backward, O stream of the age, seasoned to night with republican rage, blot out from our vision stuffed prophets, and crow, choke off democracy’s bluster and blow. Jerk from despair a few fragments of hope, keep a good eye as we rol! down the slope; never mind now its too late—what ascoop! Bring in the soup, mister, bring in the soup.” J B Belisle of Appleton City, dropped in to see us Wednesday. Henry T. Tilson of New Home was in Butler Wednesday and gave us a pleasant call. He says his wife is on a visit to relatives in ‘Texas. Our old friend, John Stevenson of Hudson township called while in the city Tuesday. An Old Man’s Suicide. Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 14.—Sam uel Biggerstaff, 67 years old, shot himself through the head at the home of his son on Moody avenue to nightand may die | For many years until two months’ ago, Bigger staff was city Marshal at Waverly, Mo. About a year ago he attempt- ed to arrest a man named Sauers. ) The latter resisted and the marshal shot athim. He missed his aim and the bullet killed Frank Good man, a friend of the marshal. This preyed on his mind and led to his self-destruction. The Plain Truth | Is good enough for Hood's Sarsapa- | | rilla—there is no need of embellish ment or sensationalism. Simply was decided that nothing could be done for him and he was shot. The household goods were scattered all along the sireet and a total wreck BRAND. McKIBBENS. was made of them. Mr. Hartsock horse and said that he would not have taken $100 fot him. what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that! itells the story of its merit. If you ‘have never realized its benefits a/ ‘single bottle will convince you it is !a good medicine.
