LEADERS OF LOW PRICES Passaic Ltems. The Scully agents were out in this neighborhood last week making per- sonal inspection of some of our best farms. They seem to have a grudge against this part of the moral vine- yard, and if they have the money and pay the price put upon the lands we see no reason why they cannot wreak out full vengeance on us. What’s killing the meadows? We notice spots of dead grass around from 2 to 10 feet square in our mead- ow. The dead tufts will lift right up from the ground as though they had been spaded under. Infact all the roots have been cut off just under the surface. In one place I found three different kinds of worms, and most of the places moles have been, but I think the latter were after the insect or worm that is killing the grass. Can anyone tell us what it is? The other day our genial friend, Col Alfred Shaffer, who, by the way, is one of the sunniest tempered, and youthful looking bachelors, just "ready to turn the period of fifty years, this side of the Indian Terri- tory, had a little taste of the unfit- ness of things from a little ineident that happened in his way. He was standing in a careless way out on the : 44, platform in front of the store when he noticed a young man and lady driving up. Being naturally polite, courteous and knowing that the young lady was of marriageable age, he at once straightened up and was thinking he might make a favorable impression, but imagine his crest- fallen look when the young man hal- loed out. ‘‘Hello, Uncle Al!” This ogy dark allusion to his age spoilt the whole thing, and got away with the young lady so bad she would not look at Col Al, and it was not long until he had resumed his natural shape, but we expect it will take at least two weeks before his peace of yiind returns, A pork packing concern has been inaugurated here. M L Wolfe, pres- ident; RM Wilcox, treasurer; E P Mosier, secretary; and J D Tathwell, solicitor. They slew a shoat of 110 pounds last week and if they can make it appear to pay they may kill another one this winter sometime. They have a new way of getting hot water, viz: a contribution from all the teakettles in the vicinity. Robt Deacon, of Deacon Bros & Co passed throught one day last week with a load of piping and pumps, on his way to Merwin. Mrs Forest Barnett, of Rich Hill, is visiting her relatives, John B Rice and family, this week. Mrs Rice and daughter, Miss Verta, paid relatives of Rich Hill, a visit last week. Mrs Harlow is out again. Last week’s TIMKs was a dandy, if} weare any judge of good reading, properly placed before the eye. Charley Fisk was out and purchas- ed some fine calves of us last week;. with which to top his bunch. They brought $20, but were beauties and} gives Charley the privilege of saying he has the best lot of calves any-/ where around. Think of it! Take fifty-six pounds of pure white corn to a mill and! give 19 pounds, or over one-third of it for toll. Itis a dirty outrage and we believe it is against the law. Atany rate, there ought to be a! limit to their greed if it must come} by statute. No wonder people com- plain. Weare under obligations to Mr William Kennedy for courtesies shown us lately. Mr Kennedy hasa ;fine farm of 240 acres, well improved and stocked with about 100 head of | horses and cattle besides hogs. The dry weather forced him to water his stock out of his well in the yard, he drawing it for them twice a day with buckets, but he says it makes no ehange in the amount of water in the well, it stands about 9 feet all time. If Mr Kennedy was a good democrat (he has some of the qualifications al- ready, reads the T1mks for one) he is fixed to be happy, and we therefore wish him and his family happiness. While Herman Heinberg and Amos Ganger were at work in a well last Friday by some unfortunate accident, | a bucket containing a drill and some other things which were being lower- ed broke loose and in the fall struck Mr. Ganger on the forearm breaking the large bone ina bad manner, the! Points sticking out through the skin. Dr Son set the broken limb and it is! doing all right now. Mr Chas J Holland, the wide-awake | committeeman of Summit township, j was in Passaic last Monday morning delivering fat hogs to our popular shipper, R M Wilcox. He reports everything going all right, politicaliy, in Summit. 8. | Nobody will ever know whether the Pittsburg man whe died on his wedding journey is to be pitied o; congratulated. ' Virginia Items. Kind friends if you wish the Virginia news another year, Do for Aaron what he does for you, tell him all the news you hear. | The Times goes to friends in other states that set up ’till eleven, To read what happens. you and what other folks do in 1897, Mrs B F Rider of Denison, Texas, is visiting the family of H P Nickell for a few weeks.

Elder Hunt preached at the M E church Friday and Saturday nights and conducted the quarterly meet- ing Sunday. It was sad news to the many friends of Mrs John Bosma when the word was brought that she was dead. Florence Wymer spent the most of her days near Virginia; she lived with the family of John Durrett for a number of years; was there when she married Mr Bosma. Mrs H F Smith of Mogolion, New Mexico, attended church at the M E church last Sunday. Mrs Smith is the daughter of William Stephens, who lived many years one mile and a half north of Virginia. Her sister, Miss Hattie, is teaching school in New Mexico. Thomas McElroy bought a house jof Peter Denning and moved it on his farm one mile east and two miles south of Virginia; he is going to build an addition to it. Mrs H H Flesher and daughter, | Miss Leona, of Butler, attended quarterly meeting at the M E church Sunday. There will be a supper at the Christian church Thanksging night. Mrs Mills informs us that her daughter wishes to hire out to do house work. Some one took atap off of Lewis Dudley’s buggy Sunday night. He | got as far as the blacksmith shop be- fore the wheel came off and let tite buggy down. He had a gentle horse, consequently no one washart. The fellow that does sach work ought to be looked after. We are so glad that Carr Dudley was = oe the day the township Mrs Julius Heckadon cf Rich Hill, is visiting here fora few days. Mrs John O’Rourke and son Peter, of Butler, attended the 5th birthday dinner of Miss Olivia A Esswein Thursday of last week; also Mrs Ad- | am and Mrs George were present. i J H Bateman and family started for Arkansas Monday. We are sorry to lose Harper for he was a good cit- izen and we can heartily recommend him to the citizens wherever he may | cast his lot. Philip Heckadon and wife visited their two sons, John and Julius and daughter, Mrs Wm Bones, of Rich | Hill, Saturday and Sunday. GH Esswein and wife attended | church at Butler Sunday and spent | the rest of the day with John: O’Rourke and family. Uncle Allen Cassity was removed to his home in Butler Saturday by his physician, Dr Renick, from the home of Joe T Whinnery, where he has been for some time. He is fail- ing fast and will soon cross over the dark river where he will be at rest.
