Miss Anderson, the St. Louis young lady who inaugurated the Hobson kissing bee, is shortly to be married to a young gentleman of Texas.

Circuit court convened on Tues- day morning with Judge Graves on the bench. Nothing of importance transpired at the Tuesday or Wed. nesday sessions.

A DeArmond, the ccn- gressman from this district, is es- tablishing a reputation abroad, not only for his clean statesmanship, but for his oratorical ability. He spoke at Boston last week and at Reading, Pa, Monday night of this week, on the occasion of the observ- ance of Jackson Day by the Ameri ean club. He was enthusiastically received at both places.—Review. To judge from the tone of the Mirror, the little tewo of Merwin is being over run with jointists, and the better class of citizens are very much exerciséd about it. The Mir- ror, while condemning the jointists, very wisely and properly advises against violence and counsels lawful measures in ridding the town of these obnoxious characters and their nefarious traffic.

James Keeton, a Prominent Farmer, Arrested for Incest—His Sister the Complainant. James Keeton, a prominent farmer | of Elkhart township, was arrested on Sunday by Sheriff Mudd and | deputy McCann, on a warrant sworn | out before Justice of the Peaee James Cougblin, by bis balf sister Mra. Eva Barnett, charging him with adultery with his sister Alice Keeton, who is in a delieate con dition. The justice fixed his bond at $1500, in default of which he was lodged in jail to await his prelimire ary hearing before Squire Coughlin on January 21st. James Keston’s wifa has been dead about ten years and his sisters have been keeping house for him. His married sister, Mrs. Barnett, we understand, charges thet he tried to ruin her before her marriage. We understand there is much excitement and indigaation among the neigh- bors, to the extent that it would be unsafe for him to trust bis neck that locality until he bas purged himself of this charge. Keeton is an old settler and has heretofore borne a good reputation, jand it is to be hoped that be will prove himself innocent. He strenu- ously denies the charges. even in The Bates Cousty Bank.
