A Deserved Compliment.
Uncle Sammy Austin, cashier of the First National Bank, is one of the most genial and honest of men, and has the reputation of telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In fact
stone; 300 feet of shale and 140 feet in the lawyers rely upon his word implicitTrenton rock. After drilling through 20 feet of Trenton, three feet of shale was drilled through and Trenton again struck. As they went down two pockets of salt water were struck and the water pumped out clean. The casing was withdrawn Saturday. The people propose to open their pockets again and drill a well on the backbone near Whitesville.
ly, and they have frequently said uncle Sam (as he is commonly called) would tell the truth though it busted his bank wide open. In the case of Steele vs the Bank tried a short time ago, involving several thousand dollars, a witness was called to the stand and related the details very minutely of a conversation had with Mr. Austin. Mr. Austin was called in rebuttal and asked in regard to the conversation. "I can't remember the conversation. My memory is good (and sotto voce but loud enough for the jury to hear and with smothered indignation) I don't remember it, I can't remember something that never happened." The jury did themselves the credit and Mr. Austin the compliment of deciding the case in his favor in three minutes after leaving the box.
That Stiff.
Last Fait as was patent at the time to everyone residing in a certain section of the city a sawbones, who is now absent, brought homo with him from one of his expeditions tho carcass of of a negro. This he placed carefully In a karrel and secreted it in a cistern, assisted by one of his tenants. Tho M. D., when opportunity offered, erocted a kettlo in tho back yard run off some good strong lye, and dropping tho cadaver in soon had nothing but bleached bones. Tho neighbors all smolled tho perfume issuing from the boiling African, and wondered what was tho trouble. They only found out when the disciple of .Esculapius and the tenant quarreled over a matter of rent, when the tenant told all ho knew about it. The story has been the talk of tho West end for six months, and nny attempt to make a sensation out of it Is futile. Tho medical man In question runs his business and his practice In a style peculiarly his own and made no secret of the fact that ho bought the cadaver and for the purpose of getting the skeleton.
The Midland in Scott.
The Board of Commissioners was in special session Friday on business connected with the Midland railway tax in Scott township. The citizens of the township protested against paying the tax until the road was completed and trains running, as that was one of the stipulations upon which the said tax was voted. In this case as in a similar one from Brown township a few weeks since the Board gave the railroad a black eye. The tax will not be ordered collected until the road is completed according to the contract under which the aid was voted. Messrs. Moore and Crawford are now threatening to take up the iron from the extreme west as far east as Advance, Boone county. The Midland's great trouble is that it starts no place to go no where. At best it can only be a feeder for other lines. This was not discovered until lately and endless litigation will be the result, and probably the road will not be completed for years.

SAND BAGGED.
JOHN OGLESBAY KNOCKED AND ROBBED.
DOWN
The Art or Sand Bagging as Practiced In the Neighborhood of Brown's Valley.
Tho sand bag fraternity has put in an appearance at Brown's Valley, and last Saturday night plied his work in good style, and made thereby a raise of about three hundred dollars. About 10 o'clock at night John Oglesbay, a young farm hand was on his way home from Brown's Valley and when he was about a quarter of a mile from the village and passing through a gate, he was suddenly and violently attacked by two men who sprang from behind the posts of the gate. He struggled with them and at last was knocked down and his pockets rifled. He had about $300 in money on his person which was taken. In the struggle his watch was jerked from his pocket and thrown across the road where he found it Sunday morning. Young Oglesbay lives with his brother near Brown's Valley, and had earned the money thus stolen by hard work. The loss is heavy and all hope that, he may be successful in capturing the robber. If the robber was a straner he evidently had some pointers furnished by one who knew that Oglesbay had money and how he would go when he started home.
New Years Entertainment.
On New Years night the Sunday school in connection with the M. E. church of Roberts' Chapel, in the Breaks neighborhood, gave a good literary entertainment and had a very good congregation, although the weather was unfavorable. At the close of the exercises a collection was taken up to pay for a large lamp to be put up in the church yard. Arrangements were also made to hold another entertainment on Saturday evening, Jan. 28. As the closing work of the morning session of the Sunday school, the following persons were chosen as officers for the next six months: Alvin Breaks, Supt.; David C. Jackson, Asst. Supt.; Cora Zook, Sec.; Wm. Calvin Breaks, Treas.; Mrs. Eliza J. Jackson, Missionary Treas.; Etta Breaks, Organist; A. S. Shanklin, Chorister, and Maud Dewey and Walter Breaks, Librarians. The Sunday school is in a good condition and we hope for a prosperous year for it and the other church services. Prayer meeting on Thursday night of each week.

The Bachelors' Club.
The old Bachelors' Club held a banquet at the LaVeta Monday night. The address of the evening was made by J. A. Fox, who dwelt at length upon his reasons for not becoming a Benedict. There were rare views, rarely expressed and may perhaps be issued in pamphlet form for the benefit of the fraternity. Those present at the banquet were J. A. Fox, A. Waterbury, C. M. Waterbury, Wm. Cutts and others.
