SECURE BAIL.

l'o.stotlirt* KmpIo.v!H iiml SilHiri' Itt'leaM'il I ndcr $."00 lloixl.

Guy Steele, the mail carrier, and Will Sidener. the stamping clerk in the local postollioe, who were arrested Wednesday by Postollico Inspectors Leatherman and Moore, had their pre liiuary hearing before United States Postal Commissioner Severson at Lafayette Wednesday. They both entered a plea of guilty to the charges preferred and were bound over to await the action of the Federal grand jury under 8500 bond. Hail was furnished for both the unfortunate young men and they returned home.

Expressions of sympathy are heard everywhere, and people generally are disposed to look upon their case with leniency. It is clearly evident from late developments tSat Mr. Steele especially, did not appreciate the gravity of his crime. Wednesday, after he had been placed under arrest by the inspectors and during a conversation with a postotlice oHicial, Mr. Steele asked if it was probable that he would lose his position, and seemed perfectly astounded when told that he would.

The penalty for the offense for which Messrs. Steele and Sidener were arrestee, is provided for under Section 1432 of the Postal Laws and Regulations—"Stealing or fraudulently obtaining mail, opening valuable letters. The punishment for such offense is imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary for not less than one year and not more than five years

During tlie coming winter the entire guard will be supplied with new uniforms and the U. S. army regulation caps. All the ollieers of the State militia will be assembled at Indianapolis during the winter to receive theoretical instruc tion.

l'roiluct of it 1'rlvate Mint. A new counterfeit dollar has made its appearance in this section. The new coin is dated 1SS8 and bears the New Orleans mint mark. Its most glaring fault is that no margin is left between the milling on the face of the coin and its edge. The lettering is also too large and much of it is poorly formed. The ollicials say alto that the word "Liberty" across the front of the Goddess' cap is much too prominent. Mujor Carter, of the Treasury Department, savs that the coin really contains more silver than a genuine dollar.

MRS. THOMPSON'S CONDITION.

IMan ol' Koinoving ll»r to Darlington A laii(lon«Ml On Arroutit ofn KoMlAtltllXMl. j1

The removal of Mrs. Will Thompson to the home of her parents in Darlington, which was proposed the first of the week, will, so it appears now, have to be completely abandoned.' She has not recovered from the relapse suffered some days ago and her conditiou is not at all encouraging. Dr. Uutchings reports that her temperature ranges from 100 in the morning to 102 in the vening that there is almost a complete absence of respiration in the right lung and that she has a slight cough. These symptoms are very unfavorable and she will remain at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson until her condition very materially and strongly improves.

Mr and Mrs. C. E. Thompson, of Darlington, visited their son. Will, at the jail yesterday, this being the first time Mrs. Thompson lias seen her son since the fatal night when he attempted to so cruelly murder his wife The meeting between mother and son, while necessarily a sad one, was devoid of anything dramatic. Thompson was brought from his cell into the corridor, where his mother av-aited him. She kissed him and asked in regard to his health and then talked to him on several subjocts of a private nature. Mr. Thompson talked to his son a few minutes, after which he and his wife left the jail and Will returned to hib cell. ..

A Model Small Farm.

A Jouknal man and bis wife had the pleasure of spending one day this week witn W. J. Coons and family who live in the southwest part of Un ion township. Mr. Coons is well known to many of our readers as tin correspondent from Rattlesnake. Mc farms 53!* acres, mostly under eulti vation, and a small amount in pasture land. As Montgomery county farms go his is not a largo place, but in his way Mr. Coonb is a model farmer anc runs a model farm. He is not ambi tious to run up a large bank account, and he puts by without even an inward struggle those opportunities which are such a temptation to farmers to add more acres and a worrying debt at the same time' He is unincumbered financially and knows enough to stay that way. At the same time he farms those S3.1., acres well. Not afoot of ground goes to waste, and every piece of machinery on the place is carefully kept under cover when not in use. Near the road stands a' modern house, which is kept neat as a pin by Mrs. Coons and her daughter Sarah. When it comes to tlie dinner words fail us, as indeed our appetites did before the mass of good things set before us.

An interesting piece of ground lies just back of the Coons farm, where, in the early days, J. W. Cumberland's father lived and died. Me had come ahead of his family from Ohio to homestead a piece of land and was living in a rude tent. One morning he started on the trail of a deer and followed it to the place where New Market now stands. Darkness come on and he was unable to find his way back. After a bitter struggle against the cold, during which he vainly tried to start afire with a Hint, he was frozen to death. The settlers found next morning that he had walked several miles in a circle. They buried him near his tent and the sunken grave was still visible when pointed out by Mr. Coons.

Mr. Geo. L. Oliver and Miss Lula M. Brown were married at the residence of the groom, on east Pike street, at 0 o'clock p. in. The bride was dressed in cream colored mull, trimmed in lace. Light refreshments were served. The presents wero many and beautiful. Rev. W. H. Saunders, of the A M. E. church, ofliciated. A large number of their white and colored friends were present and a pleasant time was had. Success to the happy couple.

Roy A. Gregg and Miss Lucile Graybill, of Ladoga, were happily married on Wednesday, the :td inst., in the presence of a company of select friends by Rev. 0. W. Stafford, at the residence of the otliciating minister, east of the fair grounds. These interesting young people are highly respected and are great favorites in society.
