Forest Hoffmann attended the marriage of Dr. Davis of Frankfort, to Miss Bessie North of Bluffton, at the home of the bride’s mother on Thursday as last week. Our stone quarries have shut down for the season owing to the raising of the river to overflowing which also stopped the completion of the graveling of our street when near two blocks were finished. A cough is not like a fever. It does not have to run a certain course. Cure . it quickly and effectually with One Minute Cough Cure, the best remedy I for all ages and for the most severe cases. We recommend it because it’s good. Page Blackburn.

The large bank barn on the Evans farm north of here, is going through the operation of being moved on account of the sand foundation and also that the owners are going to continue selling gravel from the pit which was , very close to the barn, making it | dangerous.

Fred and William Geyer, of east of Bobo, met with a streak of bail luck last Sunday evening while visiting, I their girls over in Root township. | I The boys drove over in buggies and ' took their girls home from church and i as it was very chilly we suppose the i boys were pretty well chilled and ; were obliged to stay awhile with the J girlsand warm up. As we imagine the boys stayed a little longer than their horses cared about staying, consequently they both broke loose and quietly skipped out and left the boys remaining with the girls. \\ hen the boys were ready to go home they were surprised to find that their horses were | i gone, as of course, they’ were elected , to hoof it all the way home in the \ mud. When they got home they | found their horses were not there, so I they lost no time but spent the reI mainder of the night in hunting their horses which they did not find until about noon the next day. The horses were not hurt nor the buggies were not damaged, but the joke is just as hard on the boys any way. M e advise the boys to try it again and not be discouraged over this affair.

An Attaek on Sevastopol. From where I was stationed I could ' see the dense masses of the atta< *‘“* I columns advance up the slope, then ■ the torrents of grape which met them would obscure their rauks * or . 8 “ ’ ment and hardly a man would be seen to remain. lat one time saw a body cl men many hundreds strong so eompktelv swept away by one discharge taat onlv a few of the rear rank remained when the iron storm went P« st j ino dead and dying could be clearly < listingnished lying in piles on the hillsic e and over their prostrata bodies fresh troops crowded on to meet the same fate. Many a manly heart and nervous j arm went down in the deadly struggle on that green hillside. No valor avail ed. The cannon's force was greater than the strength of man. How many ardent hopes were extinguished ! How many home circles destroyed and lives rendered miserable by the havoc of that hour none can tell, no more than they can imagine the bodilv agony or the grief for home and friends which was there endured I W hat would be the value of what is called “glory” if weighed on the field of battle among the dead? —Good W ords. Altama or Altamaha* There can, I suppose, be no doubt that in the lines in “The Deserted V illage”— To distant climes, a dreary scene. Where half the convex wo: hl >l.’.Hides between, Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they go Where wild Altaina murmurs to their woe— Goldsmith is alluding to the River Altamaba in Georgia, the colonization of which had taken place not long before. But his expressions are not very accurate. So far from being torrid in the strict sense of the word, the latitude of the mouth of the Altamaha is more thau 31 degrees. No part indeed of the present United States is located within the tropics. But, besides this, althuugh there are certainly rattlesnakes and, I believe, scorpions of a certain species iu Georgia, there are no tigers there to “wait their hapless prey, “which the poet reckons among the horrors of the region where some of the inhabitants of Auburn have gone.—Notes and Queries. A Roman road, 24 feet wide, paved with gray granite, in some places of great thickness and resting on a bed of concrete, has been discovered at Lyons Near it is a subterranean passage, the roof of which has fallen iu. It seems to have connected the governor’s palace with the amphitheater, of which remains have been found in a field. The passage is 8 feethigh and 2L 2 feet wide Turks make very poor miners, and nearly all the mines in the Ottoman empire are worked under concessions I granted by the government to foreigners. French and English companies hold the greater part of these privileges, for which they pay high rates. Manganese ore is the chief mineral product of Turkey, but lignite, boracide and copper are also found in large quan ti ties.

/ — — Deep Sea Diving is a subject that is always interesting because of the nove ty and danger ol all intrusions into the mysterious depths of old ocean. Our new Serial Story to begin next week, THE Jj REASURE OF SANTA ROSA REEF. affords many incidents of exciting adven-, ture, romantic beauty and historical inter- > est which cannot fail to instruct, amusel and entertain all who read it, and especially 1 so at this time because the sunken reef, about which the story hangs, is in the Caroline Islands, recently associated with . American history, and because the here; and heroine of the story are respectively I of American and Spanish birth. Look out for the opening chapters in our next issue.
