JOHN JUMPS JOB.

John Bardwell, who was married recently to Mrs. Martin, at the time the couple came here from Fair Oaks and opened a resitauranit, took French leave Saturday when his wife was out of town. The couple had been getting along vefy agreeably since embarking in business here a few weeks -since, and his wife -is at a loss to knew why he should have acted so queerly. Mrs. Bordwell had been calle dto Rensselaer on account of the sickness of a relative, and while she was away he went to the bank and drew most of the money, which was deposited in Mrs. Bardwell's name, and departed for parts unknown. The bank made good to Mrs. Bordwell the amount he withdrew and will probably prosecute the man if he does not square the thing very early. Mrs. Bardwell is continuing her restaurant and lunch business, which has grown nicely. She is meeting considerable encouragement from her patrons.—Mt. Ayr Tribune.
