The consideration for one of the pieces of land enumerated in our real estate transfers this week, is “eight choice oak trees.” This is a new legal tender in dealing in land. Yesterday was observed as a day ot fasting and prayer for the conversion of 10,000 souls, l)y the M. E. Church congregations of this city. Why not have made the day one of fasting and prayer for the conversion of all who have not taken upon themselves the armor of Christ? The meetings were well attended, and the exercises were joined in heartily. Says an exchange: An editor being asked if he ever saw a baldheaded woman, replied: “No we never did. Nor did we ever see a woman waltzing around town in her shirt sleeves and run into every saloon she saw. We have never seen a woman go fishing with a bottle in her pocket, sit on the ground all day and go home drunk at night. Nor have we seen a woman yank off her coat and say she could lick any man in town. No, Clod bless her, she is not built that way.” OnlMonday last a young man from the neighborhood of, Coatsville, named Masten, aged about 15 years, had a section of the ulna, one of the bones of the forearm, about nine inches long, taken out by Dr. G. C. Smythe. An incision was made from the wrist to the elbow, and the bone which was badly deceased, was laid bare, the flesh, muscles, etc., were cut loose from the bone, and it was sawed off within about an inch and half of the elbow joint. The patient returned to his home, after eating a hearty supper on Monday evening, and the indications are that the wound will speedily heal and that he will have a good and useful

arm.

Fincustlo Peaces. The Fincastle Trotting Association held its Third Annual Meeting on Saturday last, on the Warrick track, just north of Fincastle. The weather was unfavorable, hence the crowd was not as large as expected, still there was a good attendance, the Jarger portion of the crowd holding outside tickets, causing Marshall Williams considerable trouble. The «.,ce3 were well contested and ffiost excellent, fifteen horses competing. G. Grimes was present, but had not sufficiently recovered from the injuries received at Crawfordsvllle, to take his

place ns a driver.

Divorced and Remarried.

Some weeks ago we noted that Mrs. Fannie Henrne, a former resident of Greencastle, had been divorced from her husband, Dr. J. C. Hearne. A special telegram dated San Diego, Cal., Sept. 24, says: “The utmost astonishment is felt in this city on account of fresh developments in the Hearne-Stillwell case, interest in which was lately revived by the divorce of Mrs. Stillwell from her hus-

band. Dr. J. C. Hearne.

Last Saturday morning Dr. Hearne and Mrs. Stillwell met by previous appointment at Judge Pierce's chamber. There were present but two witnesses. The contracting parties were asked: “If they wanted to,” and with one voice replied: “We do.” They were directed to stand up and the Judge in solemn cadence repeated: “As the hart pauteth for the water Drook,etc.,” and by virtue of authority in him vested, pronounced them husband and wife. The bride was dressed becomingly, but unostentatiously, while the groom was resplendent in a suit of mouse, or some such color, with coat cut en tail. Mrs. Hearne was very bitter in denunciation of her husband before

and after securing divorce. Her

complete change of face is causing a

great amount of gossip. Thus far the

contracting parties to the marriage have not resumed marital relations, but continue to reside apart.” “Progressive Anagrams" was the mental

foou that ministered to the wants of the

guests of Misses Kosa and Hattie Joslin, Wednesday afternoon, and “anthropometricai 'was the word uu which feasted. In the eontest late progressions were made, ind four minuets were given to each letter.

The alfnir was an inspiring one, and the

eontest was one of emulation, not aerimon ions. Mrs. J B Tucker was icost skillful

and won the flrat priie, and for the second place a tie resulted, whereupon another

word " ns given and the prize was won by Mrs. Ne! i n. The refreshments were daintv. so oainty that one lady afterwards lapsed into ecstasy and exclaimed to no inquisitive

one that thecake was the moat d« lieioua she

ever l isted- The p irlors were decorated

wit > rare good taste, and every thiuK pertain-

ing to the afternoon added to its pleasuies.
