Mr. Sam Linton has been authorized to issue burial permits for Pulaski and Jasper counties. The appointment has been approved by the proper State authorities. This will be a great convenience to the undertakers in the western part of Pulaski and the eastern part of Jasper counties, as heretofore, since the new law is in effect, they have experienced considerable trouble in obtaining these permits at the proper time.—Medaryville Advertiser. How *lear to my heart are the scenes of my boyhood, when dreams of old- days bring them once more to view! The wood pile, the saw buck (when some other boy would take hold of the saw to show what he oookldo); the dingy old smokehouse, the dirt floor within it, the cracks in the weatherboards, frequent and wide; where work most be kept up, when once you begin it, in smoking the slabs of fat bacon inside—the long sides of bacon, the rich, juicy bacon, the old greasy bacon that hung up inside. ■■■„. ■■ , U Montieello has another case of infanticide. Sunday afternoon some boys who were hunting rabbits in a thicket near the fair grounds, they discovered the remains of a fully developed female infant. The body was wrapped in a Chicago paper, of Oct 22 and then placed in a 25-pound flour sack which had contained floor manufactured by a Montieello firm, and partially buried near the Panhandle right-of-way. The remains were but slightly decayed, ami an investigation by the coroner revealed a plain case of mnider, it is said. The right side was badly bruised, several ribs being broken, and the right arm was missing, having been torn off at the shoulder.

The football season closed Thursday. In the forenoon the Lafayette high school team contested for honors at Riverside Athletic Park in this city with the Rensselaer high school team, score 18 to 0 in favor of Rensselaer. In the afternoon the Carson, Pirie-Scott team of Chicago, played the old team, 18 to 5 in Rensselaer’s favor. Jn the latter gajne the Chicago team’s best player was knocked out with four ribs broken in the first half of the game, and lay like one dead for an hour or so. Several others were temporarily disabled or knocked senseless during the game, but the application of a few bucketsful of cold water on the outside and brandy inside soon brought them round and they went ahead with the “sport.” A couple of enthusiastic girls who St too .close to the players were ocked down and trampled upon, but were not injured. Ob, but its lovely sport. Later, the Chicago player referred to was not so badly injured as first reported. He received a severe concussion and was unconscious for about a half hour, but no bones were broken.
