He knows that this paper aims to adver- - tise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, 'I feel as though born anew,' and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could take up her household duties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery. This valuable-liniment is for sale by A. F. Long.

We have for a long time half suspected it, as we have often heard it was inhabited by angels. But, say, Mr. D. V. are they not the variety commonly known as swamp angels? Henry Hochbaum may be seen altn>®t a "y da y ?°* n K over 1S premises with a bottle 01 turpentine and whenever he sees a stray wire-worm whom he has reason to think has been committing depredations on his corn field, he at once catches the offender and, by way of retribution, administers a do;e. We have had several years experience in exaggerating and we honestly thought we could hold our own with almost anyone, but when it comes to telling about the qut er freaks of electricity we are free to admit we are not in it, but if Jacob wishes to match up against us on a snake story We will bet a coon-skin that we can hold our own with him. We would like very much to reciprocate the favor of our D. V. correspondent and trace his geneology back through, eighteen centuries, as he did ours, and if possible locate the parent stock which produced such a freak of literature and philosophy. But the truth is we are too busy setting out cabbage, planting “cowcumbers" and cussin’ potato-bugs, hence must ask our friend to excuse us. Charles Weise met with quite a serious accident Wednesday of last week. He was out working with his team and seeing the wind storm approaching, unhitched and went to the barn r After caring for the team he started to leave the barn and just as he was passing out a gust or wind caught the barn door and brought it around against him with such force that it broke his nose and for a time rendered him unconscious. At this writing he has so far recovered as to be about.

Dr. J. A. Timmons had the sad misfortune of losing a brindle rooster with a speckled breast, last Sunday. When last seen, he had his oars tiea together. Finder will please return the same and get the reward. The next time that Dr. Timmons takes a rooster we would advise him to tie it behind the buggy with a two-inch rope. Last Friday evening the young people of Dunnville and vicinity gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilmington and gave their son William, who recently returned from the Philippines, a pleasant surprise. After a social or chatting banquet, the guests were conducted to the dining room where supper was served to the hungries. By some way or other they got it in their heads that we were the superlative hungry fellow of the occasion, and brought a plate full of icecream and a spoon as big as a fire shovel and set at our stall. Goodness, we ate and ate and ate. After the banquet we departed wishing them all a happy time. We are very glad to have the privelege of having an oratorical collision with our most esteemed friend of the wilds of Virgie. He is the voice of one crying in the wilderness of Jasper, through the medium of the Jasper County Democrat, to the crestfallen people everywhere. He says unto them, through ambiguity, to look to Virgie, the Jericho of the commonwealth. We have beheld him through an intellectual telescope and he sparkles like a fixed star in one of the constellations of the second heaven. Wise as he is, he has erred in some of his polished beliefs. He narrowed the biblical Canaan to a small, moth-eaten, Virgified country of Asia, while in reality it is synonym for Edenic grandeur. Read your bible, Virgie, read your bible, and become a theological statesman. If you had the true gift of prophecy you would be a grand man, a regular old Gladstone. PARR. John Hamacher of Valparaiso, is visiting in this vicinity. A much needed refreshing shower fell Wednesday evening. J. F.

Mrs. Anna Clark, whose illness was mentioned last week, died on Saturday and was buried at the Catholic cemetery Monday. She leaves a father, mother, four brothers, a sister, and a young husband to mourn h»-r loss. She was married seventeen months on the day she died.- The bereaved relatives and friends have the sympathy of the community. CARD OF THANKS. We sincerely thank all for their kindness while our daughter lav on her death bed. G. J. Haste. (from another correspondent.] The sick in this community are all better at this writing. Miss May Warren’s smiling countenance was seen in our midst Sunday. Charles and John Martin are plastering a house for Tom Zimmerman this week. Marion Gant is moving into Jim Babcock’s property, lately purchased of Charley Fay. Grandma Martin talks of going to Dakota soon to join her two daughters who went in February. What do you think ? Alva Stevenson has gone to work. He is plowing corn this week. I wonder if that isn’t what caused the big rain? There is talk of a butcher shop being opened at this place. Good, I hope it will succeed, as we are getting tired of eating old strong bacon. We do not hear much talk about the ball game played here last Saturday. Wonder why? Perhaps the boys feel “kinder blue” the way Surrey beat them with their little boy players. But, never mind, the old men afe going to play them next Saturday and then you will see something did.
