SOLICITORS GET ABOUT $600.

Over a month ago, Frank Lowery’s barn west of town caught fire and cremated eight head of horses, involving a loss of SIBOO without any insurance. His neighbors circulated subscription papers, suras ranging from one dollar to fifty were subscribed until the total amount secured and paid reached the generous sum of S6OO. In addition to this he had in the bank a similar amount which altogether made a sufficient sum to start him into farming again in good shape. Mr. Lowery feels exceptionally grateful for the generous responses which came from his friends at a time when he was about convinced from circumstances that this world was made up of troubles and disappointments.—Francesville Tribune.
