From the appearance of the advertising colnmne of the Commercial, Washington’s new paper, we ahoold judge that the “Old Man’s" last born was not being very enth usiac ticly supported by the bnsiness men. A Louisville advertisement runs: “Ice cream, $1.55 per gal.” The Louisville girls must like “frozen pudding," Up this way it only costs twenty cents per gal, as the darlings never eat but two plates of the Btuff. We clip the following bit of news from the Evansville Courier.of the 12 inst.: A cable to Mr. R. G. Hervey states that 800 tons of steel rails veie shipped from England Saturday for the Straight-lane road. The remainder of the 6.000 tons purchased will be shipped as speedily as possible.

Oil was poured on the troubled waters before any blood was shed. • Our worthy and sympathetic Sheriff is worrying his brain oyer a perplexing question, to wit: Whether Pete Young has melted and gone into thin air, or Is being utilized by some sewing machine man as a sample of a finely executed button hole. Heft firmly convinced, though, that he is out five dollars and that appearances are sometimes very deceitful.

The premium list for the Eleventh Annual Fair under the auspices of the Pike County Agricultural Society is now ready for distribution.

Stackhouse, one of the ablest divines in the Methodist Episcopal Church, will preach a funeral -sermon to the memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchins, wile of Arthur Hutchins, at 10:30 a. m. There is likely to be an immense audience present.to hear this gifted pulpit orator talk of the loved one who is sleeping, awaiting the resurrection. _ y Peter Youug, who was placed in' jail last week, escaped Saturday night. As will be remembered, he was shot in the thigh by the officer when arrested and had kept his lied constantly since being placed iu jail. On Saturday he appeared worse and complained a great deal of the excessive' heat, and, throngh mercy, Sheriff Scales left his cell door open during the night, and got up to find that hts bird had fiotfn. H$ is supposed to have had assistance from outside parties, as a wagon was heard driving out of town very last, starting from near the jail. Sheriff Scales is making every effort for his recapture. Mrs. Annie A. Smithton, of Auburn, N. Y., writes: “I had doctored for years.and tried various advertised was general^rostration. I believe 1 suffered every ill that flesh is heir to. The least exertion caused the greatest fatigue. I was tormented with dyspepsia and every irregularity. My blood seemed poisoned, pimples and sores were all over my body, nothing I tried ever gave me more than mere temporary relief, and I felt myself grooving worse and worse. Mr. Reynolds, the druggist, advised me to use Brown’Blron Bitters. From the very start 1 began to improve; now I do not feel like the same woman. I do hope others may find in it a relief from all their troubles. It does make a person feel so strong and well.” A small boy about the size of a man, barefooted, with his father’s shoes on,; had an empty bag upon his back containing two railroad tunnels and a bundle of empty bung holes. He wore a mutton chop coat with bean soup lining; cross-eyed in his right hand ; hair cut curly.

Abbott is dealing in cattle now. We have £. remarkably quiet saloon at this place. Fine prospect lor corn if wo can hare plenty of rain. Our singing teacher did not secure a class. Why not? We are afraid this hot weather will panse mnch sickness. Wheat harvest is over, and hay and oats harvest is the order of the day. We have an agent in our neighborhood canvassing for the ten dollar maps. Times are dull notwithstanding the circulation of money for harvest wages. We notice that the teachers aro making the educational column more interesting. Wm. Brock has gone into the butcher business at Winslow. We wish him success. Many of our farmers are preparing to work some on the railroad. The wages are liberal. We have not heard our Trustee inquiring for teachers yet. We suppose his mind is settled. Hay raisers complain very much of the prevalence of white blossom in their meadows. How can they prevent it? The Fourth of July celebration at Otwell was largely attended, with much enjoyment, notwithstanding the dust. Ladies when your fellows do not call before he sun iB set, take it as an evident fact that her are ashamed to oome before night, and do not entertain them. o.«.

< Church Dedication. The new United Brethren Church, two miles south of West Saratoga Springs was dedicated to the sAlemn worship of God on Sunday July 3, 1881. Rev. J. D. Current preached in the morning from John tii, 2. “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” etc. The subject was ably handled. Then $550 was asked for to pay off the indebt-, edness on the church, a part, of which was raised. Then the congregation was dismissed for dinner, of which there was an abundance. At 2 p.m. the congregation met at the ehnrch and Elder Current preached again from these words, “Ye are the salt of the earth.” The speaker very touchingly and ably portrayed the analogy existing between salt and the grace of God, viz: Salt is abundant, beautiful, purifying and saving, so the grace of God is abundant, beautiful, pnrying and preserving. After the conclusion of the sermon the remainder of the $550 claim on the edifice was met, and the entire cost, $1,031, having been provided for, the house was formally given to God. Bros. Andrew and Amon Atkinson have done nobly from first to last, having given one-half or more of the entire ambnnt. The house is a frame, 3#x48 feet, 16 foot story, 15 feet from lloor to ceiling. 65 feet from the ground to top of spire; two aisles, four windows to the side, two front and oner rear door, four chandeliers, two lamps in each, and two side lames, with reflector% over the rostrum. The bell weighs 375 lbs. The church is located in the southwestern part of the county, eight miles from the county seat, aud will be known as Atkinson’s Chapel. There were between 1,200 and 1,600 people present, about 180 babies less or mors, with two and three year olds in proportion. Si C. C. Rucker, Pastor. DIED.
