YnleUde Celebration. The most joyous Christmas eyer known ainoe the first one will be the first of the next fcentury, when the whole Christian worlcrwil] join simultaneously in a grand .chorus, “Peace on earth.” That Christmas will be celebrated all over the world by oae of the most novel ceremouies ever oonceived,and preparations are now* being made for its successful consummation, says the St. Louis Republic. It is now planned to begiu the celebration with the ringing of the “Peace and Liberty Beli”in Jerusalem,and the committee having the celebration in charge lias invited the | Peace Bell committee to meet in the Holy I Land Christmas Eve, 1900,on the spot where the shepherds received the message, ‘‘Glory to God in the Highest.* Upon this occasion and at the same time! the cornerstone of the great temple to be j erected in the Holy Land will be laid. Hundreds are expected to attend this ceremony, as the celebration will be one of the most memorable events in the history of the Christian world. As now proposed, the bell will be connected with the cables reaching to all parts V of the earth. Then a half hour before the 1 time is set Jtor its ringing, all telegraphic I business will be stopped and every system / jn the world will be connected with the Jerusalem wire. The thousands of wires will speed the message to millions of waiting people when I the l>ell is rung. Every congregation in j Christendom wiil be assembled in its place I

of worship. When the t*u is rung, message, “Peace on Earth” will lie flashedj over the world at the same moment, and a grand, glorious chorus singing the doxulogv will rise from millions of throats. Never in the world’s history has there! such an idea been conceived and carried j out and nover has their been such a grand chorus as will raise their voices in praisej and rejoicing at the same time. The entire Chri*tiam,world will take parti and those who evolved the idea arc busy ; themselves preparing for the greatest Christian demonstration ever known.— Masomc Journal.. Bladder Troubles. The bladder wa< created for one purpose,! namely, a receptacle for the urine, and aSuch it is not liable to a»y form Of disease] except by one of two ways. The first way I is from the imperfect aetionof the kidneys, j The second way is from cureless local treatment. of other diseases. "ASii'LK Hi: ST KKKt. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidueyis the chief cause of bladder troubles. It is comforting to know that Dr. KilmerV j Swamp-Root fulfills every wish in quickly curing bladder and urinary troubles.

Springs *f the Oxarks. One of the grandest pieces of soenery in the Osarks is its wonderful springs and waterways. Shannon county, Missouri, has among the largest springs in the state. The Blue spriugs, the Bound Springs and the Bardsdale are the ones which possesses the greatest attractions. Many foreigners come to these springs to fish in the winter season. • The Blue spring, which receives its name from the appearance of its water, is located some eight miles east of Emiuence. This spring gushes from a high mouutain with mighty pressure which leads down a channel some twenty or thirty miles wider until it reaches the Current, that queenly little Colorado of the Ozarks. Many hunters pitch their tents here and amuse themselves through the long winter days by hunting and fishing and taking in the grand scenery which is to be seen in this part of the state. Round spring, which receives its name from its shape, is situated at the base of a large mountain, something like five miles from the little town of Gang. It is well blessed with fish, and possesses about the same attractions as Blue spring, yet its depth has never been ascertained. The Bardsdale is located seven miles west of Eminence, which gushes from the foot of an immense mountain, and with musical ripple of cool, sparkling water wends its way dowu the ravine to Zacks Fork river. This is a beautiful little stream, windiug its way aud rippling its course along through the hills and dales of Shannon

county, through this rocky canyon and around that monntaiu craig by this chaster of evergreens »tud' weeping willows, on past the county seat, and through other places not quite so noted, until at last emptying its pure and peaify waters into the placid bosom of the Current rivet. Yet one-third of its water is afforded by this spring. Of course, speculation is rife as to where the water which flows from this spring comes from. Many people who live at AUeyargue that the water comes from an underground river, whose source is thought to be Current river. They say when Current river “gets up” the spring will bec< me flush and rolled, and during the great freshet of July, 1896, when thousands of bushels of wheat in the shock svrr trashed away, bundles of wheat would boil up with the turbulent waters and fb'fct away. Tiic Alley roller mills are propelled by the power of this spring. This tuiii has the capacity of ‘J5 l^rrcls of flour every ”4 hours, and the proprietor. Y. A. Golden, states that sufficient power is furnished bv the rushing waters to run a dozen such mills. L. p. BlLDKRBACK. Hr Lint* Florida Skewing Car Service. The- L.. E. Si St. L. C. By..

They have already begun their organizational^ expect to elect iLcir entire ticket next year. S. G, Davenport, one . of the leading «iem<*«w* of Petersburg, was in Evansville Tuesday. He said he never recalled the time when the democrats of his county were more hopeful of success. There are many dissatisfied republicans in the county who aijl vote the democratic ticket. Mr. Daveuport is one of the young, aggressive democrats of Southern Indiana. Some of his friends have begun to bi*oiu him as4he next representative from Pike county.—Evansville Courier.

A shooting affair took place near Cato Wednesday night about eleven o'clock. The particulars are very meager, but it is said that a young man by the name of Blair accuse*! Henry Ward with some offense, which the lalter denied, and a fight ensued. While Blair and Ward were fighting on the ground thg former pulled a revolver and shot Ward in the right shoulder. Dr. Liufc went out early Thursday morning and made an examination and found that the ball had lodged against the bone. The wound is quite a serious one although not fatal. Chief Engineer E. E. Watts of the Black Diamond surveying corps, reports that they have just completed a line ten miles long between Algiers and Ireiand,in Pike county, which is without a single curve, lie states that the corps is advancing rapidly and that on Wednesday their camp was moved to near Jasper. Every place they have been the people are very enthusiastic for the road.—Vincennes Commercial. Every man, whether farmer, merchant or mechanic, should have his address printed on his envelope, to insure its return if not properly directed. Mauy a letter has l«een lost or missent, causing the sender to wouder why he did not receive a reply. This office will furnish and print 100 iiest quality envelopes for 50 cents. School teachers should also have them. Lee Holloa, eleven years old. was in town Wednesday with his violin and furnished the boys with some excellent music. The way be handles a violin is a surprise to everyone from the fact that he is only eleven Years old. He is a son of Henry Holloa, a prosperous fanner living about three miles uorth of town.—Winslow Era.

Obltnnry. Died, at her home near Spurgeon, December 18,1897, Mrs. Mahala Fleener. She was a member of one of the oldest families in the county. Her father, Peter Ferguson settled on a farm that now adjoins our town about the year 1835. Her father was a man of great influence. He raised a family of nine children, seveu boys and two girls, all the boys like their father, have always been men of influence, John, James and Henry being ordained ministers; Joseph has served two terms as county commissioner; Jaekson, two terms as county treasurer; Levi, two terms as county auditor, and now postmaster at Wellington, Kansas; Thomas, who died here some years ago, was a leading physician. Her only sister, Mary, has been dead about thirty years. She was the wife of Elder J. W. Richardson and mother of Hon. K. P. Kichardsou. The subject of this sketch was born September 18, 1886, and was married to Isaac W. Fleener in 1855, who died last September. She was the mother of ten children, six now living, two boys and four girls, ail married and living near here. She joined the Regular Baptist church here in 1864, and was a very devoted member until her death, always taking an active part in church and seldom ever missing a meeting. She was sick when h> r husband died and after his death she told her family she did not want to live as she had no fear of death and was only waiting for a summons to join her husband in the better land.

She was buried at Spurgeon last Sunday. Elder James Crane of Lynnville, preached her funeral. He preached a very able sermou and during his remarks said we -hould all try to live the life of Aunt Haly. That now she was dead we had cause to praise her as she hud always lived a life that was praised by all her friends during her life time. The children have lost a loving mother, the church a useful member and our county a good citizen. No Humbug. Foley's Honey and Tar does not claim to perform miracles. It does not claim to cure all cases of consumption or asthma. But it does claim to give comfort and relief in advanced stages of these diseases and to usually cure early stages. It is certainly worth trying by those afflicted or threatened with these dread diseases. Bergen & Oliphaut. ' d .K.4KKIAGE IJt'EMSiES. The KectMtary Docuuirulolwurd by the Comity Clerk.

Bad lor Bronchitis but extremely good for the sufferer from that harassing disease is Dr, Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. No medicine can compare with this great remedy in the prompt and permanent aid it gives in all bronchial affections. It stops the cough, soothes the irritated throat, and induces refreshing sleep. MI had a bronchial trouble of such a persistent and stubborn character that the doctor pronounced it inchrable with ordinary remedies, but recommended me to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. One bottle cured me.” j. a WOODSON, P. M„ Forest Hill, W. Va. “A short time ago I was taken with a severe attack of bronchitis, and neither physicians nor ordinary remedies gave me relief.
