Wallace Murray, of Barkley towriship, unearthed quite a curiosity in the Moody swamp a few days ago. This relic appears in the shape of a pair of elk’s antlers of large proportion. They measure three feet in length and are in a good state of preservation. They were still attached to the skull bone when found. It is impossible to state how long these have lain hidden from view, but we should feel safe in saying, not less than sixty or seventy-five years. Mr. Murray values them highly as an old relic of the by gone pioneer days when animals of this kind roamed our fields. Fred, the 11-year old son of Ed Parcells, went hunting last Saturday afternoon, with a son of Jas. Thompson, and as they were returning home, about five o’clock, they were shooting at spots and marks along the way. When near town, the Thompson boy had gone ahead to fix up a target, when in some manner the gun which young Parcells held went off, the bullet entering the foot, between the third and fourth toes. The rifle was a 22 calibre, and the boy is now laid up with a rather severe wound. Matilda Kenton, wife of Elmer Kenton, who lives about six miles south of town, died last Sunday evening of consumption. She had been sick in bed about six weeks at the time of her death. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs, George Robinson, of Hanging Grove township. The deceased was buried last Tuesday at 11 o’clock, at the Osborne school house, in Hanging grove township. E. D. Gambel, of Peru, the old veteran book agent, is in town once again, representing the well known publishing house of P. F. Collier, of New York. He is making a specialty of J. Fenimore Cooper’s works, which he sells on installments of SI.OO per month.
