CARPENTER TOWNSHIP. BY DON’T TELL. We notice several farmers are making good use of the nice weather, by plowing and now the question arises: Does winter plowing pay, or is it best to wait till spring? We hope that question will be discussed at the Farmer’s Institute. • Considering the hard times, Geo. H. May’s property sold exceedingly well at his sale on the 4th inst Horses bought from S4O to $75 and cattle from 118 to ♦27 per head. If we were engineering the weather we'd reserve this beautiful weather for spring. But as we are not, we will take it as it comes. From the way Chas. Ulm cough t household and kitchen furniture at the sale, on 4th. we all expect to hear of another wedding soon. Mr. and Mrs. I. Z. McMurry received a Christmas present of which they are very proud. A daughter. Claud May has been on the sick list, but is able to be at school again. Mr. Flatt,is moving his family and household effects to Fairbury, 111.

REMINGTON.

BY TOPSX.

Jesse Lock wood, formerly of this place, but more recently of Morocco, died last Monday of consumption, at his home and his remains were brought here for burial, Wednesday. The funeral was under the auspicies of the I. O. O. F. lodge of this place. He had been here for a couple of weeks and just returned home it was though feeling better than for some time. The next that was heard from him was the news of his death. Quite an inconveinence has overtaken the business men of this place by the failure to receive mail from the west on the morning train as heretofore, caused, it is said, by the expiration of the contract with the hackman between Sheldon and State line, who refuses to renew at the same price and the authorities to pay more, John Blaize and Miss Clara C. Goble were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock last week. Less poultry has been bought at this place this winter than for years. Business duller than for years at this time of year. Health only fairly good. Weather fine. Roads good.

Obituary.

John Charles Reed, son of John W. and Eliza Reed, was born in Jordan township, this county, March 26,1857, and died Sunday, Dec. 31, 1893, at 11:15 p. in. He had been a sufferer of lung trouble for many years. He was patient in all his suffering. never murmuring and jovial in his nature. He had a strong love for his friends, that was true and abiding. One belief with him was that every good deed and noble thought lasted through the eternal ages. He was married to Miss May Kessinger, February 27, 1189. They walked side by side all these years, not a ripple disturbing the harmony wf their lives, ex-

cept that of declining health. The result of their union was two children, a boy and girl. Rev. B. F. Ferguson preached the funeral sermon at Egypt school house, where a large concourse of sorrowing friends gathered to see the loved form laid to rest in the Egypt cemetery, to await the resurrection morn. The paliiH of death are past; Labor and sorrow cease. And life's lon« warfare closed at lust. Ills soul Is bound in peace. A Friend.

JOHN BROWN'S RAID

Most of the Received Histories of the Episode are Incorrect. There has been] so much romance mixed up with the Brown raid that it becomes the duty of the historical student and investigator to get at the actual facts. A prominent citizen and able jurist of this country informs me that most of the published accounts of the Brown raid are imperfect, writes a Martin’s Ferry correspondent of the Washington Star. John Brown caijie here from his Adirondack hotoe in the autum of 1859. The I writer, during the past season, was a visitor to Essex county, N. Y., where Brown resided and is buried, and gathered many facts of his personal history. Brown passed his last night, while en route to Harper’s Ferry, with the late Mr. Norton, who informed me that in reply to a question as to his future movements, Brown said: “Watch the Tribune.”

When Brown squatted on the Maryland Heights he gave out that his object was mining, and when the boxes of pikes, guns, etc., arrived it was understood that they were mining tools. A man named Thompson, an important personage in the little army of invasion, was posted with others at the Potomac span of the iron bridge, while John Brown’s son and Lieutenant Stevens held the Shenandoah span. Thompson was captured and held a prisoner in the old brick hotel (not now standing), while Stevens and Brown were routed from their position and driven toward the armory. When near the Galt House they were fired on by some citizens concealed in that building. Young Brown was shot through the body, but succeeded in reaching the armory, when he called to his friends, “They’ve shot me,” but immediately reloaded, and seeing Ezra Beckham, mayor of the village and railroad agent, a popular and inoffensive man, shot him dead on the trestle. He soon aftei’ expired from his own wound. The citizens, learning of the death of Beckham, cried, “Blood for blood,” and promptly avenged the deed by hurrying Thompson to the bridge, where he was shot and thrown into the Potomac. Stevens was saved and taken to jail at Charlestown, where he was tried, condemned and executed.

The “Cheap Dollar.”

Prison Trusty. Lansing. Kansas.. “See here, oldDutchy, I think you’ve made a mistake! You did’ntgive me as much sugar for my dollar as you gave that hayseed for his.” “Veil, I ust tolt you how dat vas, Mr. Republican Editor: Dot hayseed say his tollar is honest; you say dot silver tollar you bays me ish one dishonest tollar, and not vort more ash 57 cents, and so I gif you ust so much sugar ash you tolt me in your baper dot tollar be wort, See?” “Aw, come off, Dutchy; my silver dollar passes for 100 cents everywhere. Here! give me the rest of my sugar.” “Veil vot you tolt dose beople dot silver tollar be only vort 57 cents?” 1;

‘ ‘Oh, that’s politics, you know The dollar is all right. It is worth 100 cents.

“You ust pick oop dot sugar and get mine store out mit it. Ov you told me dose lies, dem Republican pollyticks is ' lies. Dot vos burty fool make mit dose beoples bout dot pollyticks.” “See here, Dutchy, if you have confidence in the silver dollar, it will go all right; anyone will take it for 100 cents.”

“Veil, if you ust have gonfidence in dot sugar, it go for von toliar’s vort. You git out o’ here or I vissel oop my big dog, and he make you get home so quick like you say Shack Robinson.”
