By previous arrangements, a j meeting was held in the PresbyJ terian church, on last Sunday I afternoon, for the purpose of or- ! ganizing the various churohes of j Rensselaer so that they could establish a relief fund to be used among the poor of this place. This is the first action that has been taken by our churches and it certainly is a move in the right direction* Their are several families in this place who are in actual need of help from our citizens and this is a matter that should not be neglected. The organization effected by the church was as follows; president, R. P. Benjamin; secretary, Mrs. Belle Kerr; treasurer, Mrs. J. M. Wasson. Committees from the various churches i were appointed to solicit among its respective members, and the entire-collection will be thrown into a general fund for the relief of the poor of this place. When the frost is on the win-1 dow and the kitchen pail is frozen; when the little icy needles come with every breath that blows, when chilblains make us sick and faint, and cold feet give us pains, it’s safe to bet wo all wish for summer days again. For while we sweat and fume around, in gauzy summer clothes, it’s easy enough to get cooled off as everybody knows; but it’s different in the winter, when the world is full of ice, and the weather is as hard to beat as a pair of loaded dice. We may talk about our climate, and about our spring and fall, but the balmy days of summer are the days that suit us all.

Fenton, auditor of Warren county, who had been indicted and charged jointly with Augustus Cronkhite, defaulting treasurer of that county with a conspiracy to embezzle $20,000 of the county funds, had his trial at Williamsport last week, before Judge Rabb and a jury. After being out but fifteen minutes the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, fully exonerated the auditor of the charge.—Benton Review, Newspaper editors and printers are not such a bad lot after all. Read what a valuable exchange says. “Of the 3,890 convicts in the state penitentiaries of Texas, there is not a printer or newspaper man, while there are bankers, doctors, photographers, ministers, bar keepers, cooks, barbers and members of all other callings and professions. The cogwheel of justice must have slipped an eccentric somewhere. O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff cf Tyler Co., W. Va., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say so. He was . almost prostrated with a cold when he procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. He says; “It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be an invaluable remedy for coughs and colds.” For sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. J. E.
