In Company G, Twenty-sixth Indiana, during the war, were three brothers named -Wright. They c line back to their home in Fulton county, in broken health. Last week Hiiam Wright died suddenly of heart failure. While the family were sorrowing over his demise, and within three hours after Hiram’s death, George, his brother, also died of heart failure, and the next morning, Henry, the remaining brother, expired from the same cause. It was a remarkable coincidenee. thrpe brothers dying within fourteen hours, all with the same ailment.—Winamac Journal. The first case of the coming January term of court’s crop of divorces, was filed Tuesday. The plaintiff is Josiah Davisson, and he wants a divorce from Maggie M. Davisson, whose maiden, or at least unmarried, name was Gaines. They were married May sth 1894, and separated four months later, to a day; which is a rather brief married career; even for that cyclone district of matrimonial disturbances in which they live and whose center and principal port of entry is located somewhere between Had dick’s mill pond and the Black Marsh; with the “Blue Sea” and “South America” as tributary outposts. Josiah accuses Maggie of cruel and inhuman treatment and gives force to his accusations by a catalogue of specified acts, showing cruelty in divers and sundry forms, both in things which she persisted in doing, and in things which she persisted in not doing. She accused him, before others, of all kinds of immoral conduct, refused to cook his “grub,” b went to parties and dances without her knowledge, and all in spite of his most affectionate remonstrances. And on Sept. sth she left him for good. The parties live in Union tp.

Editors of the country weekly papers who read each others papers week after week, become attached to their many “brothers” although they have never seen each other. They note the advertisements in the local columns, the local news and the editorial comment with the same interest as though they were reading a paper from their boyhood home. Occasionally editors take issues with each other ap.d enter into a heated debate and sometimes get personal, but when they meet, all personal feelings are waived and that courteousness that is shown the visiting editor is not exemplified by an}; other class of workeis, and this is as it should be. The country weekly is more interesting than the large blanket sheet dailiespthe weekly is read from beginning to end, but the dailies are glanced at and cast aside. Generally one man does all the writing for the weekly paper and he must be the society man, the religious man, the sporting man and the fighting man, and he must go to any and all places; he must be a man without fear or favor, and then tviry week there are people who condemn him because he publishes the news and others who complain because he don’t. There is a fascination in this work, as tedious as it may be, and it is as seldom an editor leaves the work and leaves to stay, as it seldom an editor dies rich from the earnings of a weekly paper. —Exchange.
