The stock was satisfactory and accepted without complaint or dispute, and (ho money, amounting to $750, was paid over. The contractor then Went out to superintend loading them 04 (tie cars. Fifteen or twenty minutes afterwards he returned and told Mr. that lie (the Monticello jiian) cither had lost ten dollars or Had overpaid him thatmuch. Mr. Nowels took the roll of bills out of his pocket and gave them over to the man to be recounted. After fumbling the money over the man gathered it together info his hand and told Mr. Nowels that; lie would not receive the hogs and would keep the money without another contract was consented to. To this Mr. Nowels objected. After a parley that suggested arrest arid the possibilities of a lakeside resort in the near future,, the Monticello financier returned his called loan. This is one instance at least where the financial tactics for which Monticello people are becoming notorious failed of success. At the regular monthly meeting of the Jasper County Temperence Union for August, 1879, held at the I’resbyteriaii church Monday nig I it, officers were elected for the succeeding three months.us follows: D.

It was decided to maintain the organization which has proven popular since Us formation, now four or five years, and Which h:es kept alive a healthy and strong temperance sentiment among the youthful classes. This organization will gladly co-operate as an ally with any ami ull'uiovenieuts to cheek and suppress vice, but for the presehf at least it does not feel the necessity for being absorbed by any other. As heretofore the regular meetings Of the societv will be held on the first Monday night of each month, alternating between the Christian, Methodist and Presbyterian churches.
