Last October Jason O. Moore, of Bdthel. had his foot irj ired from be ing stepped on by a horse. The hora'a foot injured the g.eat toe on one of Mr. Moore's feet. Amputation of the toe wa necessary. Since that time the fl sh baa twice healed up in a nat ural and satisfactory manner, but the bone has not healed in the least and two more amputations have been nec essary. Today Capt. . K.. Coneld was in this city to consult Drs. J. R and II. H. WeUt as to the advisability of a further amputation which appears to be necessary.

INCORPORATED.

REILEV & CINCIXV4TI Electric Railway Company Organized and Incorporated Under the Laws of Our Sister State Something of a Surprise to Local People Looks Like Business For Sure. t The following article from the Hamilton Republican contain i surprising news: "The incorporation yesterday of the Richmond, Oxford. Reily & Cincin nati Electric Railway Co , whose prin cioal offii'-e is to be at R-iley, reveals a new pbae in the Richmond electric railway prt jet. The incorporators are Oxford and Reiley business men. and the nominal eapitai of the com pany is $2,000. Articles of incorporation were is sued by the secretary of state t Caleb A. Sbera and A. F. 8 oan of Oiford, J. F. U llesoie. H. H Smith, M. E Pye, H. L Roll ard J. M. Duncan. Ibe circumstances of the organiza tion of this company indicate that Hamilton is not to be touched by the new line in the evert of its ever being constructed. It is taid that the com pany hopes to run tH-ough to Cincinnati on the Colerin pike. It is known that a full understanding f x'sts between the Oxford and Richmond promoters, and tho incorporatioi of tie company may be regarded as the fi-ft overt step towards the construction of the Richmond-Cincinnati line." The capital stock is evidently mis stated, as it should perhaps be $2,000,000 or nearly so much. The matter of leaving Hamilton out f tho q let tion is perhaps not true, so far as Richmond's ultimate intentions are concerned. BADLY FROZEN.

GOLDEN WEDDING Celebrated bv Mr. and Mrs. Xathan of Bethel, Ind. Harlan On Saturday, January 21, 1S93, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Harlan was the scene, of a joyous eel b ration in memory of their weddiDg day filty years ago. The day was a most beautiful one. The winter sun put forth its bright. golden rays, and it seemed as though nature adorned herself in her grandest attire that she might add to the pleas ures of this happy event. Invitations had ben sent to the brothers, sisters, cail dren, grandchildren and a few aged friends of the honored couple. and all responded by their presence but a brother and sister of the groom, and a sister of the bride, who on ac count of distance could not attend. At an early hour the guests had as sembled and the forenoon was spent in music and social " cotverswtipr, the older ones talking of the . past, the voune ones of the future, and tbe littie ones had nothing to think of but the pleasures of the hour. At 12 o'clock all present were invited to the dicing room, where a bounteous dinner awaited to be served to the welconed guests, consisting of thirty-nine p ople, from Uncle Benjamin Moorman, aged eighty-nine, Lucinda Anderson, sister of tbe groom, eighty-eight, A A." Irelan, eighty years old, to the great grand-daughter, twenty months old. After et j ying the festivities the guests vithdrew 1o tne parlor, lb" program for the afternoon was opered by a song by froi. and Mrs r. t Addleman, "The Old House at Hoie," followed by prayer by H. A. Hsrriso.s of Union City. The anniversary address was then delivered by H. A. Hariison, in which he ge the turpose of our met ting, a vivid description of the customs. dress, childhood scenes and incide. ti of half a century ago, also a biography of the lives of the two of wh:ch we might give briefly. Nathan Harlan was born in this hous) - September 16. 1831, nearly sixty-eighth years aeo. Sarah TiUson, his wife, was born October , lb-S3, in Harrison township. Dark county. O. They were married January 18, Is 19. To this anion five children have been born, two girls and three boys. All are living and are present today except one son, who died about fortytwo years ago. As to political life, when the Republican party was born Mr. Harlan was born with it ani has lived with it continually. He has served eight years as township trustee, which speaks well of his work. He has been twice elected to the state leg- - ! islatnre and served faithfully in the . I fifty- first and fifty-fourth assemblies in l ' the state of Indiana.

The day's program was closed by a'l sieging those sweet old hymns, Xert-r My God to Tbe " and "God Be With f-Tou Till We Meet Again." This occasion was enj yed exceed ingly by tbe br da and groom as w li as ail orfaers. and the day will eyr b rernemberf d as indeed a golden one in the minds cf alt.

The Liberty Herald Would Rather t Have Electric Road Connection With Us. If all rumors about proposed electric lines a-e tra, says the Liberty Herald, this part of the couutry will be thoroughly bound together. A nad from Richmond to Connersville in the Clodfelter system has been dcided upon. In our opinion, lrora a prticnl standpoint, these elect' ie rtd will only ba a convenience th3y will have no efft upou bu iness or trad a in the s-ua'l places where they touch. Tbe larger to'srns and cities will be the only oaes benefited by the carrying or passengers. rh.s is but natural- the larger towns have more attractions, more ' business. and can enaff out the merchatts in the smaller places. It has long ten held that a road con necting Liberty to Richmond would be fatal to our business interests, and College Corner were they on the line of a road between Hamilton and Richmond, would suffer iu a business way. The electric road will come here some time in the future, but unless it comes to us from some undeveloped commercial territory, we are better off without it from a business standpoint.

Caotosa watch 8,fr EH Svnffa !- Math Xtastlayaf Him la Brtdaa Swaat fclmpUelty la Burmah-Waarataa Brtdaa Ear Ara Bou4-A Bridal Caliaetlaa. The wooing o't In many countries varies not a whit from the customs and ceremonies in vogue when the world was very young. For example, now. as centuries go, a bonfire plays an important part ot every wedding celebrated in Paris, the marriage cere mony being read before one. The planting of a nr tree Is one of the ceremonies attending a Swedish wedding, which usually lasts several days. A peasant bride is adorned with her friends' trinkets, bracelets, neck laces and rings, which they hang upon her bead, neck, arms, bodice and even upon her shoes. Then a silver ring Is placed In one shoe for good luck. in isorway the bride does not wear a wedding veil, but a big headdress, which towers high above her brow. In Bulgaria all newly married women are obliged to remain dumb for a month after marriage, except when addressed by their husbands. When It is desirable to remove this restriction permanently the husband presents her with a gift, and then she can chatter to her heart's content. If a girl marries in Russia without the consent of her parents she is sent to prison and deprived of her share of the family property. In Lithuania, a province of Russia, it is customary that tbe bride's ears should be boxed before tbe marriage ceremony. Xo matter how tenderhearted the mother may be, she makes it a point to administer a hearty smack to her daughter in the presence of 'witnesses, and a note is made of the mil. jut? uioiutT a iiueiiuou is a K.111U one, as the reason for it is to protect the bride should her marriage prove an unhappy one. In that ca.se she will sue for a divorce, and her plea will be that she was forced Into the marriage against her will, and on that score the verdict of the judjje will be In her favor. - Of all the marriage rites of which one ever heard, those of lturniali bear away the palm for consclseness and eweet simplicity. Here it is upon the dusky lady that the pleasing duties of courtship devolve. She sees a youth whom she deems calculated to make her happy, and forthwith offers him a stick of candy. If he accepts her proposal he promptly eats tbe token ' of affection, and they are thereby made man and wife. There la no further ceremony, and no witnesses are necessary. In the act of eating alone this most primitive marriage rite consists. But if. on the contrary, tbe youth Is not willing, he assures her that that particular kind of candy Is not to his taste, and the maiden must seek elsewhere for one more appreciative of her candy and of her affections. In Hungary, In certain rural districts, a very curious custom prevails, which Is very popular among the maidens who are not possessed of a dowry. On the morning of her wedding It Is the custom of tbe bride to wash the bands and faces of the assembled ri ho In return throw -Tor these ablutions hich the to her 1 he simpuefit and perhaps the most Impressive marriage ceremony Is that In use among the Cherokee Indians. The couple Join hands over a running stream, which is symbolic of the desire that their lives shall thereafter flow on in the same channel. An old marriage custom obtRins In the Island of Hhnla. opposite the island of Rhodes. The Greeks, by whom It is peopled earn their living by the sponge fisheries. IS'o girl is allowed to marry until she has brought up a certain number of sponges, which must be taken from a certain depth. In some of the other Greek islands it is the men who must dive for the sponges. If there are several suitors for the band of a maiden the father bestows her on the man who can bring up the largest number of sponges. Kngland the 'Jjw.t Monry l ender. A statistician estimates that England has $.Vj0,0i.0UO invested in land and mortgage in countries abroad. She lends to foreign Governments and municipalities on average of ?2K),000,000 annually. She finances railways in India. Canada, the United States, Australia, south Africa and South America, her investments of this class aggregate $2,100,000,000. Knglish capital is invested in this country in water and gas companies, cattle and horse raising, breweries, flour mills, street railways, iron manufacturing and mining.
