WALKERTOKJND., APR. 21, 1888. __. — Leland Stanford, Caifornia’s millionaire senator, is in the race for the presdential nomination. Kentuucky Bepblicans are urging the n ame of Hon. W. O. Bradley, late Republican candidate for Governor of that state, for second place upon the presidenticl ticket. By a marriage soon to take place near Poughkeepsie, N. Y., a father-in-law will soon become a brother-in-law and a daughter will become sister-in-law to her father. Gen. Packard has favored the Independent with the first number of his New Albany Tribune. It is a seven column folio. Republican in polities, and verv ablv edited. * ». In an interview between Henry M. Stanley, the famous explorer and traveler, and a newspaper correspondent, the former said: “I have been in Africa seventeen years, and I have never met a man who would kill me if I folded my hands. ” Roscoe Conkling, the statesman and jurist, filed at New York last Wednesday morning, after a very painful illness.. He was an able and brilliant man,fOU^was generally admired for his rigid? honesty as well as for his superior memtaj accomplishments. / , —— Dr. Agnew, died at New York Wednesday morning, from an abscess in the peritoneal cavity. He was ill but a few days. He was Garfield’s physician and also treated the late Roscoe Conkling. Dr. Agnew was one among American’s most teminent physicians, and the medical profession loses one of its most va’uable members in his death. Witchita, Kas., girls stand no fooling. One of them was to have been married a few days since, and the girl was all ready, the minister on hand, and the feast was spread, but still no bridegroom. “I’ll wait for him just ten minutes, and then I’m open to proposals.” Ten minutes flew like the wind, and a little red-haired fellow, with a paper collar and his trousers frayed at the bottom, stepped up, proposed, was accepted, married, and scooped in the banquet. Senator Cullmon does not think the State of New York will necessarily be the battle ground of the November contest. Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut hold the key to the situation. Indiana and either of the two states named, with all the states carried in 1884, will elect a President. There is little doubt of any of the republican states of 188-1. Indiana and New Jersey or Indiana and Connecticut, is the lucky combination of Gen. Harrison, with such a campaign as ought to be made, would carry two or more of the southern states beyond any reasonable doubt. — —lndianapolis Journal. Matthew Arnold, the noted English poet, scholar and critic, died suddenly last Monday in Liverpool, from heart disease. Mr. Arnold was the son of the celebrated * Dr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby, whose name will be familiar to all who-have read ‘Tom Brown’s School Days.” Matthew Arnold was born in Taleham, Middlesex, Dec. 24, 1822. As a poet he possessed a genius of a grand order, several of his productions ranking with the immortal poems with which Milton, Tennyson and Shelley have enriched the literature of the English language. The Edinburgh Review says of him in 185(5: “For combined culture and fine natural feeling in the matter of versification he has no living superior.” “The strain of his mind,” says an eminent critic, “is calm and thoughtful; his style is the reverse of florid; deep culture and a certain severity of taste have subdued every tendency to gay or passionate exuberance.” Additional Local News. Dr. M. A. Schutt, dentist, guarantees all his work. Ofllce with Dr. Endley. “Milk shake” five cents a glass at Elwood McDaniel’s. Don’t fail to see those carpets at Vincent’s store before you buy.

AT 11 All EX’S ALTA 11. One of the largest congregations ever seen in the M. E. church was that of last Sunday evening. The folding doors leading into the rear rooms were thrown open and all brilliantly lighted. It hail been noised abroad that there would be a wedding at the close of the services, and this, together with the fact that the high contracting parties were two of our most estimable young people, explained the unusual interest manifested. Charles Robbins, the groom, is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. 8. A. Robbins, and is one of our best known and highly respected young men, while the bride, Miss Fannie Cunningham, is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cunningham, and is held in high esteem by a large circle of friends, for her lovable disposition and winning ways. At the close of the sermon Miss Addie Wolfe took her place at the organ and began playing the wedding march, to the time of which the wedding party entered the church and took their places. Waite cCool, who acted as best man, entered first accompanied by Miss Media Cunningham, the bridemaid. They were followed directly by the bride and groom, and as they reached the altar, separated, allowing the bridal couple to stand between them. The bride looked very pretty in a suit of fawn colored albatross trimmed in moire antique of the same shade, and bead ornaments. The skirt was a kilt, the plaits forming a fan in front with a sash of the moire passing around and tying in a knot at the left side. The back had a full drapery. The front of the basque was in vest effect, with lapels, collars and cuffs of moire and was finished at the bottom with four points, and cascade plaiting in the back. The wrap was of the albatross, made with a rolling collar and long tabs in front, ami was fastened at the throat with a bunch ol water lilies and lilies of the valley. The bonnet of the moire was trimmed with white flowers and white moire ribbon. The bridegroom wore the conventional black. Miss Media Cunningham, the bridemaid, was most becomingly attired in a suit of tan colored camel’s hair trimmed in golden brown plush. It was made with a plain kilt front, and full back drapery. The basque had a vest front, collar and cuffs of the plush, and was finished with one point in front and three in the back. The bonnet was of electric blue surah trimmed in snowballs and shaded striped moire ribbon with an arrow of gold tinsel at the side. Her flowers matched those worn by the bride. Walter McCool, the grooms-man, appeared to good advantage in a suit of black, The ceremony, which was the short but impressive form of the M. E. church, was performed in an appropriate manner by the pastor, Bev. N. Tinkham. When Charles Robbins and Fannie Cunningham had been pronounced man and wife, the party left the chinch, carrying with them the sincerest wishes of all present for unlimited happiness । and a successful futur x Don't be Mean in trade. “There is no greater mistake that a , business man can make than to be mean in his business, ” says Wealth and Worth. . Everybody has heard the proverb of ( “penny wise and pround foolish.” A • liberal expenditure in the way of busi- . ness is always sure to be a capital investment. There are people in the 1 world who are short-sighted enough to ' believe that their interest can be best i promoted by grasping and clinging to all they can get, and never letting a cent slip through their lingers. As a general thing it will be found, other things being equal, that he who is most 1 liberal is most successful in business. ’ Os course we do not mean it to be in- ; ferred that a man should be prodigal in ? his expenditures, but that hey should P show to his customers, if he is a trader, 1 or to those he may be doing any kind of ’ business with, that in all his transactions i as well as social relations, he acknow- . ledges the everlasting fact that there can be no permanent prosperity or good feeling in a community where benefits 1 are not reciprocated. । ix cnntcii. (Yankee Blade.) I feel solemn sanctity, Sweet lest of soul is mine. My heart abides in pious peace, My bonnet sets divine! Grace, like a river, fills my soul, In chastened joy I sit, I feel religion’s deepest power, My sacque’s a perfect fit. A holy fervor penetrates My soul’s remotest nooks, An earnest, chastened, fervid joy— How neat that ribbon looks! The good man tells of Christian peace, The organ’s anthem swells, I bathe in streams of pure delight, My dress cost more than Nell's! 0 holy rest! 0 Sabbath calm ! 0 chastened peace serene! I feel thy deep abiding spell, How dowdy is Miss Green! I feel a pure, religious glow, 0 rapture undefined! I know my bonnet looks so nice To those who sit behind! A tramp’s body suspended to a tree i was found in Montana. He had climbed the tree to take his bearings and had fallen, but the tails of his coat caught in a limb and kept him hanging until I he died.

McCarty, infant son and daughter of Edwin and Mary McCarty.] Two little graves in the church yard Placed there side by side, The spot to us most sacred in all this world so wide. How many fond aspirations under that sod are hid, How many fond hopes aud desires are crushed ’neath the casket lid. Try as we may, our once light hearts Seem heavy and cold as lead; Try as we may, we find each day our thoughts are there with our dead. In one lies a darling daughter, as pure as the driven snow. How it rends our hearts, to think of her there with the damp earth pressed to her brow. In the other is darling Charlie, Just as dear to us as Frankie, Taken away though we loved him so, Ere the seed of sin could be sown; And yet it is not in that grave-yard Our laved, our cherished lie: Oh, no! they now are smiling down From the Mansion in the sky. And our duty lies with the living and We hide our grief for their sake. How many on earth oft wear a smile Though their hearts are ready to break. Though we wept sad tears as we laid Them down in the grave to rest, We piayed the dear Lord give us strength To say "Thou doeth for the bist. 1 ' The Savior has taken our jewels, Reclaimed them as His own, And never fairer, purer gems, shown in His heavenly crown. May we live so we yet may meet them In that home so fair above, And with onr darlings claim a share in our Father's affection and love,
