A number of the shot, also lodged in his breast, neck and face, he receiving quite a wound above the left eye. The only wound of serious consequence was in his hand, the bones of which were so badly shattered that it was impossible to save the hand, and on Tuesday morning Drs. Arlington and DOnnut amputated if just aboue the wrist. 'The patient at this writing -Wednesday -is said to be getting along in good shape. A Good Excuse. The cry of "hard tim s”isa godsend to the man who doe-, not pay his debts. It serves as an excellent excuse and at this time is his stock in trade. There is a class that catch onto ail subterfuges that will assist them in any way to wtird off creditors, and the principal cry of hard times comes from that, very class of people. If each and every person would do his duty toward his neighbor and creditors by paying past running debts this cry of hard times would vanish as the dew before a morning sun and at such time it is the duty of every man to make it a point that his small debts, particularly are squared. It is the obligation of every citizen to pay as quickly as possible. One dollar put in circulation can pay a great many debts, and the cry of hard times will be greatly lessened.— Garrett Clipper.

She had been an invalid for about five years, and for several months prior to her death was confined to the house most of the 1 hue. She always bore her sufferings patiently and with Christian fortitude. She was a member of the M. E. church, having been converted to that faith in 1882 under the ministration of Rev. A. J. Clifton.

Goss at the M. E. church Monday at 2 p. m., and the remains were buried in the Walkerton cemetery. Remember that Dr. Dowell extracts teeth without pain by the use of vitalized air.

The harp playing of Prof. Scannone continues to be a pleasing feature of each evening's program. There is one matter wherein the country newspaper labors at a disadvantage in a time of money stringency, as compared with the manufacturer, says the Nappanee News. The publisher never finds a time when he can shut down his plant and lay off his employes—excepting when he reaches a point where he becomes a “busted community,” so to speak. The paper must be turned out every week and the expenses continue right on just the same as when he has plenty of advertising and job work, both of which branches of his business are necessary to meet the requirements of running a country journal, as the subscriptions are only drops in the bucket, as if were, toward paying the expenses of an office. These things should be taken into consideration by the patrons of a local paper. Subscribers, especially, should promptly and willingly pay up arrearages. Tiieir accounts are, in themselves, small, but when all pay up the aggregate is sufficient to tide the newspaper over a dull period of advertising and job work. I
