Scme of the recipients ure i ’pleusvd and others displeased, as of course is usually the case. | i Grandma Shelly is gone and has ;goue to the faithful and redeemed in | Christ; gone to the God whom she so ‘ well loved to serve, and neighbors have lost a dear and faithful friend and . ¢children have lost a patient aud loving | mother. Elizabeth Shelly was born in IWarren Co., Ohio, Nov. 25, 1828, She‘

was converted and united with the chureh in early youth and ever since has been a faithful and exemplary member. She with her husband, Calvin Shelly, were poineers in this county, having came here and located one mile south of Grovertown in 1851. My, Shelly was a North Carolivian by birth and was born July 1, 1803, and died July 30, 1889, aged 86 years and 29 days, About twelve years prior to his death he was converted to God and was a faithful servant to the Master the remainder of his life. And thus, after a fuithful pilgrimage together in this life of forty-eight years and sepavation of about four years, they are once mor nnited in that better Kingdom to praise the great Redeemer forevermore.

"The soil is % said to be well adapted to the pin‘pose, | and great interest is being taken by | farmers and others in the matter. . l A woman whose conscience had been smiting her for years, recentiy paid } Jonas Overholt, a farmer of Madison township, for ten quarts of berries l which she picked from his marsh several years ago without his permission.

It is now said to be sobering up, and going out to do its legitimate work in the commercial world. We cannot expect the dollar to keep straight because it is round, but we surely thought it had cents enough to keep moving. An exchange says that “a new scheme to swindle the farmer is coming this way from northern Ohio. A man comes along and offers to sell the vight for a new fangled wagon tongne. If the farmer does not bite readily the tongue is left with him. A confederate then comes along, gets stuck on the patent and offers £4OO forit. The farmer sends $250 to man No. 1 for the vight and the job is done.” Mr. J. B. Pepple returned to Albion on Saturday accompanied by his son, Rella, whose injury was not so serious as was at first reported here. !
