The family of the late Geo. C. Dorland, who was killed two years ago the 20th of this month in a L. E “ W. wreck at Peru, have by their attorney filed a suit against the railroad company for SIO,OOO. The L. E. & W. company through its attorney offered some time ago to settle with the plaintiffs in the case for S4OO, but this offer was declined. It is expected that the case will be fought through the higher courts. J. B. Astley, who was connected with the Plymouth Independent as solicitor, turns out to be a sneak who has been defrauding that paper out of money. The Independent does not seem to know to what extent Astley has carried on his swindling schemes, as he may have contracted bills among the business men that the paper has not yet learned of. Astley has skipped out leaving bis family behind. “Locomotives become sulky or tired," said an old-time engineer to a Grit reporter the other day. “It frequently happens that an engine will lose time regularly and yet a thorough examination fails to disclose anything wrong with it. When this is the case another engine is taken from the round house and the stubborn one allowed to rest for a few' days, when, without anyrepairing whatever, it will run as well as new. An engine in this condition is ‘tired,’ these two road men. No satisfactory’ expU'" >< n-i,

Au exchange asks: Do the city papers say anything in regard to your own county? and then answers, nothing. Do they contain notices of your school meetings, churches, improvements and hundreds of other local matters of interest which your home paper publishes each day? Notan item. Do they ever say a word calculated to draw attention to your county and aid in its progress and enterprises? Not a , line. And there are men who take such contracted views of this matter Unit unless they are getting as many square inches of reading matter in their own as they do in a city paper, they think they are not getting the worth of their money. It reminds us of a man who took the largest pair of boots in the box because the price was the same as the pair much smaller, that lilted him.

It is probably not the coldest weather you ever knew in your life; but that is how you feel just now, because past sufferings are soon forgotten, and because your blood needs the enrich ing, invigorating influence of Ayer's Sarsaparilla—the Superior Medicine. Read Ayer’s Almanac, which your druggist will gladly hand you, and note the wonderful cures of rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, dyspepsia, eczema, debility, humors and sores by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the only Sarsaparilla admitted at the World’s

Fair. Tho advertised wrestling and boxing exhibition proved a fake. The marshal would not let them show without they first took out a license and they probably did not have money enough to do that.
