Definition of Home. A prize was offered recently by the Tondon 'Tidbits for the best answer to the question, *“What is home?” Here are a few of the answers received : The golden setting in which the brightest jewel is “mother.” A world of strife shut ont, a world of love shut in. Home is the blossom of which heaven is the fruit. ' The ouly place on earth where the fanlts and failings of fallen humaunity ure hidden under the mantle of charity. The place where the great are sometimes small, and the small often great. The father’s kingdom, the mother’s world, the children’s paradise. | The jewel casket, ocontaining the% most precious of all jewels——domestic happivess. Where you are treated best and yon grumble most. Home is the central telegraph office of human love, into which run innumerable wires of affection, many of which, althongh extending thousands of miles, are never disconnected from oue great terminus, J. W. Baugher's Mill Here. The mechinery of Baugher's planing and saw mill arrived lere Thursday aevening and has been placed on the ground. A force of men are at work getting the preliminaries W shape to commence the erection of the building. As has heretofore been stated in this paper, the building will be & neat briek structure G 4by 66 feet and one story high. In connection with this there will be & large storage building with iron siding. DBrick laying will commence the fore part of uext week and a large force of men will be empioyed in order to get the building np the iat- | ter part of the week, if possible. ! A Surprise on Mr. and Mrs. Schuyler | Paul. ‘ Last Saturday afternoon a unumber of relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Schuyler Panl gave them n pleasant surprise in honor of their tenth waedding anviversary. T'hose prosent were: Mesdames Elizabeth Jol'y, Mary Paul, Sarah Ross, J. M. Ross, Mute Arnold, A. White, E. 1. Leibole, J. Reneman, i C. E. Shafer, Chas, Wisenbanglh, Geo. Chapman, Robison, Sarali Hostetter, Mr. and Mrs. George Dare and Mr, and Mrs. Joha Dare. A very pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by sll. A fine supper was served. REPORTER Too “Witty" for Them M. J. Witt, a furmer of Liberty, this state, worth $200,000, was an infended vietim of three-eard monte steerers recently., A stranger asked to see his farm of 500 acres with a view of pnr chasing, and while driving aronnd the farm they met a stranger dressed as a tramp. He showed Witt and his friend the trick. Witt’s friend won 50, and then asked \Witt to het. He told them he had only 10 cents, and that if he had a million he was too slick for bunco steerers, as he read the newspapers, Card of Thanks. The family of the late Irwin O. Reed appreciate to the fullest extent the kindness shown them by neighbors and friends during their iate bereavement and they hereby veturn their sivcere thanks to their friends for the kind aets rendered.

It is clnimed that the decision of the supreme court relntive to township trustees, will shorten the present inenmbents’ term of office nearly . year, since they should have taken their geats immediately following the election of 1894, rather than wait until the following Augnst, The ladies of the Presbhyterian chureli will hold a sale of prepared eatubles in the Beall building P Suturday, Nov. 2.

The merchant remarked ’lum‘ fine the crops looked, but the L farmer did not make any roply, and the merchant repeated what he had said, thinking the man did not hew him. Finally the fellow answered: “Yes, but such a crop is darned wearin’ on the land ” Here it is —evidently from one of the “oldest inhabitants.” “The goose. bone is nearly all white this year, and the result will e that snow will be on the ground from early in December until late in April. A long ell winter filled with blustering storms is ahead. ‘T'here are other signs that confirm this. Corn hasks are unusually thick, and chipmunks and woodchuck ‘ are already fat enongh to Kill."” | An exchange says two ln'nlhvt‘s; kept saloon in a Missouri town., One of them went to Chicago to lay in a stock of liquor. \When he left home a revival was in progressin the town and he had hardly reached the end of his journey when hereceived the following telegram: “Bill: —Buy no liquor. Will join church tomorrow night. Business is taking us to hell.—Jim.” "That | night Bill went to hear Col. R. G. In- | gersoll leeture. As soon as he got t‘ back to his holel he sent off 4 messnge fas follows: “Jim:—Hold on till 1 come. Have it from a prominent citizen of Illinois that hell is ciosed up.—--Bill.” The philosopher of the Sonth DBend Sunday News rises to pertinently ask who started the talk abont the neighbors? It would be interesting to know { how far back the pedigree of this nan- | seating custom runs into the history of the world. Somebody says to Mother Eve. That won’t do. Mother Eve was notany more likely to be the guilty one than Father Adam. Besides they had no neighbors execept the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air and the reptiles. It must have come after relationship began to become collateral—about the sister-in-law period. Whatever its origin, however, the meanest habit on earth is backbit- | ing, for it is a habit like other vices, | and curable only throngh a contrite | heart-and a transfusion of the milk of | human kindness into the veins that flow with gall and bitterness.
