The Sullivan Union last week published a list of the people who had left that place during the past year for other localities. It took nearly three coluras of space. The social dance given last night at the opera house, by the Novelty Dancing Club, proved a great success. There were about thirty couples present who enjoyed the evening. Dr. Wilson informed us this morning that Mr. Miller, who was shot, is improv ing rapidly, and the conditions were such that it was doubtful as to the location of the bullet in Mr. Miller's body.

In this respect he is more fortunate than most of his fellow men and yet he is most unfortunate in the possession of liest; loes. K ca . uir tne.n

rules that a laborer or a man who furnishes the material, is entitled to a lien upon land on which a building has been erected. Even if the structure has been distroyed it does not affect the lien upon the land. (Joshen Times: Col. lt. M. Johnson reached (loshen Wednesday from his visit to the Chicamauga battle-field. He says the tablets erected by Indiana to make the location of States troops during the great conflict are more imposing than those of any other state and cost much less. Native granite was used. The men's meeting of the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow afternoon will be quite interesting. Judge Hess will give a talk on "Jerusalem," describing so far as possible in a half hours time, the places of interest about the holy city. Rible passages bearing on the places described will be read by vari uis persons. A shrewd Yankee with an eye to business has gotten out a new addition of the Rible says an exchange. It is profusely illustrated with picturer. con taining negro angels. He is selling them to the southern negroes on the installment plan at So a copy. They cost him $1.50 and the purchaser is required to pay 1.50 m cash before the book is delivered. The first edition of the work is said to be almost exhausted. An exchange gives the following sarcastic xointers: l'ersons wishing their letters to go through the mails in a hurry should always write "in haste'' in the lower left hand corner of the envelope. Then everybody connected with the postal service jumps around lively. The stage driver whips his horses into a brisk trot, the postmaster dances a jig and the route agent pushes forward and tells the engineer to pull the throttle and let her go." No intoxicating liquors are to be used A A A as a beverage on me state soiaiers home grounds at Lafayette nor sold there and smoking is restricted to cer tain quarters. Each inmate must bathe once a week at least, parlor maicnes cannot be used on the premises, the male inmates must wear uniforms, and pensioners getting $0 per month or over must purchase their own clothing.

A large sum wns paid out, yet the work was not completed. They will be here again next week and complete the work.

It is also stated the inducements they hold out to the young men is the surplus number of wives they will be obliged to have if they join their colony.

Narrow Escape. Monday J. E. Houghton indulged in the pastime he mostly enjoys, that of fishing. He took his little ax along with him to cut a hole in the ice. Arriving at the place where last summer he had such elegant luck, he proceeded to prepare for the days sport. He had no more than settled himselfj when with a crash, with hardly a warning, he was precipitated into about fifteen feet of water. Fortunately assistance was near at hand and he was soon removed from his perilous position. J. E. is not much the worse for his unwelcome bath. In an interview regarding his ducking, Mr. Houghton said this morning that regardless of his love of aquatic sports and notwithstanding his ichthyological profundity, he was more than delighted to feel that he could yet inhale the vivifying ozone of the circumambient atmosphere of this oblate spheroid, lie was evidently glad to have escaped a watery grave.
