I is indeed a dangerous business

Dr. D. C. Louchery, of Salem,
has actually disposed of his ele
gant property in that town for
19,000, and it is rumored that
after the doctor has taken a
special post-graduate course at an

Len McAtee and two of the
other McAtees were arrested for
raising a distubance in town last
Saturday night. The McAtee
boys, it appears, thought that
the town was becoming monoto
nous. and in order to make things
more active they went to the
house where John Watson re
sides and preceded to cut, pum
mel and disfigure the mortal
anatomy of Mr. Watson so as to
temporarily incapacitate him
from performing his function as
an American citizen.
Remember that typhoid fever
is not apt to attack a person in
good health. The Telegram
advises the residents of the city
to be-careful. Do not drink im
pure water or sleep in a room
badly ventilated. Take exer
cise, keep the bowels regular
and remember that "cleanliness
is next to godliness." Be sure
to have your out-buildiugs,
stables, iSjc., thoroughly reno
vated. If you suspect impurities
in the water you use, it would be
best to boil it. Throw plenty of
lime about the sewers and sinks.
Cincinnati express. No. 604,
was wrecked in, the tunnel this
side'of West Union Monday eve
fling. The passengers were
knocked about the cars consider
ably, but no one was severely
hurt. -The engineer had has
face bruised protty badly
by jumping from the train. Clar
ence Davis, of this city, a travel
ing salesman, was on the wreck
ed train, and says it was caused
by a broken rail. One rail was
driven fully 300 feet in front of
the engine by being struck by one
of the drive-wheels. No trains
were able to pass until a late
hour on the following day.
Every farmer should have a
gocd orchard and an abundance of
choice selected small fruit The
value of a farm is greatly in
creased by such improvements.
Many farmers say. "O, I do not
expect to live long enough to see
them do me any good, so what is
the use of buying fruit trees."
Such selfishness is sinful. Just'
think how much that farmer
would have been benefitted had
his lather who previously
owned the farm, set out a good
orchard. Buy your trees of your
home nursery is another good
point. Southern's nurseries are
now among the best in thecountry.
