"Let her sleep," nas tho exclama-
mation of the old gout (innocently
calling to in I lid tho beautiful song),
when he found his wife In an uncnu-
acloua state, the result of ton many
inhalations at the chlorolorm bottle
to alleviate lire pangs of the head'
ache.
Chicken "cholera" le a mysterious
disease, and baffles the skill of the
most learned. It coinus on at night
generally, and by morning the fowl
is so reduced that It Is not visible to
the naked eye. At least, some of our
friends' chickens have boeu thus af
fected, County Attorney G. T. Dunn went
down to St. Louis on Monday, we
uudorstaud, to be In attendance at
the.Uulted States Circuit Court, In
tho Interest of the county In her bond
suit, which is 10 bo presented to the
court for hearing sometime during
the week.
We call attention to the extensive
advertisement, Including a price-list,
of Messrs. II. 11. ft J. W. lliggin
botham, of Louisville, In this week'a
Issue. These gentlemen ofier rare
inducements for trale, and especially
to farmer, by way of exchanging
merchandise for produce. Their
price-list shows them to be dangerous
competitors lit the management of
business.
Woolfolk ft iland have in the last
few days replenished their already
extensive stook of Spring Goods, and
aro in constant receipt of bills, filling
up the vacuum that Is made by thoe
who appreciate their taste and Juilg
ment in the selection ol merchandise.
These gentlemen buy tbelr goods lor
cash, at reduced rates, and keep the
largest stock In the county, and testl-
moulals can be iound at to the econ
omy In dealing with them from any
of their numerous oustoniers.

There arc many people who think
they eonld conduct a law ease, preach
a sermon, attend a patient, almost at
well as the lawyer, preaeher or doc
tor could; but there It no one who
hat the slightest doubt bnt that he
could get up a better paper than the
editor ever does. If one of these be
nighted moriate would bnt try It. It
le no easy matter, I can assure you.
During the absence of the Junior at
Louisville, the Bcnlor was unexpect
odly celled to St. Louis, and no one
wae left to guide the Interests of the
Herald office. What a happy chance

Mrs. Mary P. Jones, of Louisiana,
Mo., favored the people of Troy with
quite an Intellectual treat In her two
lectures. The first one was dellv
ered on Ihe 10th, on the subject t
George," and It Is sale to say that
we aro enlightened now on points
new to us In regard to the Father of
his Country. The lecture abounded
with wit, and the mimicry of tho
epread-eagle style of Washington
birth-day orations wat inlmltablo
Illness prevented Mrs. Jones from
lecturing on her , second an
nounced evoning, and It wae post
poned until Monday. Then an ap
prcclatlve audience assembled to hear
her lecture on "Temperance." This
rather hackneyed subject was well
troatod, and was closed with a well
rendered recital of what occurs lu the
"little ealoou around the corner.
Mre. Jones may feel pleased with her
success in this place, for Troy Is slow
to clamber out of the old ways of
life, and a lecture by a lady wae an
innovation her. We wish for Mrs,
Jones abundant success In Ihe field
she has chosen, and cordially recom
mend her to lecturo commlltoes de
siring something now.
The Temperance meeting held on
the evening of tho 9th was aa large
and enlhuaiastloaa usual. In the ab
aeuceof the president, Dr. Ilult, Mr
McDonald presided acceptably. The
exercises were opened by an address
by Mr. Fisher, who gavo an lllustra
tlnn of the moderato drinker, as
ahowu by hit friend Jlmmte Wood
run". Misses Ida Noel and Fannie
Parker gave very acceptable recita
tions. Mrs. Ellen Woollolk surprised
her many friends by ber rendering of
a poem representing a sailor on a lost
ship. The finale was exquisitely given.
Mr. N. C. Dryden delivered one of
hie characteristic speeches, which
brought down the house on several
occasions. It was listened to with
the Interest It domanded. The meet
ings will continue every Tuesday
evening, and all are Invited to attend.
Now that there le a new board of
trustees lor the town, wouldn't It be

disaster le virtually an appendage of
the failure of C. W. Parker ft Co.. an
account of which waa given In our
last week's issue. However Ihe I-1
nanclal condition ef the Arm of B. 8.
Crews ft Co., Is much better than
that of C. W. Parker Co., at has
been ascertained by a carelul exam
ination of the booka of the respective

are acquainted with tho tauts that the
first named firm will Le able to nearly
llquidato Its entire liabilities. The

Mr.-Crews is a young, act! vo business
man, and his inlslnrtunee will be

In view of his retention of the con
