Harm Rice arrived in town for his week's mail last Tuesday after an ex haustive-tussle to clear the. road so as to make it passable. Tom Gill has done but little the past week assessing as the weather has been too severe to get around with any degree ot comfort. John Zion has bade Hamlin adieu and has centered all his interests at present in Audubon. We did not learn his future intentions.

They in tend to keep a general stock in that line besides keeping a full line of ve hicles Mid agricultural implements, one car of wagonsnnd buggies arrived at the station on Monday. It is un fortunate that at thi* particular time Mr. Johnson is confined to his home in the rear of the store by some throat trouble to which he is subject, we here. James Elrod now that he has dis posed ot his real estate interests in this city has sent in his resignation as postmaster and as soon as relieved he will most probably take up his resi dence in Audubon. James has made a good postmaster and those who had transactions with him as such all speak well of him and hate to have him leave, but a man without some other business connected with it, cannot af ford in a pecuniary sense to hold on to the oflice so he very properly seeks to step down and out. Last Monday the train running south SK stalled in a snow drift and after try ekf1 ing to back out or proceed a messenger SfT./ was dispatched to Atlantio two miles ^4 off and another engine was sent to their relief but it was soon hopelessly stuck in thedrift, when another mess enger was sent to the city for a shovel ing gang who went out aud after shoveling uutil after midnight suc ceeded in releasing the train which arrived in Atlantic about 1 o'clock a. in. To keep from freezing the pass engers all gathered in the smoker and by vigorom firing ip managed to come through without framing. 1 S The Crees boys had a big time last Sunday, 9outh and west of the O. P. Tyler farm, bucking snow. They aud their families went to visit at the home of Joel Crees and when near their destination got into the large drifts that choked ttie narrow road, getting one team down and complete ly covered with the beautiful, and the oilier team tared nearly as bad. The families were all unloaded aud dug and crawled to where they could once m'ire reach solid footing aud after working, tramping and lifting, the horses once nioie guined their footing and an opening hud to be made in the fence alongside lie road in order tor thein to pi on their journey. Tne hor.-e-i were newly shod and the great, wonder is that, they were not cut np more ihan they were. Frank McNallv and family are once more free from quarantine for scarlet fever One of the children contracted itie disea.se on the train while going to Atlantic some six weeks since, a physician was called who recognized the symptoms as those predominating in that tever aud promptly ordered a quarantine which was entirely success ful as no further cases have broken out in the town. The child was quite ill for a day or two after which the esse manifested a mild form and they are very happy over the fact that it is so. Quarantine seems bard sometimes but with the welfare of the whole community at stake it becomes abso lutely necessary that the rules in sncli cases be promptly put in force. Mr. Mi-Naliy was permitted to go aud come from his home under ceriain restrict ions which all say were duly and con scientiously observed, hence the stamping out of the disease. On last Saturday Henry Young and family were surprised to see several teams driven into the barn yard and upon investigation they found a num ber of Audubon Free Masons aud their wives had driven down to pass the evening with the family on the eve of its departure for a more hospitable climate. They were soon all cosily seated aud enjoying themselves to the utmost in cial pastime, conversing on things past and present and in tne midst of their mirth, hilarity and reminiscences they were invited to take seats in the dining room where a delicious oybter stew had been pre pared by Talbot, the famous resiau ranter, of Audubon, awaiting their will and pleasure and soon all were busily engaged in the glorious pas time of catering to their various appe tites. After this agreeable task was accomplished they all adjourned to the parlor where sociability and broth erly love prevailed for a time when Mr. H. W. Manna arose and in a neat aud feeling speech presented Mr. Young, in behalf ot his fraternal brethren, with a beautiful Masonic apron highly ornamented and symbol ized on the front, the back of the apron containing a complete Masouic history of the brother up to date. Mr. Young was completely surprised and agitated on receiving this token rep rooorrtiog- eo muok only familiar to Masons but at last, in a few well cho sen words, thanked the brethreu for this demonstration of their brotherly feeling, and now nothing can part Henry and this beautiful keepsake, not even death, lor without doubt it will be laid on his coffin when the final parting with frieuds and fraters shall come. Kick a dog and he bites you. He bites you and you kick him. The more you kick the more he bites and the more he bites the more you kick. Each makes the other worse. A thin body makes thin blood. Thin blood makes a thin body. Each makes the other worse. If there is croino: O O to be a change the help must come from outside. Scott's Emulsion is the right help. It breaks up such a combination. First it sets the stomach right. Then it en riches the blood. That strengthens the body and it begins to grow new flesh. A strong body makes rich blood and rich blood makes a strong body.

Lee is losing some of his T. R. cattle. Western fever is about to depopu late North Branch. If that ground hog did not see his shadow we may safely conclude that, he is a blind pig." Mr. Baker went to Audubon, last Friday, returning Saturday with a big load of flour for his North Branch store. Rev. Mrs. Mnckev is kindly minis tering to the Union Baptist church during its pastorless period, but a permanent minister will soon be se cured. Thomas Adair sold a fine bunch of beeves to Henslev Brothers, last week, to whom he also delivered an excel lent batch of swine, last Monday. Elmer and Charley Covalt will jointlv dispose of their personal effects by public sale on February 4, after which they will take a bee line for that honev-ladeu hive, Washington State. Ireland, Sweden, England, France, Denmark, Germany and America were all fully and creditably repre sented in the merry crowd that gath ered for a social dance at. the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. John Eagen, last Friday night. Greeley is the most cosmopolitan township in the county. L. Baker and O. Seihert have re turned from their prospecting tour in the west and the reputation of Wash ington State suffers naught by their visit. They both invested liberally in Washington land and are now making hasty preparations to say farewell to Iowa an 1 take up their abode in that promising trans-Rocky home. There is promise in their report for him who has no footing in Utopian Iowa. About twenty-five years ago Henry Mapes carved a little farm out ot fhe wild prairie of north-east Greeley. He had scarcely erased the foot-prints of the buffalo when he sold it at a fair profit. Since then it has changed hands seven times and, as yet, each seller has realized a snug little sum out of his investment in spite of the fact that land has been growing poor er all the while. James Eagen, who recently gave George McCall $50.00 per acre for it is the present owner. Farewell, old Iowa, farowoll, I'm (joins to cross the Rocky Range, And settle in somo quiet dell. Long have I dreameu of such a change. Good-bye, old boy. you'll dream again, Benoath the cold Pacific fogs, You'll dream of Iowa's golden grain. Sleek, fat kine and lolling hogs. God laid his hand upon the earth, Where over chaos crept a calm And when he said "Bless homo and hearth" Old Iowa was 'neath his palm.

Among tlio Pueblo Indians six points of the compass are recognized, and each has its color. North is yellow, west is blue, south is red, east Is white, the upper regions are many col ored and the lower regions are black. All the prey gods are represented by their Images in these six divisions. For example, tjiere is the yellow mountain lion of the north, the blue mountain lion of the west, the red mountain of the south, and so on. Likewise it is with the other beasts, and thus a very considerable number of deities Is formed. All of them must receive worshipful attention lest they get angry and revenge themselves for the neglect J. A. Lambert, of Rachel, N. C.. writeH: "1 heartily endorse FOLEY'S KIDNEY CORE.

The general impression is that the body grows old uniformly. Prom birth till the age of twenty-five it grows in Size and weight, from twenty-five to fifty it remains stationary, and from that period it decays. Observations of expert physiologists show us that this impression is not a correct one. Each organ begins to age inaopeud ently, each has its period for the change, and these periods differ with the various organs and do not take place colncidently, as we may have supposed. The body attains its great est size during the third decade and remains In about the same condition during the fourth and fifth dccades, that is true, but the brain readies its greatest size in the second decade, the kidneys reach their maximum size dur ing the third decade, the muscles, skel eton and intestines during the fifth, the heart and lungs in the eighth decade. Increase or decrease in the size Sut OT weight of the body consequently 1b not due to simultaneous increase or de crease in all Its parte. Tried Five Doctors.

The Aromatic Clove Tree. A peculiarity of the clove tree is that every part of it is aromatic, though the greatest strength is in the bud. Be sides the buds, the stems are gathered and form an article of commerce com manding one-fifth the price of cloves and having about the same percentage of strength. To this is due the fact that ground cloves can be purchased in the home market at a lower price than whole cloves. Clerk's Wise Suggestion.

A singing well is one of the natural curiosities of Texas. In fine weather sound like that of an seollan harp Is given out by the well.

With an east wind blowing the water in the well gets very low, and the mysterious musical sound Is faint. A strong west wind causes the water to rise and the sound to increase in volume and clearness. Something That Will Do You Good.

The hieroglyphics on the ring are mi nutely accurate and beautifully execut ed, the ring itself being of finest gold and weighing nearly an ounce.

People say "extra good" or "extra cheap" In order to intensify "good" and "cheap." But "extra" has no such force. So-far from intensifying a given condition, it denies it by indicating that the thing so described lies outside the sphere or quality named. Thus, "extra judicial" does not mean more than ordinarily ju dicial, as though a judge had dredged his conscience in giving an opinion, but outside of judicial and therefore inca pable of being judged at all in the pre scribed way. A grievous fault is the use of "iden tify" in a phrase like this, "He is iden tified with the antivaccination move ment." A man can only identify him self with another man or set of men. He can identify himself with the op ponents of vaccination—and even here the word carries a shade of meaning of its own, distinguishing the phrase from such a one as "he joined the opponents of vaccination." One should not speak of "high" or "low" caliber but, remembering the meaning of "caliber," one should apply to it only such adjectives as "great" or "small." It is wrong to speak of a "consensus of opinion." The word "consensus" it self means an agreement of thought and should stand alone.—Academy, A Legacy of the Qrlp. Is often a run-down system.
