Several of our citizens went to

Thanks to u Sam” for his notes
from Skilletville. We thought we
knew every town in the county, but
find that there is one we bad not
found out, and it must be a place of
some importance. Say, Sam, can’t
you get us about 50 subscribers f
Now is the time for the Board of
Health to put in their best work.
There is much cleaning up of the

Fifteen passengers left Darling
ton ou the excursion train Tuesday
morning. Very few of our citizens
and fewer still from the country
knew anything of the excursion,
the advertisement in the WaUToum

ed notice.

fishing to an unlimited extent He

Don’t fail to see for yourself the
big boot oyer the store of J. G. Me
Gall, as we are tired being asked
how long and broad it is and what
number of foot it will fit If yon
want to know these points ask Mr.
McCall or one of his clerks. What
will be more interesting to your
family, would be to buy a lot of
shoes aod carry home with yon.

It was destroyed, with a wagon and
harpess honse. Mr. Lide lost all

On Thursday, just as we bad
made up our mail, the (Ire-bell rang
the alarm, and tbe steamer was
promptly out Tbe tire originated
ou the roof of the cook shop next to
Kalman A Rosenberg, and in a min
ute was in a broad blaze. Alonzo
Coachman was first on the roof,
climbing np between the buildings.
C. Alexander, G. C. Bacor and H.
Appelt followed him by means of a
ladder, tore off tbe shingles and
put out tbe tire with buckets of wa
ter. The flie engine was not put in
use, but was on tbe ground in about
three minutes after the alarm. Ju
lian Cannon, Alex. Lunney ami P.
C. Beck were tbe tirst at the engine
bouse. Piesideut Alexander seems
to have worked np an active spirit
in tbe Young America Company,
and from what we bear each mem
bet of tbe organization is in accord
with the idea that they must either
be a first-class company or isbaud

Mrs. 8. F. Cbapiu of tbe Wo
man’s Christian Tempeiance Union,
lectured in the Opera House on
Monday night. She arrived in town
Monday morning and was tbe guest
ot Mrs. R. W Boyd. The audience
ou Monday night was probably the
largest ever seen in the Opera
House, composed of townspeople
and those from the country. Rev.
G. B. Moore opened with prayer,
followed bv the choir of Sunday-
school children assisted by some of
the elder ones, singing “Yield not
to temptation.” Mrs. Chapin, in
troduced by the Mayor, J. J Ward,
entertained her audience for two
hours or lougur, in giving the his
torv, scope and methods of the W.
C T. U. A finer lecture is seldom
ever delivered, and every one in
the ball listened with close atten
tion from beginning to end. At
tbe close 65 ladies enrolled their
names for membership with a lew
men as honorary members The
song, “Where is my boy, to-nigbt t”
was most exquisitely rendered, fol
lowed by the benediction by Rev
Mr. Moore. On Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, Mrs. Cbapiu held a
meeting in the Opera House Mrs.
Chapin called tbe meeting to order
and at her request “Rescue tbe
perishing,” was sung. After prayer
by Rev. Mr. Moore, Mrs. Chapin
made an address. Eighteen namgs

The weather last week beats tbe
May record for tbe last ten years.
Ou Wednesday the ihenuoiueP r in
tbe shads at 4 P. M., marked 94°,
on Thursday 96°, on Friday 94°, on
Saturday 97°. Every day a hot
wind from tbe west, dried the soil,
blowing clouds of dust. Saturday
about dark, a noise like a freight
train was beard in the west, and
observers saw a red cloud floating
in an easterly direction. Man; of
onr citizens were much frightened.
The cloud passed rapidly north of
ns, and a cool breeze set in from tbe
northwest. On Sunday the air was
delightful, tbe thermometer regis
tering 84* at 4 P. M. Monday at
sunrise it was 56°.
The important article on the
British Navy, by Sir Edward Reed,
which attracted much attention in
the ' February Harper't, and the
descripticn of the Krnpp establish
ment in March, will be followed in
the Jane number by a timely paper
on the U. 8. Navy, by Rear-admiral
Edward Simpson, of tbe Navy De
partment at Washington, with a
large number of excellent illustra
tions. Tbe bistory of onr navy is
briefly sketched, and the record is
one that Uncle Sam need not be
ashamed ot. But as one reads of
its present deplorable condition,
every patriot mast regret tbe indif
ference and stagnation which have
left ns far behind tbe age. Pre-
vions to last year onr navy con
sisted only of thirty-two wooden
vessels, two iron sloops of war, and
a few old primitive monitors. In
1883 tbe construction of three steam-
cruisers and a dispatch boat, with
steel plates, was authorized. These
vessels are tbe Chicago, Boston, and
Atlanta, which are nearly finished,
and tbe Dolphin, now doing service.
With the coustrnction of these ves
sels the manafactnre ot steel plates
for ships began in this country.
This feeble array constitutes tbe
present naval force of tbe United
States. We have not one armor-
clad man of-war (the old single
tnrreted monitors not being con
sidered as having any efficiency),
and tbe ordauce and equipments
are ridiculously behind tbe age.
It would be impossible for us to
cope even with some of the smaller
powers in onr own hemisphere, and
tbe naval armaments of Europe
make onr deficiency a humiliation.
Public opinion is stirring Congress
to action, and tbe article mentions
s o me important improvements
which are in operation. It is to be
hoped that this able paper will lias-
ten the adju -tment of oar navy to
the Age of Steel.

In Mcmoriam.
For several days tbe hearts of
our entire community have gone
forth in deep sympathy and solici
tude at the iI 1 liras of Mrs. Mary
Young, wife of J Albert Young and
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.
J. Burch Loving friends did all
that could be done to keep Death
from plucking so pure a flower, yet
God, her Ileaveuly Father, who bait
crowned her life with so many bli ss-
iugs, saw fit to take her to Himself
and on tbe morning of the 13th in
stant, she quietly passed away,
leaving to her sorrowing loved ones
the asiurance that a life so com
p’etely devoted to the service of lier
Master, so faithful in her relation as
wife, mother and friend while living,
had prepared her for its full tnii
tion in that rest which remains for
the people of God. Aged only twen
ty six, her life had not neared its
meridian. So jovous, so full of hope,
making the home of her worthy
husband and three little children,
the bright* st spot to them in a l
this nuiverse, filling it with love
and happiness.
In early I fe she professed con
version and became a in cm her of
tbe fibetiezer Baptist Cburcb, and
has ever lived np to her profession
Her pure life and shining Christian
graces combined with remarkable
amiability, made her all that was
lovable and grand in woman. How
forcibly illustratrive is tbe proverb,
“Death loves a shining mark,” is
lier death f Long will her genial
smile and kindly greeting be re
membered by all whose privilege it
was to call her relative, friend or
acquaintance, and especially by her
loved ones left behind, for a season.
To them we tender onr heartfelt
symathies, God only can comfort
their sorrowing hearts, yet what
joy to know that there is “One at
the beautiful gate, waiting aod
watching for them.”
