My daughter was greatly troubled with scrofula and at one time, it
was feared she would lose her sight. Ayer's Sarsaparilla has

not a trace of scrofula in her system --- G. King, Killingly, CT.

Advertising does pay, especially if done in the proper
paper. Last Thursday we printed a little "ad" conveying
the news that Lucas BAUER had lost a filly. He had spent many
days of hard riding, as well as some means, but could learn nothing of his
filly, and his brother suggested that he send a notice to us. The
result was that on Friday he came out to G. E. MARSDEN'S and got
his lost property. Still some business men claim that
advertising does not pay.

MR. James McDANIEL had a social time at his
house, last Sunday, and MR. John HOLF was present and took the
liberty to pop the question to Miss Sophia PLATZ, but the young lady
refused. I suppose he can stand it for he is still threshing.
DR. HANSON and wife were blessed with a beautiful little son, which will
be the pride of the household...
MR. John OERMANN'S little boy was called to rest last Monday evening,
after many weeks of suffering. All his friends sympathize with
him. The dear little angel is with his loving Mother now, who was called
away May 22nd and may they both rest sweetly in heaven.

The picnic, last Friday, near
of the picnic was an unprovoked assault, after dark, made upon one of Allen HUSKEY's sons by young lads of the vicinity of Victoria and
Bailey's. HUSKEY was struck in the face with fists and also received a
murderous blow with a club. A warrant was issued for Lundy VINYARD, and a
son of Andy WHITEHEAD, and a boy named PORTER. The two first
named have been arrested, but the latter has not been
found. Squire BOOTH has set the trial for next Friday, and we
hope the right party will be punished.

John P.NOLEN killed the largest rattlesnake I heard of yet,
near Jake BECKER's Black Smith Shop;
it was five feet, seven inches long and three inches in diameter, and had
seventeen rattles and a button. That is pretty good for the Constable of
Rock Township; if he kills another rattler
of that size he should be promoted to High Sheriff.

musical talent is constantly enlarging. In addition to three military bands now
existing, two others are in course of organization. Our Creole friends are
today organizing an orchestra, and to that end, they have received valuable
talent from Ste. Genevieve, in the person of Leon LABRAYERE, an old pupil of
mine. Another military band will soon be "marching through"
Tanglefoot, with stately step and harmonious strains. If I can, I will march
with them and surprise our people.
Fritz
AUBERLE is one, and Charlie GRAY is another, and unfortunately, each has a head
of his own, and a stubborn one, too. Charlie and Fritz are neighbors, but
Charlie don't like Fritz, and Fritz don't like Charlie
"und dat isch wat all dimes makes druvel."
But Fritz says that Charlie has some bad boys, and Fritz some times treats them
as the Jews served St. Stephens. Fritz thinks he owns the Rocky Mountains, and
has a right to use his property freely on the bad boys, but Mayor
ADAMS don't think so and makes Fritzes, as well as Franzes
and Charlies, reach down their pockets and pull out
some dimes instead of half dimes, and "dat isch yust wat
isch de matter mid dem."
