And tbtM are a domestic and political unwind both to be healed by a single wall-directed stroke of the pen. »v. Chamberlain, in his article to the North American Review, on the negro la politics, says: "From 1873 to 187H, when political power was violent­ ly wrested from them, it is the truth •f fctetory that there was at the South a steady progress toward good gov- eraneat, purity of " administration, roforat of abueee, and the choice of capable and itoosst officers, In those State* In which the colored race had •Mit complete flMtroS." The white Pemoorata atoed sullenly by, refusing to aid In the work ef reconstruction, vatll they taw the negroes were likely to make a sucoess, and then they Ittnikl together, ( with shot-gun and ftftc. to deprive them of political con­ trol altogether. Hew York Pott speaks as follows in regard to the prospects for tin present year. **By common con- ust 18f» Is regarded as a year for bus! am la the commercial and Indus­ trial world the recovery, of which there are signs. Is slow, but there are signs of It, at least la this country.-- We art ready to lake a fresh start, with an boaest otie-hundred cent dollar with flsfcte paid or in some way oaacelled, with the wisdom taught by titter experience, with asore moderate Mabltion and batter regulated purposes There Is a revival sense of the necessi ty of work. There is ao longer a royal toad to riches. Men feel that the money which they are to get in the i|Xt twelve months must be earned, and they are turning their attention mb* to easy speoolatlon but to substan­ tial business" Emtor PjuAtxi'JEALK*:--Clark Demy isfre coveting uuder the able treatment ofDr. Wateo*.

His wife went to Ohio £ few weeks since to attend her parents Golden Wedding, and Willi are aKsetit at present writing. Mamie Thomas is back again from Chicago, and if site knew how down­ hearted Millard looks when she Is gone She would stay at home more. The entertainment at the If. E. Church last Friday night, which con­ sisted of singing by the;Chicago Quar­ tette Club and select reading by Miss Monroe, was well attended, the house being ftill and still It did not pay ex­ penses. We are sorry for H was for the beueflt of the Sabbath School and we tbiuk their funds are low enough now. Stewart Miller and wife, of Barring- ton are here, accompanied by Hiss Mary Clark, of Wauconds. They are the guests of Irving Miller. By way of advice to the young la­ dies we will say no young man could see me home from an entertainment unless he had sense enough to take me. This was forcibly illustrated last Fri­ day night at the M. E. Church where all the young ladies, with one or two exceptions, came alone, paid their own money and then the young meu who are so sure to go to the residences of said young lady and take them to every free entertainment flocked to the door and waited for their lady-love to come so they could escort them home. We did not stay to see the result but hope they all got the mitten as they deserved. The Rev. Geor&e Baoon, of Chicago, preached here in the Disciple Church last Sabbath morning and evening to a good house. It is reported that El­ der Collins will start a series of pro­ tracted meetings In said Church here soon. We hope he will have success and turn many from the evil way. We hear of several from this vicinity who expect to attend the Phantom Party at the Riverside Home next Friday evening. The mass meeting of the Ladles Temperance Union will be held in the M, E. Church on Friday evening of this week. The Checker mania has a«raln struck this town and anybody who thinks they are good at it will And Judd Nichols at the Hyatt Honse. Said Judd thinks he can play a pretty good game. Eb. McMlttan Is again back after a few months sojourn In Texas, and Ira McMillan who.has been sick for some time past is now able to be out again. i- MP I;-'" jfc'V l $ •$r :W ~%afcipe has not been so much «d In years as at present, on account of tls eastern plague. The general symptoms of the plague are enfeeble- ment of mind and body. Shivering, headache, vomiting, high fever or pro­ mise perspiration, vertigo, stnpor or uncofMcieusaeM, bloody excretions, in­ flammatory enlargement of various glands, carbuncles, and purple spots.-- The duration of the disease before It reaches Its climax varies from. two to fourteen days. Many cases result In speedy death without the appearance of eruption. The Infected district Is In the lower •alley of the Volga river, near the Casv plan Sea. It covers several important towns and extends 150 miles. If any of tlmse cities and towns will probably be tarned to prevent the spread of the Hick Visgus. mmmmmmmmmmmrnmrntmif) ? ;y-$ • .
