Demoreet'8 Monthly Magazine for December la indeed an elegant Christmas number. The fine oil picture, represents a mow scene in the time of the French Directory.

It is a work of art worth several times the cost of the magazine. The beautiful photo-engraving, "The Holy Mother," is exquisitely done, and appeals to every heart at this Christmas-tide. "Across the Continent," by Jennie June, is profusely illustrated, the name of the author being enough to recommend it, as her graphic pen produces nothing but what is good. Demorest's Monthly is fortunate in having such an editress, for under her direction a magazine is produced that no lady can afford to be without, for ft certainly contains the essentials of all others, being eminently a family magazine from which any lady can get all the information she may require on any subject, even to all the patterns she may wish to use during the year, as each number contains an order entitling the holder to a selection of any pattern in that number and in any size manufactured. Tbis is the biggest $2 worth that can be found.

Having all this as Madison has, you should then talk about it, speak well of it, help to improve it, advertise in and read its papers, patronize its merchants, help all public enterprises, elect good men to office, speak well of its public spirited, enterprising citizens and be one of them yourself, and remember that every dollar invested in permanent improvements is that much to your credit.

He had just started to school when he saw some prairie chickens and returning to the house he got a double barreled shot gun and went after the chickens.

Freeman, Madison's live, live-stock dealer, shipped three carloads of hogs and one car-load of cattle from the Madison stock yards last Monday. The hogs were, as a lot, the finest, fattest ever shipped from the Madison yards. Four hogs purchased from Mr. W. H.

James, of Lena Valley, weighed 2,110 pounds, an average of 527-J pounds. Twenty-live purchased from Mr. John Pierce, of Lena Valley, weighed on an average 349 pounds, while a bunch of forty bead from Sherman Holderman weighed about the same: Mr. Freeman says these are the finest hogs, style considered, he has ever shipped, and he has been in the trade several years. He says he has handled heavier hogs but for nice form and big fat, these take the cake.

They certainly were a nice lot of hogs. "Uncle Jack" Holmes who has for almost one year been in feeble health, has been failing rapidly for the past few days. He is getting to be quite old and has always been an active, energetic, industrious man and tried to do his duty toward God and man, and now that the shadows of the dark valley close around him he expresses a willingness even an anxiety to cross the river of death. For a number of years he has been a worthy and consistent member of the Dunkard Church and, in accordance with the teachings of the Apostle James as given in the fifth chapter of the epistle of James, he, last Monday week, called for the elders of his Church and was anointed with oil in the name of the Lord. The ceremony of anointing was performed by Elders Baer and D.

What do the gentlemanly members of our township board and our County Commissioner have to say about it Come, gentleman an interested constituency anxiously awaits your action. John Crowell, one of the successful farmers and stock raisers of the Upper Verdigris Valley, called at this office Monday. In conversation with him, regarding the prevailing disease among cattle, he said the idea that cattle die as a resort of eating smut is all nonsense.
