Col. Hopkins now has his "'baggery"' in first-class running order and will exchange inoculated bugs for healthy ones. Mr. Hopkins deserves a great deal of praise for the interest he is exhibiting in the undertaking and our farmers should keep him well supplied with healthy bugs.

George Cotton returned Wednesday morning from Kildare, Okla., where he has been in business for several months. He disposed of his store, but still has some real estate there.

Rains continue to fall in season and the crop outlook could not be more encouraging, with the exception of the damage that is being done to the wheat by chinch bugs.

The report has again got in circulation to the effect that Dr. Kincheloe is contemplating matrimony or suicide and the gossips are unable to determine which it is.

W.A. Williams will move his family to Butler this week, having traded his livery stock in Appleton City for a mill at that place. Mr. Williams is an energetic and progressive citizen and what is Appleton City's loss by his removal will be Butler's gain.

"'Capt."' M.J. Orr, the ever popular and jolly collector of the revenue at "'hub"', came over to the Prairie Queen Tuesday evening and put in the time yesterday collecting merchant's licenses, etc. Mr. Orr was accompanied by his estimable wife, who occupied the time among friends while her lege-lord talked "'faith"' to the businessmen.

A fine program is being arranged and delegates from four countries looked for. Friday evening of June 22nd is to be given the Gold Medal Contest. Two of the contestants are young ladies of Appleton City who hold Silver Medals.

The attention of the city authorities should be turned to the reckless and cruel destruction of birds by a number of our boys. The practice in itself is one that should be severely censured, and besides there is much danger of someone being injured by a random ball from a gun in the hands of these boys. We hope this matter will receive prompt attention.

Grandpa Preston, one of the old citizens living about eight miles south of the city, died the 30th last and the remains were entered in the Appleton City cemetery the following afternoon. The funeral services were conducted under the auspices of the G.A.R. Post of Rockville and the funeral cortege, when passing through the city, was nearly a mile in length, a beautiful testimony of the esteem in which the deceased was held by neighbors and acquaintances.

Rev. N.A. Auld will go to Green Ridge next Sunday to hold a quarterly meeting for Rev. G.L. Taylor. Rev. W.A. Ray will fill his pulpit here.

A Distressing Accident.
The four year old son of Mason Brown who lives about six miles south west of this city, while riding with his father upon a loaded wagon, was in some manner thrown to the ground and quite severely injured, the wheel running over his right leg below the knee, badly fracturing the bone. Dr. Cline attended the little fellow and reports him doing well as could be expected.

The crop outlook in this vicinity is steadily improving. A great deal of damage was done by the unusually late frosts of two weeks ago, but the effects are rapidly disappearing with the return of more genial weather. Farmers tell us that corn never looked more promising, and it certainly seems that with seasonable rains from this time on a bountiful yield is assured. Chinch-bugs have been doing harm in some localities, and a number have plowed up their wheat for the purpose of putting the land in corn. Oats and flax also look well, but the acreage is much decreased from other years. Meadows are said to be backward. Potatoes and other vegetables are growing finely and the prospect for fruit is much better than formerly anticipated. Altogether the indications are hopeful. - Windsor Review.

$100 Reward, $100
The reader of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure, in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

I have two little grandchildren who are teething this hot summer weather and are troubled with bowel complaint. I give them Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedy and it acts like a charm. I earnestly recommend it for children with bowel troubles. I was myself taken with a severe attack of bloody flux, with cramps and pains in my stomach, one-third of a bottle of this remedy cured me. Within twenty four hours I was out of bed and doing my housework. Mrs. W.L. Dunagan, Bon-aqua, Hickman Co., Tenn. For sale by Wm. Griffith, Druggist.
