Gilbert Re id, who is well - and favorably known in Western Now • York, has arrived at his destination in l China. It will be remembered that Mr. Reid, who has spent many years in \the \llowery Irinpdom\ as a missionary •of the Presbyterian church, returned : to this country in order to put before ... the different churches hero a new and to hiiri a moro desirable scheme in ^which to gain a foothold for Christain- ityinthat empire He stated in his lectures that it was utterly impossible for any missionary to gain the confi dence, or even .the attention, of the' _ 'higher classes of the Chinese at the present time, and therefore their efforts ' \were to a great degree, futile, inas- •' :much as soon-as their presence was . .^withdrawn from the field, they inime- 'diately relapsed into their former state. Sudden Death at Cantilc. The people of the village of Castile . were very much surprised on Tuesday ' morning: to learn of the sudden death .1 of Mr. Marcus Aiken in the 68th year . of his age. Monday night he retired as usual but on the next morning no answer was given by him to the call to breakfast. On opening the door of his sleeping i-ooni he was discovered to be cold in death. Dr. Traver, coroner, was called but no inquest was consider ed necessary, it being evident that death was the result of natural causes. The coroner was satisfied that death was caused by appoplexy, and has given • a certificate to that effect. Keceiols from the President inl Offices in Wyoming Comity.

The dining room is pleasant and -cheery and the tables are always sup plied with the best of the season's pro ducts, cooked and served in the most experienced and tasty manner. The bar room, in charge of that genial and gentlemanly clerk, Mr. \Lon\ Streeter, is always a model of neatness, order -and comfort. Intnrovements are the order of the day in the Nichols House, recently an extension of bar counter has been mado and another entrance to the dining hall cut through from the - sitting room. Prank and Lon are hosts of hosts in the hotel business, hence the wide popularity of tho Nichols House with travelers. Teachers' Examinations.

Hon ns a Village. \It will bo surprising to many to learn that the little hamlet east of hero called \The OFbrks\ was once Springville's business competitor,\ says the Local News. v,\But nevertheless, such is tho case. It was way bank iu the corn whiskey days when tho country was new and electric lights and \hoss\ cars wore never thought of. Every ham let h'ad;its whiskey still in these days —\The Forks\ had ono and so did Spririgvillo and tho competition be- tween;the two was lively. It was the custom to exehango corn for whiskey at \tho\.' distillories. Pour gallons of wh.isk.ey paid, for a bushel of shelled corn. .--Think of this, O yo modern tip pler I'vJBnt they out prices in those days as they do now, and people chased up and \down the creek to do the best they eould-^with their corn. \The Forks\ stiirraised the price to five gallons and finally, 1 to knock out all rivals and to corner/the corn market, Goodomote & Shultes, tho Springville distillers, of- ferod to give six gallons of whiskey for a bushel of corn. It had the desired offect'jand silenced all competitors. It created a tremendous boom for Spring ville and people settled here from far and near, declaring this to be the verit able land of promise.\ Desirable Combination*. T1U-: ISKAUTTS-l'I. ROCKIKS.

The fire boys woro called out'Satur- day at 4.30 by a small fire in R. W. Thomsetts dwelling on Forest street. They responded very quickly and the fire was put out beforo much head way had been made. The damage by fire and water, however, will be quite heavy, as Mr. Thomsett had one of the finest modern equipped dwellings in the place. Our school seems to bo on the high road to success. The new building which was erected at a cost of $8,000, is now full, and the patrons aro already talking of additions to the structure. The trustees have added a new library of 355 volumes.

IIne;e i*Ue of C'onfeilerute Money. Eighty million dollars in hills woro shipped to Atlanta yesterday, tho mam moth packages of money filling five large dry goods boxes and making in all more than a dray load. None of the bills are current however, as they rep resent \nothing in God's earth now and naught in the waters below it.\ They were confederate bills of the rarest type. Tho huge pile of genuine confederate money was shipped here from Rich mond, ,Va.. the former capitol of tho Confederacy, and is now the property of Mr. Chas. D. Barker, No. 90, S. For syth street, this city. Tho money is of every denomination issued by tho departed nation and in tho big collect ion are bills of the rarest type. There are bills issued during every year of the war. Thousands of them are very valuable as relics, -but tho great num ber of them Mr. Barker ihas on hand will make them so common as to bring but little on the market.
