Attention
There will be a called meeting of Calhoun Post on Saturday,
Jan., 27, 1894. All comrades requested to attend. BY ORDER COMMANDER.
In this issue will be found the announcement of E. Wilkinson for Clerk of
Road District No. Three. Mr. Wilkinson has served in this capacity and has
made an efficient officer. To re-elect him would be a just recognition of
his services which we have no doubt will be done.
That Calhoun county
is in need of a new jail, can no longer be questioned. There is now another
prisoner in the Jersey county jail, conveyed from this county, at the public
expense. It is needless to advocate the building of a jail, or present any
reasons why such a building should be erected. We have no doubt, but the
question will be submitted this fall for the consideration of the voters.
Jos. Gress, died at his residence near St. Michael’s church Saturday
evening. Mr Gress was born in Germany in the year 1815 and came to America
while a young man. His death removes one of the oldest settlers in Crader
precinct. His remains were interred in the St. Michael’s cemetery, Father
Johannes conducting last sad rites. The HERALD extends sympathy to the
bereaved.
Reubin Harrell, who was confined in the jail here last
week, was taken to the Jersey county jail Friday, Geo. Wilkinson and Lee
Fowler escorting him to his new quarters. Mr Harrell will no doubt be
brought to realize the error of his way before he is through with this
matter. He may be lead to appreciate the fact that rough and toughism, and
publicity to his adulterous actions, will not always be tolerated in a civil
community.
The persistent cough which usually follows an attack of
the grip can be permanently cured by taking Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. W.
A. McGuire of McKay, Ohio says: “LaGrippe left me with a severe cough. After
using several different medicines without relief, I tried Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, which effected a permanent cure. I have also it to be without
an equal for children when troubled with colds or croup. For sale, by L. M.
Davis, Hardin and Rose & Fen, Kampsville.

1894, has been apportioned among the counties of the State. Cook Co. gets
$308,783, LaSalle comes in next with $21,152.
We failed to call attention
in last week’s issue. The title of the story is “A Study in Scarlet” and
will be found an interesting story.
