Mr. Bull’s Eye Man: We would like for you to inform us whose place it is to till up the street after the sidewalks are rais ed. We see that the King corner has been raised and many others ; The two Battey corners, and the Curry and Hamilton corners. Why has not the street been raised in front of Vandykes, Curran & Scott, J. 1). Ford, Ford’s Block, Rome Grocery Company, Montgomery, and R. J. Ragan?

If anvone should get hurt, I do not see why you could not sue the property owners for damage, also the city for same. Please give us some information on the subject.

Walnut Ridge, Ayk., is all ex citement over the terrible answer that was made to a prayer at a camp meeting near the town last night. The weather is warm, and the people have built an arbor in a grove, and revival meetings are being held in it. Great interest has been manifested, and this fact has added to the zeal. One night recently, as Rev. Robinson, a local preacher of strong lungs, was praying, he asked the Lord to bless them now with rain, saying: “Lord come down now and pour out a blessing of some nature up on us; one of such a nature as we can remember; one that we can feel certain that it is from you, and come now.” Here the prayer stopped, not because the “amen” was reached, but because a flash of lightning came down with the roar of ten or more cannon, shattering a huge tree near by, scattering its branch es over the entire audience, knock ing some senseless, wounding oth ers and frightening all, most of the audience believing that the end of the world had come. They had scarcely recovered rom the shock when such a vol ume of water came down as to al most drown them all. This would not seem so peculiar were it not for the fact that until the flash of lightning no cloud was visible, and stars were shining brightly everywhere; but at that moment a small coffin-shaped cloud hovered over the audience, and from it came the deluge of water. The Globe-Democrat correspond ent has talked with many that were present, and they all unite in saying that no cloud was visi ble until after the crash; then the coffin-shaped cloud hovered over them. The lightning stroke was heard 1 ‘veral miles away, and the smal cloud was noticed, but no water fell except in the small area of the camp meeting ground. It was a remarkable occurrence, and whether it came in wrath or as a blessing, it broke up the meet ing, and but few of those who were present can be induce,l t >go near the ground again. Those who have examined the ground think that not less than fifteen inches of wa ter fell, and that in less that, five minutes.—St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. HAVE YOU VOTED?

The climate of Colorado is so exceedingly dry iu rhe greater por tion of the state that ordinary ob jects, such as potatoes, vegetables and even small animals petrify when covored with sand. The body of Wild Bill, the fa mous desperado is solid stone. He was buried in a saudy country near Telluride, and about four years ago his friends decided tc. put up a monument to his memory They went out to his grave which is in the open prairie, and one of the party, an old scout was taken along to exactly locate the epot where he was buried. The sand had shifted and blown in great heaps, as it does al, through that country, and the scout had a good deal of difficulty in lo eating the spot. Finally he struck a mound which he said had Wild Bill under it. Owing to the uncertainty of the situation and his hesitancy, the party decided to dig down and see if he was right. Presently the spade, ran into a rock —a scarce thing in that coun try. They shoveled around it and soon revealed the petrified image of Wild Bill as perfect as the day be died, with not a trace of de composition. Even the clothes and shoes were turned to stone. Some of the parties wanted to take up the body for the purpose of exhibition. But one of Bill’s old pals, Shorty Jake, as be was call ed remarked that the first man who tried to do so would find a bed in the hole that Bill filled. So the idea was abandoned.—Wash ington Post.
