For the largest and best six ears of corn, brought to this office before Christmas, .we will present one year's subscription to the Courier. For the second largest and best six'ears of corn, we will present six month's subscription to the Courier. The

corn will be tied up in packages,

numbered, and laid away until Saturday, Dec. 29th, 1883 when a Committee of disinterested per

sons will make the awards, and they will not know to whom the corn belongs until after their decision is made. The corn will

not be exhibited until on and af

ter Saturday, Dec. 29th. The corn is to become the proper

of the Courier, but we. do not expect to make anything out of the

transaction ; it is simply to en

courage competition among the

farmers, end to make them talk about the Courier. "0Snlyrtliis,

A VISIT TO THE INDIANA SmiTE PRISON SOOTH. " Epjtor CotTRiEit :-Like many othetfs of lJJooiuingtorr aud vicinity wo availed ourselves of the opportunity given : bytheiy, Jj. A. & C. R. R. of visitiuithe great Southern Exposition ' on Indiana Day, Oct, MtM After feasting on the good things of the Exposition to our heart's content, we thought to visit thft Indiana State Prison at Jeffersonville. Here we put in two days the guest of the Chaplain, Rev. L, F. Cain, of our own city. A brief description of what we saw there, might prove of interest to some of your readers. Af

ter an intrcdution to-th Yfard-

en, (Japt. H. J. Howard, arid the Cleric, 'Capt. M. J. Huette, we were ushered through a space made vacant by the swinging aside of a large iron door, and immediately found ourselves surroundod by men clad in striped clothes. We were shown through all the shops, consisting of bot and shoe shops, cooper shop, foundry and dinirighall. Here we found convicts to the number of about 550 men, who- seemed rather te enjoy their work than to strive to shirk from it. Right here we might say, most of the men are on task, the material and machinery are furnished by outside parties and the State receiv

es so much per day forthe ser

vices of each convict. Many of the men perform this task by two or three o'clock, and then receive so much per hour as their own until the bell strikes for quitting at five. This proves a great incentive for men to dispatch work. We were conducted to the dining-hall and witnessed the seating of the great body of men at the dinner table; If the food served that day is 6 fair specimen, those men have no reason to complain of their

food. The Sunday services at the Prison have becdme'jo interestiiig as to attract large crowds from the: outside. In fact the large chapel' has failed to furnish seating capacity for all who desired to attend these services. The reputation that Chaplain Cain has made for himself is ne of which his many friends in this city may feel proud. His sermons are not only appreciated within the Prison, but men who heard him at the Wall St. M. E. church, of Jeffersonvillle, told me he certainly could noit be excels led by any one of his age in the State. Many of Ms friends who witnessed his efforts to obtain an education at the State Uuniversity, actually working his way

through, will be glad to hear of

his wonderful success within three and one-half years after leaving her walls. The people of Bloomington will be satisfied that these statements regarding

his ability as a preacher are-true
