STRIKE ON THE PIKE. Ali the teamsters hauling gravel on the new gravel road struck Jot higher wages yesterday at 1 o’clock. The strikers with their teams thought they ought to make $2 per day, at least, but a cut on the price per load enables them to make but $1,60. At two o’clock yesterday afternoon all the teamsters drove through Nashville shouting and in the best of humor. In the front wagon they carried a lap robe for a banner. Mr. Musselman, one cf the contractors, followed the procession of wagons in a buggy and as Mr. Musselman drove 'to the livery stable the strikers who had gathered at the mineral well, gave him a hearty cheer. Fourteen teams and about thirty hands made up the procession. How to Keep Flowers. Harper’s Bazaar for the current week gives some excellent ideas on the preservation of cut flowers. Merely putting the stems into water is apparently not sufficient, and with a little more care even the most perishable blossoms may be preserved. “Ail leaves should be removed from the part of the flower stem that is to lie underneath the water,” says the Bazaar, “otherwise these sodden leaves decay and make the water offensive. Every day the flowers must be carefully lifted from the water, aud the eighth of an inch cut from the end of the stem. The vase must then be emptied, washed out, and refilled with fresh water.”

W6y Yeu Should Vote For tire Railroad. Fifteen reasons showing its importance. We have no railroad, It will make work. The road will be built. It will give you a home market. It will make'fuel cheaper. It will cheapen fare. Cheapen freight. Cheapen expressage. It will make more business. Give us greater population. It has proper financial backing. It will make property more valuable. It is easy to pay for. ; It is badly needed. It is to YOUR interest. Burns & Anderson who have the contract for drilling’a tubular well for 0. B. Hanna arrived in town last Tuesday afternoon about two o’clock. The balance of the day was taken up in leveling the machine, locating, etc., and on Tuesday morning early steam was raised and the drill was started on its journey down, down, down through mother earth in search of the health-giving mineral water. At this writing the drill has gone down to a depth of 50 feet and is in sand stone. Should Mr. Hanna be successful in his effort to find a good supply of mineral water he will at once commence the work of erecting an up-to-date sanitarium. May success crown his efforts. Henry Ayres of near Story was in town last Tuesday and in the afternoon hitched his horse to his buggy, got in and started home. Just after passing the blacksmith shop the horse suddenly took a spell of hilarity with his heels and in a jiffy kicked loose from the buggy. No damage was done except a few "Slight breaks in the harness and buggy. After surveying the surroundings and a careful diagnosis of the disposition of his “kicker” Mr. Ayers left his buggy and made other arrangements to get home.

DEATH QE R. H. GUTHRIE. Robert N.

The funeral services were held at the M. E. church Tuesday morning by Rev. Durard, and were attended by a large number of relatives and friends who had assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The remains were buried at Green Lawn cemetery.

The deceased leaves a heart stricken wife, and two children, Mrs. Clara Patterson and James S. Guthrie, two children, John H. Guthrie and Elizabeth Ann Watts, having preceeded their father to the Land of Bliss above. Also our deceased brother leaves behind him 15 grand children and 3 great grand children besides a large host of relatives and friends. Our deceased brother before moving away from Ohio, was happily converted to Almighty God, joined the Methodist church and lived, as far as we can ascertain, a faithful oonsisfcsnt member until the good Lord called him to his reward above. Bro. Guthrie was a good husband, a good father, a kind neighbor, and a useful citizen, holding at the time of his death, the office of Magistrate. The vacant chair in the church and in the home will never be filled again as they were.

Death of Dr. Nathan Browning’. Dr. Nathan Browning died at his home in Needmore last Monday morning. About four weeks ago he was attacked with typhoid fever, but the insidious disase had such a hold on him that nothing could be done to evade the death summons. In the death of Dr. Browning the community kas lost a useful, industrious and honorable citizen. The funeral services were held at Needmore last Wednesday and were attended by a large number of relatives and friends. The remains were borne to the last resting place by Nashville Lodge Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member. School House Burned. The school house in district 10, Yan Bnren township, burned to the ground last Sunday night. Loss about $500. Insured for $250. It is reported that a number of fellows had been playing cards in the house the night it burned. Henry Smith, aged 53 years, died at the homo of his son-in-law, Frank Payton., in Morgan, county, on Wednesday morning of last week. The remains were interred at the Coon’s cemetery, in this county. The cause of his death could not be learned. F. M. Price of Martinsville was in town Wednesday. He was armed with a kodak and smiled with satisfaction when ne “took a snap” at our court house. Lee Brown of Jackson township was in town Tuesday. Mr. Brown is trustee of his township and is an excellent official. Letter From Geo. TV, Cornelias, Centerville, Indiana.

Willard Yoder, of Chandler, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Belle Kleindorfer were married at the residence of Richard Stevens in Monroe county on Thursday of last week. Rev. Wm. Goodman officiating. Mr. Yoder is a brother of James Yoder, of this county and moved from Nashville to Oklahoma several years ago. The Democrat, together with his many friends here offer congratulations. Mr. Yoder and his bride left on last Tuesday for their Oklahoma home. “A newspaper whose columns overflow with advertisements of business men," says Talmage, the great preacher, “has more influence in attracting actSLiiOuti auu building up a town than any other agency that can be employed. People go where there is business. Capital and labor go where there is an enterprising community. No power on earth is so strong to build up a town as a newspaper well patronized, and its power should be appreciated.” A railroad is wanted here. A railroad is a mighty good thing to have. There is a good prospect for a road to be built through Washington township and Naahville. The election takes place tomorrow. The election boards have agreed to serve without pay and if the proposition to vote a tax fails the cost is but a trifle. Nothing gained, nothing lost. Vote for the appropriation. Brown county people will have a hard time in getting over to Columbus this coming winter, if the people over in Bartholomew county do not promptly attend to improving “Stoney Lonesome.” Columbus has already lost a great deal of trade from the eastern part of Brown county, on account of this miserable road, and, will continue to lose more as long as the road is left in that condition. The voters of Washington township should turn out tomorrow and vote for the railroad appropriation. If the appropriation carrie s there is a good chance for the road, and inasmuch as the chance costs but a trifle there is no reason why we should not make an effort to “get oat of the wilderness.”

Wheat is coming in. To the hungry no bread is dry. “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” If you want your ears pierced pinch the baby. Many a woman with a sweet face has a hitter temper. ' Judge Hord, of Columbus, was in town Tuesday. The up-to date book agent now wears a canvas suit. ■ The rain was hailed with delight by our people last Saturday. Hundreds of visitors dtink our artesian water every week. The gas light at the artesian well lights almost the entire square.. Sr ' > The county oommissioaoss will meet in regular session next Monday. When you hear an item of news come up and tell us about it. Some people think all a newspaper man has to do is to read exchanges. Ladies will wear their skirts longer in July than in June—one day longer. Corn bread will go much further in a hungry family than philosophy will. If you are indebted to this office you are requested to make settlement at . once. ; Do your trading at home. Patronize those who-tell you what they- have before you come. An exchange says that the kissing bugs and gold bugs are> blood-suckers of the worst type. When a man gets mixed E9 with wasp’s nest in the garret he thinns regardless of language. Mrs. Mary Kelley, widow of B. R. Kelly, is dangerously ill at her home three miles south of town.

One of the hardest legal batTes on the saloon license question every fought before the county commissioners in Wayne county, which has been going on the past two months came to a final close on Thursday of last week, resulting in a decision in favor of the remonstrators, against a license saloon in Centerville. Every inch of ground was gone over seemingly to knock out legal voters on technicalities but we gained a glorious victory at last. This is the second hitch we have had of this kind since March 1st and we are better equipped now to knock out the third man than we were the first hitch. Every town and community has its bum element whether they are a necessary evil or not, we have them to contend with and sometimes it takes heroic efforts and heroic remedies to counteract their evil influences but I believe now the moral and Christian element in Center township, Weyne county, are largely in the majority for once in twenty-five years The wheat crop in Wayne this year will yield 20 bushels per acre. A careful estimate puts the amount of last years crop now on hand at 55 per cent, so you see we have quite a large per cent of last years wheat on hand to stimulate this present crop. Meadows are fine both timothy and clover, oats a little short owing to the drought at the most critical period for oats making. I am glad to see that Nashville is coming to the front. Your artesian water is going to be a great drawing card, as well as your health invigorating mountain atmosphere and God-loving hospitable people. I want to say to my old friends and acquaintances of Nashville and vicinity that I have not forgotten a single on'e of them, nor a single word of kindness to me and would be glad to entertain them at my home in old Centerville with the best I have. Yours for Nashville to the front and W. J. Btyan for President in 1900. GEO. W. CORNELIUS.

Ritchey went to Franklin last Monday in answer to a telegram infers ming him of the serious illness of his wife. James Watts and daughter, Miss Bertha, of Columbus, came over Tuesday to attend the funeral of R. N. Guthrie. With a sanitarium, a railroad and a gravel road, Nashville will not be the “only pebble on de beach” but she’ll be the proudest peacock in the flock. It is reported from Johnson township that white caps have been maneuvering for position on a certain individual over there. Nashville has been visited by many strangers this week. They were here to drink water at our artesian well—the fountain of youth, Mrs. Lennie King, Mrs. Ella Durnal and Mrs. Laura Bassett, of Columbus, were here Tuesday to attend the funeral of their uncle, R. N. Guthrie. Charles Shaw of Bloomington, Dr. Mennett and Arthur Overstreet of Columbus, were in town last Sunday. They speak encouragingly of the proposed 0. B, & T. H. Railway. The Massachusetts supreme court, whose opinions are more highly respected than any other state court, has just declared constitutional a law which contains the much discussed provisions of the Indiana Barrett law.
