The Democrats of Indian Creek township held a convention Saturday a week, and imagining that ths Republicans were having too. much too say in it, "rubbed out the marks" and agreed to try it over again op last Saturday. Looks odd to see people pqrpbase fish from the street dealers, carry them around town three or four hours, and then take them to
the country, perhaps a distance of
six or eight miles. They are warranted to be ''lender" after this treatment. . Tbe Republicans of Richland township nominated the following named gentlemen for township offices : Trustee, N. R.

Seventeen andidates for county offices attended N. S. Mayfield's sale, west fif town, last Wednesday. The auctioneer was interfered with several times when he asked "what am I offered ?" by candidates jerking out b,Iaok bottles to attract bis attention. Of course these were Democrats. "No mail agent," was the excuse (gain, last week, when there was no mail from the south. Better put on an agent who can wake up in time to take his train in the morning. The mail agents on the L. N. A, & C. railroad are not to blame for the mail failures on the road. When trains are run by mail stations at the rate of 2Sj and 3.Q miles nu hour it is impossible for route gents to put off and take on the mails, Tbe agents are reporting the road to the department for these direlictions.

The people want Uncle Sam to, spend mora money in improving tup es(ate and less in clearing otf a debt thtt does not all lxjlonctqit tingle generation. National Republican. And the same remark applies
with equal foice to the debts, of
cities and counties. Very often a city struggles for ten or fifteen years to pay off a debt incurred for the benefit of posterity for sofyoql s nud school buildings for their use and bc people are denied uir provements that would add greatly to their comfort. The just, mode
of procedure, in the opinion of the
Progress would be, to let posterity tiear a share of these burdens, and not grind down those that uow live and have their being. All the
wealth must pass into the hands of those now being educated aud cared for, and t iey should be permitted to worry over and pay some of tic debts incurred in their behalf. Terre Hau ieCourjer ; Wqi.

F. G. White, with bis dramatic

ter, repudiating & bill of f 3 for ad
V'ertisiog,contracted at this office by his agent Hall showmen are chronic grumbler they almost invariably grumble at the biljbvhey have contracted for board, license, hall rent, dray age, ticket seller's
per cent, or printing, and "kick"
when they finally pay their railroad
fare. It is usually worth a bill to collect it of a hall showman, it
being necessary in many cases to
see the money taken in before they
will admit that they have it. For this reason the Progreos office invariably refuses to do job printing for
them, but as there is much less manual labor or expense involved in setting; UP on advertisement, we
take our chances on t,ha. Yet in the past ten years the White dra
matic troupe is the first on,e. that has, failed to settle for the advertising ordered by its agent.
Old White, (Postmaster McPheeters informs us) refused to pay
him a bill of S3 for the use of a
large bulletin board engaged by
Kay, advance agent, and to avoid trouble, McPheeters finally accept
ed six tickets, which be experienced
considerable difficulty in disposing
of. This company cannot expect
to travel very far on a reputation for
repudiating the contracts of its ad
vance agent.

to. his Texas home to die, t nd he
raked in a goodly number ol quar

years ago near Uosport, anq who at
that tune had the same symptoms
