STOCKHOLDERS MEET.

1'ho Montgomery County Fair Association Holds Its Annual Meeting To-day. Tiicstockholders of the Montgomery I County Agricultural Socioty met this morning for their annmil business meeting nnd tho election of directors. John

L. Davis presided and after the preliminary business \Y. H. Duthain arose and in a neat speech asked that he lie elected as honorary uioiuIht of the ooard, his age interfering with his tal'ing an active part in the work. Both Mr. Durham and Gen. Manson were elected as honorary nieinbers, and upon motion it was decided to elect four ladies also as honorary members. About ten wore nominated and four will bo elected this afternoon with the thirty-six regular directors. The treasurer's report showed that the debts had been liquidated, and that there was a balance in the treasury of of SI5:173. A committee consisting of W. II. Durham, John L. Davis and M. 11. Waugh were ap]oiuted to consider the advisability of purchasing more ground, the putting in of a mile track and inaugurating several innovations for the next fair. This afternoon the election of directors is going on and there is considerable canvassing going on iu the corridors of the court house. The Association was never in so prosperous condition as it is at present, and the stockholders are determined that the association shall still stand second to none in the State. They propose that the next fair shall set forth some new features and be rendered attractive in now ways. It shall not be permitted to fall back one inch and the next fair will be greater than any of its predecessors. The introduction of ladies to a place on the board is certainly a step in the right direction and cannot fail to result in great good.

A Look Into the Photograph HuntIICHH Lawson, the photographer, opened his gallery here about one year ago. He has made seventeen hundred neg atives fifteen hundred of these are cab inet negatives at 82 per dozen, would bo 83,000 two hundred are Panels Bodwars and large family groups. Negatives ranging in price from So to 312 per dozen, averaging 88 apiece which would be 81,700 he has taken 700 duplicate orders from the above negatives making a total of So,300 business the first year. Exactly the same material is used by all photographers, so there is no difference in that respect, and there never has been one dozen cabinet photographs made in Crnwfordsville by Lawson or anyone else that cost (for material) to exceed 00 cents and the material for largo work in proportion You can make your own deduction and you will find Lawson is not in the bus iness entirely for his health, but is knocking out above all his expenses 83,000 or over per annum. Oh! ves, ho makes fine work or ho never could hav built up such "a business.

DOES LITERATURE PAT?

The Offers General Wallace Has Had from Publishors. It is a matter of current rejiort and, indued, of very general belief, if not of very general truth, that men of letters whoso works charm the world profit but little by their labors, the material gain going not to them but to the grasping publisher, against whose proverbial cupidity so much has boon said and written. There are exceptions to all rules, however, and it seems that when an author has once made a great name in the world, the publisher assumes a much milder character, and with good reason, for he in handling such Tork Uikes no risk and can afford to net fairly with the author. As the time approaches for the appenrance of General Wallace's new book he is besieged byhosts of both American and English publishing houses that desire to issuo the work from thoir presses. The offers made are all unusually generous. Where the standard royalty tendered the author ranges between 10 and 20 per •ent of the profits, the offers made General Wallage range betweeu 50 and GO per cent. One publishing house for example (whose proposition The Jorisn'al hiis seen) offers a royalty of GO per cent of the profits with a cash advance payment of $25,000 upon the signing of the contract. It any author ever had more liberal offers The Jocknal would be pleased to hear of them. They certain! do not flourish in America.

Freed From the Fruit Tree Agent. This afternoon Mrs. Mattie Stevenson came before the circuit court with Humphrey & Reeves her attorneys, asking the t:?s which bound her to Ita Stevenson be untied. She and Irn ived out in Coal Creek until '88 when Ira was obliged to fly his kite, he haviug given a number of bogus orders for fruit trees as well as having dabbled in female politics to an extent not allowable by law. From that day to this he has not been heard from, and as he left while the question of presenting him with a coat of tar and feathers was being discussed by the neighborhood, it is not likely that he ever will be. The court granted the divorce and restored to Mrs. Stevenson hor maiden name of Harpy together with the care and custody of her blooming five-year-old son, a lad of hope and promise.

Seems Is Believing.

The all absorbing question of the hour is: "When will the gas get here?' Will it be to-morrow? next week? next month? next yaar? Supt. McAlevy says he has his idea on the sublect but for policy's sake -will keep his head shut. The JornxAi. doesn't know and doesn't believe anyone else does. Tt predicts, however, that we will have it next week So keep your burners trimmed and your matches burning, -for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the natural gas cometh.

Church Social.

The ladies of First Presbyterian church, third ward, will give one of their substantial suppers on next Thursday evening, Dec. 10. Supper from 5 to 8 clock. A welcome to all.

S. of V,

Regular meeting to-night at 7:30, Election of officers. All members will please take notice.

r: COLLEGE NOTES.

Miliigan's "notes" are very copious. The Sophs are busy cribbing Latin essayB.

Prof. Milford postponed his morning recitations till afternoon to-day. Only eight Seniors attended chapel yesterday. Oh! degenerate- day!

Everybody wants to get a looi at Cutter's celttc necktie to-morrow. It's great.

Ihe Horace class is so enthusiastic that its members come to recitation from ten to fifteen minutes before the bell rings. Prof. Kingery says it is a new experience for him.

Another squad of clever Juniors delivered their orations this morning. They relieve tho monotony of the occasion by burning rubber, humming, throwing old shoes and cracking stale jokes.

Ihe library and recitation rooms have been very inadequately heated lately, presumably owing to the scarcity of coal. But this certainly is a cause for a portion of the numerous easeo of sickness among the students.
