THE M'CAIN REUNION..

livid at Ditvld II. ltemley'8 West of the City I..tifit Thursday.

As the !:45 a. in. passenger train came to a standstill at the Vandalia depot on Thursday of last week, bystanders soon formed conclusions that some unusual event was about to take place on account of the many smiling faces peeping forth from the windows of the third car. This soon proved to b?t rue. For seven years it has been the custom of the. McCain family, from whom several families owe their origin, one and perhaps the larger being the Remley family, to meet at some designated place and hold an annual reunion. So therefore it was the reoccuring of one of these occasions that was causing the unusual stir at the depot. Buggies and carriages were in waiting and the jovial party, fifty strong, was driven to the elegant and beautiful country home of David Remley, one and one-half miles west of Crawfordsville, on the Yountsville road. But as the train was two hours late and it being already past the hour of noon a sumptuous dinner, which is a characteristic of the McCain reunion, was in readiness for the hungry guests, to which all did justice. It is perhaps lucky for health's sake that such feasts do not happen but once a year. In all one hundred and ten were present and naturally, of course, the sun was but a few hours of sitting when the cravings of the inner man were at last satisfied. The permanent chairman, James McCain, took the floor and called the meeting to order, and after calling on Mr. Silvers for prayer of thanks to God for His merciful goodness to them during the past year, commenced the transaction of such business as was thought necessary. The committee on writing up the early history of the McCain family responded with real interesting papers, but through neglect we failed to obtain any of the history for publication, which, indeed, would have been interesting to the public. At this juncture the meeting was brought to a close and all betook themselves to one end of the lawn where water melons were lavishly served, after which the visiting party was driven to the Vandalia depot where they took the 0 o'clock train for their respective homes at Camden an'3 Flora. Thus ended a day long to be remembered by the participants.

NOTKS.

The next reunion will be held at Camden, Carroll county, August. 18'J.i. Sell Silvers and Love Kirkpatrick rode through on their wheels, a distance of 60 miles, making the trip in about four hours.

How Russians Destroy Rats. The following is said to be the Russian method of destroying rats, and as It appears to be an effectual one those who are annoyed with these animals are recommended to try it. Catch in a wire trap fifteen or twenty large rats (feed them in an extra {rap or wire cage until you have the required nuni' ber) then cease to feed them. They ^vill soon become ferocious and fight, kill and feed upon one another. When only six or eight remain, turn them loose. Accustomed to feed upon their species they will hunt and destroy numbers.

THE COUNTY CONTEST.

MIM Florence Boots, of Darlington, I.amir the First Prize, With Miss Jennie Zelglar Second.

The prize oratorical contest of the graduates of the county schools occurred last night in the Y. M. C. A. armory, this large auditorium being comfortably filled for the occasion. The music was furnished by the Crawfordsville orchestra which did excellent service. After the invocation by Dr. Tucker the following programme was carried out: Music Orchestra Luck and Pluck Caacy What Shall Wo Makothe Purpose of fife?

The speeches were all excellent and, although it was nearly 11 o'clock when the judges retired to make up their verdict, the lengthy programme commanded the close attention of the appreciative audience. All could not win yet all deserved prizes, so many were doubtless disapnointed. There were four prizes of $25, §20, 815 and 810 each, so there was something at stake besides the mere honor.

The judges were Prof. Stalker, Prof. Ogg and Miss Wells, all institute workers. After an absence of some minutes they returned the following verdict: 1st prize—Florence Boots, of Darlington, grade 91 %. 2nd prize—Jennie Zeiglar, of Franklin, grade 90. 3d prize—Jackson Bonnell, of Wayne, grade 89%. 4th prize—Minnie Trotter, of Ripley, grade 5th place—Rose Parker, of Waynetown, grade 88%.

It will be observed that old Franklin township gobbled both first and second prizes. The grades were all close, however, so those who were unmentioned needonot feel the pang of a bitter defeat.

OLD SETTLERS AT MEHARRY'S.

five Thousand People Present—Judge IIarneyV Interesting Address—Talks by Win. llroiuley antl Others.

Yesterday fully 5,000 people assembled at Meliarry's Grove to observe old settlers" day. The exercises began at 1 o'clock by invocation by Rev. Appleby, of Darlington. The chairman, Chas. McICinney, then made a short address at the close of which Judge Harney was introduced.

The .ludge spoke of the manner in which the white inhabitants got their title to the land of this country. It was a case of evolution. The savages gave way to the hunters and trappers and these were followed by the agri culturists. The Indians had no firm title as they moved from place to place as often as the exigencies of hunting and of war demanded. Title in the world's history meant a continued occupancy. The attachments of the Indians were not real. Their departure from their lands was attended by no sentimental feeling. This country, abounding as it was and almost ready to overflow with untold millions of iron, copper, coal, gold and silver, and possessing such wonderful fertility of soil, was certainly not intended by the Almighty for the exclusive occupancy of a few thousand worthless savages who would do nothing to develop the natural resources. The title of our land then came by evolution. The inhabitation of it was clearly a case of 'the survival of the fittest." It was 1809, Judge Harney said that the United States government made a treaty with the Indians of Indiana by which they were moved across the Mississippi river. Then the settlers began to take up the land. They were not animated by the desire to become rich, but to get possession of 100 acres of laud, clear it and make a comfortable living. Such people become conservative and are the best citizens. They met with gigantic difficulties and conquered them. If the people who complain to-day of irdships had to contend with the hardsmps of those brave pioneers they would learn a valuable lesson- They would learn that they must support themselves and not sit around on store boxes at the country store and find fault with the government because it would not support them. The Judge also gave a very interesting description of the history of house building in this country. In the early days adornment was not thought of. First was the rough unhewn log house, then came the hewn log house house with a shed behind it and known as an "1830 house." After that was the two story log house called the 1840 house." Then came the most ridiculous construction of them all, namely, the square box frame, painted white and with no adornments. But we have now but to notice the beautiful cottages and the magnificent structures to see what an advancement has been made in the aesthetic part of crar nature. Great advancement also had been made and could yet be made in the line of good roads.

In the afternoon Wm. Bromley took the stand and said it was GO years ago when he first came to this part of the country. Nineteen-twentieths of the trees now standing in Meharry's Grove had grown since he first saw it. He said the cornfield just west of the grove was a big swamp and that many times in riding in it he had tied the

swamp grass across his horse's withers. Those were hard times then. We have no hard times now comparatively speaking. Mr. Bromley also spoke of the wonderful improvement made in the roads and the mode of traveling. When he came to this country he was on the road twenty-oue days from Adams county, Ohio, to this place. Now you can get on the train at Wingate in the morning, eat your supper in Adams county, Ohio, and get back in time for breakfast. Mr. Bromley's speech was several times interrupted with much applauso and laughter. Miss Gertie Miller then recited a poem "Old Settler," which was written for the occasion by Daniel Murphy. Michael Foley then followed with a few remarks on the progress of the country and the great advancement made in educational advantages.

John C. Wingate was the next speaker, lie spoke of some of the customs of farming when he was a boy, an especially the manner in which the wheat was cut and bound. There was two ways of binding wheat, viz: binding together and binding by station. He always observed that the most work could be done when they all bound together. From this could be drawn an important lesson at this time of our country's history when faction was opposing faction, when capital was arrayed against labor and labor against capital. He spoke of the peaceful manner in which the old settlers lived together in the openinir of this country,and how the present age might profit by their example. He never could see the sense of a man striking at a mule when he knew the mule would strike back just as hard, and he didn' %ee any sense of us trying to destroy the railroads because they, perhaps, had done some things they should not have done. Disputes should be settled amicably. Mr. Wingate ended in an eloquent peroration of what the future would bring forth.

The horse as used for drawing wagons on the highways would be supplanted by electricity, the mud road and gravel road would be changed into the cemented and solidly paved highway: our homes in the country as well as in the cities would be lighted and heated by electricity. Mr. Wingate was in his happiest vein and interspersed his speech with happy illustrations and anecdotes which brought forth much laughter and applause.

Speeches were made by several old settlers present which were very interesting to all.

At the close of the meeting the large watermelon offered to the oldest man on the grounds by Mr. Livengood, of Parke county, was awarded to John Hiatt, who is S»'. years old. \V. A. S.

Ileware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through -the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

He says: "Last summer 1 had a very severe attack of llux. I tried almost every known remedy, none giving relief. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I continued to use the medicine and was entirely cured.
