There is a scheme on fool, by the republicans to place all the precincts at the new division in Craw/ordsvi'le a'id to have none out f*i the townships.

The Pub's now want to drive all the township in so they can run things to suit themselves. We are of opinion they will be mistaken.

Pioneer Grit.
"Ihe women of this day in their silks, latest style or bonnets, and living in their luxuriously furnished homes have little conception ot the hardships endured or true grit displayed by many ol the pioneer worn, of Montgomery county," said an old citiz the other day to a RKVII.W repi-sentanvo. »I have in mind," said he, ".HI instance of this in the mother of Enoch Smith, living two or three miles east of t. lavvfoidsville. She came here iu an early '1.0 with her family from Kentucky. She came 111 the winter and entered the laud on which her descendants now live. The snow was a toot deep. They shoveled it away from the giound on which the 'house' was to stand, cut down two ash trees, split them up, built a square pen, tlnew brush and leaves around tho openings and occupied it the first day as a home and used it as such through several months of cold winter weather. Have you any women Crawfordsville that would consent to such hardships? I think not. Good day!" and our narrator disappeared.

He is a man about'35 years old, works hard for the church and will no doubt be able 1:1 a largo measure to restore its foi nior prosperity.
