Grandmother Miller was buried iu the Ladoga cemetery ou last Sunday.

Public opinion is said to be the only thing in this world that is omnipotent. But it is as shifting as it iB powerful. Several years ago public opinion by large majorities voted a railroad tax in Clark, Scott and Brown townships to aid the road, now the line of the Midland railway, and Clark and Scott, like little men, paid the first half when the grade was completed, but Brown refused, and did uot pay tier honest debts by force of popular opinion, tfcott and Clark again pledged by personal pledges and popular will to Mr. Crawford to pav, in good faith, the last half when the Cars ra through the townships. The pledges and p-iblic will were relied upon and the rails were 1:m1 and the cars ran, and when the time came as was agreed, for Clark, Scott ami Brown to pay their honest debts, public will worked up to a point that lfegal proceedings were hastily resorted to to stop the payment of the money, not on the ground that the townships did uot owe the money, but that Heury Crawford had not acquired the right to collect the old debts.

Presto change. It is your bull goring your ox. Now from the fact that the Midland subsidies failed to materialize the road has gotten behind and caunot pay its debts. Public opinion has taken another lofty tumble. The people of these townships have assumed the roll of a mob and resort to violence and are approved by the popular outcry, ''Hold the Midland iu durance vile until she pays," and they are doing it Shame! Oh shame! or. such. Let him that is without sin cast the first stone. Pay what your townships owe and then exact payment of Crawford. We are not complaining of the men who want their money, but of the frenxy and excitement into which the popular will is runniug. As an outsider we ask who has committed the greatest injustice, the public who deceived Crawford out of thousands of dollars, or the dolay of a few hundred dollars to men at work on an enterprise that has paid better to them than it has to their employers. As the Ladoga Leader truthfully said, "There are two sidos to this question." "There is no hanging for debts," is ns old as the hills. Do not disgrace yourselves by such imonsistencles.

DABLINGTON.

Rev. Spohu is trying to get up an excursion to Kokonio. Richard Harper sold a car load of cattle to George Kashuer this week.

Cy Boober sold two horses to an Indianapolis man last week for 31287. Corn has taken a drop in this market. Fiftythree cents isjthejprice paid.

Beef cattleJarejiB scarce as heu's.teeth and it takes good teetbito eat what little we can get. Sam Martin amhWohn Brown went to Iudianapolis lastjWednesday on business.

Mrs. Cy Booheifwas taken suddenly sick last Tuesdaylmorning, but is better at this writing.

Aunt Nellie Flannigan, of Crawfordsville, is visiting at Cy jBooher's, east of town, this week. (irandma Shriver wants to sell her property and move to Lafayette to live with her son, Alouzo. ,i i,

Wesleyj Buzzard looks like he had been drunk for a month, but he only got poisoned while fishing.

Some of the farmers jtbink the wheat Crop is badly damaged by the drouth but we think it is all right.

Uucle JohnJHuiet is in the salt trade again. He has ono car load onj-hnnd and another one on the road.

Dan Servies bought fifty head of sheep of George Kashner,{after they were clipped, for $5.60 per head.

The late frosts have damaged all the grapes and small fruit to[Buch[an extent that there will not be half a[crop.

Mr. Shannon and his partner are full of business. They are[buying timber and hauling it from Boone county.

The person who took IrajBooher's chair from in front of his store a few nights ago had betreturn it beforejtrouble commences.

The millineryJjBtores of this town and the dressmakers have bee'i rushed about quite lively, owing fito a {large trade for several weeks.

The two Ashley Brothers have been holding a protracted meeting at the Christian church this week,|which has resulted in several conversions.

The farmers this part of the county are all about done planting corn, but the crop is in a critical condition on account of the dry weather.

The farmers of.tliis vicinity and citizens of DarlingtonTcan uot afford to miss the Hour mill now iu contemplation by the Clouser Brothers.

Mrs. Naylor and daughter,'Hattie, was called to Peru lastlSaturday to attend the funeral of a brother of MrB. Naylor's. They returned Tuesday evening.

When you see a man with a pleasant grin ou his face and riding in a new buggy, ask him where he gotjt, and he will tell you of Ira Booher, at Ditilington.

We understand that Saui Martin, of this place, is being talkedjof for county assessor. No better man could! be'found for that place. He is well qualified and knows the business.

Decoration Day at this place will be observed by all the Sunday schools of the town and vicinity. The services will be held in Kirkpatriek's grove, west of town. All are invited.

Some people are silly enough to think that if a person engagesjin the same business they are iu they are ruined. This is a mistake. Competition is the life of trade and we can stand all that is offered.

Billy Coleman and a little son of Frank untie wero goingjup Main street last Tuesday anil by some means they upset their buggy, throwing them out. The boy was badly hurt and Billy was scratched up considerably.

Sam Martin and Ira Booher are soliciting money for the {.Clouser Brothers to build a flour mill at this place. It will take a donation of $1,200 to get them'to come here. A good Industry of this kiud is what Darlington needs, and if the citizens will take hold and see that this money is raised it will be the best enterprise that has ever struck the town. The farmers for eight miles around the town will coine here for their milling, and they will do their trading here also. It is no trouble to get them to buy if they will come to town, as our merchants will sell as cheap as they will at any other place.

THE BALHINCH BUGLE.

Mh.

Kmron:

Last week's Balbtuch Bugle contained the following: The grand carnival of

Balhincli inosquitos has begun. Their songsand war dances make the nights hidious, while ttie howls of victims can be beard on every hand. His "jags" here is a fair specimen of tho average Balhinch mosquito. His sting is superior to auy carnivorous cuss that Hies in these parts. He is never so happy as when picking 011 a stranger, especially aYountsvilleian. He will

:,

remain with us all summer.

The new machinery for the patent bootjack factory has arrived. It is now only a question of time when Balhinch will be furnishing the world iu bootjacks. It connection with this factory, a machine for the manufacture of toothpicks will be started.

Prof. Goodsense lectured here ln6t Saturday night on "Deism, Theism and 'Freeism.'" Iu the course of his remarks, he said: "We often hear Christians speak of the goodnesi and mercy of God—the God of the HOLY Bible —who created man in his own image and then said, 'I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth both man and beast and creeping thing, and the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.' The very thought of God repenting is iu itself absurd the idea of Him threatening to destroy lils own children is not only extremely preposterous, but fiendish! A merciful God!"

Referring to Hell the the Prof, said: "The first threats of Hell in the Scriptures occur in the teachings of Christ. He represents it as a region of fire. In revelation St. John informs us what fuel is to support the unquenchable fire: 'He shall be tortured with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And they shall have no rest day and night.'" A merciful God, indeed! A God that would roast human beings is more inhuman than the tyrant Czar of Russia, who rules 'by divine right."'

After talkiug of the folly of trying to harmonize the cruelties of the Bible with the goodness of Jehovah, Prof. Goodoensecontinued: "Iu the presence of great calamities how ludicrous are the attempts of certain Chnstiaus to reconcile' the goodness of God with the cruelty of the results for instance, Talmage, the sensational preacher, in explaining the Johnstown flood, said it was caused by the "'demons of the pit.'" If this was a fact the 'demons of the pit' are stronger than G6d or God is not infinitely good. Whenever au accident happens to an immoral house, you hear the cry, 'A judgement of God.' If He is instrumental in bringing about these disasters, why is He so partial, so unjust? If this God of the HOLY church has the power topuEish wrong doing, why does He permit the innocent to suffer at the hands of the wicked? Where was he during the Mountain Meadow massacre? Why did He recline leisurely on His throne and allow Mormon monsters to butcher little innocent children? Why does He not hear the cries of poor exiles in Siberian mines? The narrow Christian world has always had a warped and barbarous idea ot God. Christianity has been a curse to the world as its bloody trail, running through pages of history, plainly shows. What Christian ever had as clear an idea of God as Pythagoras? What Christian ever bad as pure and grand a conception of a Supreme Being as Thomas Paine? It is time the Christian's crude conceptions of God were relegated to the fancies of savage tribes from whence they sprang." *4r ,r '.

"The History of Balhinch" is the latest hook out. The author is one of our oldest residents. The work is illustrated with wood cuts. The writer gives a vivid description of au old time ball that occurred here just before the war. It is entittleil, "A Parody (yi Byron's Battl« of Waterloo. Here it is: "TUero was a sound of hilarity by night, And lialliinch town had gathered then Ilor bon tons and her chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair maids and m«'u* A score of hearts beat happily and when Music squeaked and groaned from fiddles Un-co, Soft eyes winked at cyos and winked again, And all wuat merry as a Jamboree But hush! hark! a wild sound breaks on tho spree. Did ye not hear it? No 'twas but tho wind. Or Dan Keller's hounds baying at tho moon On with tho dance! let joy be uneouflned No sleep to-night, but till to-morrow noon We'll ehaso the happy hours to lively tune. Hut hark! once more that dreadful sound breaks upon the air (Te gods! 'twas 'nough to scare old Daniel Hoone) Near it came, howliug, groaning like a flrey nightmare, Arm! arm! it is—it is .lackvillo lminme.rson a tear. Ah! then there were sobs and cries of frightened maid?

Kuuniug here and thrroin skirls of brilliantine. And tear-stained cheeks (one hour ago an inch thick laid With chalk and starch) that blushed at thought of freckles seen And there wore wails and sudden partings such as made The heart flutter, and kegs of beer and bleary oyes. And gathering of clubs and bricks to check tho raid Which might again bo repeated—U what surprise, Sinco on night so sweet pandemonium should rise.

Like an avalanche, or charge of maddened troops. The Jackvillo bummers made an onslaught on the—beer. Above the din and clatter of the fray the whoops Of lialliinch braves rang out, though driven

While sitting in our sanctum one day last week, a short stout man with a determined look in his countenance, came quickly in and demanded to know "who writ that air piece in the Bugle 'bout my wife bavin' the grip an' my horse the iniluenzy. For," he said, "I will thrash the ground with him for printiug such dirty lies." We wero not in the best of humor. A subscriber who had promised us wood failed to come to time, and our wife had to go to the elevator and get, an apron full of cobs to cook the. beef liver, on which we contemplated a grand feast.

It is funny to notice what imitative animals monkeys are. Some of our dudes were up at Crawfordsville, hu-t week, aud noticed that dudes up there took of! their hats iu recognizing the ladies as they passed by. Straightway our home monkeys followed suit, thinking that the good old style of bowing with the hat ou, would not do, that it was not civil, that the hidies would not recognize them, and now it would make a mule laugh to see them taking oil their hats as they pass along the streets of Balhinch. They even take then'i off to every horse or cow they meet, in order, we suppose, to keep in practice. BILL GULLIVEK.
