The correspondent from this place to the Crawfordsville Jouraal of last week, breaks out in something like this: "I am authorized to give notice to the two leading political parties of county that ever hereafter if they want the support of Wayne township, they must nom inate men who are not afraid to come out flat-footed on the side of temper ance and will place themselves as such on any occasion and under any circumstances. Politicians will please make a note of this." In answer to this we will say of the gentleman, if all this be true, undoubtedly he carries the suffrage of Wayne township in his vest pocket, and you politicians had just as well get ready, take notice and'govern yourselves accordingly.
LINDEN.
Last Sunday was a very quiet day in this place as the snow was too deep for pedestrians.
When the mercury drops below zero it is cold, but to see it below zero in the month of March, as it was on last Tuesday morning, is somewhat unusual.

Daily Moiiinu Review is keeping fully abreast of the times. Linden's streets are in a bad condition. Some say that fhey have not been as bad since they were first graded as they are at present. They should have a tVinch coat of new coarse gravel on the old gravel, and where they have not been graded they should have an 18inch coat, eighteen feet wide, ot coarse gravel.
From present indications some of the men that have poured down large quantities of Paddy's eyewater and "sworn off" are now taking a wee drop of the crayther for the stomach's sake. They could be upright men without fooling with the stuff that Btealaaway their wits and prepares them to fill drunkards' graves.

The valley school house, No. 14, is blessed with an excilent teacher, one who fearlessly discharges her duty no matter how hard it is to soundly whip the big boys. Our oldest boy came home whipped last week, a wiser and better boy.
The topic of conversation here seems io bo the Philippine question, and many seem to think the Philippine move is one manufactured by shrewd politicians and capitalists to divert the minds of the people from the main issue in 1900, which will be the silver question. We find the Democrats in this locality still keeping their eagle eyes on the Chicago platform. They are firm and uncompromising.
Having passed through a very severe trial of sickness with three children, each one lying quite low with fever' we bow our head in thanks to the Booker T. Washington Club, of Crawfordsville, for its letter of tender sympathy. Shakepeare says that mercy decends from heaven like the gentle rain it falls on the rich and poor alike, and for these tender words of kindness, we feel grateful.
This week's literary waB greeted with a full house, and was universally conceeded to be the finest entertainment ever given at the valley school house. The programme opened with recitations and was followed with a burlesque Shakespearian tragedy, which provoked tremendous applause. The female characters in the piece were ably performed by Misoes Florence Demorett and Alice Biggs. The individual who engineered the red light was a little bit slow but he got there. The festivities closed with a comic debate. The negro dialect speech by Frank Miller and the muBic by the

Miss Polly Pacer, of Hog Heaven, made us a very pleasant visit Wednesday evening. She wore a bright shining dress of evening pattern around her neck. I noticed a gold dagger of very sweet pattern, indicating to me that her heart had been touched. We chatted for a long time on our misfortunes in life and the rise and fall of great men and women. "I tell you," said Polly, "I could have gotten Ellis Gray for the asking, but I belivewhen Shakspeare said, "Blow, blow, thou winter wi^d,
Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude, Thy tooth is not so keen," he kne'v that men would not love us women as we ought to be, and I don't take much stock in this kind ot a syndicate, do you,Sandy?"
