The Review.

COL. INGERSOL SHOCKED.

Col. R. G. Ingersol announces that b- is shocked beyond all measure at le late Georgia lynching, and deplores the fact that he cannot find lmguage to express his horror and indignation. In the Book which Ingersol has tried so hard to destroy for the past twenty-five years it is written '"By their fruits shall ye know them.

Do men gather grapes of thorns of figs of thistles?"' For a quarter of century Ingersol has gone up and down the land preaching a gospel or despair, whose legitimate and authenticated evangel is the pistol of the assassin and the rope of the lyncher

Col. Ingersol has no reason to be shocked. The lynching of Hose is only the legitimate fruits of the dragon's teeth which he has-sown with such lavish land. He has taught men that they need have no fear of God, of devil, or of man. That all the triumphs of civilization laid to the Christian religion were but the figments of disordered,diseased brains. That it was abject slavery to bow the knee before any higher power than Reason. He has taught men to follow where reason led them, and to disregard the law of Sinai, which ac

cording: to his theory was the law of one man for the government of recalcitrant barbarians fleeing from bondage and obtained by means of necromancy, amid carefully arranged bursts of the spectacular. The Colonel asks dramatically, ''Are the white peopie insane?" Has mercy fled to beasts?" These questions coming from the lips of Beecher, or Spurgeon would have had the right ring. These men worked their lives out to build up the faith of men in the love and mercy of an over-ruling power. Worked to give the race an uplift toward the model man,—the Prophet of Galile. Such questions from such men could be understood. But coming from Ingersol we fail to appreciate them. If the people of Georgia are insane if mercy hail fled from them to beasts, Col. Ingersol must bear his share of the odium which attaches to their act. These men were following that blind Reason, which cried "vengenance," and which is but little if any below that Reason which casts God out of the affairs of men and curses

Christianity as an interfering meddlesome element with, the personal rights and liberties of men. The Colonel's speeches and the literature of free thinking clubs is no doubt the mental pabulum of half of those cruel Georgians whose acts has so shocked the modern apostle of paganism. It is the fruit of the tree planted by his own hand and watered by Ins own eloquence. Yet he wonders how such

men can belong to the human race. It would be at least modest iu Col. Ingersol to allow someone else to condemn the state of affairs to which his teaching would bring the entire world.

GOVERNOR

Candler, of Georgia,

states that the great trouble down south with the negro lies in the fact that rotten politics was too much in evidence during the reconstruction perior1.. When the laws were administered by carpet-baggers and scalawags, who were ready to go to any length to hold their power. The ballot was thrust into the negro's hand, when he was utterly unprepared to use it, while his head was filled full of false ideas by those to whom he looked as guides. They impressed upon him the idea that he was the ward of the nation, and for partisian purposes held out to him the idea that right or wrong the nation would stand by him. The Governor says this is the prime cause of all the trouble which has bred lynchings.

The old master and slave have no trouble. It all springs from the young er generation. He calls upon all good negroes to assist in the apprehension and punishment of criminals of their race. He also calls upon the legislature to pass a law suppressing the shyster lawyer, who is a great medium in defeating the ends of justice.

At Waynetown.

Things are busy now down at Waynetown. A new blacksmith is the latest addition to its business list. Several weeks since the old Heffner stand came under control of W. T. Shelley, of Advance, who is a born mechanic. Mr. Shelly is booming the business down that way and the other workmen are wondering how he shoes a horse to prevent its interfering, stumbling or forging. He is fully up with wagon work and placc-s a guarantee on every job. Mr. Shelley has become a popular business and social resident of the town.

Death of Mrs. Kritz.

The wife of Prof. Kritz died at their home in Waveland late last evening A telephone message was sent to C. Barnhill to take charge of the remains. Mrs. Kritz has been in a critical condition for some time, and her death was not unexpected. She was a sister of the late W. T. Brush of this city, and was well known here, although residing at Waveland for many years. Her age was about 70 years. She was the mother of twelve children, eleven of whom are living.

Christian Church Improvements. During the next few weeks the Christian church in this city will take on some substantial improvements. At a meeting of the church board Sunday afternoon the subject of adding a lecture room on the west side of the building and putting in a handsome pipe organ in the main auditorium was discussed at some length, and while no definite action was taken it is more than probable that these improvements will be made during the coining summer months.

Probate Court.

Depew Hyten has been appointed administrator of the estate of Michael O Herron.

John Harrigan has been appointed guardian' of the minor heirs of Simpson and W. B. Montgomery.

The will of Matilda Thomas has been probated. The will ofHannah Crowe has been probated. Maurice J. Lee, executor.

Surprised.

Wednesday night the Kathbone Sisters of New Ross held an interesting meeting, being assisted by sisters from the Jamestown and Ladoga lodires. While in the midst of work the Sir Knights invaded the hall with goot| things toeat. and mirth in abundance1.'• It was away after the midnight hour before the happy throii'r dispersed. The surprise was joyfully received by the ladies.

I Real Estate Deal. Howard O'Neal has sold his farm of 266 acres in Ripley township to Wm. Archay for $14,000, and takes in part payment Mr. Archey's Water street property in this city valued at $4,500. Mr. O'Neal will remove to Crawfordsville to educate his children.

ArRiL 22, 1899.

MY DEAH MA.JAH:—I

had a letta.li

from a friend in youli town sah, telling me of the grand stand play you weh makin' foh silvah, sah. I congratulate you sah, from the bottom of in}" old Virginia heart, sah. I felt all the time that you would not get left iu the shuffle sah. I know how you feel on the silvah question sah, and hope you'll find what you seek, sah, a postoffice by the hand of your Congressman, sah. I have no doubt sah, that youli intentions have been called into question sah, and the words you have spoken from the heart cast in youh face sah, by the disreputable jays of youh community sah—but youh best and safest plan is to chew glue, sah. Let the heathen rage and imagine a vain thing, sah. At times I have been compelled to chew glue myself, sah, and even to eat the blackest sort of crow, sah, and while it was not altogether to my taste, sah, and repugnant to all my finer feelings.sah, I closed my eyes and swallowed it like a full-blooded Virginia gentleman, sah. I can taste the infernal stuff yet, sah, but because I forget myself for the time being to become a servant of servants to the mad popu" lace, sah, I am now in the push, sah.

As you are well awah, I was a Cleveland man, sah. I saw in the Prophet of Buzzard's Bay our political Moses, sah. I called down anything but blessings on the head of Bryan and the whole free silver push, sah. I called them blockheads, fools, jays, hay seeds, and even anarchists, sah. Iu my rage for the gold standard sah, I even entertained in my Virginia home sah, that apostleof gold, Mistah Byuum. of youh own state, sah. The free silvah people were ready to hang me, sah, but now they recognize in me sah, the genuine old stuff, sah. You may wondah how I did it, sah. I presume in the same way you did sah. I went back on the whole business, sah. I changed my mind, sah. When the band wagon went by I slid down from my perch and climbed onto it sah. I forgot all about Cleveland in my zeai for the Boy Oratoh of the Platte, sah. I called the farmers my dear friends, and nevah referred to them as hay seeds any moh, sah.

To be sure I wanted to raise my voice foh Palmer and Buckner, sah, but it was business suicide to do it, so, I went forth to battle for Bryan and free silvah, 16 to 1 like Don Quixote went at the wind-mills on the plains, and with as sad results, sah. I supported a free silvah Republican for Congress sah, but they beat him into the bloody earth, sah, and another fellow got the postoffice that was promised to me. sah. I was knocked out, but not destroyed, I am an original 16-to-l silvah man still. You'd know it if you heard me talk. I am still riding down upon the ranks of the plutocrats with the same fire and vigor that Robert. E. Lee rode down upon the enemy at Malvern Hill. sah. To be sure they quote my old utteliances, sah, to show that I am insin cere in my present position, sail, but I tell them that what I said yesteliday don't count it is what I say to-day that means business, sah. I tell them that a wise man changes his mind but a fool neveh does, sail, and then they say to me. "Col. Swashbucklah according to that you are either a fool to-day or a liah yesteliday, sah." But at all such nasty flings I take another chew of glue, sah. The}' are hard for a Virginia gentleman to bear, sail,, but I do it for the sake of futuh emoluments and honahs. sah. In fact, sah, it wont do for a man to kick too hard against tin.' goads, sah. The silence of contempt, sah is the best answer to give to unwholesome truth, sah. In youah own experience you have no doubt found this to lie true, sah.

Discretion in this case my deah sah, is the best part of valah. You haye heard no doubt of the boy who was told if he kept his mouth shut people would'nt know he was a fool, sah. The great trouble with both you and myself, sah, is that we did not have that advice in 1895 and '96, sah. It would have saved us many a heart ache, sah, if we had waited to speak until the cat had jumped, sah. If we had not said so much, so soon, the dish of crow would not have deen so large as it was, sah. You did right, sah, when you come down from the tree, and crawled into the wagon, sah. I did it, sah. I changed my mind when I saw the star arise in the west, sah, and slipped my cable, sah. I may have to change my mind again, sah, but with the practice I now have I can do it moah gracefully than I did this time, sah. I hope you may be able to do the same sah. I will close now, as I have to go to Dickey's Bun to make a free silver speech to a lot of farmers who still thinK it is the only thing, sah. Foh the present I think so too, sah. Will write you again in a few days, sah.

Yours foh ati office,

COL. L. Q. C. L. SWASHBUCKLER.

A Young Boone County Town is

Fast Coming to the Front.

This paper has undertaken mutua relations with progressive business people and pursuant thereto we are at present busy looking after the towns that are fast

pushing

to the front

with new structures and active enterprises. Our aim is to give credit to whom credit is due and we are desirous to offer the reading public unsolicited notices of our up to date neighbors in their zeal to promote their business interests. No community thrives so surely as does that which is kept aliva by ambitious promoters who think and work together to the end that their town and its mercantile interests should hold its own as against the foreign inducements that tend to demoralize home trade and permanent growth. In times past, action aloug_ this line was not concerted as it now is, and each vear our neighlors are more fully awakening to a profound sense of duty and are consequently formulating ideas and plans productive of a booming tenor. Our attention has been called ta the growth now as in Advance a picturesque town of Boone county located along the line of the C. and S.

railroad nearly midway

between Ladoga and Lebanon, and within the most fertile territory in Indiana. Within the past year many decided improvements have taken place and the town has been enlarged by a goodly addition of building lots.

Pretty residences are numerous and new in appearance. It is almost impossible to rent a dwelling and since Christmas many new homes have gone up. The canning factory is the principal factor in the town's growth with its out put of 14 to 20 car loads per annum from a hundred acres of choice tomatoes that brought the farmer from $40 to $60 per acre. This enterprise furnishes employment to from 40 to 60 hands and its income is such that no stock is for sale. The plant is exclusively in the hands of home people who appreciate home trade and labor and who have persistently ignored invitations to join the death dealing trust. They are men of good business judgement and in a measure responsible for the present thrifty condition of their town of which they are justly proud.

Among the business men of Advance may be noted Daniel P. Keeney, restaurant, confections, cigars and tobacco. Wm. Joseph, late of New Ross, with a large stock of drugs and stationry. Lasly & Ford who have a large jewelry and repair store in the Golliday block. Chas.

McClaine is

in the grocery and general meachandise business. D. P. Thompson operates a fine livery stable and has first class outfits. Isaac Shelley, the butcher, furnishes a good quality of meat to the citizens of the town. Jas. Golliday is the owner of two business blocks and does butchering for the farmers. C. R. Miller is the village barber, John H. Sublette owns a drug store, puts up ice, manufactuies ice cream, operates a boarding house. R. S. Fulwider is the hotel man of Advance, and operates a lunch counter and restaurant. W. H. Smith deals iu furniture, paints, oils and wall paper. H. C. Yager, is in general blacksmithing business. The Ailes Bros, are dealers in hardware and implements, wagons, etc.. and are enlarging to get room. Sullivan A: Lee operate a general store, dealing heavily in dry goods, boots and shoes, etc. J. P. Servies operates a home like boarding house. Smith, Nelson S: Co. deal in dry goods, millinery, ladies'shoes, clothing, etc. Mr. Nelson has be--n at Advance for twentyeight year-.

Dr. A. II. Fynch has lately moved to Advance from .Jamestown. The doctor is a clever gentleman and has a good practice. Yager A: Martin are dealers in hardware and implements. They have sold two car loads of the latter this season. They also operate the elevator, buy and ship grain, grind corn and sell flour. The. tile factory operated by W. S. Welden is the oldest business in the town and works six to eight men during the summer, also a saw mill with four or five hands. The mill is about 20 years old, the present proprietor owning it for nine years.

Advance has fine schools, two churches, the Baptist and Christian, a large membership in the lodges, wide awake business men, pretty women, good country and Democratic. What's the matter with Advance, anyway? W. H.
