Marital Trouble.

pvISAFFECTED partners are getting ready for the fall opening of court. Edna J. Mullikin complains of James B. that he has boasted of his adulterous performances at Indianapolis and is guilty of numbers of naughty tilings. They were married in 1880, and have a daughter fourteen years old. They reside near New Market.

The divorce fever has also broken out in colored circles, and William Arnold desires a separation from Julia, who has been his better half since 1887, He alleges tjiat his wife has become deeply enamored with a dusky Lothario named Ira Mitchell, who seems to have completely hoodooed the woman. Mrs. Arnold has declared her intention of living with Mitchell and her late husband desires to remove everything from her pathway so that she will have easy sledding to perdition.

Another Crusader.

A NOTHER Methodist minister has resigned the pastorate to enter on the work of the Soeial Crusade in Chicago. This time it is W. H. Wise, pastor of the College Avenue M. E. church, at Greeneastle. He will join Revs. J. S. Wilson, and J. H. Hollingsworth, in the city by the lake, as he says: "We will immerse ourselves in the lives of the people, and seek with others to give an answer to the 1 social problem that to-day confronts civilization.

The County Fair.

'TpHE time for the big couuty fair is just about here. There will be no joke about it this year. It will be the biggest in the state. Everything has been done that can be done to make the fair an attractive one this year and the people will appreciate the effort on the part of the officials. Come, everybody.

The Street Fair.

THE

Street Fair is a go. The com mittees have had a meeting and the reports indicate that there will be no trouble in making a big thing out of it this year. Just as soon as the coun ty fair is over a grand rush will be made on the street fair. It will be advertised in a manner to amaze the natives of some of the surrounding I towns. The soliciting committees will get to work at once and there will be a "time" in the old town in Octo ber.

County Superintendent.

Linden Bank.

NEW bank has been started at Linden. Home enterprise has shut out the foreign speculators and Linden will own the entire business. The following are the of ficers: C. Shobe, president W. H. Montgomery, vice president W L. Fraley, cashier J. H. White, book keeper W. H. Montgomery, Frank Simison, W. L. Fraley, J. H. White, H. C. Shobe, directors. The bank will begin operations in a very short time.

A Big Failure.

CHIC AGO dispatch has the fol lowing in regard to a former resident of Crawfordsville: "Lane Robertson, a contractor, filed a peti tion in bankruptcy in the United States district Court to-day, sc-hedul ing liabilities of $323,605, and assets nothing. Most of the indebtedndss was contracted about ten years ago in Kansas City, Ma."

Serious Accident.

Wednesday evening Mrs. Julia Armstrong, of near Mace, fell accidentally, and broke her hip. Two physicians were called and both declared their inability to set the fracture. On account of the lady's extreme age the bones if joined would never knit together. She is doomed to an invalid's bed the rest of her life.

Labor Day.

THELaborbooming

Day committees are still

at work the celebration for the Fourth of September. The prospects for a large crowd are flattering indeed. Lafayette has promised to send a special train and other cities will do as well. Great preparations are being made to entertain the crowd, and the city will be filled with people on that day.

A Bad Old Man.

THE

joint operated by Dora Stilwell was raided by the police and they gobbled the proprietress of the concern, an old fellow from the north part of the county, who was thei$ in company with a country girl. They were all fined and turned loose, and will doubtless repeat their performance.

A Curious Find.

A MONG the pile of old bricks taken from the old building on the Crawford corner a stange find was made the other day, and the boy who found the same carried it to a local archaeologist, where the following conversation took place:

BOY—(With discoveries for inspection:)—"I have made a rare find Prof." PROF.—"Let me examine it my son."

BOY—(Producing a small aged looking piece of parchment covered with characters:)—"I found this in the ruins of the theatre. I feel sure that it is a relic of rare value: probably printed in the days of Nero, and likely a playbill of the very entertainment in which the Lybian Slave, broke the neck of the- Andalusian bull in Nero's arena. have discovered that the "art preservative of arts" was invented before the days of Guttenberg. Handle the old folio carefully, Professor."

PROF.—(Examiningthe find through hisglasses:)—"Son, as an Antiquarian you're at least two thousand years out of date. It does indeed resemble a program of a primitive entertainment, even ante-dating the time of which you speak. From its ancient style aud poor execution one would think its date would reach back to Noah's invitation of the beasts into the Ark, but it is not so. Translate those words in the corner and 'we discover a later date, reaching down to the humbug era of the world. You will

see they read "The People's Favorite,"

Wedding In Clark.

the home of Dr. Mahorney. stepfather of the bride, on Wednesday evening, occurred the marriage of Lulu Harshbarger and Ezra Go shorn, of Marion, Ind.

Entries may be made for the county fair at any time at Schultz & Hulet's office.

Drake &. Wright have opened a new confectionery store on east Main street. They make a very creditable display.

Secretary Hulet has secured a rate of one fare for round triip on all railroads passing through this city during fair week.

You must not fail to see the waterproof photographs that never fade, can be washed and are so cheap, made only by the Willis Gallery.

One hundred and fifty tickets were sold here on Sunday for the Lake Maxinkuckee excursion over the Vandalia. The train was loaded down.

Wm. Allen, a brother of the late Stephen and Charles Allen, now a resident of Louisville, Ky., is here visiting with friends and renewing old time acquaintances. 'fade Casey aud son have been seeking a location for a brick yard. They visited Linden a few days ago with that object in view, and are very favorably impressed with the outlook.

The campieig party composed of Mrs. Harry Hanly, of Chicago, Mrs. Dumont Kennedy and E. A. Wilhite, which has been at the Wilhite cabin on Offield's creek, broke camp Monday.

Perhaps another prize fight may be sprung on us one of these fine days. It is reported that Jack Tierney, of Kokomo, and Frank Sanders, of Windfall have signed articles for a ten round fight to take place at Kokomo on Aug. 27. Kokomo may mean any place within a radius of fifty miles. Seventy-five dollars is the forfeit.

'The advertiser's mascot," "The time William R. Hornbaker, of the Chitried leader." These indicate the age

of shoddy, bombast and buncombe, not the stone, brass or bronze ages. From the best knowledge I have, I would pronounce this a program of a performance given in the arena of the modern Athens, and printed by the ghost of Guttenberg bossed by John Calvin's shade and assisted by Col. Hargitt on the outside of seventeen whisky straights. My boy, while you live in the last days of the nineteenth century, you must learn that there's many a thing which will cause a frost, and this is one of them.

Harry Swearingen is selling off his personal effects, preparatory to re moving to Colorado in search of a more healthful climate.

Howard O'Neall moved his family and personal effects to Crawfordsville Tuesday. Howard says it was a bigger job than running for office.

Yountsville will be depopulated Sunday on account of the Chicago excursion. Even the capital city harpist at Flat Rock park wont hold the people.

Andrew Thomspon has moved into the house vacated by B. Hay worth, who went to the soldier's home at Lafayette to run the restaurant. Thos. Swearengen moved into the house vacated by Thompson.

Stanley Pickett died on Wednesday with brain trouble. He was 16 years of age. He lived with his mother and step-father, Jacob Stonebraker. He was an exemplary young man, and liked by all who knew him.

We wonder if those sure thing tips which the Journal scribe gives us with great regularity have ever taken place? The majority of our young ladies are too young. Mamma would never give her consent. On the other hand, some are ineligible by age, having passed the age limit j'ears ago. As there have been no licenses issued, we couclude there have been no weddings in this vicinity. Tell us, sister, which horse will win at the couuty fair races. Perhaps you can guess better ou this.

The Ladies' Aid Society had full charge of Flat Rock park on Friday taking in the gate receipts and dispensing red lemonade to the thirsty brethren, who were indulging in the pleasures of the park. The proceeds will be sent to the far East to educate the heathen Chinee, as there are no widows in need in this vicinity. It seems that this society is divided in its opinion of the propriety of indulging in the worldly pleasures of Flat Rock, and the outcome is awaited with interest.

Veedersburg News: Will Townsley was "chief cook and bottle wasiter' in a parade from Kingman at tlie old settlers' meeting Thursday. Will held the pet coon until Gilmore's baby dog got after them, and the boys say there was fun then.
