Energetic Etta.
PVOWN in Brown township where one would suppose the glimmer of the light of civilization had reached, school No. 1 is presided over by Miss Etta Chenault. The big calves attending No. 1, wanted a stick of candy, a peanut and au orange for Christmas, and being informed that Miss Etta would not respond, they locked her out of the school house. She appealed to the director who went down clothed in the majesty of the law, but the door refused to open. Miss Etta grew disgusted with the affair and procuring an ax from the wood house walked into the door and it was soon kindling wood. Every babe was in its seat \^uen the door fell, looking innocent. She called on authorities to come down and investigate. The only failure she made was her neglect to arm herself with a buggy whip or two and belabor those two-legged calves until they bawled.
Farmers' Institute.
0
XE of the best Farmers' Institutes in the history of the county was held here this week. The attendance was large aud the proceedings very interesting. The principal instructors were H. F. McMahan, of Franklin county, and H. Keim. Their addresses stamped them as men being duly qualified to instruct their fellow farmers in the work of the farm. Lack of space permits of a detailed account of the proceedings which were interesting and instructive throughout. While the attendance was large, there was room for more. And those who failed to attend are the loosers.

LEACH, State Gas Iuspetor, has made a report to the In
dianapolis council in which he says that the wells in tbe gas belt are rapidly playing out, aud while there may be enough produced for local consumption for sometime yet, the pipe lines will have to be abandoned. It is only a matter of a short time until the pi,.e line business will entirely fail. WTe have known here for sometime that the fate of Crawfordsville was sealed. It is with regret, however, that we go back to coal.

Advancing Rates.
ON
January 1 the railroads will widen the difference on freight carried by the car load aud less than a car load. The railroad trust needs money aud they are afraid to advance rates horizontally, so they make a stroke at the small dealers who are not organized and make them shoulder the burden by advancing rates on small shipments. It will squeeze many very hard.

Forced to the Wall.
/"\X Monday the old and well known dry goods firm of Myers Charni was forced to protect its creditors by making application to tbe court, and going into voluntary bankruptcy. They turned over their property, including $1,000 in cash. Their assets and liabilities are about equal, and the only losers will be the members of the firm, The cause of the embarrasment was too heavy stocking. In anticipation of a large trade which did not materalizc they stocked up heavily last spring and are carrying the goods still. This fall the same thing was done, and heavy competition, the mild weather and light sales in consequence caused the trouble. They were unwilling to jeopardize tteir creditors and so went into voluntary bankruptcy. The members of the firm are men who have the confidence of the public, aud everybody sympathizes with them. The store will not be closed and the hope is everywhere expressed that they may weather the storm and not lose heavily.
Henry Campbell has been appointed
assignee to take of the firm.
