The eccentric predilections of passing time in its choice of weather furnishes abundant material for conversation every time you meet your friends.

We are not a panegyrist to speak in praise of everything we see, but shall speak our estimation of the merits and demerits of a thing as we feel it. We are sorry we cannot speak of the late Academic Exhibition in terms wholly complimentary. Public opinion is generally correct in the main, and we but reiterate it -when we say that the present exhibition as compared with previous ones in intellectual worth was sadly deficient, and had it not been for the superior musical talent displayed, would have been a total failure. The slurring from the stage of one of our oldest and best citizens, a man who has done as much as any other to make the school a success, meets a proper and condemning disgust.

JOTTIKGS FROM ALAMO.
When
was the editor of the Retnew
converted to prohibition? Or when and where has the Democratic party ever voted for prohibition, or even a law regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors To my certain knowledge the editor of the Review has always been the advocate of "free whisky,'' and so has the Democratic party. We had a good and wholesome prohibitory law in the State of Indiana a few years ago. The Democracy fought it to the bitter end, and finally a Democratic Supreme Court decided it unconstitutional. 0, Bo wen!
O, Democracy! What a miraculous conversion! To change from free whisky in favor of prohibition all at once! Verily we live in an age of miracles. Paul's conversion does not equal this. But 0, Bowen! I tare read your hypocritical whine
about prohibition in the Review and I pronounce it very thin, so thin that the wolf can be seen clearly through it. Now, Charley, you know as well as I do that there are not a dozen Democrats in the county who are at liberty to shake off their party trammels and vote for an .out-and-out prohibitory law. You know that outside the Republican party there is not a corporal's guard of real live, consistent, temperance, men in the county. But you want to divide our strength at the approaching election. You will be old citizens and the Review will be an old paper before you will be able to defeat the only temperance party in the country by your hypocritical whinings.

CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL: DECEMBER 9. 1869.
AT
ASTI-I»BAM-SHOP MEETING ALA9IO. Notice having been given through the Crawfordsville Review, that James Michaels contemplated establishing a whisky saloon in our town, a meeting of our citizens was called by the officers and members of the Union Sunday School, to meet on Friday evening, November 29, 1869. In accordance with the call the Union Church was crowded to its utmost capacity.
On motion of Thomas Elmore Mr. N. W. Grimes was chosen President of the Meeting, and Joseph A. Gilkey Secretary.
The President, in a few brief and pertinent remarks, stated the object of the meeting, viz: To take measures to prevent, if possible, the setting up of a saloon in our midst.
On motion
Qt
mittee of three was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the people in regard to selling whisky in our village, whereupon, J. W. Copner, Dr. A. F. Henry and Captain William Marks were appointed said committee. During the absence of the committee stirring and enthusiastic speeches were made by Marion Cladfelter, Thomas Elmore, J. P. .Lungren, Abner Willis and others.
A committee consisting of John Riley, Phillip Sparks and Wesley Rountree was appointed to confer with Mr. Michaels, and, if possible, persuade him not to iuflict upon our community so nefarious a business.
J. W. Copner, Chairman on Resolutions, then made the following report
WHEREAS,
The citizens of Alamo
and vicinity have learned with pain and regret that application was made to our County Commissioners by one James Michaels to sell intoxicating liquors in our village, and
WHEREAS,
would be injurious to our town and surrounding country, thereby bringing poverty, wickedness, strife and untold sorrows among us, therefore
Resolved, That we the citizens of Alamo and Ripley township, regardless of age, sex or party, enter our solemn and unqualified protest against the undertaking, and pledge ourselves to use all lawful and honorable means to prevent the same, and to the accomplishment of this end we respectfully solicit, entreat and admonish him to desist, as his business would be fraught with the most terrible results. I
Resolved, That we are willing to assist, with our means or patronage, any one in our midst who is unable to gain a livelihood by any legitimate or honorable calling, but will ever discountenance, by all laudable means, any business that to protect it must be especially legislated for.
Resolved, That it is the duty of all good citizens to stand united and show no man countenance, either in trade or special intercourse, who will, in spite of our protest, sell ardent spirits in our midst.
Resolved, That we will withdraw all courtesies common among neighbors from those who shall disregard or set at defiance these resolutions.
Speeches were then made by Messrs. Copner, Marks, Elmore and others in favor of the resolutions, when, on motion, they were unanimously adopted. Mr. Michaels not being in town, the committee appointed to wait upon him could not report, whereupon meeting was adjourned to meet ^Tuesday evening, November 23.

tne following: 'f "i Resolved, That we the citizens of Alamo and vicinity, in mass convention, do hereby proclaim to all persons contemplating the villainous business of selling whisky in our midst, that we will have no intercourse, either directly or indirectly, with any one who will thus disregard our wishes, and that we will do all within our power, consistent with law and order, to make Alamo too hot to hold the man or men who shall attempt to establish a dram shop in our midst.
Resolved,* That to ,this end we pledge our mutual aid arid assistance. Captain Marks then offered a resolution to the same effect, when it and Mr. Copner's were both adopted with cheers and amens.

Coughs, Colds and Throat Diseases, no remedy equals
Barr's Pectoral Elixir.
In every community, where farily introduced, its sale soon becomes immense. The reason for this is obvious. It is because it will perform what it is claimed it will do. Our leading citizens, including Physicians, Ministers, Mechanics and Merchants, unconditionally endorse it as the best cough remedy within their knowledge. At home, where the "Elixir" is best known, its sales exceed all other remedies for diseases of the throat and lungs, combined. In obedience to custom,~tbe annexed testimonials are presented:
Opinion of the leading druggist ot Parke county, Indiana. ROCKVILLE, IND., March 30,1869.
I have been in the drug trade here for the last eight years have kept on sale all the popular lung remedies, but "Barr's Pectoral Elixir," since its introduction, has exceeded all, both in quantity sold and (general satisfaction. I hare used the Elixir in my family, and consider it a "Family Remedy," sure and reliable.
A. C. BATES.
BOWLING GREEK, IND., August 24,1867.
I have used "Barr's Pectoral Elixir" in my family, and can say that it is the best remedy for Coughs and Colds, especially for children, that I have ever used, and can recommend the same to all persons as a safe and reliable medicine.
ELIJAH ORMAN.
From the oldest and best known drug house in the State of Indiana: INDIANAPOLIS, May 12,1869.
We have been selling ''Barr's Pectoral Elixir" for some time, and take pleasure in recommending it, from the fact that it has given general satisfaction and we have never heard of a case in which it failed to give relief. BROWNING & SLOAN.
