cepted the offer at once. Pleasant Hill of Lodge did so with great reluctance and still complains. We now ask who was the party to decide this matter Pleasant Hill Lodge or the Trustees of the church to whom the hall belongs? The

Trustees having decided that the Lodges should pay rent the matter ought to rest, While it may be true that the temperance societies are worth much to the church, yet this value cannot be computed in dollars and cents. Every society, like an individual, should bear its proportion of burden whatever it may be. The church in its collective capacity has its curre.it expenses to meet. The members of the church in th™ir individual capacity are called upon to contribute of their means to defray these exexpenses. The temperance societies, as co-laborers with the members of the

church, should uncomplainingly assist, and should not expect something for nothing.

The receipts were llro. .'smith took charge of $20 of the money, and alter reaching his home a thief entered the back door of his house, slipped the pants from under his head, where he had placed them on retiring, and took the $20, besides $21 belonging to Smith. The tliiof then went to Ed Brewer's, entered at the kitchen door, proceeded to his bed-room ami took his pants which were hanging on the bed-post ami slid out.

Hut ".V I*ariner," which in my opinion is no farmer, wants to know why it is that so many merchants "break up." Now it is a generally understood fact that nine-tenths of those who engage in business fail sooner or later—not because they ilo not understand the business that they are engaged in. A great many farmers' sons who are too lazy to work,

fancy themselves fit in every rcspcct to conduct some kind of mercantile business and enter upon it with little or no capital of their own. Thev dress fine, drink fine liquors, smoke line cigars and the const? quence is they fail. Mr. "Farmer'' is not a man of observation or he never would have asked so foolish a question, bet him refresh his memory in regartl to the failures in Crawfordsville during the past twenty years and it will save him the trouble ol asking needless questions. On the other hand he has not observed that a great many farmers have "failed'' for the same reason that the merchant has failed, but farmers as a class if they wi re half as extravigant as tbe business men of the country, they would nearly
