THE COLUMBIAN YEAR.

To-day we change the dates on our letters, form scores of new resolutions, and. for the day, live not at all in the present. Our thoughts are both retrospective and prospective in character and if wo are natural and rational beings we pass th. day rather in thought than in action.

As to thoughts retrospective no matter what may have been our individual cares and calamities the past year was a decidedly anu emphatically a glorious year. We as men may have met the keenest disappointments in business, in ambition, in love or vhat not but it has gone well with the woi Id and particularly with these United States. In reviewing the character of tli6 year, we look not on private joys or sorrows, but on those of the race. Our national sorrows have been few, indeed, and are trivial insignificant, nothing when com^Vueu to our national bleseings. No need to enumerate the latter. Their name is legion and they comfort us on every hand. The good old year of '91 was a glorous year truly.

As to thoughts prospective: "What of the year to come? Now then is the time to think of self. What are we as individuals going to do to make the great Columbian year as illustrious as the year which went before it? Only by individual effort is it that the world is pushed along. We have our duties to perform as citizens and our duties to perform as men. Let UB perform them all fearlessly and faithfully beginning with the one which lies nearest us. As citizens we have our political duties to perform and to our own consciences must we render an account of our stewardship. This is the year of a great presidential campaign. Let us read, investigate, think in an unbiased, unprejudiced way that our nation may stand broad based upon her people's will and if not encompassed by the inviolate sea, yet nevertheless encompassed by inviolate principles which like the sea roll on forever. As men let us be more considerate in our estimates of other men, more urbane in deport ment, more guarded in speech, more charitable in deed than we have been in the past. We can all stand these things without bringing in the millennial with a crash. No man lives unto himself and humble though he may be he may be highly instrumental in teaching to men the power of truth, in proving to the nations that their Redeemer liveth. The stone which the builders rejected became the head o[ the corner.

Will Stand by its Colors.

A report has been in circulation for the last day or so to the effect that tho Crawfordsville Water and Light Company would remove its electric light plant from this city in consequence of the opposition and competition it has received from the municipal government. Supt. Horner states that the report is absolutely groundless. He says the company will stay here and what'is moro expects to hold its own.

The Crawforchvilie A. M. E. Church Incensed at the Removal of Rev. Tucker Wilsou.

The colored Methodist church is very greatly agitated just at present and from present indications it looks very much as though it would withdraw from the colored conference and establish itself independently. The membership has ifs yet held no meeting to take formal action in the matter but the leaders are earnestly advocating tlio step and some definite action will bo taken shortly. Tlio church seems to have considerable ground for complaint and

110

one need be surprised if it acts

in rathor a revolutionary manner. At the last conference Rev. Tucker Wilson, a recent graduate of DePauw University, and one of tho leading young colored ministers in Indiana, was sent hero by Bishop Browne to succeed Elder Coleman. Now the Crawfordsville colored Methodist church is not to be sneezed at, we would have you to understand. It is one of the most desirable appointments in the colored conference and a plum devoutly to be wished for. The church edifice is neat and now, the membership large and the work comparatively easy. Rev. Tucker Wilson had the bars lot down into a regular clover field and certainly cannot complain of his treatment while here. He received every attention, was petted by his flock and during his two months stay was paid $235 in the cold hard coin of the realm. That was a pretty fair take and Miss Lucy Patterson collected over §100 of it in ten cent subscriptions. The sum paid brother Wilson amounted to more than his two months services, perhaps, but he took it all with him when he suddenly left for

Evansville, having persuaded Bishop Browne to send him to the Evansville church which is the best in the State. This stirred the Crawfordsville flock up amazingly as they had made Mr. Wilson's walk here a primrose path. They expected him to do a great work here this wintei and r.iiso the church debt, but instead he left them at a Diost critical time and that too, after increasing rather than deminishing the clmrcil debt. Bishop Browne is being beautifully roasted to a color suggestive of his name and Rev. Tucker Wilson is in decidedly bad odor. The church declares thiit it will not receive another appointed minister but will go right along without one until the church debt is entirely paid off. They have received offers of help it is said from the white churches. Developments are being awaited with interest as the church does not intend to put up with any foolishness or monkey business.

Montgomery County Examination. The following special from Craw fordsyille to the Indianapolis News iB rather entertaining:

The rigidity with which tho papers of the applicants for teachers' license are being marked by Superintendent Zuck, is causing much comment and not a little dismay. The teachers in Montgomery county are really much above the average as to qualification, but while in most of the other counties the per cent, of those passing successful examinations is remarkably large, in Montgomery county the number is remarkably small. Tho usual number on examination is about forty, and less than twenty of these applicants succeed in obtaining twelve months' license. It is rare, indeed that a twenty-four months' license is granted, anu three yoars' licenses aro as scarce as hen's tooth. At the last examination immediately subsequent to the Thanksgiving institute, of those attempting the examination not one succeeded in obtaining even a six months' liconse. The result was proclaimed last Saturday and a howl has gone up from the applicants, which for intensity has never been equaled in this section "of the State. !(,

The Committee on Instruction. The committee on instruction of Wabash College met Tuesday afternoon and this morning and discussed matters of importance, but took no action that could bo dished up as nows. Dr. Kane loft this afternoon for Lafayette and at the station while waiting for a lato train expressed somo viaws on collego matters. As to co-education he was of the opinion that tho young ladies would bo properly provided for but ho hardly expected it would be sooner than "J3. The trustees are looking for some money from those especially interested in coeducation, but it will hardly bo available in time for use by next Fall. As to college athleticB Dr. Kane expressed himself strongly in favor of more supervision by the faculties over the intercollegiate games. The finance committee of which Dr. Kane is also a member, had a meeting in which routine business was transacted.

ff. H. Rhorer's Funeral.

Wm. H. Rhorer who died at Darlington Tuesday morning was ono or tho best citizens of that place. Ho has been a resident of Darlington for about twenty years and by strict attention to his own business had accumulated a comfortable competence. He was highly esteemed by tho entire community and his death will make a loss that will bo greatly felt. Tho funeral services were held to-day, all the ministers of tho town participating in tho exercises. He was buried at the Odd Fellows ceni etery under the auspices of Glenn Lodce of whieh he was an honored member.

DISTRESS A 110:iG US,

A Sample Oase of the Suffering Wluch Can Be Pound

I11

Great Abuutiauco. Right

Here. .1. If the people of Crawfordsville only know of the distress which can lie found at their very doors, of the innumerable eases of mental and physical suffering, of which even the doctors never learn, we doubt not that many moro of us would be abroad dispensing charity than are at present. A gentleman who takes no little interest and pleasure in seeking out and relieving those suffering from sickness and want relates to us many strange things which could hardly be credited except coming from the source they do. In the northwest and southeast sections of tho city there are numerous families actually suffering for the necessaries of life. In some cases tho people aro too sensitive to appeal for aid to the trustee and suffer uncomplainingly the groatest privations. They do not refuse aid when it is offered them, but their natures revolt from the idea of begging. One case which came under tho notice of our informant during the past few days is one of peculiar sadness and distress. It is the caso of a

Mrs. Myers living in tho south end just beyond the city limits. Sho is sick in bed and has around her, dependent upon her efforts for support four or five innocent children of very tender years. Several months ago sho came to tho house she now occupies with her husband, her sister and the children. Every thing was moving en well until one morning her husband elopod with her sister, taking all the family's ready money and converting into cash all salable property. Neither of those bad people have since been heard from. Mrs. Myers had one daughter who was considerably older than the other ohildren, and with her assistance she managed to strugglo on through in poor health, and eke out a livlihood for tho helpless infants. The daughter, her only mainstay, proved more recreant than tho father had done. Not many days since she married and went away, leaving her mother sick in bed with her helpless little ones crying for broad. Such a tiling may seem incredible, but it is given £|s the whole truth and is but one of a numtvr of cases just as harrowing. Some of Craw'wlsyjHe's lest ladies and gentlemen are doing a noi?'0 work in relieving want and distress,

of us could do the same with littlo'u.r no inconvenience. The fact that the winter is mild does not put broad in hungry mouths.

Out Of Whole Oloth.

The following telegram from Crawfordsville is going the roundB of the press of the country. There is of course nothing whatever in the report which reads: "An accident happened to S. K. Powell Friday night as he was going home from the house of his brother Thomas with a gun. About 40 rods from home he started to climb over a rail fence when the rail turned, throwing him to the ground, discharging tho gun and shooting him in the chest, tho load ranging downward and out near the hip. Evidences showed that he had struggled with death in an awful form unattended. He had Blowly bled to death. His wife became uneasy, and at 3 o'clock wenf to his brother's, when search was instituted. The unfortunate man was found at 1 o'clock Saturday morning dead."

How such a report over got started is a mystery, but some few have ventured to suggest that the famous Goshen correspondent has boon with us lately.

A Slnr on the Neighborhood. Geo. W. Hall has insulted the aristocratic neighborhood around tho Monon station. He received a car load of coal Wednesday and insisted that it be locked up in the freight house, instead of being loft on tho track over night. Yory naturally the good people are much hurt over this anil take tho matter greatly to heart. It was an open insult to tho neighborhood and an insinuation that some of tho people living around the station would steal. Such an idea is highly improper, as it is a well known fact that cars loaded with hugo and valuable blocks of Bedford stone have stood on the track at tho station for days without a single block over having been purloined. Bishop Hop Comer wlio presides over that Diocose is much incensed.

The Little Town of Wingate. One of the most prosperous and wide awake town% in Montgomery county is Wingate. Until a few years ago it was at a stand still and the outlook for its future was not at all promising. An east and west railroad was finally built and struck the town. From that time its progress has been onward and upward. From a straggling village of a few tumble down houses it has grown to a vigorous and vivacious town. It has arv goods stores, grocery stores, hardware stores, drug Btores and shops of various kinds, all conducted by snappy and energetic yrung men. Besides it lias a large grain elevator, a tile mill and various other industries that go to make up alive community. A bank has just boon organized with a capital Btock of S'25,000. A new building for its ocoupanC^ in process of erection. This will be corupf^d in a few weeks and the bank expeciiHo open for businees about the first of Feb^r7- The enterprising citizens are no^ figuring for the erection of a mill with .'."^capacity of fifty barrels a day. A gentlt^Pan Decatur, was there the other day looJf ing over the ground with a view to its erection. Like all ambitious young towns it has a well conducted weekly newspaper, the Wingate Graphic. The merchants are extending to it a liberal patronage which insures its
