FOR THE_CAMPAIGN.

The Crawi'ordsviile Journal Until Nov. 19 For 50 Cents. The political campaign of 1S92 is now on and THE CKAWFOHDSVILI.U JOUUNAI, proposes to take a hand in it. The family in America is inquiring into political questions for its own interests and when all people arc in an inquiring: and receptive mood the most effective agency for the good of the Republican party is the party newspaper. It excels all campaign documents it goes regularly to the home. The local party newspaper is the campaign strength of the party. Our county committee should bend its energy to extending tho circulation of the county party paper. Every Republican club should obtain lists of all doubtful voters, and should see that such voters are supplied with this party newspaper. Tim louH.vw, should be utilized lirst: the State paper should stand next, and the national papar come third. People believe most in the paper that is nearest to them, and is identified with their interests. One live, strong, well-edited, good-humored, wholesome Republican paper will do more good toward making Republican votes in a family than a hundred campaign documents.

In order to place TIIE JOURNAL Into as many Montgomery county homes as possible it will be sent from now until November 1'.) for the low sum of Fifty Cents.

Revisiting the Scenes of Eis Youth. Sidney Speed arrived last Monday from Joplin, Mo., and will visit relatives and friends here for a few days. Many of our older citizens will remember Mr. Speed. He was raised in this city and will doubtless find great pleasure in visiting the scenes of liie youth and viewing the old land marks which still remain to remind him of days that are past and gone.

Probably Fatal Accident.

Saturday as Jesse Routh, sr., who lives with his 6on John at New Ross, trying to drive uomo colts out of .the yard one ran over him, throwing him violently to the ground and breaking the femur bone just below the joint. Dr. Bronaugh was called and gave medical assistance. It is indeed a very distressing accident as he is very feeble and on account of the shock he received no hopes are entertained of his recovery.

Secured the Factory.

The Land and' Improvement Company met last week and had a consultation with James Alfrey, proprietor of the Dowel Pin Factory, of Green castle. The result was that for a proper consideration Mr. Alfrey consented to remove his property to this city and will locate at once on the' land east of the Yandalia track opposite the heading factory. The factory employs twenty hands and these will come with Mr. Alfrey to this city.

A Wholesale Slaughter.

The applicants for teachers license who appeared fit the last examination were sadly demoralized when graded. The manuscripts were reported to have been a very poor lot and only eight succeeded in making a passing grade. Two got license for 24 months, four for 12 months and two for 6 months. There were 39 examined, so tho showing made proves to "be an unusually poor one. The unfortunates can take courage, however, in the thought that, there will be several other examinations before the next term of school opens.

Large as a Man's Arm.

The Attica Ledger has the following to say of Alex Brookshire during his short sojourn there: "He liad fine household goods and a wad of money as large as a man's arm. He did not attempt to' conceal his idt ntity or act in the least frustrated. The family were here two days and during the stav gave it out that they expected to go on a farm located twenty-five miles from Iloxie. Since it was learned that Brookshire was here a number of letters of inquiry have been received from merchants at Crawfordsville who had advanced money to him.

Another Real Estate Deal. Mrs. J. M. Lane has sold a lot on Wabash avenue 75 feet front by 175 feet in depth, to John A. Gilbert, for §1,875, or $25 per front foot. The lot is a part of what is known as Elston Grove. There remains 82.j_ feet on the avenue still in the market which is owned by Mrs. Annie Taylor. It was through this lot that it was proposed to run Plum street, leaving to Mrs. Taylor 20 feet on one side of tho street and 12i feet on the other side. As tho project of opening Plum street is in a comatose condition the probabilities are that this lot will soon be sold and occupied by an elegant residence.

I)o Not Be Deceived.

Persons with weak lungs—those who are constantly catching cold—should wear an

ALLOCK'S POROUS PLASTER

over

the chest and another between the shoulder blades during cold weather. Remember they always strengthen and never weaken the part to which they are applied. Do not be deceived by imagining any other plaster like them— they are not—may look it, but looks deceive. Insist always on having

ALLOCK'S,

the only reliable plasLer ever made.

THEY FUSED.

Prohibitionists ana Peoples Party Followers Join Hands and Nominato a Ticket. There was joy in the small court room Saturday and nearly all cranks in Montgomery county, also. Tho Prohibitionists and Peoples Party voters met that morning aud skipped about the corridorB with grent ado. That afternoon their committee reported and the Peoples Party platform with a Prohibition plank was adopted. Dr.Griffith was in the chair, Dr. Etter was secretary. (The convention was a very sick one and- needed medical assistance.) Nominations wore declared in ordor and all were made by acclamation. In fact, it took the united eloquence of the convention to persuade most, of the candidates to accept the high honors heaped upon them and in several oases emphatic declinations were ruthlessly thrust down the throats of those protesting.

The convention did stick on tho nomination for prosecutor as Mr. Ballard was tho only lawyer present and ho emphatically dociined. You see, its about this way in Mr. Bal'lard's case. Ho i. the Prohib. candidate Mayor, and if he should accept the race for Prosecutor ami then be elected to both offices there would be a pretty howdedo. Those ladies from the Monon station and Goose Nibble would never consent to be tried by a Mayor who was also Prosecutor. The convention also experienced considerable difficulty in selecting suit able commissioners. In the 'first place they didn't know what districts elected this fall, and then when they found out they had to hustle to learn of persons Jiving in suitable positions. After much bungling and ridiculous red tape and monkey business the following ticket was selected:

Representative, A. P. IIANNA. For Clerk,

SAM H. FLANNIGAN, For Trortsurer, NATHANIEL

yi'ICK.

For Sheriff.

NOAll FLANNKiAN. For Recorder, W. P. (3ILL.

For Surveyor. W. L. ANDEKr-ON. For Assessor,

L. E. HOWEKS.

Commissioner, First District, SIMEON CLOKE. Commissioner, Second District.

JAMES WILSON.

It was urged that Henry Thornburg take this hitter nomination, but tliat gentleman arose ana said that although he had been "notorious all his life, he thanked God he had never fallen low enough to run for office. The convention adjourned after endorsing Rev. Lawhon, of Ladoga, for Congress. All in all, it was a convention calculated to encourage the growth and popularity of suicide clubs.

WILL MANUFACTURE WIRE 3

The Indiana Wire Fence Oomprny to Make Extensive Improvements. O. M. Gregg and C. M. Crawford left for Anderson on April 22 to investi gate the manufacture of wire as con ducted at that place. As soon as they have made a thorough investigation they will return and report to the Indiana Wire Fence Company. This company is going to enlarge its plant for the manufacture of wire and will do a large business. The enlargement will be an extensive one and it will not only manufacture wire for its own' consumption but considerably more, entering the business on a heavy scale. Of course, a large number of hands will have to be added to the present force and the city will be greatly benefitted thereby.

Spence is Thankful.

John Spence, of Spence''s Peoples Paper, thus returns thanks to Charley Berry for a couple of shovel handles.

Last Tuesday Charley Berrv sent us oyer a couple of sample shovel handles, his own make, which for superiority of finish, strength and toughness could not be beat in any factory in the Union. We are glad to know that our printer friend is such an adept, but again are not surprised when we take into consideration th:it ho spent five tho best years of his life in Michigan City in a handle factory, and during that" time was not bothered by loafers or prying eyes on account of a high fence "that surrounded the enclosure.

For Treasurer.

olm B. Rice is announced in to-day's JOURNAL as a candidate for Treasurer of Montgomery county before the Republican convention to be held on May 7. Mr. Rice is a young man of most excellent abilities and has had large experience in clerical work. He is a man of unquestioned integrity and is popular with all classes of people. During A. F. Ramsey's time as Treasurer he was the deputy in the office and since then has been employed as bookkeeper in the Citizens' National Bank. Should the convention give him the nomination he will be a tower of strength to the ticket.

oJ "We May Look for the Same Result. A special to the Indianapolis Sentinel from Columbus, Ind., says:

This city owns the electric light plant which has been in successful operation for nearly three yeara. The city clerk's report will show that the cost per light for the year will not be to qxceed 830. Under the contract system the citv paid 874 a year per light. *^0" it*

ALEX TS BACK.

He Suddenly Reappears in This County With His Bag and Baggago. Alex Brookshire, whose eccentric departure from this county not long since caused such a hubbub has reappeared as suddenly and mysteriously as he went.

On April 22 about sundown, ho arrived in Darlington driving two teams loaded with his household good. He put up at the livery stable and was still there next morning. Ho gave no one any intimation of what he intended to do, or how long ho intended to stay. Alex is certainly getting up his reputation for peculiarity, and if he keeps on the result

11111

be a commission of lun

acy. He stated at Attica that he was off for Hoxie, Ark., and now bobs up as serenely as you please within a few miles of hiB old home. Alex nnce said that ii man to succeed had to get himself well advertised and ho has taken tho right course to get it.

A communication from Now Ross states that Mr. Alex Brookshire passed through there last Saturday on his way to Ladoga. He was the object of as much attention as the prodigal son was.

Alex. Brookshire came in from Ladoga last Monday as bright and smiling us a red, red rose. Alex, sat on the court house corner for awhile and then walked ov to the Citizens' National bank and took up the note for $C00 which Yory had indorsed, and another for $200 which Zach Mahorne.y had secured. Alex, said he did not owe but $900 when he left,* but this is not correct. He probably forgot a few outstanding notes.

Nearly Killed "Nig."

"Nig" Seering lies in the jail at Covington with his head cracked and frightful bruises all over his person. Ever since he was taken from the Crawfordsville jail to Covington, the young man has been giving the Sheriff all the trouble he could. He would throw the dishes through the bars at the Sheriff's young chickens and killed several. He tore up his blanket and-making a rope lassoed the little children that were playing "Skip-tum-a-loo" on the sidewalk and deported himself after the manner of the heathen generally. Yesterday he put up a job to assassinate Deputy Sheriff Lum Zimmerman and for this purpose ho secured a heavy iron bar and concealed it in his cell. "Nig" ,is a great talker however, and disclosed his intentions to a fellow prisoner. Zimmerman happened being in the basement and hearing the conversation wont up and strode at once into the cells. "Nig" struck at him viciously with the iron bar but Zimmerman who was on the alert dodged and then before "Nig" Jould raily closed with him. Zimmerman is a powerful fellow and pounded the youth fearfully. When released, however, ''Nig" again rushed at him and Zimmerman cracked his head laying him out senseless on the floor. "Nig" now has his head done up in vinegar and brown paper and will be unable to receive his friends for a few days. 4

A. O. Penniman officiating. About forty relatives and immediate friends of the bride and groom were present to witness the pleasing ceremony and enjoy the excellent repast spread in honor of the occasion. Miss Carrie is one of Garnett's most popular young ladies and enjoys the highest respect of all who know her. He husband is almost a stranger in this city but bears a good name as an upright young man in Topeka, his homo, to which city he took his bride tins week to go to housekeeping. The Eoyle washes Mr. and Mrs. Anderson a life replete with happiness. —Garaelt (Kan.) Eagle.

An Entertaining Service.

Tho Baptist church was crowded on Sunday morning to its utmost capacity and there were present Montgomery and Crawfordsville lodges I. O. O. F. and the order of the Daughters of Rebekah. The orders were in full regalia and presented a fine spectacle. The room had been tastefully decorated- for the occasion and tho music rendered was exceedingly fine. Rev. G. P. Fuson delivered the sermon which was a monBter effort in every

Bense

of the word and

attracted the closest attention of the vast audience. While the sermon was addressed particularly to the orders present its lesson could nevertheless be taken by all and it was as instructive as it was entertaining. 0 *•£'$».

Another Surprise.

Forty two friends of George Connard living near Balhinch, surprised him on Sunday, it being his forty-second birthday. George was decoyed away from home to see a piece of pasture and during his absence the folks took possession of the house, bringing plenty of the finest edibles the land affords. George was completely dazed on his return but recovered sufficiently to partake of the dinner. It was a very joyous occasion and will long be remembered by all who were there.

DEATH OF AUNT OASSY.

Our Colored Centeuarian Dies Quietly On Saturday Evening of Old Age. Aunt Cassy Ketcham, who would havo been 102 years old had she lived until next October, died quietly of old ago about five o'clock Saturday evening at the residenco of Xack Williams, on east Wabash avenue. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock and was attended by a largo concourse of tho deceased's friends, both white and black. After sorvices at the residence the remains were laid away to tho final reBt at Oak Hill Cemetery.

All of our older citizens and most of our younger ones knew old Aunt Cassy. She was a full blooded negress but having been associated all her life in tlie homes of oducated and refined people as house servant and nurse, BIIO spoke pure English and was a most entertaining conversationalist. For the last few years of her life she lived with Zack Williams who provided for her admirably and gave her "very comfort necessary. Aunt Cassy was brought hero by the father of Gen. Richard Canby, whoso tragic death at tho hands of tho bloody Indian chief, Capt. Jack, precipitated the groat Mococ war. Aunt Cassy was Cauby's nurse and up to tho time of her death revered his memory

always kind to her and she loved him as a child of her own. Aunt Cassy had papers which established tho question of her age beyond doubt aud gave credence to the story of her life, which she gave Tins

JOURNAL

MiBS

about one year

ago. The 6tory, which is an entertaining one, is as follows: "I was born a slave in Prince George county, Maryland, on October 13, 1790. I knew very little of my parents, my mother, dying while I was a baby and my father living on a distant plantation and the property of a man named John Allen. I remember of seeing him only once or twice, but remember my pister and two brothers quite well. I was owned in Maryland by Miss Nancy Spriggs. She was an old maid and very rich, owning hundreds of colored folks. As my mother was dead I was placed with an old mammy, .who took care of the orphans, and was allowed to play all I wanted to. One night I iiwoke aud found the quarters on fire. There was a row half a mile long burned down, but God spared all us little children that time. When tho quarters burned

Nancy took me for 11 house

girl to the mansion. There I learnod to knit and carry cool water to tho ladies as they sat on the verandas in the warm sunny afternoons. The work was easy and I played most of the time.

MiBS

Nancy would entertain elegant folks from Washington and would go there herself sometimes. When she came back she would come toting a whole parcel of Jerusalem apples (tomatoes) and other truck. She liked to bring things home from Washington even though she could get them right at home. I can't remember so much about my life in Maryland because children in thoso^ day§ were not like the children now.' No one told them anything and they were not allowed to ask questions. What I remember best is the fruit, tho strawberries and peaches which wore finer than I havo ever

Been

Bister

since. I

never saw General Washington but Miss Nancy used to drink to him and all the ladies bow and smile. I remember the war, too, and how one warm afternoon the soldiers with red coats and white breeches, went marching by on the dusty road from Bladensburg, looking tired and worn. Folks all laughed and said they had to go back because they were whipped, but the night before they didn't talk that way. They were all scared and didn't laugh until they heard the men in tho red coats had been whipped in the dark at Bladensburg. Then everyone joked and laughed loudly tit the soldiers r^s they hurried back to the sea. The men in red coats did nothing but hurried on and I have not seen them since, and I reckon they are all dead now.

Miss

Nancy was mighty

good to us and would never sell anyone. She rented a man named Tom once, though, to Jcihn Mercy and when he came homo he was wearing a tow shirt. Miss Nancy saw him across the yard and in her wide hooped dress she stood on tho veranda and shook her fan at him saying, 'T0111, Tom, go to tho quarters aud put some clothes on don't go dressed like that.' Then Miss Nancy talked about trifling John Mercy, who whipped his folks and gave them tow shirts to wear until her black

eyeB

shone

like beads. Those were happy days. But one day Miss Nancy died and all the black folks were weeping around while the relatives buried her and came back to divide the property. Dr. Canby was Miss Nancy's young cousin and I was given to him as he was going to Kentucky. The night before we left my father came over from Allen's plantation and I told him and my brothers and

good bye. I never heard

one word from any of them afterwards and reckon they are all dead by this time. We made the trip fjom Maryland to Boone county, Kentucky, in wagons and the journey was a long one, through the woods and down the Ohio river. In Boone county I had a good time always and married twice, once to John Griffin and'last to Andy Ketcham. Dr. Canby finally removed to Madison, Indiana, and took Andy and me with him. We lived there some time and one day General Jackson, who had recently been made President, passed through on his way to Washington from New Or-

leans. He visited Dr. Canby and ap

pointed him land agont at Crawfordsville, to succeed Mr. Whitlock, the Whig. Wo came in wagons and again had to go through the woods. Wo made our last stop at Jimtown. There was only otio house there then, owned by a blacksmith named Wick. Crawfordsville was a very small town thon and Dr. Ctuiby was a great man in it. His house stood where tho central school building is now and the present school yard was his door varcl. llo build a big house with iO rooms in it and the folks called it "Canby's Folly." The Doctor was married twice and had nine children. Dick Canby, who was killed by tho Indians, was tho best one of all. I remember so well when ho was born, and I nursed him wlr.le I10 WUB a baby. Many a night I sat up with him and nursed him and ho was always good to 1110.

He was smart and hot headed and 1 remember once he had a

fusB

with his

school teacher. In tho morning when school time came the doctor said, 'Richard, it is time for you to go to school.* Dick replied, '1 am not going any more.' 'Tut, tut, tut,' cried the Doctor, 'pick up your books and off with you, young sir!" Dick did it and after that got along with his books and teacher. He finally wont off by tho stago to West Point and after that I saw but littlo him. finally bought the lot where George Hurley now lives from Dr. Canby, and lived in my house many years. My last child, Kitty, married Henry Wilson, and he died of tho small pox. Then at length Kittio died too, and I sold out to Mr. Hurley. For the last 16 years I have lived hero waiting for the call of the good Master. I'm a Methodist and leave mv future to the Lord. Ho has always been kind to me and although I lived in bondage I wae freer and happier than many who had masters.. Happier, I'm sure, than all who were not servants of tho Lord. I do not want to die but I am ready to go when the great Taskmaster says 'wel! done.'

Surprised.

Perhaps tho most "•u'uorccting event in a man's life is the jum' «4on ho attains his majority, when the responsibilities of citizenship was taken up. That occasion a memorable ono in the life of W. A. Swank, class of '9*1, Wabash college. Saturday evening was the time chosen by his friends to show their good will and they assembled to the number of about eighty-four at the home of his father, Jabob Swank, north west of the city. Will was assisted in receiving his friends by his sister, Miss Nora, and his parents. Refreshments of ice croam, cake and bananas were served but a very important part of tho. evening's pleasure was the presentation, in a few preparatory words by his classmate, F. M. Shanklin, of an elegant gold watch and chain, a surprise planned by his mother, a gold ring from Miss Nora Swank, a set of MaCauloy's England from W. Y. and Frank Hutchings, a hand-knit tie from Miss JesBie McCabe, of Chill mors, and a gold tooth pick from Miss Carrio Cowan. Will was most completely surprised but replied in a neat speech. The guests departed at a late hour. Those present were:

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tho last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
