Prizes Tor Items.
Highest of all in Leavening r^o er.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Tm2 JOURNAL still continues to offer each week handsome book to the person furnishing the best country letter or item. The contest is open to all and all are cordially invited to take part. Remember that but one prize is given each woek so if you do not win at lirst do not be discouraged as your time will come later on. THE JOURNAL COMPANY.
P. S. J. D. Thomas won the prize last week.
The correspondents of THE JOUKNAL should bear in mind that it is not always the best letter that receives the priz*. Occasionally some one itom of considerable importance is submitted which is justly of more weight and value than any of the letters. Accordingly the person furnishing this receives the prize.

It would have done our kind editor good to have been to the dinner the last clay of school at Lapland. He could have eaten enough good things to have lasted him a week.
There was a letter in last week's JOUKNAL headed "Hazel Valley," which gave the news of Lapland. Now every body wants to know where Hazel Valley is and the name of the writer.

Some of the folks of this place attended the funeral last Monday at New Market of James Graham. He was buried in the honors of war at the Masonic cemetery by the G. A. R. Post of Crawfordsville, which was right, as James Graham was a good soldier.
Possibly some of the readers of THE JOUKNAL would like to know where Lapland is, so I will try to tell you. Lapland is in one of the best townships in the county, old Scott. Scott township is one of the southern townships of
f88l
Baking
Montgomery county it has thirty-six square miles and is known as T. 17 N, R. -1 W, It is bounded on the north by Union township, on the east by Clark, on the south by Putnam, and on the west by Brown township. The soil is very black and rich and makes it one of the best farming townships in the county for both grain and grass. Lapland is situated on the Midland railroad and on the Crawfordsville and Parkersburg free gravel road, making it one of the best shipping points in the township, if the railroad would put in a switch. Lapland is one mile from the west side and five miles from the east side, two and three-fourths miles from the south side and three and one-fourth miles from the north side of the township, and has got some of the best, rich black soil around it of any place in the township, or even in the county.

The changing of the mail route to Crawfordsville instead of Thorntown has its advantages and disadvantages. Oak Grove hopes to profit by the change and send items more frequently.
The Franklin township Sunday school convention held in the church at Shannondale last Thursday "was up to the usual high standard. Rev. Powell and Mrs. John Hopper, of Darlington, Rev. Neal of Thorntown, and Rev. Engstrom of Lebanon, all handled their subjects in a most entertaining manner.
Asocial wave seems to have strusk Shannondale. The K. of P.'s gave one a few weeks ago, each member inviting imited number of friends, which was very enjoyable. However, the Odd Follows deserve the banner so far for the magnificent manner in which they entertained their families and friends Sat nrday evening. W. H. Leedy, of Indianapolis, was present and made an ex cellent speech. Daintv refreshments were served later. O. W. Holmes' witty description of the ladies' tea, "Giggle Gabble, Gobble and Grit," was most applicable to the occasion, although the latter part of it was not carried out until a late hour.

Where have all the quails and squirrels gone, is an every day question. They have been killed by the cold winters, wet weather and pot hunters. Of coure we cannot prevent the ravages of nature, but we can the pot hunter. So let us state right here that our farms are posted, and woe unto the pot hunter that we catch out here with gun or dog.
There seems to be a gret diversity of opinion in regard to the road question. Your correspondent cannot see why a gsod, well constructed road is not good enough for Montgomery county. It is useless to talk about McAdamized ronds whe we have not the material with which to build them. Why is it necessary to have two sets of officers for the purpose of keeping up the roads? Why cannot the township trustee and road supervisor see to the roads in their township, not only keep them up, but build them too? If our law makers were practical road makers, then we would have better road laws.
