Mr. Faris Greeted With An Kieguvt Crowd —A Housing Meeting.

Special to The Journal. DARLINGTON, Oct. 17.—Quite a number of our citizens went to the 8:30 train yesterday morning to meet and escort up town G. \V. Faris, our candidate for Congress in this district. When the train pulled in we found Faris accompanied by Thomas J. Moore, our candidate for Joint Representative. Both were escorted up town the forenoon was spent in shaking hands and making acquaintances. After dinner F. W. Campbell and S. S. Martin accompanied the two gentlemen to old Bethel church in Sugar Creek township, where they were tilled for a speech, making the drive in a carriage over beautiful roads and one of the finest countries in the world.

VOL. 52—NO. 42 CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1894.-TWELYE PAGES PART FIRST

Arriving at the church at 2 o'clock p. m. we found a good crowd in waiting, led by that old wheelliorse, John Mitchel, Esq. The meeting was called to order by M. 15. Waugh, who introduced Mr. Faris, who for a little over an hour talked to those farmers in a plain, practical way so that all could understand, explaining the tariff and free wool question, why it was they were getting 12 cents per pound for their wool. §25 for good horses and so on down the list. Mr. Moore was then introduced and spoke for some time on our State politics, especially the I financially policy as administered by the Democrats. Both gentlemen left a good impression on those Sugar Creekers, evinced by the fact that a goodly number came to Darlington the same evening to hear them again and those that could crowded their way into Hulet's Hall and were amply paid for their trip. The drive in the evening back to town, the supper and the rest afterward had so refreshed

Mr. Faris that when°George Gonser introduced him to the sea of upturned faces that greeted him here in the evening he was in good trim for the exposition that he gave the Democratic party. lie, in a mild, forcible manner. explained and showed up the fallacies of the said party commencing back with the protective ideas of Andrew Jackson and closing with the letter of President Cleveland on the late Wilson bill. His speech throughout was one of sound reasoning appealing to the good sense of his hearers and not their prejudices

0th of November when we will rest and await the announcing of one of the grandest victories ever achieved in *tlie State.

New Signals.

Several roads, the Monon being of the number, have adopted on their train schedules, and will on their time tables, as published, use the Corbitt & Burnham black and white system, patents for %vhich are pending. The advantage of this method in the operating departments of railroads cannot be over-estimated, and it will be highly appreciated by the patrons"of the road. By this device day trains on the train schedules and on the time tables are indicated by a black letter on a white ground, and for night trains a white letter with black ground work. At a glance the eye designates the one from the other. It presents all the advantages of the twenty-four system while designating the hours by numerals already in use.

To Make Good Streets.

To the Editor .Journal. Would it not be good policy for the city to provide a good stone pile for the coining winter for the employment of our idle men that we are in the habit of keeping by our charity institutions? Pay them by due bills to grocers and merchants. Urge our Council to do something in this way for the poor. SUHSCIUHKH.

CO. K. 86th INDIANA.

A Keunion of tlie Ki'immnt lit .James Harrington'* Wednesday.

The members of Co. K, 80th Indiana, living in this vicinity together with a few invited friends met at the home of James Harrington, five miles southwest of ohere Wednesday, where the day was spent in talking over the times of thirty years ago. It was a typical October day which contributed largely to the pleasure of the occasion. The boys, who have now grown gray, were mostly accompanied by their wives, and altogether it was a most enjoyable reunion. At 12:30 dinner was announced. Requisition had been made on the field, garden and larder for their richest viands. It was just such a spread as an old soldier enjoys. The host and hostess came in for a shower of compliments for the lavisliness of their hospitality. After dinner

Rev. G. P. Fuson called the assemblage to order and after recounting some of the hardships of a soldier's life he, on behalf of the comrades of Mr. Harrington, presented him a gold headed cane, and to Mrs. Harrington a set of silver knives, forks and spoons. A package, the contents of which were not known, was also presented to the hostess by Mrs. James Williams, of Mace. The company was then photographed in a group by Nicholson. These little reunions of those who "drank from the same canteen" are but the links that bind the ties of comradeship firmer and more firmly as the years come and go.

Mrs. Esther Stout died at her home on West Market street, Oct. 10. Her death ended a long and useful career. She was born in Genesee county, N. Y., Oct. 4, 1810. When she was seven years of age her mother died leaving lier and two brothers to t. care of her father. In a few years she moved to Connersville, Ohio. There she was married to Wilson Stout in 1830, with whom she lived until his death, March 4, 1892, at the age of nearly K5. To them were born nine children all of whom are living. Their grand children number thirty living and ten dead, and also nineteen great grand children. The following are the names of her children, grand children and great grand children: Thomas Stout, Joel Stout, Mrs. John Switzer, John Stout, Mrs. Jacob Swank, Mrs. Wm. Remley, Benj. Stout, Mrs. P.G. Cowan, Mrs. Wesley Snyder. Grand children: Vol Stout, Frank Stout, George Stout, Dan Stout, John Remley, Benton Switzer, Oscar Stout, Mrs. Wilson Zook, Mrs. James Quick, W. A. Swank, Mrs. Daniel Remley, Wm. Stout, Clayton Remley, J. F. Stout, Harry Stout, Bert Stout, Alvin Stout, Frank Remley, Grace Remley, Minnie Stout, Ota Snyder, Flossie Snyder, Frank Cowan, Corey Cowan, Lula Stout, Elsie Stout, Clara Stout, James Stout and Charles Stout. The great grand children are: Era C. Swank, Maud Stout, Merl Stout,

Iva Stout, Earnest Stout, Addie Stout, Gladys Stout, Floyd Stout, Mamie Stout Delbert Stout. Bessie Stout, Ollie Remley, Ethel Remley, Vera Quick, Ethel Quick, Nina Quick, Myrtle Zook, and Walter Stout.

Mrs. Stout joined the Methodist church at a very early day and has been a familiar figure in church work in her old neieborhood ever since. The Bible was her constant companion and a chapter from itB sacred pages and prayer around the family altar were as regular as the evening came. We are thankful for such a long and useful life—a life which should be taken as a model by her posterity. Her suffering was intense but she bore it patiently. Her daughter Mary exclaimed to her, "Oh, that we could do something to relieve your suffering!" She replied, "You have done all you could. What more is required? I long to go to my happy home." Her youth was passed in the pioneer days of this country and to her we are indebted for her fair share of the burdens of those early days. Her early life was not blessed with the conveniences at the disposal of the youth of to-day. The log cabin with its greased paper for a window glass, the puncheon fioor and large fire place answered for the advantages of the modern dwelling. She and Mr. .Stout moved to Favette county, Ind., about 1837, afterwards to this county in 184ti. By hard work and close economy they bought a farm on Black Creek in the Mt. Zion neighborhood. There they lived until a few years ago when Mr. Stout sold the old home place and he and his wife lived among their children. She fought a good fight and it may be truthfully said to her, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Death had no sting for her, the grave no victory.

Rev. Dr. Tucker, assisted by 11. M. Zook, ureached the funeral services. The pail bearers were six grand sons and five granddaughters. Interment at Wesley cemetery.
