A Wonderful Story of an Old Lady.
ST.JOSEPH, MICH., May 9,1894.
Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: I wish to congratulate you in being in possession of such a grand medicine as LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I was in very poor health for along time, cjuld eat no solid food, and scarcely anything else had no appetite, but a continued distress in my stomach, and was very poor in flesh. Your remedy being recommended by one who had tried them, I got a box of same, and can cheerfully and gladly say, after using them, the distress in my stomach entirely ceased, my appetite increased wonderfully, and I gained in flesh very perceptibly. I am a lady seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS have given me a new lease on life. I feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice.
Gratefully yours, MRS. CYNTKIA. RANSOM.
Cured Diabetes,
DR. J. H. MCLEAN'S LIVER AND KIDNEY BALM.
It is a grand medicine. I used three bottles, and, thanks be to God, am a well man again. You are at liberty to publish this if you desire, as I would be glad to be the means of calling the attention of victims of diabetes to a remedy that will give them a blessed relief. LOUIS PHILLIPS,
March 14th, 1895.
The Dp. J. H. McLean Medicine Co., St. Louis, Mo. Gentlemen: I desire to express my heartfelt thanks to you for my marvelous restoration to health. I was sick for many years with a bad case of diabetes which made me very thin and weak. I also suffered much loss of sleep, having to get up so many times at night to pass urine, ana also great annoyance from thirst that water would not satisfy- A few months ago I began to follow your instructions in regard to diet and to use

A VENERABLE DOCUMENT.
A Pay Koll of Mounted Hangers for the Month of December, 18X3.
The other day while Charles A. Gerard was rumaging through some old papers belonging to his father-in-law, the late J. E. Dunn, he ran across an old pay roll of Mounted Rangers, a company which served in the war of 1812, and of which Williamson Dunn was the Captain, and Henry Ristine, father of the venerable Ben T. Ristine, was the Second Lieutenant. Among the list of privates was the name of Nathaniel Dunn, father of J. E. Dunn and grandfather of Mrs. Gerard. The company was recruited in the southern part of the State, mostly in the vicinity of Madison. There is nothing on the roll to indicate where the company served or the length of time for which it was enlisted. It is known that it was at Ft. Harrison a3 Lieutenant Henry Ristine was in command of the post for a time The name most familiar to the readers of THE JOURNAL, however, is that of Ambrose Whitlock, whose certificate is attached as Paymaster. The following is a transcript of the roll:

The following resolution adopted by the State Board at its last meeting is also included:

With the literature that is being distributed is also a full set of instructions for inoculating the serum as prepared by Dr. Hurty
ENUMERATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
State Superintendent Geeting Explains the New Law and the Duties of the Tonnihip Trustees.
At the State meeting, of the Township Trustees Superintendent of Public Instruction Geeting made some pertinent remarks regarding the enumeration of school children. Mr. Geeting thought it the best plan for the Trustees to personally take the enumeration, as he is most interested, and if possible he should not let other office duties interfere. Mr. Geeting said that every child who would be six years of age May 1 should be enumerated, but no child who became six years old after that date should be included. Also, that a person under twenty-one years of age, even if becoming twenty-one on May 1, should be enumerated. All persons under twenty-one must be assigned, in making the enumeration, to the township in which their parents reside—their home. All deaf, dumb and feebleminded childred of the State institutions should be enumerated in the township in which they made their home before being sent to the State Institutions. The children of the Orphans' Homes belong in the township and school district where the home is located, and their enumeration report is to be signed by the matron. Orphans living in families should be enumerated in their own names, and not in the name of the family with whom they reside. All present transfers are void after next April, and hereafter transfers to another school or school corporation must be made every year at the time the enumeration is made, and at no other time, and then only for the next school year The trustee of each township is to report trans fers to the trustees of townships to which transfers are made. Then the county superintendents are to make reports of all transfers to the county auditor, who shall properly appropri ate school revenuein accordance with the transfers. Trustees arenot obliged to make transfers when requested, but are to use their judgment from his decision an appeal can be made to the county superintendent, and his decision is final. Children in one family must be all in the same township, and a part of the children in a family cannot be transferred and a part not. Children in county poorhouses are enumerated in district where their parents live. If one parent is in the poorhouse the children with such parents belong in the district in which the asylum is situated, while if there are also children with the other parent elsewhere these children belong where they reside. The only reason to be considered by trustees in making transfers is for better accommodations.
For the Defendants.
Judge Kennedy has given his decision in the Tomlinson case, it being in favor of the defendants. When Austin Tomlinson died George Tomlinson was appointed special administrator and collected 81,900 life insurance. After paying $500 in claims he turned, by an order of the court, the balance of $1,400 over to the widow as the decedent. C. W. Wright was then appointed regular administrator and brought suit against George Tomlinson on his bond, Wm. Tomlinson and D. W. Hartman, to "recover that 81,400. Judge Kennedy was called to try the case and decided for the defendants.
Albert Wert Harried.
Married, December 26, 1805, at the residence of Joseph Gardner, the bride's uncle, of Indianapolis, by the Rev, G. W. Switzer, of Lafayette, Mr. Albert E. Wert and Miss Lonise J. Held, of Indianapolis.
WELTY-CCM1NGB4M.
George B. Welty and MIM uornella Cunulngliaui Happily married at Darlington.
Special to the Journal. DARLINGTON, Dec. 26.—Even older people are at Christmas times allowed to to the unexpected and not much said about it. But Christmas, 1895, will long be remembered by us in Darlington as one of the most eventful. But of the many unexpected things that happened the marriage of George B. Welty and Miss Cornelia Cunningham was to some the most unexpected, to them no doubt the most happy. Their marriage took place at the Presbyterian church Thursday at 4 p.m., Rev. Gilbert Cunningham, of Illinois, an" uncle of the bride, officiating. The church was most profusely decorated with plants and flowers and promptly at the hour Miss Bertha Booher begun playing the wedding march and the happy couple marched down the isle, the groom escorted by Will Johnston and the bride by her father, preceded by the ushers, W. B. Mount and Lora Shannon, and were met at the altar by the officiating clergyman," who, assisted by the regular pastor, Rev. J. C.
Black, united the lives of these two good people as one. Whom God has joined together let no man put asunder. The groom has long been a resident of the county, making his home in Crawfordsville and teaching school as a profession. The winter of 1892-93 he was the principal of the school at this place, then at Shannondale, now filling his second term as principal at Waynetown, known and respected by all for his many good qualities and especially as a teacher. The bride is the eldest daughter of Cyrus and Emily Cunningham, born and raised here in Darlington. She, too, chose the profession of teaching as her life work, teaching in and around here until the past two years when she has been teaching at Waynetown. The result no doubt we have this day witnessed. She has long been a member of the Presbyterian church, active in Sunday school work and all of the various duties assigned her. She has ever been in the foremost ranks and no doubt will be greatly missed in this good work iiere at home where we have so long known her. But our loss will be gain to others as we are confident she will not lag in'the good work. They left on the 5 p. m. train for Waynetown where they will for the present make their home and where both are too well known to need any recommendation. We can but wish them happiness in the future, yet for so many years they have ^ach been accustomed to having their orders obeyed, the same being the law while teaching, that we have our misgivings about who will start the fires, carry in the wood and such, but we hope for the best and that each will share the joys and sorrows of the other and all will be well. Numerous invitations had been issued and the church was comfortably filled. Many useful and oraroental presents were received. Those from Crawfordsville attending were John Larrick and family, J. A. McClure and wife, Will Johnston, Miss Mary Welty, Jere West and wife, Miss Bettie Kennedy, Misses Lou and Sadie Brown, and a few others whose names we failed to get. Although the day dawned in full winter attire the evening was most beautiful, the rays of sunshine falling on the snow capped trees was most beautiful, and as the evening of their wedding day was, even so may they find life as it nears the close. May it be more beautiful, more sunshine, more joy.
Facts About Indiana Townships.
The number of townships in the State is 1,01G, being an average of eleven to each county. The largest township in the State is in the center of Montgomery county and Crawfordsville is in the center of the township. This is Union township, and it is twelve miles square, or four times as large as the regulation township. The smallest'township in the State is Albion, in Noble county. It is but two miles square. Union township is, therefore large enough to contain thirty-six townships the size of Albion. Jackson is the name of 45 townships in the State, 41 are named Washington, 28 Jefferson, 23 Harrison, 15 Monroe, 13 Madison, 10 Adams and 8 Van Buren. It will be noticed that the naming of townships after Presidents of the United States was very popnlar.
A County of Bankers.
Montgomery county has more banks than any other county in the State of Indiana, Marion, county not excepted. The Montgomery county banks are located as follows: Crawfordsville, 3 Ladoga, 2 and one each at Darlington, Wingate, New Richmond, Waynetown and Waveland.

PART FIRST
A BAR ASSOCIATION.
The Meinbnis of tlio Montgomery County liar Organized on Uonday Afternoon.
Judge Harney last Saturday announced that on Monday afternnon &a 2 o'clock the members of the Montgomery county bar would meet in the large court room for the purpose of organizing a bar association. Bar associations have been in existence in many of the counties for several years and their influence has invariably been for the good and elevation of the profession as well as for the protection of the public against the sharp practice of unscrupulous shysters. The bar association organized here will look toward the purification of the legal atmosphere hereabouts and will take decisive measures toward the suppressing of practice that is at all questionable.
There have been abuses practiced and outrageous privileges usurped by members in times past which the association will doubtless endeavor to correct, It should begin the work of reform by aiding the court in swatting the professional juror, in calling down the attorney who abuses his fellow attorney in the trial of a cause, and in squelching the stirrer up of costly and causeless litigation.
4 BAH ASSOCIATION.
The Attorneys or This City Take Stepa Toward Orgalzatlon In The General Good.
Pursuant to a call by petition the members of the Montgomery county bar met Monday afternoon inthe large court room to take steps toward effecting the organization of a bar association. Upon assembling Judge Harney was made Chairman and W. F. Hunt Secretary. Ben Crane stated the object of the meeting and explained that the purpose of the bar association would be to preserve the professional etiquette, prevent sharp and questionable practice, to assist the court in all ways possible and to establish a schedule of bar prices and sit down on dead beats. A number of attorneys made speeches favoring the organization and upon motion a committee on organization was oppolnted. This committee is composed of G. W. Paul, Judge Thomas, M. W. Bruner, Judge Zellars and Ben Crane.
After the appointment of the committee the bar adjourned to meet next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, when the report of the committee will be heard.
Holiday Joint Debate.
On the second Tuesday night in January, 1890, at 7 o'clock p. m., at the Jackman school house, three miles west of Darlington,the following political question of the day will be discussed in joint debate, viz:
Resolved, That the Congresslif- the United States Bhould, by legislative' enactment, without waiting for the sanction of any other nation, restore silver to the position which it occupied in our monetary system prior to the demonetization act of 1873, and make it unlawful to discriminate between gold and silver in making or diacharging contracts.
Affirmative—M. E. Clodfelter and Charles Benjamin. Negative.
We, the undersigned affirm the above proposition and challenge any two gold Btf ndard advocates t® a joint discussion thereof at said time^and place, or at any other time and place that may be agreed upon.
M. E. CLODFELTEB, CHAS. BENJA^UW.
Poor Belief Reports.
Reports of poor relief by the township Trustees were made under the new law, all over the State during the first week in this month. One important provision of the new law should not be lost sight of. It is that unless the reports made by the trustees are complete and comply fully with the law its&lf, .the county commissioners have no right to make the allowances.' This should be remembered by both trustees and commissioners as the only safety lies in care.. The difference in the amount of work between making the report carelessly and incompletely and making them right is so small that there is no excuse for not making them properly.
