Do You Smoke?

Did you ever step in and buy a cigar in some new cigar store, light it, give it a few puffs, find it most excellent, go on smoking and find it continues most excellent for say ten minutes, and then have it turn out a genuine "cabbage" at the last half? You didn't rush right back there for another of the same sort, did you?

This is the kind of cigars I DON'T sell.

A Farmer Candidate.

Frankfort (Ind.)

Times:

State Sena

tor James A. Mount, who Dame is mentioned for Govoruor, was a soldier in the famous 72a Indiana regiment. His comrades say he was a splendid soldier. He began life in debt—he is a farmer, and with his own hands and brain he has earned and paid for 503 acres of as fine land as there is in the State. He has given each of hjs three children a collegiate education. He farms with all his might, believing that whatever is done should be done right. He was bne of the originators cf farmers''institutes in the State, and has visited nearly every county in the State to attend these institutes. Thus he is busy at home in the summer in practical farming and busy in the winter in teaching the theory of farming to his friends and neighbors.

He has a tenant on his farm this year who raised 2,470 bushels of corn on twenty-five acres of land. Mr. Mount had tifty-seven acres of corn that yielded full 100 bushels per acre. The best »crop he ever raised. The hog cholera killed over 200 hogs for him this year, and yet while other farmers sold their sheep he now has COO head and with the sheep and marvelous corn crop he will prosper notwithstanding his loss on hogs. Mr. Mount is a success as a farmer. He is an intelligent, up-to-date gentleman. He was a splendid soldier. He is a model citizen and finds time to go three miles every Sunday to teach a Bible class in Sunday school. It is likely he will be a formidable candidate before the Republican convention and if nominated would be a strong candidate before the people.

Business Change at Ladoga,

The well known firm of Hostetter, Ashly & Goodbar, at. Ladoga, is preparing to make a change whereby Mr. E. C. Ashly will this week sever his connection with the firm. Messrs. Hostetter & Goodbar will continue in the business.

Couldn't Find Lootzler.

Special to The Journal. PITTSBORO, Jan. 2.—Pittsboro, a quiet little place about eighteen miles from Indianapolis, was startled last Saturday evening to see a stranger all covered with mud driving into town. Of course everybody wondered who he was, where he was from and what his business was. He stepped into one of the stores and inquired if they could tell him where Hortness Lootzier lived, and as no one knew of this fair lady he was directed to our/ worthy postmaster, but the supposition was resting all the while on one of three fair damsels here, but the worthy postmaster told the tale. It seems as though a lady from New Richmond I has been sending mail here with in-

structions to send back to New Richmond and when any came for her to send it there, box 200, ij She stated she wanted to play a joke, but juke it was. When Mr. Benton (as he so stated) learned of this he started back for New Richmond not with the smile that he cair^e with but with a frown and dread. He said he was aware who Miss Lootzier was. Mr. Benton is a grass widower and a handsome gentleman.

A Good *Jea.

The management of the Monon railroad has made arrangements with the weather service bureau to obtain each day the forecasts for the next twenty-four hours. These will be sent I to 2ach station along the line and posted in a conspicuous place by ihs agents. Of course, in' such places as

Crawfordsville, where the reports are regularly received and posted, the advantage will be minimum, but the benefit to such stations as Whitesville, Linden, etc., will be great.

ALAIUO.

Mrs. R. S. Bell has been on the list. Louis Truax was in Covington week.
