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, could 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 bor 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. CYNTHIA RANSOM

TOWNSHIP CONVENTION.

A Larpo and KntfiuetuHtlc Crowd of Republicans to Prepare for the Content.

The Republicans of Union township met last Saturdaj- at 1:30 at the court house to elect delegates to the district convention, which will bj held at Frankfort on January 21. The large courtroom was crowded when Marshall Nye called the meeting to order. \V. T. Whittiugton was elected chairman and T. H. B. McCain secretary. Mr. Whittington made a few remarks and the oonvention then proceeded to the election of eight delegates to the Frankfort convention, W. T. Brush, John B. Rice and B. R. Russell being made committee on election. Two tickets were in the field as follows:

A. F. Ramsey, F. M. Dice, E. Cole, Richard Breaks, Ambrose Kemley, L. B. McClamrock, Fred B. Gardner, John McAlevy.

A. B. Anderson, C. N. Williams, Henry Clements, Jacob Joel, G. W. Markley, W. F. Teister, T. L. Stilwell, Sam B. Fraley.

For half an hour the Republicans streamed past the tellers, depositing their ballots and the count occupied quite along time.

A recess was then taken to allow the precinct meetings to be held for the selection of committeemen. The several precincts met at the places designated and the following were chosen: Precinct No. 1.—George Enoch.

No. 2.—James Hamilton. No. 3.—Jos. Qrubb. No. 4—F. B. Alexander. No. 5—W. P. Wingert. No. 6—W. R. Glover. No. 7—J. R. Robinson. No. 8—J. D. Tracy. No. 9—C. E. DaviB. No. 10—W. E. Nicholson. No. 11—C. M. McDonald. No. 12—J. H. Cook. No. 13—S. C.Kennedy. No. 14— No. 15—F. G. Mclntyre. No. 16—H. M. Perry.

In precinct No. 14* a dispute arose. At 2 o'clock a portion of the voters met and elected Alfred Simpson, adjourning before 2:3n. the hour of the call. At 2:30 there was another election held at which W. C. Dodds was elected. It would certainly be advisable for the interested parties in this precinct to get together and amicably adjust the matter.

The ticket headed by A. B. Anderson was elected by a large majority with the exception of T. L. Stillwell, A. F. Ramsey on the other ticket leading him twelve votes.

Davls-Hays.

Wednesdayevening, an. 8,at thehome of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hays, three miles south of the city, occurred the marriage of their only daughter, Flora, to Mr. Charles E. Davis, of this city. Promptly at 8 o'clock Prof. Eddie Brandkamp took his place at the piano and to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march the bridal party entered the south parlor preceded by Rev. S. M. Bays, grandfather of the bride, who performed the ceremony in the presence of oouut fifty guests. The attendants were Mr. Chas. Davis, cousin of the groom, and Miss Goldie Dewey, cousin of the bride, Ame Hays, brother of the bride, and Miss Viola Galey, of this city. The bride was attired in an exquisite go mi of creme satin with rare lace and seed pearl trimmings and carried lilies of the valley. Miss Dewey wore a pale blue silk with silver ornaments and carried Marechal Neil roses. Miss Galey wore pale pink silk with pearl trimmings and carried tea roses. The groom and his attendants wore the usual black The parlors were handsomely decorated with amilax and "brides' roses. After the ceremony and congratulations the bridal party led the way to the dining room, which was decorated in pink and white carnations, where an elegant supper was served in courses. One of the pleasures of the evening was the bride's cake with ring insertei for marriage, dime for good luck, and thimble, single blessedness. The lucky parties were Miss Viola Galey for marriage, Miss Lou McComas, good luck, and Miss Helen Hays, single blessedness.

The presents were many and handsome consisting of silver and Haviland China. Friday Mr. and Mrs. Warren Davis gave a family dinner in honor of the young couple.

Kvery County Its Own Crlpplo Creek.

An enterprising correspondent of the metropolitan press furnishes the following interesting item from Crawfordsville:

Considerable excitement has been caused at Gravelly llun, threo miles northeast of this city, by the discovery of an unusually rich deposit of gold. 1 Ueury Morrison, while working on an

old dam at a terminal moraine of an old glacier on Sugar Creek, found several nuggets of pure gold, one of which weighed several ounces. He brought a number of nuggets to this city. As that section has always been thought to contain paying ore, it will now be be worked.

Who knows but that the Iloosier Athens will within the next few weeks be on the outskirts of a bustling mining camp? Perhaps before spring, uncombed and bewhiskered gentlemen in red shirts and high-topped boots will dash up Main street on bucking bronchos, shooting off revolvers and yelling lilte Comanche Indians. The quiet Quakers out on Gravelly Run need not be surprised any morning to awake and find their front yards staked off by fierce looking fellows with pickaxes in their hands and pistols in their belts. Perhaps Quigg's corn field, which yield 115 bushels to the acre, may prove a better field than ever by yielding yellow grains that are not grains of yellow corn. Perhaps—well this is an age of wonders and we need not be surprised at anything

At 7:45 o'clock about thirty young men were at the Peterson House and the ladies called for them and escorted them to Adkins' hall where a reception everyone that came. sons could not stay o'clock the hall was maids, bachelors and young girls who are just starting out in society were in the reverie. The hall had been supplied with tables and a' number of games were the first in evidence. Refreshments were served at an early hour in courses, after which the orchestra, which had previously been summoned, began to play and the floor was cleared of chairs, and two sets at dancing and about three at play kept up a lively pace until a late hour. The affair was a pronounced success and every one present was highly pleased at the first wide open party of the year.

We IIolp Support Otlieva.

The school revenue apportionment sheet, which has oeen made onfc by the Auditor of State, shows that about one half the counties collect more school revenue than they are entitled to expend. This money is distributed by the auditor to other counties which cannot collect the amount of school revenue which is allowed to them. In distributing this money the State Auditor's office becomes a sort of clearing house. Marion county, for instance collects 831,233.69 more school revenue than it is entitled to. The county which collects the next largest excess is Wayne, which supplies other count-, ies with $6,025.79. Montgomery ia third collecting 84,600 00 in excess. Among the other counties that collect more than they are entitled to are: Boone, 82,155.57 DeKalb, 83,292.01: Fayette, 81,465.38: Henry, 84,232.02 Johnson, 82,087.07 Kosciusko, 82,226.23 Noble, 82,229.12 Porter, 83,215 07

Among the counties that are always large beneficiaries from other counties are Brown, Clay, Harrison and Orange. Brown county, for instance, paid into the State treasury at this settlement 81,675.97, and received aB her bounty from other counties 83,078.86 Harrison paid in 85,5^,42 and received AS hep
