PERSONAL MENTION.

Short Items Relative to tbe Comings and Goings of Crawfordsville FBOpie and Their Friends

—Charles B. Kern, of Frankfort, is in the city.

v—Miss

Mabel Speed is visiting friends

in Ladoga. —Mrs. Ed Cotton is visiting friends in Shelbyville.

—John Schultz has returned from Bloomington, 111. —Mrs. Geo. A. Thomson, of Chicago, is visiting W. T. Brush. —Mrs. C. B. Kern, of Frankfort, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Work. —Don't forget Cooley's & Hamilton's combination sale March 27 and 38. —Miss Nina Gill, of Ladoga, has concluded a' several days' visit with Miss Mabel Speed. —Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bailey, of Montpelier, are visiting Mrs. Julia McCullough, on Water street.

Lafayette Con/Her: Mrs. Belle Elliott, of Crawfordsville, is visiting her sons, L. H. and W. H. Elliott. —Alf Lookabill & Co. sold a vacant lot on south Green street for Leon C. Brower to W. B. Brick for $600. .*

Don't forget that Elijah Clore will have a big public sale of horses on June 11 at his stock farm near Alamo. —E. E. Schleppy, 116 north Green street, has several new breaking plows to be closed out at less than wholesale price. Farmers will do well to take advantage of this sale. w3-27 —Rockville Republican: Marshall Nye, of Crawfordsville, spent part of last week here in attendance on his father, who is suffering from an attack of partial paralysis. He returned home Saturday morning... .It looks as though C. B. Landis, of tfc.2 Delphi Journal, would capture the nomination for Congress in the Ninth District without much trouble. If he gets it he will not have to resign this time but will be elected by arousing majority. Well, "Gus" deserves all the good luck there is in the place and we'll wager he gets lots of fun out of it anyhow.

A Card.

For the benefit of the Hunters Eidge scribe I will say that his item referring to Wm. Davidson's and Jas. Jackman's coon hides being found in possession of a Garfield lad was a mistake and rather personal. We hope he will correct his statement, as it is doing an injustice to our boys.

HE WANTS MORE BENEFITS.

B. L. Ornbaun Thinks tbe City Commissioners Gave Him the Worst of It.

B. L. Ornbaun owns that parcel of real estate immediately north of Dry Branch and adjacent to the property owned by Mayor Bandel betwixt the Danville pike on the east and Elm street on the west, lying south of the meanderings of the old Danville road. Chestnut street opens out into Elm from the west where it ends. The city council have perfected the preliminary arrangements to extend it to the Danville' pike. Mr. Ornbaun does not object to the opening of the street, but to the amount of benefits less tbe damages. The commissioners claim he will be damaged $350 and benefited $300, thus leaving him a clear benefit of $50. To this Mr. Ornbaun objects and the case was tried in the circuit court yesterday. The city authorities think they have given Mr. Ornbaun a square deal but he protests and claims he will be damaged much.more than $50. Mr. Ornbaun says if the city will put the street through and grade and gravel it, build the sidewalks and fence the new street properly he will give all the ground free of charge and claim no benefits.
