HOW TO VOTE.

Voters Should Itegin to fjCimi How Do It Kiglit.

It is almost time to commence educating voters on bow to stamp their ballots under our present system of voting. At every election since the adoption of the Australian system, many votes have been cast also and not counted for the reason that they were not properly stamped. It is not a difficult matter at all to vote under

the Australian law. If you decide to vote a straight ticket you simply stamp in the large square at the head of the ticket you wish to vote. That will count one for each of the candidates beneath that square.

If you wish to vote a scratched or split#ticket, do not stamp within the large square, but stamp the small square to the left of the name for whom you wish to vote. By following these instructions you can make no mistake.

There will be two tickets this year. One will contain the names of the Presidential electors and State officers This will be on red colored paper. The other ticket will contain names of eandide.tes for Congressmen down to County Commissioner. It will be printed on white paper.

When you go into the election room to vote, you will be handed two bal lots. You will take these tickets wi you into the booth, there stamp them and hand itiem to the inspector, who will deposit them in the proper ballot boxes.

ORAWFORDSVELLB, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER i, 189G.-FOUKT.EEiN PAGES

STAMP HERE.

If you do not fully understand bow to mark your ballot you have a right to call upon a clerk to assist you Should there be anything you do not understand it would be well for you to make some inquiry of your neighbor or some other person who can give you the information desired.

Here Are Two.

Last week Mrs. Lucy Woodruff, the guest of Mrs. H. B. Talbot, expressed a desire to know if any older native of Indiana than herself, 76 years, reside in Montgomery county. Two eucb persons have already spoken.

Maxwell MeCullough, residing three miles east of Crawfordsville, was born in Jefferson county in 181S and has been a resident of Montgomery coun ty since 1823. lie was 7S years old on August G.

Mrs. Rebecca Campbell, who lives with Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson was 77 years old on Sept. 28 and was born in Dearborn county. She is still in active possession of her faculties and powers and last winter knit twelve pairs of stockings for the Orphans' Home.

A ltouser at Garfield.

The meeting at Garfield Monday was a great success. The school house was packed and many were on the outside. Eleven new members were added to the Garfield McKinley Club, making the total membership 102. One of the new members was 59 years old and has always voted the straight Democratic ticket heretofore but is now for McKinley. The enthusiasm was unbounded and the speeches were well received. Excellent speeches were made by Johnson, Reeves, Schuyler Kennedy, Gerard, Sprague, McAlevy and Woodward. A delegation of twenty Republicans of this city were present and contributed to the success and enthusiasm of the meeting.

Took a Poll.

To the Editor of the Journal. WARSAW, Oct. 0, —Thinking you would like to hear how the farmers stand on silver, I send you the result of a vote taken on the Big Four excursion from Indianapolis to Warsaw to the grand annual meeting of National Horse Thief Detective Association. The vote was: McKinley 54. Bryan 33. Nearly all these men were representative farmers, and the result shows conclusively that Mr. Bryan is mistaken when he 6ays the farmers are all in favor of free silver.

Respectfully, S. S. KIRKI'ATRICK.

Church Notice.

Nothing preventing, Rev. T. D.Fyffe will preach on next Sunday in this county as follows: At Indian Creek Christian church, two miles south of New Market, at 10:30 a. m. In the Universalist church at Whitesville at 3 p. m. To these services all are in-

FROM A DEMOCRAT. ANNUAL MEETIRG.

Tom Lynch Via* a Vow Worrit* to Say Concerning a Practical f'atmor.

The following letter appeared in the Indianapolis News: "There seems to be an impression in sohie localities in the State that lion. James A. Mount is not a practical fanner. That is far from being tue truth. I have known Mr. Mount for twenty-five years Two years of that time I worked by his side as his hired hand, and if any man thinks Mr. Mount dcesn't know how to work, let him work with him on his farm, as I have, and he will be thoroughly convinced of his error. For two years I helped him at all kinds of work, such as cutting wood, splitting rails, grubbing, plowing, harvestic ricking his own wheat, stacking Lis own straw— even to standing at the 'ail-end of an old threshing machine, talcing away straw, until you could not tell who he was for dust and sweat. Many a day I worked with hi.m when he had old slouch Buckeye hat, cotton shirt and overalls.

I well remember once running a rtce cutting corn with Mr. Mount. The corn was very heavy. He wus then paying nine cents per bhocU for cutting twelve hills square. I claimed that 1 had cut one more shock than he had. He said he could beat ine one in four. So we started, and in seven hours and a half we cut, set and tied fifty-four shocks each, without stopping to eat dinner. When the last shock was up, I was about three armloads ahead of him. Both of us were well satisfied to quit.

When I worked for Mr. Mount, twenty-two years ago, he was then a poor man, renting his father's place and living in two or three small rooms in his father's house. He now owns one of the largest and most productive farms in Montgomery county. He has not made what he has by stingy methods. He has always paid the highest wages to his hired help of any farmer in the community, and does now. To the church and to all benevolent enterprises he is a liberal giver. He always responds heartily when called on for public enterprises and improvements Mr. Mount is a leading spirit, ancl his council is always Eought for in the county and township in which he lives. It is generally conceded that when he "takes hold" the undertaking is likely to succeed. The several free gravel roads in the township are proof of this. All of them were built by the farmers themselves througn private donations, at less than half the cost of the other i-oads of the county, and mostly through M. Mount's inlluence and enterprise During the two years that I worked for Mr. Mount I saved about four hundred dollars of my wages, which was in his hands. When we "settled up" he paid me 10 per cent, interest on the money—something did not ask and did not expect. I am not in harmony with him politically, and never have been. I have always worked and voted with the Democratic party. Yet, I believe, as a man, Mr.

Mount is very well qualified to fill the high position to which lie aspires. 'IHOMAS LYNCH.

Sohllertt' Keuniou.

Owing- to the inclemency of the weather the soldiers' reunion which was to have been held in Rhoden Hamin's grove Thursday, October 3, three miles northwest of Alamo, has been postponed until Wednesday, October 14. This delay has given the association ample time to make all necessary arrangements. Eminent speakers will be present from abroad to address the meeting, also home taletit who will give short speeches and reminesces of the war. Briggs it Bannou, of l'arke county, will be present with their famous sheep skin band and furnish martial music for the entire day. The Alamo orchestra will be present also. All veterans are cordially invited to come with their friends and well filled baskets and help to enjoy the festivities of the occasion. Remember the date, Wednesday, October 11.

Senfttttiou lit Linden.

The religious circles of Linden are all torn up over a little incident which occurred there on Sunday. Several over zealous partisans devoted the day to the construction of a novelty wagon for the Wingate rally. This was bad enough but what made a bad matter worse was the fact that the work was done in the wood lot of a well known minister. The episode has caused no end of unfavorable comment.

Itonnd for Lafayette.

The Lincoln Club of Lafayette has extended an invitation to the Morton Club of this city to attend the grand McKinley rally in that city on the 13th inst. A goodly number of the Morton Club will be there.

A l*ronironi» Condition of All'tiirn ut first 1'rrehytwioii Church-OUU cer» ICW'ctcd.

The annual congregational meeting of the First l'rc^byteriau church was held Tuesday afternoon and showed that the church was never in better condition.

The Treasurer reported that notwithstanding the hard times and the fact that so much had been expended in the East End Chapel, the financial outlook was better than last year.

Messrs. D. F. McClure, David liemloy, W. B. Waugh, H. F. King, Daniel lteuiley and George Bishop were elected trustees for the coming year. Thos. Lynch was added to the board of deacons and W. B. Lyle and I'aul Burns were re-elected elders.

The ItoorKHiiizHtfon.

Railroad men are watching with considerable interest the outcome of the proceedings to reorganize the New Monon Railroad Company, which is now in the hands of a receiver. It is asserted that there is no question that the present owners will buy it when the sale takes place, which will be some time in October, and tha' Samuel Thomas will again be presidentand W. II. McDoel vice-president and general manager. There is about 8115,000 due October 15. and the company has about 55)3,000 to pay it with. Default and order of sale are therefore antici pated. When the company is reorganized it practically starts new again All the old indebtedness will be wiped out, and the owners of the Beattyville bonds will have to whistle for their money so far as the New Monon is concerned. It is the opinion of well informed railroad men that the com pany should not pay for the Beattyville road, which does not touch it by many miles.

Uiiuld a Divorce*

Nancy E. Duckworth has filed suit in the circuit court for a divorce from her husband, Ed Duckworth, the mail carrier who disappeared so mysteriously a few months ago. Her complaint is a lengthy one and sets up a state of facts which would probably surprise the young man if he could read the instrument. Nancy alleges that her husband was a complete failure from a marital standpoint. She states that he failed to provide, that he constantly abused and cursed her and her children, that he reduced her to a nervous wreck by his threats, that he was nearly always drunk, that he wasted his money in gambling houses, that he was frequently in the company of unsuvory women, that he committed crimes against the State and that Me finally abandoned his family. The complaint is a beauty and reads like the romance of a modern Blue Beard.

Editor .Journal. MACK, Ind., Oct. 0, 18'JO—A few days ago 1 thoughtlessly told a pair of free silverites that my sympathies were with them that I was confident our cause (free silver) would win and all the world be blessed etc etc., and Bryan would surely be elected, never dreaming that the talk would be taken seriously, so what was my surprise to learn twenty-four hours later that the free silver llock regarded me as a "brand from the burning," but mistakes are apt to happen in the best of families" and it is so in this ease. My vote is for McKinley. B. M. LINN.

The Democrats are al-j A large concourse of people attended ready arranging for a big rally on that and a very creditable parade was made day. to the hall where Mr. Sheridan spoke.

The following ludicrous fake was telegraphed from Crawfordsville to the Indianapolis Sentinel Monday night: "One of the largest and most successful political demonstrations ever held in Montgomery county was held at Wingate to day. At the lowest estimate. 10,000 people were present, and the parade was a magnificent one, being five miles long. One of the most interesting features in it was a body of 350 Republicans wearing Bryan badges."

BesidcG the weddings for which invitations have already been issued, Crawfordsville will be treated to quite a number of other society nuptials before the holidays. There will be two weddings of note on south Green street, two on east Market street, one on eabt Main street, and two others which the JOURNAL is not permitted to hint of, even by location.

A Dramatic Club,

A dramatic club is being organized in the city and promises to afford no little amusement and pleasure during the coming season. The membership will be about forty and will include both married and single people, not all of whom will be under the necessity of taking part in the presentations, however.

The Yuunt*vlile Meeting.

The Republicans held quite an en-, thusiastic rally at Yountsville Mondey night where Harry C. Sheridan, of Frankfort, delivered quite an able address on the political issues of the day.
