The continued refusal of the general public to buy Wall street wind and water has caused a great outcry to go up from the dealers in those once attractive commodities. But the general public is get.ing wise. It cannot be fooled all the time. There is every reason why legitimate business and sound investments should be protected and supported, but spectacular fakes and frauds should be discouraged. There has been considerable aciivitiy amid the Eighth congressional district newspapers in the last few days. The Decatur Journal has went into the hands of a receiver, the Pennville

A RECAPITULATION! As composed and written by William D. Roop, late Co. C. 47th, Vol. Inf. now of Marion Branch N. H. D. V. S. 'Twas on Decatur’s boulevard, Without an incident to mar; Our awkward squad first held a meet To set their names, and make complete First here we learned the step entwine To bout face, and dress the line. Os C. D. Hart we lessons booked. How wondrous then his harness looked To Hoosier boy who ne’er had seen The trappings of a warlike sheen. The nodding plume, regalia gay, Been cut of s’.tyle for many a day. Then very soon the time drew nigh When all who cared must bid goodby. And pray! Oh where are they today? Who bade us Godspeed on our way? In their stead now comes to view Some generations strange and new. The nation's pride and hope today As those before, now, passed away;

And should duty call once more Now, as in the days of yore, Champions, as to numbers found. Would stand like stubble on the ground. Full six and forty years now passed Since the bugle's clarion blast; ( Filled the land with war's alarm Called the Nation's sons to arm. Then Indiana's sons were we, And thought' our duty plain did see. We didn't ask. nor pause, nor wait, But volunteered any fate; ( “To save the Nation,” it was said, From secessions omnioe* tread! From every calling came the boys, Sacrificing home and joys. Leaving wife or sweetheart dear. Friendship ties, and all good cheer; To be soldier men and fight! In God's name for human right! Tenting life was then brand new. And Sullivan camp our rendezvous. Numbered soon one thousand strong. And to move the cause along; Then organized a regiment good As ever formed of human wood. In chief command was Jas. R. Slack. On foe he never turned his back! 'Twas thus our regiment started out, Numbered 47th without a doubt Your present scribe was there to grace The oft desired file and place; Os “highest private in rear rank;” And many a one his stars might thank! To never a once be killed outright—'Because of this he's here tonight! But as to fright, his was immense, i It was both chronic and intense. I As when no chance was seen to trek, Thought sure, he'd get it in the neck! Thus, when the missiles thickly flew And Johnnie's aim was good and true; As oft it was I must relate, i The sealing of some cowards fate. ' Your long years of tented life. , Your long years of varied strife; ' Nor adequate the pen to say lAt ’his far and distant day. Whether humor grim might be, Attached to facts so plain to see. As when the army ration palled Or, the mule train long been stalled; That ‘.'hen the visclous poultry brood j Would seem in the very worst of mood ■ Would attack our camp by night! I Same as in the broad daylight! , In this case what could we do? ' Defend ourselves as best we knew! 'And if the birds would not decamp, Os course, a few would die of e r cmp! ■But, TO all such as took to w;ng, INe never did a single thing! [And when our forage trains went out. The delicacies all about, [From their hiding place would lump! IRight at the wagons' sil.’r gump; I And all their tribe they'd suixiy bring | Just as if tied upon a StringCampaigning 'neath a blistering sun. Battles fought and victories won; Many heroes bravely fell. Pierced by fatal shot or shell. Many- wounded night to death, A whispered prayer 'neath bated

breath, And fell diseases lurking there, Also claimed a part and share. In the manner thus related, Oft our ranks were decimated; I Till the dawn of glorious peace, Did our sovereign host release. ' Soon ahen all had disappeared, lAs a mist the sunbeam cleared. Gladly now they wend their way, Homeward swiftly as they may. Treasured memories as they sped, Os the southland and the dead. We must leave you where you fell, In the battle fought so well. Peace be with you comrades brave, As you rest in hallowed grave; May a southern sky bend low, Balmy breezes ever blow; May the starlight twinkling bright. Vigils ever keep by night. Os thai vast array which stood For our nation's only good; Many climes and countries, too, Claimed the boys that wore the blue. Soon dispersed then far and wide, This valiant guard, our countries pride By divers paths they sought to gain. Some treasured goal in vision plain. In cheerful homes, before ’twas late, The many settled down with mate. To foreign shores some went to dwell, Their duty here requited well. The few went) roving far and wide, Ceaseless as an ocean tide. But, as to success, or each ones lot, The witness now deposeth not. Full many a year has rolled between! Since we last each other seen— A Jolly band when then we met, But many of those suns have set. Near half a century has now sped, Ike a meteor o'er the bead, Near half a century slipped away. The rearguard now is bent and gray In our ranks the step is route; The thin blue line Is fraying out; Thus, in reunions friendly greet. Mayhap we all no more will meet; And as befite a scene near closed. My kind regards are now proposed! The missing dead we reverence give, And due respect to all who live! Then here’s good cheer for every fate. To both the early and the late. For those who quickly passed away, And those who made a longer stay. To all of those who yet remain— And to their frionds, the same refrain. That all in fellowship may dwell, Then here's a health.and fare you well.
